that the coach is going to have to guide his players through. Blabla, I say eject thugs for good, make a point.
But you are likely looking at a 3 game suspension. The joke here in TN on the radio is, "Kiffen needs to go back
to the film room and work on fundamentals..."this is how you hold the gun. Speak up in a loud, clear voice, THIS
is a robbery. Everybody on the floor."
As for the confused look from Powersmoker, I have to clarify. LSU #1, no doubt or question. But LSU is
not always on TV, so when Bama is on, I pull for Bama UNLESS they are playing LSU. My Bama roots go
back to the early 70's, and that will not change. Cause in fact as a kid I was a Tulane fan and a Bama fan. Did not like LSU.
Where I am from you don't like LSU and Tulane, it's one or the other. I GREW into LSU fan-ness in the USAF.
As for Rizzle, that's an apples and oranges argument. When technology advances, everything
advances along with it. You are right, this would not have been a concern 20 years ago, but now we
have it, and a one-frame difference in video is that hair-thin margin that makes the difference.
Sure, replay drags everything down, and artificially arbitrates these fluid calls that we never had to
question before, just go on to the next snap and suck it up. But we ARE HERE NOW, and there is no getting around it.
And if you read a few pages back to the day of the "interception" you will see that I was all in favor of
just moving on, LSU loses, Bama advances, everybody gets what they wanted all along, Bama vs UF.
If a team loses cause of one bad call, they weren't positioned to win it anyway.
