🏈 league would not comment on the call

Why will they not comment on the call. This just makes it look even worse if you ask me. Everyone screaming cover up looks even more right.

I don't know, but my guess is they think they made the right call. So, why have to come out and say "we made the right call"?

I know they review all games after the fact. If an int would have been conclusive I think the conference would have said/done something.

I guess my point is they have commented on all the other calls in question.

Why are WE still talking about this? This is a topic for rival forums.

Ok.... I thought we could ask anything here. Feel free to delete it then.

There's the main issue.

In the past, when they've had issues like suspension of officiating crews, it wasn't done publicly. That was Slive's first mistake.

Commenting on the calls in games like the UGA vs LSU game should have been handled from the SEC office to the Ath. Director of each school. There's the second mistake.

As to not commenting on this one? They have had discussions with LSU. They haven't issued a public statement.

In all honesty, what good would it do? Anything you hear or read is only going to have more fuel added to its fire. And, if they did make a comment one way or another that reads as their third mistake in my book.

I don't know Terry. It could go either way to me. Right or wrong it could be a teaching moment where the SEC lets everyone know what it is that so many are missing (that is if the call was deemed correct). If they were wrong they go against a presedent already established, which does more harm than good IMO.

To me that silence implies that they believe the call to be correct. I'm waiting to hear rumors of officiating crew disciplinary actions. We know LSU won't commment ($30,000), so action against the zebras would be the only sign that something was not correct.

Teaching moment doesn't fit. They have review sessions weekly with all the crews looking at all the games.

Likely that's their thought process—not enough evidence to turn it over.

The only rumors about more disciplinary issues would be created by message forum members, then repeated enough to where it comes up on several forums. I don't see that happening.

Lets hope the players on Bama have a short memory for these things, unlike our fans.
