It sounds like it was a 50/50 judgment on whether to lay off the officials to save the TO or to go all in if you feel like you hopes were dashed anyway.

Doesnt matter one bit to me. But from this angle, the two players closest from this camera view were off sides and the ref was right there. Unless their feet are what needs to cross the line,they were over the line with head, shoulders and almost a knee before the kicker kicked the ball. Hate it for the players, but it was what it was. Review would have come back as confirmed with not enough evidence to overturn the call probably.

After watching the video I think the players were offsides.

- Was it a bad call? Certainly...gotta wonder, was it an SEC crew, by chance?

- Was calling a timeout at the juncture that Lyle called it also a bad call? Yup. But the chart wants what the chart wants, apparently.

- Years after that steaming pile was scraped off the bottom of the program's shoe, is the schadenfreude of seeing that goofy charlatan fall on his face and lose his sh*t still heartwarming? Hell yes it is.

They sure looked early on the revese angle replay. If you slow it down, their bodies are clearly across the line when the ball is kicked. I'm still not clear, though, on whether they are looking at the feet or the body. If it's the feet, then it's really, really close. This same thing happened to us at the end of a game a few years ago - recovering an onside kick but got called offsides and it was less obvious than this one.

Offside on a kick is the same as offside on any other play, no part of the body can be over the line.

Think it was about 10 years ago Tennessee had a successful onside kick overturned on replay against Mizzou when a part of a Tennessee players hand crossed the line a fraction of a second before the ball was kicked.

Ah yes, Purple Grimace still doing Purple Grimace things.

As others have said, the fact he pulled that stunt with Bama less than a year after destroying this team and the fact he rode out his buyout period without trying to get gainful employment - cant muster anything positive about the guy at all. Hope he fails at everything.
