re: Danny Etling Confirms LSU was Hosed - Touchdown was Good

even if that is the case, miles played with fire too many times.

Well, if Danny said so...

Otherwise Les would've kept his job. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Still melting. Impressive.

Actually he raises a legit question about exactly how the snap procedure went down. Surely the Center would have been instructed to snap the ball as soon as possible? And yes, the QB being under Center does raise doubt about how the officials in the replay booth could see when the ball was in the QB's hands. But here's the problem. From the replay it appeared that there was a significant delay between the time the clock started and the QB receiving the ball. When there's just one second left on the clock, how do the officials synchronize the clock starting with the officials on the field signaling that the next play can begin? Yea, the referee blows the whistle but to me the clock should start when the whistle is blown. Who starts the clock and how is that synchronized with the officials on the field? If the Center snapped the ball as soon as he heard the whistle (and I don't know why he would not) then to me the play should have been legit. But if in fact the Center didn't snap the ball when he heard the whistle, then that's on the coach and the team for not being prepared for those specific circumstances. There was a review of the previous play; they had plenty of time to prepare.

Danny... You lost

He has a legit gripe. The ref never signaled ready for play to my knowledge. At the same time there was an illegal motion so it's not like the play would have counted anyways

I believe Etling. Referees in the state of Alabama are known cheaters.
