Just saying.
What did the Florida interim coach think?
It is what it is. If you ever told me that officiating would start going Georgia’s way, ever, I’d have called you a damned liar. Let’s also not forget that we’re only a year removed from this:
Let’s all put the (water) bottle down and start thinking clearly, please?
Between Tyler Simmons and Isaiah Bond, Kirby Smart could be that much closer to Saban-level Natties. Cry harder, people. You won’t get any sympathy from this side of the fence.
Ever.
I’m happy to see some of these calls going our way. They’re not ALL going our way, despite what many of our rival fanbases want to claim.
That being said, I sure would love to see one of our games… or hell, practically any CFB game of meaning this season… that doesn’t have any controversial officiating or replays. It seems like every single week there’s some supposedly crucial play that is borderline and the refs end up being center friggin’ stage. Maybe it’s time we go back to low-def cameras and no replays on TV or the in-stadium screens and just let them boys play ball.
I happened to peak in on an acc game and they broadcast the review discussion on tv.
That would be nice.
The crimson tinged fellas in the home office in Birmingham, AL disagree.
Derek, you clearly haven’t been paying attention to the Gator and Auburn fans. Those fellas in B’ham now wear red and black, not crimson.
Lol, Kirby learned from the master and all our NIL monies go to the SEC Refs.
We know in life that if we REALLY believe in our side we will view facts to be consistent with our side. That is what was so irritating about Joe Tessatore’s loud, breathless, “IT HIT HIS HANDS!!!!!!!! IT HIT HIS HANDS!!!!!” bullshit. It gave Gators a reason to disbelieve what they saw.
These days if it’s an afternoon game Im watching innthe deer stand and obviously have it muted so thankfully I missed Tessitore’s impassioned bleating about this. I loathe that guy. I was indifferent to him mostly before last season. He was just D list announcer. Last season against Mississippi State he said these words, “I know you Georgia fans are thinking about your BIG PRIME TIME MATCHUP WITH TEXAS next week. It what you had BETTER be thinking about is playing THESE MISSISSIPPI STATE BULLDOGS IN STARKVILLE next year.” It was weird and awkward as hell. He seems like he has Asperger or something.
The way he has showed his ass since has made me grow to despise him. He tries to be the star of the show and tries to make everything life and death. And he clearly has a hardon about Georgia for some reason. Jordan Rogers seems like a member of a boy band or something. He has a future as a contestant on Dancing With The Stars. They are a match made in hell.
It would be nice if commentary teams took a just the facts approach and didn’t try to be come stars and part of the game. It’s watching it muted onnthe phone innthe deerstand or the sky cast version at the house when possible for me. The commentators make watching less enjoyable. When done right you barely notice them. Nessler and Blacklesge weee my favorite pairing ever. Those days are long gone.
As I mentioned on one of the threads yesterday, in real time at the stadium, it was obviously incomplete; it looked terribly underthrown, the side judge immediately signaled incomplete, and on the in-stadium videoboard, they had a camera angle from the south end zone looking directly “into” the receiver (not shown on that ABC clip), that clearly showed it skipped off the ground.
Not to mention of course, the laws of physics would not have allowed the receiver’s *forearms* to make a catch like that without help from the ground – a ball coming down that hard and hitting his forearms which were laying on/just above a hard surface, would have broken said forearms if they had actually absorbed *all* the impact from an object hurtling towards them like that….
Dude, no. The in-stadium south end zone view showed his forearm underneath the ball.
Also, I am actually laughing out loud at the claim a football moon ball pass will break your forearm when it lands.
It was a catch. Let’s be adults about this.
Gators coach said after the game it wasn’t a catch.
That what he should have said, in a presser, with reporters, looking for a controversial sound bite.
Doesn’t mean he has better intel than what we saw on the video board and in all the replays.
I agree with you when they showed it in Everbark it showed it hitting the ground.
FTMF’s.
That is all.
SHUT UP, TESS
What seems to be lost in this is why the fuck was he behind our dbs in the fitst place? Do you fucking job guys. You might have been in place for a pick.
Jacory may not be in good position, but he sure is slow.
One more thing. This team makes me stress eat!!! Stress eat people!!! That’s not good!
So…not a catch??

Different rules?
I would have thought you could have one hand on the ground and snatch it with the other and that be a catch…
First I am hearing of this…
My take was that whatever the ruling on the field was would stand. It wasn’t definitive to me either way.
If the rule is as stated, it shouldn’t have required a review. Obviously both elbows were down.
Yeah, I’m with you. If they had called it a catch on the field, it wouldn’t have been overturned. It was too close to call either way.
The AI generated comment in the tweet is not correct. You can be laying flat on the ground and catch the ball and as long as it doesn’t hit the ground first, it’s a catch.
It’s a shame that the TV didn’t show the frontal view that more clearly shows the ball hit the turf first. How is it that that the in game jumbotron can show something that the TV cannot?
I thought it hit the ground live but the tv replays scared me. Thank God for “indisputable.”
Not surprised that AI screwed the rule up. Sure didn’t seem right.
It was never a catch in any way shape or form. Amazed that this is even a thing, tbh.
Hell, I hope the SEC office once again claims there was an officiating error and reprimands the officials and replay crew…on Gunner’s hand clapping. Not sure which is tastier, gator or tiger tears. Both taste like chicken.
I can’t believe how many Georgia fans think it was so hard to tell and truly aren’t sure if it was a catch or not. It very clearly was not a catch. I don’t know how anybody can not see that.
The tv angles I saw you could never see it hit the ground definitively. It looked like it might (or might not) have stayed on top of his arms.
But there was no way to say for certain that the ball didn’t touch grass.
To me, whatever the stripes called live was going to be the call.
Lagway did fumble btw. That one I could see.
Weird. I saw a shot that was a reverse angle and it was clear that it wasn’t even close. I’m glad it frosted Tessitore’s ass along with jorts nation. FTMF.
There was no definitive angle shown on TV that showed the ball touching the ground during the process of the catch.
Bullshit
The side angle that caused Tessatore to declare “IT HIT HIS HANDS” showed the ball coming down above Stuvident’s wrists and in the area of his forearms. The still shot that excited the Gator partisans into thinking he caught it with his forearms also showed half of the ball above his forearms. If he caught it with his forearms the entire ball would have been sitting on top of his forearms.
AI will tell you what you want to hear. But video evidence definitely did not prove that the ball didn’t touch the ground, and there was too much space between his arms for it not to.
Exactly
No doubt in my eyes and mind the ball hit the ground (from 2 definitive camera angles). Am I a biased Dawg fan? Yes, but even that small “objective zone” in my brain, still agrees, “No Doubt, Incomplete”. Having said that I am shocked that Georgia is getting some favorable calls in 50-50 situations! Sure wish it had been that way in several of the last Alabama games vs us.
Have you MF’s seen the same video I have seen, the ball hit the “freaking” ground, It wasn’t close. I saw it bounce.
