Let’s talk about the Reversed Call in the Texas-UGA game

[denver]

Throw a flag, give the opposing team three points, eject the head coach.

Final offer.

So the SEC doubles down…I guess the officials are not the only clown crew. Sankey and the SEC Office says “Hold my beer…”

Kirby Smart calls out ‘precedent’ set by SEC officials, Texas fans for ‘endangering athletes’ (msn.com)

Further, Smart offered some preliminary clarification as to what happened. Officials originally announced the penalty to the stadium as defensive pass interference. Smart said that head official Matt Loeffler explained that the penalty was miscalled or announced and was actually supposed to be offensive pass interference.

IF this is true, then the refs had to make the reversal and the tantrum had nothing to do with it. (Didn't mention why the ruling wasn't change to offensive pass interference but that wouldn't have mattered.) Sounds a bit shaky.

I don't know the answer to control the crowd either; they are fans and not the team. If they could identify the culprits, they should haul them to jail.

One problem, the officials WAITED until after the crowd threw the tantrum to reverse the call. The huddle and discussion must take place immediately after the call. The proper procedure is, if the call is to be discussed, huddle before you announce it. If it was incorrect, announce they was no foul on the play and pick up the flag.

In this case, they announced it, the crowd reacted, then waited several minutes to huddle to reverse the call.

I’m just having a hard time believing that. Because it took over 5 minutes to make that correction and the refs have mics and earpieces. There was also a considerable amount of time elapse between the call and the first beer bottle flying. This seems more of a way to get around the truth of “we watched the review on the board and got scared”

And if Matt Loeffler was standing in front of me right now I’d call “BS” to his face that the decision to reverse that call was not influenced by the crowd reaction and the replays in the stadium.

The tantrum started right when the "incorrect call" was announced. It could be that the referee who realized the head official misunderstood the call got back with him immediately and they had to clarify it again; tantrum or no tantrum.

Either way, the optics are bad and the precedent is in play. Can't wait till next weekend's games to see what takes place; I just hope it is not in Tuscaloosa.

Loeffler is playing CYA as is the SEC Office.

it’s a much longer throw for those in BDS to make the field with any litter.

This is how bad officiating has gotten. Not once, not twice, but at least THREE times the former official adding perspective on the broadcast disagreed with the call/non call in the game, TWO of which could have directly influenced the outcome. ONE - the illegal substitution- stated the call was wrong, officials didn’t follow proper function and Bama’s defense must be allowed to match up. TWO - the obvious hold/grab of Williams on throw to end zone that was missed. Absolutely was DPI. We settled for a FG. THREE - the unsportsmanlike penalty on Law that put us in 4th and 22. It was obvious that the UT player was in Law’s face taunting him, whin IS a penalty. It should have been offsetting at the least. 4th and 7 is more manageable than 4th and 22. Yeah, Law has to know better, but the “baiting” has to be called as well.

We deserve a lot better across college football.

Texas has ruined 2 conferences before. It is only a matter of time.

I really don’t want them in our conference for this very reason

 

[bamacpa]

I hate it when Kirby is right but....

 

[theballguy]

I think it should be reviewable. There are too many non calls and bad calls

We really need less reviews and better coping skills.

One day soon this will happen:
Questionable call
Home team player fakes injury to stop play.
Reply shown on jumbotron.
Fans throw trash on field.
# killref trends sharply.
Home office text head official " REVERSE CALL"
Fans Pat themselves on back for job well done.
Announcer remarks "that's home field advantage"

And this will be the new norm

SEC, it just means more

SEC Announces Harsh Penalty for Texas Following Trash-Throwing Incident (msn.com)

The Longhorns will have to pay a $250,00 fine and "use all available resources, including security, stadium and television video, to identify individuals who threw objects onto the playing field or at the opposing team." Any individuals found to have participated will be banned from Texas athletic events for the rest of the year, per the SEC.

I don't think this will put a stop to it.

Me and a buddy have discussed this several times. I never wanted UTx for this reason.

Probably not but it is a solid attempt. Find a few hundred of those fans who threw things and give them a lifetime ban. Can't hurt.
