It's not a good look blaming everything on the refs. Georgia actually got away with a third targetting foul last night. They got away with some terrible holds, too.
Just part of the game. It evens out.
I don't know that it matters. Aggie paranoia is not a basis for deciding this. You've made a point of knowing all UT refs and assume they are crooked.TxAgPreacher said:RVHorn said:

No Aggie ref should ever call an a&m game.
Can you say the same about sip refs?

I thought I read where the official said he erred when making the call. How does that come about? He saw something, threw a flag, then later decided he didn't see what he thought he saw?

The most difficult part of that entire scenario was signaling the student section to start throwing stuff on the field to make sure we had enough time to call the booth official to tell him to tell the field official to reverse the call. I wasn't even at the game so I was furiously texting the password to the only Texas student I know, hoping like hell he was still sober and had his phone on him. Thank God he did. Then he used his flashlight on his phone to signal the booth official via Morse code who saw it, radioed down to the head ref, who changed the call. It was exhausting but worth it.
It was a call that can't be reviewed/reversed, and a no call on the delay of game by the piss poor students/t shirt fans.
The call can't be officially reviewed via replay, eg the ref going over to the sideline replay monitor and reviewing it. However, the officials have full discretion to discuss it amongst themselves and reverse the call. I don't think peeking at the Godzillatron replay in the stadium violates that rule.
They literally moved the ball and the clock ran before the "review". Only longhorns are trying to justify this reversal. It was a bad call, sure, but so were a couple on the Aggies that extended drives for Miss State where they would have otherwise punted.
This. There was 16 seconds left on the play clock for Georgia, and the refs were in position for the next play when trash was thrown on the field. They stopped and reset the play clock, then had their huddle and changed their minds. It was pathetic.
So if that's true, and I have no reason to believe it's not, is that absolute proof positive that the refs are in Texas' pocket? Or would it be more accurate to assume that rather than being corrupt, the refs were simply incompetent. They absolutely sharted the original call. Wouldn't it be more logical that they screwed up the reversal as well? Occam's Razor is pretty reliable. Conspiracy theories, not so much.
Don't know about conspiracies but it sure is interesting how all these incompetent officials keep losing their competence in ways that seem to benefit the sips a whole bunch of times. And it goes back years:
- vs Kansas (04) and the OPI that wasn't
- vs USC (06) and Vince's knee down
- vs Nebraska (09) and the magic one second
- vs Iowa State (13) and the fumble that was until it wasn't.
and of course the personal foul called by the sip ref super fan against the Aggies.
Those are just some I easily recall. Funny thing is that others probably have more examples of sip benefiting ref incompetence that I'm not remembering.

But that's exactly the problem. They are not professional. They should be. They should be full time, fully paid professional officials who have to answer for every egregious call. And the fact that they are not is what has led to all these issues.fc2112 said:

You are obviously a troll or a moron. Probably both, but I will tell you that these are not professional officials. They are part of the good old boy network and have been doing this for years. I will admit that if I was calling the A&M /Texas game, I could not be honest. I would call holding on tu all day. There is no way that the Aggies would lose that game.

It's just human nature to be biased, you might tell yourself you aren't but it's something you just can't help. If there was a close call against A&M I'd definitely not call it. That's why if you're a fan of a certain team you shouldn't be a loud to ref those games or even in that league. The SEC needs to really be looking into this crew because what they did they was unpresidential and they should make sure this doesn't ever happen again.Stone44 said:You are obviously a troll or a moron.

Did anyone else notice just how many sip fans, who may or may not have thrown anything on the field, were gleefully supporting the throwing of trash on the field? Pretty telling, and sad.Nino Brown said:

And it's been confirmed. You guessed it, sip had their guy dressed up as a zebra yesterday, and no it's not Halloween yet.
Head ref Matt Loeffler, a business owner in Dallas with a window company realized what was likely in the best interest of his company while making every bad call, missed call and reversed call last night.
The sip helmet that hangs on the wall of his office also should not be ignored. Not to mention that his son graduated from sip.
We damn well better be doing our due diligence for our game in November.This kind of crap shouldn't be allowed. And it's high time we beat them at their own game considering this bs comes as no surprise to us.
I agree there is no practical way for this to happen at every level. But there is a way for it to work at the highest levels of football. People have been clamoring for full time NFL refs for a while. There is just too much at stake. Many games have been decided by a controversial call. With the enormous amount of money flowing in this sport, it really isn't too big of a financial commitment to raise the salary for a select number of officials for the NFL (say 50-75) and for ~150 FBS officials. That's really not too much to ask for such a critical part of the game.agracer said:no practical way for this to happen.davinhalcyon said:But that's exactly the problem. They are not professional.

NFL Refs are not full time.
