Hard liquor is not an answer.View attachment 495207Unlike some, I don't get my life validation from a message board.
But if you go watch it, it was obvious that he got in. There's a point where you can literally see his whole upper body past the goal line. Unless the ball was in his back pocket, it's a TD. There has to be room for at least that much common sense in a replay. Plus, I really think I can see the ball.
They couldn't find the ball? Cause on the replay I seen I was easily able to find the ballTheir hands may have been tied when they couldn't find an angle that showed the ball. They need to be able to use some common sense on one like that though. The real crime was that the booth didn't buzz down for a replay and forced us to burn a timeout to ask for it.
And letting someone piece it together like that was the way it was done before replay. People demanded replay because they did not like how the refs pieced it together so they claimed they want it indisputable, but really they just want the refs to see it the same way as they do regardless if it's correct or not.But if you go watch it, it was obvious that he got in.

I definitely agree with that; there will always be mistakes and people will always call them out on it. I just want to see an SEC ref crew being more of a destination job. Pay better than everyone else, enough that people could actually make a living at it. Have stringent performance reviews, annual training, work on coordination with the booth/Birmingham so reviews don't butcher the flow of the game, etc etc. If you set it up where being on an SEC crew means you've "made it" then you can draw people to that nationally. That'd at least be a nudge in the right direction.Really don't think full time refs would be any better. People rant on NBA refs and MLB umpires all the time.
