GT at uGA Post Game

Let’s add up the number of bad calls against each time and call it a game.

I still know who should have won and will never get over it.

I watched an enlarged slow motion replay of the hit. Made me angry all over again that the announcers established the narrative of the tackler’s helmet hitting the ball. That’s only true if King had been carrying the ball under his chin. No, the hit was high chest area / bottom of face mask. I actually saw no evidence the ball was hit. If it was hit, it was secondary and glancing. The slow motion is horrifying. You see King’s head snap and his whole body quiver. All his limbs go limp for a second before he falls to the ground.

The launch using the crown was textbook targeting. But we will never know why it wasn’t called because there was no review and thus no official explanation.

It was like everybody was so excited about Georgia recovering a fumble nothing else mattered.

I would make two changes immediately. No, it’s not enough, but it’s a start to at least get the game flowing at that point. Just get it over with. I’ll have to think about other options but these are my first 2 small changes.

• Once you get to the third OT no more switching sides
• Once you get to the third OT you get no timeouts. None. If you had one unused from that you got at the beginning of OT then tough luck. You don’t get to keep it beyond the second OT

Clearly there are stadiums set up with the home team having a “sound” advantage with cheering. The visiting team deserves a shot to not have to play on that end of the stadium,

Here's one:

Might be targeting and might not be targeting. That view is inclusive unfortunately. And per CBK the officials told him the play was reviewed unlike what the voices in the video claim. The review is important as it is easy to see why on field officials did not call targeting. King is in the middle of a group of OL and DL players. Really sucks he fumbled the ball. CBK also said he was told the "tipped pass" on the PI play was reviewed. The Tech defender did have his left arm around the receiver and did turn the receiver's body a small amount before the ball arrived.

Would have been nice if one of those plays went our way. They were both close judgement calls.

The Grand Conspiracies are really better suited for the CFP rankings where it is in plain sight.

Found it on my smart TV. Haven’t looked for it on portable devices.

Maybe.

It’s YouTube. Title is “Tech Robbed.” It’s 1:05 minutes long. On IPhone you can see King’s head snap. On a big screen TV you can see the shock wave go through his whole body. Zero video evidence that the helmet hit the ball.

You are absolutely correct. And at that point they should just leave it in the "away" end. Of course I'm biased so maybe that's just that part of me talking HAH HAH.

That’s the video I saw. Textbook targeting. First thing the tackler’s helmet hits is the chin / neck area of King. Head whip-lashes, body momentarily goes limp. One of the most brutal targeting plays I’ve seen since the targeting rule has been in place.

Side note is I was watching a little of the uga Texas game and I had to turn it off because I saw several attempts by uga to tackle using the crown of the helmet. Luckily they missed but who taught them to tackle like this? That’s technique from my high school days! I guess they’ve learned that dirty play pays off.

Just a dirty football team. Whatever bad happens to them, they deserve.

So I had a brief convo with a dwag at PT this AM. In response to a comment that Ole Miss had beat the crap out of UGAg, I asserted that Tech had, too.

The dwag said wtte: that’s not what the scoreboard said. To which I stated they need to give a Christmas gift to the ref.

He asked if I was talking about the fumble (he knew immediately what play I was referring to). His response was, “Not targeting. He was a RB at that time and was not defenseless.”

I replied that the rule doesn’t require him to be defenseless, which he contended with. I finally told him just to google and read the rule, it’s right there in black and white.

He finished his PT and walked off. It was respectful, but he knew they got a gift. Somehow that strangely felt good. Ha!
