what kind of holy hell would the Conference of Unwanted Schools of America office be giving the SEC right now?

I think I'm still hoarse from cussing the TV Saturday for that very blown call.

A member in an official position sticking up for a referee's decision.

Seriously, your entire body has to be beyond the line of scrimmage for it to be an illegal pass. Lee's entire body is still BEHIND the line of scrimmage when he releases the ball. Veazey did a nice breakdown here. And Veazey broke down the very video that Bloom says he assumes would be the only video available for review. It's not even close. How you can defend that call is beyond me.

..that's not an official inquiry sine he has no affiliation with Mississpppi State. If Mullen wanted to inquire about it, it would be different, but he didn't..he commented on it and that should have been IT.

I'm not sure what the qualifications were for the SEC Football Coordinator of Officiating, but since Gerald Boudreaux is head of Men's basketball, they can't be too rigorous. Please view the following picture and explain exactly where the "lack of evidence" is. I understand that football is a "game of inches" but this pass was legal by at least 4 feet (that's 48 inches). If you still can't tell, please inform us ignorant fans of any recent rule changes that we are unaware or see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. images.yuku.com/image/bmp/9f236685165b9c22f40da1f894a30f137e484a88.bmp
BTW, if this SEC job falls through for you, the CUSA or WWF is always looking for refs with your vision and/or interpretation of the rules.

that even though there is video evidence that clearly suggests the wrong call was made, the video evidence would have supported the wrong call.

In other words, who do you think you are? Mark Richt?

without a doubt. At any rate, we'll never know if that call would have made a difference in the final score. I also remember Jackie saying that you always need to be good enough to beat the guys in the striped shirts..in other words, never allow them to make the difference in the final score.

the announcers would not stop talking about it. I guess the SEC is really saying ...nothing we can do about it now.
But to lay down like a ***** just don't cut it...like was said, grow a pair, and don't blow smoke up my ***.

if he thinks there isn't clear evidence on the video that the call was incorrect. As has been stated here over and over, the rules states that the QB's ENTIRE body must be over the LOS for it to be an illegal forward pass. This is simply a "hey its MSU who got screwed so we don't care" attitude. If this had been Alabama, Florida or some other SEC school you would have seen reprimands, suspensions and apologies. Does Charles Bloom really take us for idiots just because we are from Mississippi? That's the only way that I can see him being able to make the statement he made with a straight face.

he very clearly didn't cross the line, there is absolutely no doubt. It's just the officials either blew it or intentionally didn't call it. There are no other options. They were right about one thing - it wasn't close.

He's a good guy. It's not him saying there wasn't clear evidence, it was the coordinator of officials. Some of you need to work on your reading comprehension - how else can you expect to get a 24 on the reading portion of the ACT? No reason to call Charles names.

Now, you want to call Rogers Redding a giant *****, knock yourself out. I understand the referee culture where you protect ranks as much as you can but it is most certainly clear on the ESPNU replay that Lee was behind the LOS and to say that there wasn't proof is ludicrous.

He VERY CLEARLY did not cross the line. And considering we would have been on the four yard line, they couldn't stop us from running, and we lost by seven I would say it probably had a outcome on the game. Granted, there was a lot that could have happened after that but either way it would have made a difference. If you can't see that he was not past the line you are either blind, or you just haven't looked.

whatever, I just know that anyone who says there wasn't clear evidence on that play that the call was missed is just insulting everyone's intelligence. In fact, I would go so far to say that if you can't overturn a call with evidence as strong as there was on that play then the whole replay system should be done away with because its just a waste of everyone's time to have it.

"is he over the line?" Even my glasses-wearing *** could see that he wasn't. I think that this smacks of MSU-UHog circa 2004, when the zebra stood over the ball just long enough for us to lose the game. The SEC always gets too many teams into any postseason play; let the po' chilluns play, too.
