[bamafan4evr12]

I guess Nebraska and Wiscy fans not watching didn't really matter

 

[poewelch84]

It was a great game, I still don't understand Georgia's play calling on the drive before Alabama tied it.

 

[Wild Turkey]

I guess people don’t care that it’s rigged.

It was. Those that were mad that Alabama was in it missed a great game. Their loss.

What? You don't mean an offside call (that wasn't) that negate a blocked punt, refs looking right at a tackle and not seeing the face mask, or simultaneous face mask pulls (unless the offensive player is allowed).
They double check bang bang plays for minutia but can't check an offside call during the time out. And if you say they can't check replay for everything, then why check to see if 12 men were or were not on the field.
But, I have always believed that refs are human and can't and don't see everything, the face mask and the offensive face mask are examples. It is when they call things they did not see because what they called did not occur that I question the honesty. Probably the best example is that of refs in basketball anticipating fouls.

TLDR...But if it is negative against Alabama or Georgia then I endorse it.

Arkansas man accused of killing wife after she changed channel from football game

You know this guy was watching...he takes this shit seriously and doesn't muck around.

Tony Thomas, 58, of Carlisle, admitted to investigators that he fatally stabbed his wife, Elke, on Nov. 19 after she changed the television channel from football while he was taking a smoke break outside, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.

When Thomas went back inside, he asked his wife what the score of the game was, which reportedly led to a fight between the two. Thomas told police he then grabbed a knife and began stabbing her.

"He claimed he'd blacked out and when he 'came to,' he was over her with a knife in his hands," Lonoke County Sheriff's Detective Anthony Counts wrote in an affidavit.
