The scoop and score ruling…

I don't intend to ever stop beating this horse. This is the new Jabar Gaffney. The SEC officiating crew stole seven points from Tennessee and until they give them back, I don't intend on letting go. I'm not going to talk about it nonstop, but I will never, ever forget what they did to the Vols Saturday.

The picture showing the receiver running looking back for the ball proves the play wasnt over. The replay official had access to that picture/video but chose not to share that info evidently.

True. And also true - I don't even care about "the play being over" nonsense. That's not even something that matters. By that logic, the play was over the moment the defense broke through the line. By that same logic, no defensive player should ever be able to hit a QB and cause a fumble because the play "would be over." That's a bunch of morons talking out of the sides of the mouths. Anyone with a pea sized brain could see you can't declare forward progress stopped on a pass play. They're basically denying the defense a chance to engage and make the play. Those morons should google "strip sack" and watch how many times last weekend NFL teams broke through and sacked a QB holding the ball for a pass. There were plenty. Dallas had a big one. Some other team I forget at the moment had one. Defense broke through, hit the QB, QB fumbled ball, defense scored. ALL of them counted as touchdowns.

The officials were wrong, the SEC is wrong to defend them, and the media is wrong to suck up to their pathetically inept display of "officiating." And any member of the media who excuses or defends it - or pretends it doesn't matter - is wrong, stupid, stupid, and wrong.
 
Why would a whistle been blown in the first place? What did the refs see that would cause them to blow the whistle in the first place?
It was acknowledged they didn't blow a whistle or hear one, they retroactively decided to call the play dead because Ole Miss said they thought they heard a whistle. Ole Miss players kept playing except the QB, so even if he thought he heard a whistle it isn't reason enough to call it dead retroactively in a noisy stadium, kind of defeats the whole idea of home field advantage. Anyway the only people who thought they heard a whistle was Kiffin and Corrall...

If there was an inadvertent whistle, wouldn't they have replayed the down??
 
both the head ref and back judge ran with the player to the endzone. they were the closest ones to the play and would have called him down if anyone. then the ole miss special teams unit came on. only after that did they huddle around and change the call


It was the ref and the center judge, but yeah.

I'm okay with reminding the SEC office and never forgetting how bad a call it was. The part about not endlessly discussing is what I was getting at.
 
It’s probably not wise to pick at this scab, but I’m going to do it anyway.

I was watching the Oklahoma game and saw a fumble where the receiver was pushed back several yards before losing the football. No consideration of forward progress.

This may have been said already (haven’t read the whole thread) but the refs ran to end zone, signaled touchdown, and then placed the ball on the 3 for an extra point. That play was not ruled dead and if they’re saying it was they’re lying.

I believe they were swayed by Kiffin and Corral claiming they “gave up” on the play because they believed the play was dead.

Which is complete garbage. It was a play devised to fool the defense that got wrecked. I’d like to say I’m over it, but I guess I’m not. 😅

I’ve never seen anything like that before in years of watching college football. Referee incompetence.

Complete screw up. SEC needs to man up on this and acknowledge the refs are screw jobs! We’re still sore from that job they gave us!!
 
So you're asking me to believe that if somehow the fumbled ball was picked up by Ole Miss instead of us, and they ran for a touchdown as the refs ran along with them all the way to the end zone, then both teams started trotting out their special teams unit for an Ole Miss extra point, but then suddenly the ruling/call came down that returned the ball to where the QB got hit and it would be a turnover on downs... And I'm expected to believe that too would be ok?

That's what I'm being asked to believe?
An Ole Miss scoop and score would’ve stood. How do we know? Look at the OU-Kansas game today.
 
I call bs on that. If he would have slipped free and run for a TD they sure as hell would have counted it. Who has ever heard of player control in football? Basketball- yes, football-no.

I just finally saw this play. Just now. Forward progress my ass. That definitely was a fumble and six for Tennessee. May those refs burn in Hell. May pain, misery, and death follow them for the rest of their sorry days, in any order God sees fit to visit it upon them.
 
I heard the ref Tom Ridder on Doug Mathews show say “for some unknown reason, the QB just stopped”. If you don’t know that play & that he was hiding the ball trying to sell the defense he didn’t have it, you’re too F—KING stupid to be a football official, much less Supervisor of Officials!!! They know that play. His response is proof to me they blew the call.

It was going to be a wheel route up the East sideline and if the Vol DL guys had released Corral he would have thrown it deep down the sideline.
 
I will acknowledge that the spot was correct...ish on the 4th down play. However, the scoop and score ruling was straight up Bull$hit. The refs know it as well as the SEC office. It's all CYA at this point.
Spot was correct but would love to know how official 20 yards behind and 20 yards to the side of it made that call.
