dumbref,

as your name states, you really must be dumb to be an auburn fan.

Just kidding.

I am an LSU fan, and that play in addition to two other plays really concerned me. There was a play that Auburn stopped LSU on fourth down (it may very well have been the play right before the play you reference), but the play didn't actually happen because Auburn called time out prior to the ball being snapped. Well - Auburn had 12 men on the field - how in the hell did the BJ, SJ, [I]and[I] FJ miss that?

Also the seeming inconsistency with the two PI plays still have me confused. To me it's one way or the other - not both ways.

That game really was a hard fought game with two evenly matched teams, and I am in no way saying that the officiating swung the game in Auburn's favor, but I certainly think that officiating crew has some questions to answer.

Now in the Oklahoma/Oregon game - WOW. The replay official from that game should be removed from all future replay duties. Oklahoma lost the game because he - in the face of clear visual evidence - incorrectly ruled in Oregon's favor - not once, but twice on a game winning touchdown drive. Simply awful.

I guess I am a football purist - I am one of the few people I know that HATES instant replay of any kind. I think officials get calls right 99% of the time, and to interrupt a game for the 1% of the time where they are wrong is bad - and then to compound it by still getting it wrong after replaying it is atrocious.

Sorry all for the rant.

dumbref, good luck to your Tigers the rest of the way...
