According to The Derek Dooley show, Dooley and his staff plan on sending the SEC at least five instances from the LSU game that they're confused about and want a clarification on. The example he gave being the LSU player throwing his helmet. He doesn't think it will change the outcome of the game though.

Am I correct in understanding this is just for review and not appeal?

Game is over, Dooley realizes that. I see nothing wrong with clarification if they don't understand why certain calls were made. I would rather not he formally appeal though.

Fulmer did this after the horribly officiated Bama game in 2002. I think it's worth point out obvious errors.

he's probably doing it more for the players and the fans than anyone... he knows the rules and he knows nothing will change.

I definitely would want clarification about the ripping off of Simms helmet and LSU not getting flagged.

I think he is handleing this the correct way instead of blasting Officiating to the Media like Former Coach Kiffy Poo did.

I thought Dooley has made the clear, he will not appeal since it will not, and should not change the outcome of the game. This inquiry is just for clarification that the coaches will know how to handle the situation better and teach the players in the future.

Its good for both sides to review. Coaches need clarification so that they know how to prepare for the future and refs need to be held accountable if they make mistakes. I would think a former appeal would be taking it too far. The truth is...it didn't go our way this time but it might go our way the next time...we've pulled out accidental wins before.

The helmet throwing is a very, very good point that should have been addressed by the officials before that last play. If the game was still "live" then that should have been a 15 years penalty and ejection.

I guess. Would you not penalize UT for rushing the field?

I think the rule will be that the game had ended.... but the reality is the game had not ended because there was one more play.... the LSU player in question thought as the rest of us did that it was over

I think the helmet toss was during play and the rushing of the field was after, but I would have to go back and watch it again.

I'm all for this added harshness

Pass Interference should be the loss of a finger too

i don't understand why so many are bringing up the "taking off the helmet" issue. people that point to that as a reason for us "getting screwed" are seriously grasping at straws. the guy took his helmet off so close to the end of the play and to the end of the game that it wouldn't have mattered in that situation. no sane ref is going to call that at that point of the game whenever there is that much chaos going on on the field.

I'm more frustrated about the pass interference AND the fact that LSU's offensive line was not set when that ball was snapped.

And to your point, we could have had 20 players on the field and it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the botched snap, a penalty is a penalty and it should have been called if the ball was live.

About the only way I could imagine a game being over-turned would have to do with some sort of corruption -- ala, a very extreme and obvious situation. This has never occurred.

This is not one of those situations. I imagine he is simply submitting these issues for official/sec leadership awareness and an audit of the events to see if improvement can be gained from reviewing the events that occurred at the end of the game.

As much as I always want to blame other people, I just cannot do it in this case. I watched the end of the game very closely. Both teams and all the coaches and all the refs handled the final 3 minutes poorly and it was a complete "f" show. Just my 2 cents. Now it's time to get ready to put the final nail in the coffin for Richt.

GO VOLS!!!

I still have yet to see any flags that were thrown though but I guess it doesn't matter since the booth can replay without a flag.

No... A couple of the game officials were also headed for the exits... :):):)

Expect an apology from the SEC office concerning the officiating. Roger Redding, commissioner of SEC Football Officials has plenty of experience in apologizing...

This is the same 'white hat' that had the LSU-GEORGIA fiasco (the phantom taunting penalty) last year that resulted in the SEC issuing a suspension. I don't think it was the same "crew" however.

Anyway, consistency still remains the number one issue for SEC referees.

I for one, would like to see the statistics or situations on how it always appears that 'ranked' SEC teams, playing at 'home' virtually always have the "breaks" go their way, late in the game of closely contested games. Not sour grapes, but just an observation...

For golf fans out there, this kind of reminds me of the Dustin Johnson debacle. Grounding his club would not have changed to outcome of the shot that he made, regardless it is still a penalty and it had to be called.
