How did A&M get membership in the REC?
Is a BJ all it takes (well, that and a lot of money)?

Shaw and Sankey are the worst.

The TE fumble was the worse call of the game and it was over if it had been looked at and ruled correctly.

That and the catch/fumble were the only two i thought were ridiculously bad

wow. twilight zone. that game was at least equal to the '06 auburn for worst officiated game i've ever seen in fb at any level

Let’s agree to disagree on the knee being down. What is lost is that if it’s called “correctly” in real time the clock continues to run, expires, and LSU wins. A&M is given a free play and the rest is history.

Alabama or not I used to have a lot of respect for him in an officiating capacity. No more.

Totally agree ! Ref's were paid off by Jimbo!

I agree with you but at best these were 50/50 calls that went against LSU. I am sure you could find ten more similar plays that were ruled the other way (which would have been LSU's advantage). The knee down was not conclusive and the catch/fumble was absolutely ridiculous. The issue in both of these plays is that they had to overturn the call on the field which means they had to have conclusive video evidence to do so.

That's why they have hired a private firm to look further into last season's officiating across the board.
Do you really think it's gonna change anything? Of course not. Steve Shaw will still be the Director of SEC officiating when the study is done and forgotten. I wouldn't be surprised if Coach O's multiple telephone conversations the day after the A&M debacle had a lot to do with this officiating "audit". But this precalibrated gesture of appeasement is a waste of time and money, and more importantly, it will buy the Bama homers a few more years.

Seriously, who would have expected anything different from Shaw. He would be criticizing and pointing the finger at himself.
There are crooked Judges, crooked attorneys, crooked police, crooked preachers, but never crooked referees.

Why aren’t place holders called down immediately on FG try’s? Knee down and a finger on the ball?

I've seen a play blown dead before a called fumble because they are supposed to check to see if the ball carrier was down.
I have never seen that before an interception. Even then, they dropped back the clock to the exact second and then let them line up... that's nuts.

That has been discussed ad nauseam since Les ran that fake FG. It’s a well documented exception to the rule.

Even if his knee was down, it’s a sack with no timeouts and the game is over.
It was a total screw job.

This. It doesn't matter if the knee was down or not. Either way, the refs screwed the call, and A&M benefited.

By the rule it was probably a correct call. But the possession rule on catches in the NFL and NCAA needs changing. Too many complete passes called incomplete.
I agree. When I was growing up that was a no-doubt-about-it catch and a fumble. But the question here was did the officials get it right. And the answer is: Yes.

Knee was down, clock should have run. Game over.
This is also true. Had the officials known his knee was down from the outset the clock would have run down a lot more than the ten second runoff and they would have lost. But, c'mon, can you blame the refs for not catching that?
