allegedly Ole Miss was matching the dollar amount.

LSU is simply a better job long term than Ole Miss.

can’t wait for that game in Oxford next season.

3 years in the “Saban coaching rehab clinic”
and an additional 9 seasons of HC experience.

Change the rule if you want, it’s the only rule that favors the defense.

I'm still laughing the the fake theatrics of guarding the M. The "poor us everyone else does bad and we only do good" culture up there is the biggest joke. Literally nobody buys it anymore except them but that's not stopping them from continuing to look like complete fools.

Remember when the sign-stealing thing was relatively new to the news, and the cheaters had some undergrad nerds, or grad assistants, or someone watching the camera that flies over the field? And they'd hold up signs to block it from seeing what was going on in the huddles during timeouts? That's what this reminds me of. Yeah, we're cheating by sending people to your games to steal your signals, and record them, and I'm sure we're using fancy computer shit to help us figure out the signals. But we're going to show that we can't be victims by blocking you from seeing our huddles during timeouts.

Yeah, that's cool and all. But what I like is that Day took his biker gang into Moore's high school party, and told Moore to get his friends out so his biker gang could drink the rest of the beer.

That loser still mad he drove his delusional carcass to Columbus to get routed in the playoffs! "SEC, SEC, SEC, SEC, SEC!!!"

Poor Rhode Island. Not only do they have to fly across the country, they have to play after bedtime.

Lost to a team that finished 13th in a conference that has a 7-5 team in its title game. If they weren't an SEC team they'd for sure be out if they lose the title game, instead they are more than likely in regardless.

Yep. 1-loss BYU is likely out if they lose to #4 Texas Tech, but 2-loss Bama will likely be in if they lose to #3 Georgia.

This play has me worked up.
This reminds me of instant replay in baseball. Well, in all sports, but baseball, especially. And I'm not really a baseball fan. Not really. But before instant replay, there was no whining about a runner stealing second, and then... did his hand slide off the base a couple of milliseconds before his body hit the base? Whoa! He's out for those 10 thousandths of a second. Eff that. Imagine Cris Carter running into the endzone like that - does anyone even question it? No, because there's no replay.
I like replay and I want to make sure the final call is the correct one. Was it a catch or not? Did the ball go over the line or not? Did the ball carrier's knee hit the ground or not? Get the right call.
But more than that, in Buckeneye's words, "We know what a clear fumble looks like. Jeremiah's wasn't that."

Would not be my ideal game watch location. But kudos to #55 for hanging tough.

I could see this working out. Neither have won anything of note but made playoff appearances. Same same with no need to raise any expectations at PSU.

So, my point is that it is a stupid rule. I'm not talking about specifics. I don't care if Ohio State, or the Browns, or anyone else I might be rooting for, benefits from it 100 times and never, ever gets boned by it. It is a stupid rule. I've never heard anyone say one reason why it should be a rule.
If I fumble on the opponent's 20 and it goes out of bounds at the 15, I get the ball at the 20.
If I fumble on the opponent's 10 and it goes out of bounds at the 7, I get the ball at the 10.
If I fumble on the opponent's 4 and it goes out of bounds at the 1, I get the ball at the 4.
If I fumble on the opponent's 2 and it goes out the side or back of the endzone, my opponent gets the ball at the 20.
Show me the logic.

Jeremiah's bobble wasn't a fumble at all, and the whole "controversy" is absurd. Preliminarily, since he'd clearly established possession and control well before the bobble, none of the rules about whether something is a catch apply (I know we all know this but it those rules seem to have been in some commentators minds). Then, if a player is carrying the ball in the field of play but never actually loses it (i.e. it hits the turf or another player grabs it out of the air), it's not recorded as a fumble or as any kind of loss of possession. Smith bobbled the ball, but he never lost possession of it by fumbling it.

Again, I'm talking about the general rule, itself. But, as it applies to this specific case, I agree with you. He doesn't need to "re-receive" the ball. He doesn't need to get the ball and then 2 feet down. He's already caught the ball. All he needs to do now is have the ball in the theoretical infinite space above the endzone, like when a ball carrier extends the ball over the pylon.
And your point of "control" is excellent. I know soccer and football are different. Basketball and football are different. But every time a player dribbles the ball, has he lost control? No... unless it's me, I suppose.

This is it, for me. If the defender had punched the ball out and it goes out the back of the endzone, fine. Stupid rule, but at least it's a real fumble.
If Smith had stepped out at the 1, no one would have thought twice about that play or the bobble or anything. But he goes into and out the side of the endzone, and it's now a "controversy".

And, trust me, I'm way more annoyed that this is a rule than I am about Smith's "controversy". Even if they had called it a fumble and the cheaters get the ball at the 20, I'd still be more annoyed about the rule than I would be about that specific play.
