~25 seconds to call a TD?

Bama deserved the win. Not arguing that in any way.
Also, the TD in question was definitely a TD. Not arguing that at all.

You tell me, though... How does it take ~25 seconds to confer and call a TD? Seriously.

Both line judges ran up and seemed to mark the ball short... so how does it go from THAT to calling it a TD ~25 seconds later?

Obviously it's ESPN bias and muffic baskets at play here.

They were trolling you.

Joe Naimath woulda started drinking again if they'd called him short.

Maybe the 2 line judges werent sure and had to compare what they saw from their angles and make a decision??

Both weren't sure enough that they both marked it short? And then it took 25 seconds to confer, what, memories? Ever seen that happen before EVER... 25 seconds to confer and call at TD from memory conference?

My guess is they planned on waiting for replay to make the final decision and just wanted to figure out what the initial call should be.

So they probably thought it was in, but weren't 100% sure. Wasn't exactly an easy one to call and it was a big game and a play with significant meaning.

If you think you see the guy get in, then you should call a TD. That's pretty basic bitch shit right there.

I don't know, I'm merely guessing and putting forth what I think is the most logical answer.

I know. It leaves us all guessing... because it's some pretty EXTRA-ORDINARY shit right there. I, myself, have NEVER seen that happen.
