Link: Aubarn whines about "hideout" trick play to the SEC

[NoNC4Tubs]

Why would the crew be in "deep crap" over one blown call?

Why would referees scout teams they are officiating? They have full time jobs, and the rules are the rules, regardless of what one team may or may not do.

So true!

If true, then Autrey and his clown crew would have been booted years ago...

First it wasn’t just one blown call. There were at least two blatant DPI calls missed and a couple others that were at least questionable.

Second, if true that the OU staff discussed the “operation” of this play with the crew and were told it was “okay” then it shows they didn’t understand the deception rule themselves.

Finally, we have tens of millions of dollars now riding on the outcomes of these in terms of revenue driven from playoffs. Why wouldn’t you want the people officiating these games as well prepared as possible? And why is the guy that is middle age at least and 20 lbs overweight, spends 40 hours a week at X job officiating a game played by 18-22 years olds running 4.4 forty yard dashes? Far too many times bad calls get made or missed because the official was out of position. It is time for these games get officiated by crews whose FIRST job is that of an official.

I get missing the call if it’s one of those buried rules in the rulebook that rarely happens. The fact that they have made this a point of emphasis is what makes it egregious.

In my opinion, it was a win-win situation.

awbern lost AND the SEC Refs will be more aware of it in the future (and OUR game with those guys).

What's not to like about that?

The only way to get this type of bush league stuff out of the game is to administer immediate consequences to the HC and team after it happens. If what Freeze said postgame was right, and the coaches were told to get this stuff out of the playbooks and it would be a point of emphasis by the refs. Then Venebles and the Sooners should get a hefty fine and Venebles suspended for the next game.

I genuinely think every rule in football, and much of the rules in the world we live in now, is to prevent a mass riot. If that OU touchdown is ruled out, and ANY OTHER form of discipline happens in-game, things get ugly fast.

You know my disdain for all things Auburn. And certainly don’t mind hearing Aubies whine about officiating given some the crap Malzahn pulled in his tenure there.

But the officiating overall in their game with OU was horrendous. While Autry and his crew were consensus “worst crew in the SEC”, this clown troupe on Saturday said “Forget holding my beer. Hold my six pack and watch this”.

Will the amount of dollars rapidly increasing across the game which ride on the outcomes , the conference and the needs to do better.

I watched both games and our game against Uthug a few years ago was worse...

The refs this past weekend missed things, but in Knoxville those refs ignored things...

It's Aubarn. My "Give a Crap" meter is not even registering.

The Right Reverend Freeze also said “they saw it and tried to call time out”. Video of the Auburn sideline doesn’t indicate that to be true as there was an official within feet of him that most certainly would have heard him. He makes no movement towards the official to signal TO wiith his hands.
Not saying he is lying about being told to get that stuff out of the playbook. I’m just saying Hugh has given us more than few reasons to take what he says with “a grain of salt”.

I'll just take a moment here to point out that the guy that couldn't count five downs in the Colorado-Missouri game five years ago worked a regular job during the week.....as a math teacher.

The good reverend would never lie...would he?

When it rains, it pours down on the plains. Bruce Pearl just announce his immediate retirement! Not a surprised to anyone, this has been in the works for awhile, but the timing is odd since BB practice starts today. His son Steve as expected will be the new HC. the barn fans are in shock mode.
Some are speculating he is entering politics which has been the rumor for quite some time.

I can't believe I'm even going to say this.....but Auburn should have won that game.

That fumble return that was called an incompletion.....I thought that was a catch and a fumble for sure.

And then that OU TD with the guy looking like he was running off the field.....that's a 14 point swing.

That crew though....at least the SEC called them out for missing that call on OU's TD.

See and with gambling so ubiquitous, you HAVE to have better reffing. OTW, someone is going to get murdered.
