If Kelly filed a complaint surely Beamer has filed one

[PrestonyteParrot]

Has the SEC agreed to a review and clarification of the official's excessive involvement in the outcome of this game?

Blaming someone else for things you are doing is a very familiar sounding tactic in use in today's world.

 

[Lurker123]

HasbKelly actually filed a complaint?

The article I read had him applying the field goal rule to the punt, and I'm not sure that is even correct.

 

[18IsTheMan]

I wouldn't bother. What's the point?

MOST of the time the league is going to stand by the refs. Best case scenario, they admit the refs blew a bad call and then we just feel worse.

Has a ref ever been fined, disciplined, dismissed over a complaint that was filed?

Good point but acknowledgement is worth something.

Exactly,
and you can expect the following:
"We hold our referees to the highest standards, and we understand how our fans who are so passionate, will sometimes disagree with some calls, but we will continue to monitor the situation on a game by games basis to ensure the highest standard that our fans deserve". Or words to that effect.

The whole thing is a deflection to mask crappy coaching. Get the fans whipped up so they don't recognize that the coaches blew it.

In this game…I disagree. “Almost all“ who watched the game…except LSU fans…feel the refereeing was crappy and “possibly” affected the outcome.

Won't it be hilarious when the SEC office releases a statement on the officiating and the only call they say was botched was the blocked punt.

I would expect nothing less.

 

[18IsTheMan]

Beamer said he heard back from the league office regarding his inquiry on several penalties and said from the feedback he got, they would just have to agree to disagree.

This is why these things are a waste of time. Very, very, very rarely do they come back and say "we screwed up".

Unless you have an unbiased 3rd party reviewing these things, it's a complete waste of time. The league simply doesn't care.

 

[Gamecock Jacque]

Apparently the league got the result they wanted.

Schools should push for independent oversight of refereeing.

Even Kirby was talking about some of the wild refereeing from the weekend in other games he saw (I think the implication from his statement was our game). Pitt coach Narduzzi was fined after ripping the refs in a game they won. It's been a problem across college football this season.

There is apparently no motivation for leagues to fix the problem on their own.

They've learned from the government alphabet agencies.

Beamer said he got feedback from the league on Monday evening.
Has any of that been made public?

What I've seen publicly is along the lines of we agree to disagree.

Everyone has made a mistake. Everyone has dropped a ball at some time.

However, the most blatant, non-explainable, blown call that I have personally ever witnessed was Michigan's First Down against us in our bowl game against them.

Jadeveon Clowney demonstrated the proper method of handling those situations. You simply take the mistake out of the game by knocking the opponent's head off and physically taking the ball away. You don't file petitions or whine on a chat board for days.

Nah, and it won't be. Based on Beamer's explanation, though, they basically told him to pound sand.

Obviously you never saw the the 5th down, Colorado vs Missouri .
There is nothing that even comes close.

This is why I hate instant replay, or at least one of many reasons.

Bad/questionable/debatable/outright wrong calls were part of the fabric of the game that fans bickered about for ages. Our fans still gripe about the push-off game with Clemson.

I, for one, could live with the human element. But, now we have to "get it right"....except for crucial, game-deciding penalties. We're ok with not needing to get those right.

I remember that. If I recall, the refs told Colorado it was 3rd down, so they spiked it. But it was actually 4th.

Was that the year that Colorado shared the natty with GT?

I thought Nebraska was involved in that game. My memory...
