LaNorris Sellers makes even Jalen Milroe look like a guy that can read a defense. He was predicted to go near the top of the draft too. I wouldn’t want my team to draft him anywhere near the 1st round.

He was so close to earning a fine during that interview as he started to say “that was one of the…”. He stopped there and composed himself pretty well. Just once though I wish a coach wouldn’t hold back and call out these clown refs in the moment. It’s beyond time that officials should also have to face the media and defend there stupidity. If we require it of coaches and players, then refs should as well.

Auburn got hosed in the final 2 minutes and we all know that if it happened to Bama some of our TVs would be busted right now.


With that said, it appears that the Jordan-Hare voodoo has turned on the barn, which makes me happy.
I said almost this exact thing to my wife when he stopped himself.

NFL officials are professional officials. Thats their job, they mostly do quite well.

College officials are not professionals and their officiating job is a second job.

This needs to change sooner rather than later.
Can’t agree with this more. Additionally, the NCAA has done a terrible job in terms of putting these guys in a terrible position with rule changes the last 40 years that require more “judgement” type calls.

I consider myself pretty knowledgeable in terms of the rules of the game. Today, I don’t know what targeting, holding, DPI and OPI are because that “judgement” varies so much week to week and one crew of officials to the next.

In terms of the Auburn goal line play, I would like to see the stuff about “breaking the plane of the goal” stuff modified so the ball carrier must clearly have possession across the goal line. I’ve seen too many plays like the one we witnessed tonight where a player reaches across with one hand or extends it and then immediately loses possession. It makes me question whether or not they had full possession when they reached across.
