Auburn will have a light day.
October 22, 20241 yr I mean if I'm being honest if some other fan base did it I'd probably think they were trashy. But in this specific instance I can forgive it because the call on the field was that egregious in how bad it was. That game is basically over if they call that a penalty and give Georgia the ball back.
October 22, 20241 yr If I'm being honest, a bad call of that magnitude being rushed with the beneficiary lined up to snap the next play, my opinion of the fans and their trashiness would depend very much on their preexisting reputation and whether anyone got hurt. I would probably feel the same if this had happened to Michigan at the Big House, for example, but it really just depends on context and execution.

I told an SEC SEC SEC guy, that I didn't know Kirby was going to whine about this after the game and he lost his mind. When I ask him about Tennessee batteries and mustard bottles and LSU piss balloons he quit responding. They're whining about being robbed because they didn't get what was the worst call since the Oklahoma St. fumble in what 2014? And then they claim they were robbed in not getting the TD at the one, which looked like a good call to me. The ones who watched it on TV are trashing Texas fans and talking all kinds of shit. The ones who were actually there all had great experiences.
October 22, 20241 yr 16 hours ago, NameAlreadyInUse said: What I’m really saying is refs should do their best to call the game correctly and when one of them makes a mistake the other refs should hold them accountable in that moment, or at the least they should be held accountable in a meaningful way after the game. When you can’t count on accountability against the people in charge of ensuring a clean game, you aren’t dealing with a clean game. We chose not to just shrug our shoulders and aww shucks our way through that situation and instead we got dirty when they got dirty. And holy shit it fucking worked! They would not have changed that call without the delay. I would rather not go dirty, leave that to the sister fucking okies, but I’m not mad that some water was spilled on the field to call out a rigging which was actively underway under our noses. I would like to reiterate, I grew up in west Texas where refs are reviled, so I have some bias here. I think there's a lot bigger issue with gamblers paying the refs than trying to screw teams. Those Oklahoma St. refs HAD to have money on that game. They couldn't hate Texas and Strong that much.

If we're being honest, it's a hijack of a hijack, so a double negative. Technically not a hijack at all. Between the lines, though, and after seeing your earlier anti-bottle stance, I perceive a subtle message here. It's "Water bottles? Armybrat don't need no stinkin' water bottles." 😁
October 22, 20241 yr Some years ago, Texas fans sat quietly while zebras repeatedly raped student athletes at the behest of conference big wigs so they could send their buddy Grant Teaff off in to the sunset with a win. Sitting quietly and ""enjoying rape" is a losing Clayton Williams strategy. Instead of trying to penalize the fans that were protesting an egregious error, the SEC should be reimbursing them for their lost beverages.

October 22, 20241 yr I had never seen this story on that game before. Holy crap, even Teaff admits it. https://baylorbears.com/news/2017/10/27/baylor_flashback_nov_21_1992.aspx I was at the game and sitting about 5 rows up near midfield among Baylor players' families. It was right in front of what I now recall was ruled as a non-recovery of a fumble that was clearly still inbounds. What that play was is a little fuzzy, but what's not is the very clear memory of call after call after call that went against us, including the spotting of the ball on Brown's run.

I can tell you about the play you are referring to... Baylor had the ball and there was a pass to the right side of the field. Receiver caught the ball, turns and was immediately hit by the Texas defender and the ball came out. Texas recovers. There were two reasonable rulings on the play - either it was incomplete or it was a catch and a fumble recovered by Texas. The call? Catch and down due to forward progress being stopped. Complete and utter bullshit call.

October 22, 20241 yr 16 hours ago, NeverMarryAStripper said: Yes, CDC should have come out with a statement supporting throwing water bottles on the field every time they’re upset with a call. In fact, he should encourage them to branch out and not just restrict themselves to water bottles. Beer cans would work, and batteries are always popular. Hell he should ask them to all bring golf balls. You can throw a golf ball a fucking long ass way, and I guarantee if you hit a ref in the head with a golf ball from the stands he will think twice about throwing that flag next time. He doesn't have to say all that. he can just say he considers bringing golf balls to a game as "good luck" and a new turdition. they are kind of like spherical tortillas made of rubber and polyurethane.
