Everyone in America knows it's not targeting. Yet even with a replay system they refuse to call it correctly. Pathetic.

Why not have a dedicated replay location in Atlanta where all of the challenged/reviewed calls are reviewed? Have your 3 best reviewers and handle all issues outside of the stadium.

Between that, which was beyond ridiculous, and the Duke/Miami fiasco we have a highlight reel of stupid.

Speaking of which, all of that mess the officials got themselves into by not calling 3 penalties that were and calling one that wasn't before picking it up - could have been avoided by simply calling the first guy with the ball down when he was down. smh.

Oh that John Cooper. This is going to sound bad so I apologize, I had no idea he was alive. He's gotta be 80+ by now.

Once again, I have no problem with them throwing the flag. That should be done every time a collision with a wr is made with that kind of velocity and reaction. However, get it right on the replay. Moseley went out of his way to duck his head and strike with his shoulder. There should be a review board in place for after the game as well.

Okay, it’s Wednesday and time for midweek SEC picks. My record is at 39-18 ATS for the season coming off a disappointing 3-3 last week.

Wednesday lines per VegasInsider:

Ole Miss at + 7 Auburn
Georgia vs. -2.5 Florida
Vanderbilt at -11.5 Houston
South Carolina at -16.5 Texas A&M
Tennessee at +8.5 Kentucky
UT Martin at Arkansas (Currently Off)

My Picks:

Ole Miss 30 Auburn 31
Georgia 23 Florida 20
Vanderbilt 20 Houston 28
South Carolina 20 Texas A&M 30
Tennessee 41 Kentucky 27
UT Martin 6 Arkansas 48

Good luck.

Actual Scores:

Ole Miss 27 Auburn 19 L
Georgia 3 Florida 27 L
Vanderbilt 0 Houston 34 L
South Carolina 28 Texas A&M 35 W
Tennessee 52 Kentucky 21 W
UT Mart 28 Arkansas 63 L (closing line was -37).

Terrible week. 2-4 drops me to 41-22 for the season. No more betting with my heart (wanted Georgia and Auburn to be better than they are so that the Vols could make it Atlanta). Back to beating with my brain. A lot of games this week. Check in Wednesday for picks.

No he's 78. He told me today. He doesn't look but to be about 70 though. He's from Powell originally but he is all Columbus now. Said he would love to move back but his family loved it there.

You are telling defenders to let the offensive player by. Or, you know, just go for the knee. That would work out well.

That was a catch, a textbook hit, and fumble. As has been said, it's understandable to get it wrong in real time, but to get it wrong after such an easy review is unforgivable.

So his punishment is having his scholarship pulled in the spring semester, when there is only spring practice going on? He isn't getting any game suspensions effective immediately? If so, LOL!! What a joke! You know a booster will pay his tuition for one semester anyways. Nicely done, Urban...that a way to tell the young man that there is absolutely nothing wrong with what he did. Such a great coach and father figure to these young men! :sick:

Hot and heavy recruiting the 2017 class. Contract needs to be extended for that class to graduate or it will be used agiant us in recruiting

Give more salary with less buyout to protect ourselves
Click to expand...

Give him 4 mill from 3.6 and make his buy out a little more if he leaves and keep it thru 2020 where it is now at. Bumps him to 5th place tie in conference from 10th and is only 400k.

What was lucky about that strike he threw to Malone?
Click to expand...

How many passes has he completed that are down the field throws? I can only remember one other one he's completed this year, which was to Preston in the end zone. Granted, our WR's have only recently showed up in the last few games so he's also finally getting help from them. I'm not bashing JD, but his down the field accuracy is not as good as we'd like it to be and sometimes he doesn't get enough time to look downfield before he needs to escape. But yeah, until he shows more consistency in throwing the deep ball I'll call it lucky. People can disagree all they like, doesn't bother me. I'm just stating my opinion here

Coleman Thomas. He doesn't get enough praise.

He has been a stud out there this year.

Ya, he's really good on pulls. He had his hands full with that huge nose tackle this week. Couldn't move him out of the way as easily.

I use to be a member of the Crowder 5, but was able to get out. My identity is being protected by the government so my former brothers don't harm me for saying I was wrong about Coleman being our best center.... Mack ain't trash, but he can't pull like Coleman does.

Get it right on the Replay; but, BS on calling every collision with a WR a targeting foul.

I still feel like Cortez McDowell, Dillon Bates and Gavin Bryant will all contribute a great deal at LB before they go. All will be in year 3.

They are all certainly unknowns. But all 3 have made big plays on special teams and look stronger than they were when they got here. Truthfully I just think JRM has been too good to take off the field.
Click to expand...

Don't forget JRM was a Special Teams stud before he took Maggit's OLB spot. I think any one of these guys can fill JRM's shoes admirably.. But like AJ last year, we never really gave the young guns much time on D because he was a machine in that spot

I remember someone posting that and I watched the replay and didn't see Picou. Pretty sure he was supposed to RS, so I'd be curious what changed.
Click to expand...

Unless I was seeing things, he was out there on the last defensive drive. Seems like an odd place to burn a red shirt.

This might sound crazy, but I have a large family base in Birmingham that really gives me heck about Bama beating us repeatedly. Their take is that Saban moves to AD on retirement and they think Kiffin would get the HC job before Smart.
Click to expand...

I can't see Saban as an AD anywhere. This guy talks down to everyone. That's not a good trait for an AD. I would bet the farm this never happens.

But they don't call it that way. They selectively enforce. And that's a problem.

It's very unfair to Moseley. Receiving a harsh punishment for something he didn't do, with video proof he didn't do it, is just wrong.
