GA High school blown call... how does this happen?

[MonkeyDoughnut 10226]

 

[closetojumping 62507]

Yeah, that had to be a fix. 

[Getafix 28543]

 

Here's how it happens:

1. Employ Big 12 refs

2. Profit

 

 

[hookem48 4687]

I don't think the ref knew who had the ball, seems he was looking at # 8.

Georgia. Fix.  Insert Trump joke here.  Both sides.

I personally don't give a shit about Georgia high school football results but to each their own. 

Of course that's a terrible call. There are probably 50 worse calls made every week around the country at that level.

I’d be pretty surprised if there were 50 worse calls this season than one calling a TD when the runner is stoned at the one yard line, costing a team a state title. 

[Kwix 2186]

To be fair, it was on 3rd down. They would have gotten another down if the play was called correctly.

I'm not talking about the context of the call I'm saying on the level high school refs make horrible calls all the time. 

This was Georgia 3A, btw. There is also 4A, 5A, 6A and 7A.

Obviously we can all agree that school got hosed. I'm just saying shit like this happens all the time. Especially in fairly unpublicized games like this.

I didn’t think anyone was arguing that it never happens, rather that this one was so obviously, egregiously wrong.

Hell, there’s not even the “well, everyone holds” or “PI like that gets called/doesn’t get called all the time “ kind of argument. Even the team that won knows they didn’t really win.

Seems likely they would have kicked a field goal and there would have been overtime. Either way, that's not a "to be fair" situation.

OP phrased the thread as "how does this happen?"

What I'm saying is that this happens all the fucking time. And in this particular instance I don't give a shit.

Can you point to another time a guy clearly was tackled with the ball at the one and was awarded a TD?

Not, “maybe he broke the plane” or “maybe it went over the pylon” or “maybe his forward progress hadn’t been stopped” or “maybe something.”

Bad calls happen all the time. This doesn’t.

To be fair was in response to the implication the other team wins if the play is called correctly.

Which play(s) would you say were so completely wrong as this one, which has an objectively verifiable criterion?

My apologies. Perhaps I haven't made this clear for you. 

I don't give a flying fuck what happens in some 3A high school game in a state that I've never been to let alone lived in. 

Who the fuck gives a shit. 

If you're so impassioned maybe you can go start a facebook-mom advocacy campaign.

Stop being an idiot. The thread topic was clearly indicated by the title so nobody gives a shit that you don't give a shit.

Your lack of interest in the topic definitely shows in the way you keep coming back to a post with a clear title and clearer content.

Sure.  Fumble by ou on (I believe?) their first drive against us this year that was called incorrectly and not reviewed.

Want another?

Safety that wasn't vs Alabama.

Didn't require any research, just thinking for about 5 seconds about our games this year.

Holding that wasn't  called vs Bama

Facemask that wasn't called vs Bama

PI that wasn't called vs Bama

Holding that wasn't called vs TCU

[Bill Lumbergh 7171]

By the way, I'm on the "side" that this was an unjustifiable fuck up by the GA high school crew.  Not arguing that.

I'm just also on the side that big 12 refs are, whether intentionally or due to negligence, among the worst anywhere year in and year out.

The closest one that comes to mind is the PF on Strong versus Oklahoma State in 2015, but even PF is very discretionary.

[Huckleberry 32839]

One of the missed calls by a Big 12 crew that comes closest to this one was the Oklahoma vs. Oregon onside kick where there was no clear recovery during action, Oklahoma clearly came out of the pile with the ball, and they awarded possession to Oregon.

Of course in that case I smiled.

That’s a good one. They’re so bad they’re in 5th Down territory. 
 

Edit: Not Big 12, but the non-call on the PI where the Saint got blown up way early against the Rams. PI has a lot of subjectivity, but that was objectively wrong. 

Edited December 11, 2022 by Doc Daneeka

[Huckleberry 32839]

Yeah I went back and watched it and had forgotten that Oregon clearly touched it before it went 10 yards also. I mean there was no way it was Oregon's ball but they did what I would have done if I was in charge of that game. Fuck Oklahoma.

The reason I remember this one so clearly is, as a Texas fan, I always wondered if there is any level of pure, objective screw job that could actually make me feel some slight level pity for ou.

That day definitively confirmed: there is not.

You can go back to our game vs Baylor and look at the spots.  The PF on Strong.  The multiple helmet hits against Sam that we never called.

I think it is this, but that's a pretty egregious miss still.

Sandy Creek should forfeit, imo.

Texas @ Baylor

Grant Taeff’s final game.

Baylor 4th and long trailing with under 2:00 to play

Pass to TE (or FB?) downfield bang-bang Winifred Tubbs destroys receiver as he catches(?) the ball, UT recovers

Only two possible results: Complete pass + fumble recovery; or incomplete pass on 4th down.

After 5 minute discussion? The call: Complete pass….forward progress stopped before ball came loose. Baylor ball. First down.

Worst call in the history of worst calls. I hope those refs involved are dead.

Not Big 12 but, yes, that game was fixed. Period. That that’s the level of comparison pretty much puts to bed that this is just the typical kind of incompetent call. 
 

If you wanted to throw in another fixed game, the bonfire game would also work.

I absolutely lost my shit when that happened.  If I had been the coach, my assistants would have had to hold me back.
