Replay in Auburn game

The SEC boasts of the best football in America but it consistently has some of the worse officiating. The officials called the Fannin fumble a TD then the replay official does n't have enough sense or enough courage to overturn the call. Auburn and the officials an unbeatable team. Now Mallet is hurt, Auburn gets all the breaks. But the Officials are pitiful. There is no excuse in the era of replay to miss calls like this.

Totally agree...
Hopefully the Hawgs can pull things together and get the win, and make the bad call a moot point.

While I won't reduce the entire game to a few calls, these were big.
Though the whole “Auburn gets the favoritism” line is irrelevant, what was clear was some level of incompetence and/or lack of guts to overturn a poor call. If they won’t overturn a close call that was incorrect, what’s the point of replay? That bad fumble call DID determine the direction of the game and could have very well changed the outcome. However, if a team gives up 40+, they should be more concerned with their own poor performance. There were multiple opportunities for them to determine the game on the field and they didn’t so I’m not so sympathetic.
By the looks of things, I'm pretty sure God doesn't care how you do in sports.
If we’re going to be fair to the officials: we have no idea what camera angles the replay booth even had available to them.
I'm wrong all the time.

Sure we do.
Directly after any given sports announcers favorite line of “every play in CFB is reviewed” is their second favorite line: “The replay officials have exactly the same camera angles we are showing you right now.” If we could see it on our TVs, they could too, at least according to the talking heads on any given Saturday. That said, there’s no use complaining about it now (unless one is a fan of a team involved). Hopefully if Auburn makes it undefeated to the end of the year, we can smash any dreams that have of winning it all.

with a healthy D at 100%
I see good things happening that day; but if we are still limping around—especially the D line like last night—CAM, not Auburn, will beat us.
Oh yea, and G Mac better get his head right…he has done great things before and is greatly appreciated for it. However, CFB will always be a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately sport and the critisism is now raining down, however unfair it may seem. It kinda reminds me of last year at this point with him. The thing that is different though is he had a vaunted defense to bail him out and all he had to do is not screw up more ( hince the game manager meme ). Not this year. Now he has to become the game changer and play more like SECCG ’09 and not Tennessee ’09. The offense needs a new wrinkle with a dash of inspiration.

Which one? This game reminded me of the 06 LSU/au game

Defense Coordinators
for both of these teams should be ashamed. You are not a total team if your defense gives up 40+ points in a game. That is simply rediculous. For most of the game it appeared as if the last team to score would win. Again, the DC for both of the teams gave the SEC’s reputation for having tough defensive units a bad name. Miss State shutting Floriday down and holding to just 7 points…now that is defense. I am sure the Cam Newton for Heisman train will overshadow their Defensive struggles…yet again.
Neither team has a defense to speak of.
Arkansas was snakebit from the get-go in Aubarn..a couple of bad calls, a free 6 points(they would’ve scored anyway) and some of the shittiest pass defense I’ve ever seen from both squads. What did we learn? Without Newton, Aubarn is pathetic. Their defense against the pass is non-existent when they blitz, and aside from “Laptop”, they have no running game. They may be tested by LSU, depending on whether or not LSUs defense makes the trip to the stadium.

I completely understand what you're saying-
but it really doesn’t matter if AU’s pathetic without Newton. Unless he gets hurt or arrested, they won’t be without Newton, so it really doesn’t matter what they would be without him.
I do know that our QB needs to step it up know matter who the qb for the other team is.

To add more to your comment...
…it also doesn’t matter if their defense is pathetic if they can score at will. It’ll be interesting to see their game against LSU.

That's the insane beauty of it --
CAM-AU’s defense only needs to make about 1 stop per game. So far, that’s enough.
Probably whinning a little
I’ll admit I might have been whinning a little and the Auburn getting all the breaks thing was not good, but it is pathetic to see the REPLAY offical miss those calls. I believe both fumbles were missed calls. How can the REPLAY offical miss those calls when he has the view we have. Anyway I think it is pitiful that the SEC has such poor officiating when the teams play at the level they do.

SEC officiating has been an embarassment ot major college football for the better part of 15 or 20 years.
No reason to expect the guys that used to routinely affect the outcomes of games on the field to be any better sitting in the booth.
Total Incompetence, and not just in this game.
