Florida's decision to go for it instead of kick the FG was, IMHO, another idiotic decision. I'm guessing a few aspects drove the decision: mathematics (a td still beats them) and the notion of being "aggressive." What is not considered is the cost of failure in terms of emotion. Over and over, I've watched the team that stops the 4th down get a huge lift. You give them a victory. I think it changed Georgia's mindset. I think it deflated Florida a little bit. "Analytics" and announcers and coaches seem to consider it a math problem. Does three points really matter against what we may gain? They don't see it as giving the other team an opportunity for a small victory that they would otherwise not have. They also don't know the value of three points until very late in the game. Had Florida made the field goal and their own defense held, a later field goal would make it a two-score game. If Georgia scored a td (as they did), Florida would only have trailed by one point instead of four had they kicked it instead of going for the first. Their path to victory would be far easier. For the emotional part, Florida had the momentum when the decision was made. They felt invincible. Georgia was down. That's the biggest thing, I think, you sacrifice when you go for it and fail. If you go for it and make the first, you still may be forced to kick a field goal. The Houston game a few years back is the perfect example of this. We were killing them. They were ready to lay down. Instead of kicking a field goal, we let them stop us and they roared back. At the time, I thought it was stupid. Unless you're way behind, always take the points. You don't know the value of the points, and you need not give the opportunity to the other team to get a win.

Their WR slung our DB to the ground out the back of the end zone and he got up and shoved him in the chest. Retaliation always gets flagged
November 2Nov 2 2 minutes ago, mwaadeeb said: I don't know what you're talking about, honestly. The pylon shot was through a distorted lens (yes, slightly offset) and not dispositive. The best shot was from the ref's POV and it was super-close (I still think it was a bad call, should have gone to the D). If it was over the plane, it would have touched the pylon. If it had touched the pylon, we would have seen it move in the overhead or seen the pylon cam image move. Since that didn’t happen, the ball was not over the portion of the plane in which the pylon existed. based on visual cues, the ball was never nearer the goal line plane than when it was near the pylon. So if it didn’t touch the pylon then, it couldn’t have compressed the plane previously in open space where a guess would have had to have been made. it’s ok to use middle school level science to mathematically prove it didn’t happen. instead we got…well there’s angles so we will just go with the on field call.

Watching the Pavia tackle on Filsaime, there was a big block in the back by Vanderbilt to event let it get to that point. At minimum should have been offsetting. Also just noticed the final kneel down of the game a Vandy player taking a cheap shot. I want to like the vanderbilt story, but some of their players are making it very difficult.

Yes, there were a lot of other ones he could have thrown in. Vandy has always been a low-key dirty team.

You don't know the value of the points, and you need not give the opportunity to the other team to get a win. I absolutely agree with you about the mental aspect, and yeah, that for sure defeated UF's mindset and lifted UGA. It sucks, but they're emotional games, for both players, and sadly, refs. I truly believe in ref bias. We saw it yesterday with Pavia pulling Filsaime down with him to make it look like he was being "roughed", but then the pylon bullshit and the no-call DPI that Moseley should have easily gotten truly, and I mean truly convinced me. Not to mention all of the holding that wasn't being called, and I literally saw their RT grab Burke and slam him on the ground on his stomach. Then, at the very minimum 5 times, Simmons was being clotheslined. All of the times our entire front were on the ground? Listen, I get football players are strong, but give me a fucking break. You aren't putting Brevard, Kanu, Shaw, January, Watson, Lavon Johnson, Sharma, Charles, Terry, Simmons, Burke, Jackson, and Vasek all on the ground. These mf'ers weigh over 300 lbs, and our edges weigh at the very minimum 240 (Simmons) and at most 285 (Justus Terry), or even Ant Hill who weighs 240, and Spence also weighs 240. I refuse to believe that shit. It took me back to the Okie Lite game in what, 2015 where we had some absurd number of ridiculous, ticky tacky calls, and OSU had zero throughout the entire game until like late in the 4th? Or when Strong got tossed for "bumping into the ref", even though it was blatantly obvious the ref did it to cause a scene? The game last night UF/UGA I saw some pretty ridiculous stuff called, but holy shit, nothing compared to the shit we got hosed on.

November 2Nov 2 48 minutes ago, Dahobbs said: No, it didn't. The closest the ball was at the pylon. It didn't touch the pylon, therefore it never crossed at anytime before that.

November 2Nov 2 On Vanderbilt's first possesion, 2nd play from scrimmage, Collin Simmons tackled RB Miles Capers and then as they were getting up Simmons dragged his junk across Capers' face, setting the tone for the rest of the game.

(1) no, he didn't, and (2) because I can watch the video and see the ball is always moving forward up until he falls out of bounds. Here is when he started to stretch: Ball still moving forward: Still moving forward and crossing in front of the pylon: You can see the same from the other angle, the ball keeps moving forward as he stretches right up until it crosses in front of the pylon. Here is the moment it starts to cross: And one moment later it has crossed and you can see it is ever so slightly closer, but still not past the pylon (which we know because it didn't touch it):

November 2Nov 2 The issue isnt whether or not the ball crossed the plane. The laces crossed upon further review, or at least I can buy that from the camera shit The real issue is that there was NO FUCKING WAY any ref could see that during the live play. Zero. Not without a microscope If it was called “no good” on the field, it would have probably stayed “no good” on review. The fact that that was called good live action during the play is nutsFirst thing I learned in referee school 30 years ago...If you didn't see it, you can't call it. No way he saw the ball break the plane even if he sensed it did (it didn't).

November 2Nov 2 The problem with the officiating is that the worst calls all resulted in points for Vandy or taken away from Texas. Obvious PI would have been at least a FG but likely a td. 2 pt conversion. Tackle our DE on Pavia’s run. This is at least 8 points and possibly 16 that Texas got fucked out of. This isn’t counting what might have happened without the “hit out of bounds” or the ridiculous false start. This level of ineptitude fucks with the integrity of the game.

This isn’t counting what might have happened without the “hit out of bounds” or the ridiculous false start. This level of ineptitude fucks with the integrity of the game. I've seen analytics that give the statistical correlation of penalties and points. The most consequential fouls are holds (drive-killer), PI (drive-extender), and personal fouls (15 yards and a first down is a lot of real estate). The 15-yarder against Filsame (for literally nothing) was a big drive-extender for them. The flagrant and uncalled PI in the end zone was highly likely to have cost us points that would have ended the game. The 2-pointer was... 2 points, and the difference between needing FG to tie or TD to win. The absurd "false start" when their lineman was well beyond the LOS would have meant 4th and 1 for us instead of 4th and 11. It may or may not have cost us points, but had we converted that fourth down, we run out the clock with a 2-score lead. I'm already seeing "Texas barely survived" stories, and when you're likely to be in a playoff logjam in 5 weeks, it's pretty shitty that we ended up with that narrative.
