Nevermind if this has been posted.
@ 1:28 Saban is asked about the play where Elijah Herring tried to punch the ball out. Just my opinion but I think Saban is really in cahoots with the refs. Just acting 🤨 sus.

B.V.S IS real.

During replay? To the replay booth on that designated headset.

During the game? Only each other, allegedly. Mike Pereira went ballistic on some officials a couple years ago because they seemed to be communicating with someone not on the field during the game. He said they were talking to the replay booth when they weren't supposed to.

The headsets they wear are basically two way radios, not cell phones. No way for them to (directly) communicate with anyone outside the stadium.

Former VP of NFL officiating: SEC referees losing integrity, credibility

FOX Sports officiating analyst Mike Pereira had harsh words for an officiating practice he's noticed in two SEC games this season.

I think an official looked as if he was communicating with the replay booth -- which I have been given to understand always includes and SEC office official on the call. I saw this completely by accident. I wish you would look at it, @jave36. What I first noticed was that none of the other officials went to the head official to communicate about the penalty, at least on TV. Instead, they set up to play the down. One official even signaled first down at the 25-ish, I think putting the ball in play. None of the other officials approach him to say anything to the contrary.

Then one official behind the defense puts his hand to his ear as if someone had spoken to him. We walks, talking to someone on the radio and mostly listening. None of the officials on the field moved to stop the ball being put in play. This official on the radio walks right by the ball and then past our huddle and keeps walking toward the end zone, while in conversation with someone. Could that really be another official on the field? It seems like the booth or the non-officiating representative from the league office who is said to join all those calls.

I have to go right now, but I wish you would look at it. There are more things to note, but I imagine you will see them.

The review itself lasted about 2 seconds by my reckoning. I don't see how much was discussed. I wonder if the guy on the radio had made the call. I was simply looking to see if the officials were looking at Dee or Telander when they called the penalty: that's when I saw all this while looking for something completely different.

I think someone was in the announcers ear too when he all the sudden states that he saw it and starts describing what did NOT happen, as it is told now. But that's not this point.

Let me know what you think. I took a bunch of stills and was going to present this in a more orderly fashion, but like I said I have to leave on sudden business. If you think there is something, would you consider forwarding a question to the guy you mentioned who noticed it before and whom @VolGee4 linked iirc.

After Ole Miss game, the media, conference, and college football as a whole absolutely skull-drug us for throwing trash on the field, while crickets about everyone else doing it. Fact, not opinion.

This one still baffles me. You see this ALL THE TIME, yet the media acted like we were throwing live grenades on the field for that game. I saw it happen this year for LSU at Ole Miss. SEC's solution has been to not fix officiating whatsoever and to start serving alcohol at the games.

We’ve certainly won away from Neyland some and, as others point out, our road losses are not exactly inexcusable (SCar was bad but Williams-Brice is not a place we’ve won a lot in the last 15 years), but I’d still like to see some more wins in hostile places. LSU was a great one.

Kid? I like you, but sometimes when a fire is flaming and logs are thrown it, it’s best to let it die down…..OR, you do you kid.

Am I wrong though? What can even be done about it? Nothing. All that will happen if the admin says anything is the media will clown on us for being sore losers. That’s it.

Great find, Smokey. I was going to say listen for the whistles. @jave36

Yeah, no Bammer took any notice of what Telander barely did, the ball was already past him, and that was not the story at the time.

That whistle is very interesting. Our olayers honored it, as you will see in the game video. I think the Telander idea may have been a modification of an original fAlse flag blamed on Dee. The announcers immediately tried to overwrite what people saw with their own eyes with the official story and sell it hard. One of my themes I've been noticing. But it was the wrong or changed story. 😂

Anyway, go to the actual game and past that first whistle that Smokey calls our attention to. There are continuous whistles and the Bama guys keep hitting him. Finally after he is down, and Bama guys from the bench enter the field and are sort of surrounding him -- in the back of the picture you will see one of the Bama guys commit a massive personal foul (which would have moved the ball back to the 19 if the officials had not been, of course, no-calling all of this. The bammer not only strikes his head but actually sticks his hand underneath our guys facemask and is shoving his face, turning his head and twisting his neck with force. No-call!!! These things the officiating crew endorsed by silence really put student athletes in grave danger of injury! That assault must be after three or four whistles. It's a miracle that the SEC refs didn't cause a gigantic brawl there. I would have ejected the guy.

First photo is the official talking almost certainly to a league boss not on the field.(If jave concurs.) Watch in the game video how he seems to be the only one who knows the ball is to be moved. He moves from behind the defense to the 4. Milton has to figure out when ref marches by the huddle that something is happening.

The first of the other pics is long after the whistle. All of that was an uncalled foul. With whistles blowing all the while. Then look at the last photos -- after the first wave of fouls was finally stopped -- to see the dead ball assault under the face mask, as the Bama bench enters the field after numerous whistles to surround people. I suppose there should have been two or three separate fouls on Bama in that melee. The hand under the facemask and deliberately attacking the neck of a defenseless player is extremely dangerous to student athletes.

Crooked officials not only rigged the game, the Birmingham Office is putting student athletes in great unnecessary risk of injury with their no calls. It's unconscionable.
