re: So what’s the bad call everyone is posting about? I was at our game and missed this

While I am in complete agreeance that it was a bad call, to act as if it was some scathing incident that reinforces the tin foil hat narratives is asinine. I can easily see how the ref could have perceived it as a block in the back.















As you can see, it appears as though the MSU player initially made light contact with the DB's back. He does pull his hands off, and does not push him, but he pulled off right as the Bama player started to dive at the ball carrier. The fact that the MSU guy threw his hands up immediately, which is what most guilty parties do in that situation, probably did not help.


Again, I am absolutely not saying that it was a good call, but I can see how the ref at the angle that he was at could have perceived it as a block in the back.

Just my opinion. Bring on the downvotes.

Let's not forget the blatent offsides they didn't call after they reamed us with that BS block in the back.

Well I don't agree with any bias. Even in favor of Auburn.

So you don't think each school already has a representative on the body that runs the SEC.

It's a damn shame you had no penalties called this game. Exhibit A:

Weird, that looks like everyone but the center false started.

Exactly. Offsides my arse.

Bro, MSU was holding our Dline the entire night. They weren't calling holding, period.

If they were, it would've been called. It was already demonstrated that the refs were in the tank for you guys.

No video. It was on my FIL TV, but they is clearly defensive offsides in the video I watched last night.

They were a bit late flagging the delay of game infraction. However, the officials are working differently nowadays. They are letting the action proceed for the most part in case their dead ball
whistles would be in error. On the delay of game play, I’m still waiting for an illegal motion or illegal procedure called on the Mississippi State running back who never got set in place Or stopped moving forward for a full second before the ball was snapped. Auburn has done that so repeatedly since Gus returned, the officials don’t even call it anymore.

Sounds like officiating was pretty bad across the board. In the Ole Miss game, AJ Brown had been out of bounds for 5 yards when he was thrown to the ground. Hurt his hand but not bad enough to miss more than a drive. This happened directly in front of a ref.
