Alabama vs LSU game thread CBS

[eVOLve]

SEC officials desperate to keep Bama alive for the playoffs.

LSU isn't out of it. At this rate a 2 loss team will get in.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

How the **** did the refs not blow that dead??????

 

[volinreallife]

Don't call that now

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

His forward progress was stopped then he was pushed back 10 yards with no whistle? And I guarantee had he fumbled it would have been upheld

 

[UTK]

I could ask the same about these Tennessee fans in here with their purple pom poms

Hey I had Arkansas Pom poms when you all choked. But UT didn't do much better so all is fair.

 

[TrueOrange]

Yeah but still a weak call.

Doesn't matter. There's no reason he has to shove that guy like that after the play's dead.

I get they want to be tough, but these guys should be brought up in practice knowing that any extra shove has the potentional of drawing a flag.

And times like this, moments like this at the ends of close game, aren't the time to risk it by getting all emotional and doing something, well, stupid like that.

 

[Spartacavolus]

They let some posing and shoving go, but the lsu dude did it after everything seemed to be settling down.

Because a bama defender had him by the thigh with his leg lifted off the ground. He shoved the guy to get him off of his leg.

Not likely unless they're all 2-loss teams.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

So a chance for a touchdown or 20 yard field goal turns into a 38 yarder.

I agree it was cheap. I'm just saying the lsu guy needs to keep his composure. We'll see if it matters.

Edit: Nope ... probably not

 

[UTK]

Not likely unless they're all 2-loss teams.

Agreed.

 

[TrueOrange]

Then why not flag the Alabama player grabbing his leg?

Either way, they always call the guy that hits/shoves back in retaliation, so why even risk it.

That's something one's supposed to learn in high school.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Thank god.

Play defense for 50 seconds LSU

 

[bowlinggreenvol]

How was that not a touchback

The rules for downing a ball are retarded. If a bouncing ball/punt in the air hits a defender its dead on the spot. Yet for it to be downed and not be a touchback you have to posses it and stand on 1 leg for 10 sec before they consider it dead.

 

[Spartacavolus]

Amazing how little they have shown Kiffin tonight, as his offense has done nothing.

 

[jonnon111]

HAHAHAHAHA Buck Fama!

Love to see them lose! Im going to hold my breath for the last 50 seconds now.

EDIT: I wish i would have suffocated now!:thud:

 

[Souce]

Dang, the refs have their work cut out for them now. How will they pull this out for Bama?

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Wow.

Kick out of bounds

 

[Plecoptera]

Big mistake by the LSU kicker.

 

[TrueOrange]

Starting to turn into a clusterf--k by LSU in the end here....

 

[Aesius]

Ugh. Horrible mistake.

 

[orangelo]

3rd and Chavis

 

[WooPigSooie]

If there is a coach of the year award.. there should be an overrated coach of the year award. and even though he is just a coordinator, Kiffin should win it

Yeah it does matter when the other guy is holding his leg. Call it offsetting but don't act like the guy just flipped out for no reason.

 

[jonnon111]

I think that bama receiver heard footsteps!
