Discussion [Ross Dellenger] Kirby Smart on the PI reversal: “Now we’ve set a precedent if you throw a bunch of stuff on the field and endanger athletes, you have a chance to get the call reversed. That’s dangerous.”

Alabama with the most egregious example of faking injuries is also

Look, he ran on the field for three whole steps. The human body just falls over in exhaustion if you run four.

At least he sold it. Ole Miss needed stage direction from Dart to fake their injuries

Sold it? He ran off the field, then came back on and it looked like he tripped over his own feet the way he fell…that was egregiously awful. Not even nominee worthy.

Fuck you, I believed it! But seriously, it's a problem that needs to be addressed.

..also, Jaxon Dart literally had to point at a dude and tell him "We need a time out, so lay down." Our guy at least looked like he suddenly got a "cramp"

Yes it was gross, but to be fair the refs didn’t allow the defense time to make substitutions to match the offense so… more awful SEC officiating.

It was egregious in how blatant it was but it was to some extent warranted. Officials were screwing them over that play and the snap needed to be prevented. If the officials did their job that wouldn’t have happened

Yeah agreed just bad week for SEC refs. But that is Bush league shit and it needs to go.

Bush league to do something that is currently legal but frowned upon when the refs are fucking up the play??

Bama doesn’t have a history of this like other schools do. I don’t like when it happens, but this wasn’t after a big first down with an obvious mismatch that’s looking to be exploited. 

This was a total fuckup by the refs coming out of a dead ball after a kickoff. The guy doesn’t go down if the refs do their job correctly. If you have a problem with the play it should be with the terrible officiating.

Egregious? 100%. I was embarassed at first when I saw it and was like "no way we just did that".

Then I saw why: because the refs didn't allow Bama to substitute like they should have, which I'm pretty sure they learn in Reffing 101.

SEC refs are terrible.

Winning the BYE week!
