Terrence Cody is unblockable.

His arteries? Not so much.

“This was all part of Kiffin’s plan: keep it close and look like you know what you are doing. He is gaining respect around the conference by losing. Alabama should have blown them out because we said they would….”

Hey, if it sounds good against Florida, then why not Alabama?

7 – The funniest part is that the 380 lb man is terrified of the angry munchkin.

Love Freek, but what is with the dearth of content after the day in which there is actually new developments in the college football world?

So, Kiffykins is turning into the Charlie Weis of the SEC?

@9 – Well, they do a bunch on Saturdays, and post all week, so Sunday is a bit of a day off. Plus, O/S is working on The Alphabetical, Holly is working on EDSBS: The Magazine, and they’re both doing that while traveling home from whatever game they were at with a thumping hangover.

Is taking your helmet off in the middle of a play a penalty, and if so what should have been the consequences on this play of Cody having done so?

Phocion says:

@12: SEC explanation is that the penalty for removing a helmet during a play is a live ball penalty that gets treated as a dead ball penalty and assessed on the following play. With :00 on the clock there was no next play to assess the penalty on.

Look at it like this, had that been an interception or fumble recovered by Alabama and Cody did the same thing Alabama would have been given the ball 15 yards behind when they recovered it. Tennessee would not have been given the ball back to run the play again.

Also, calling a celebration penalty that directly materially affected the outcome of the game would probably be a carer-limiting move for an SEC official after the events of last week.

anunaki says:

Technically, I think, and I stress’ think,’ if the ball was not down before the helmet came off (and it probably was anyways, so it’s a moot point), it isn’t a dead ball foul, so it would have been yardage and a re-kick. However, after the happenings of late in officiating, if a ref would have flagged that and given Tennessee the game with a re-kick there would have been a literal riot. I mean, a full-on, no shit, burning buildings riot.

If there was ever a time to let a guy’s emotion get to him that was it. That’s going to be one of those rivalry moments. 30 years from now when we’re watching the SEC on CBS in Virtual Reality with Verne Lundquist’s preserved head broadcasting from a jar, making his ever worsening name amalgamations (Leigh Tiffin. Lane Kiffin. Leigh Kiffin? Lane Tiffin?), they will do one of those spots, “Great Moments in Rivalry History, ‘The Block,’” or something like that.

@15:

Andy Staples did a blurb about this. It is a live ball foul that is treated as a dead ball penalty. Alabama recovered the kick, eventually, and I don’t think there’s any doubt that the helmet came off before UA recovered. But UA did recover, which means that, had any time been left on the clock, UA would’ve been walked back 15 yards to take the victory snap.

Also, in that blurb, Staples mentioned that it didn’t matter anyway because the game was over. Apparently, even though the game can’t end on a defensive penalty, the call would have been that UA was no longer on defense, so game over. That portion of the explanation I think sounds strange.

But bottom line, since it’s treated as a dead ball foul, and because UA recovered the kick (assuming that it did not cross the line of scrimmage), UT would not have had another shot.

Kiffin is a whiny little bitch though. Intentionally making the headsets malfunction? Really?

Seriously, Freek is a treasure. Also, there’s something about animated .gif that really brings out the Andre Smith in Mt. Cody.

Love how #4 for Bama is highstepping alongside of the chase. lol.

The whole Kiffen experiment is the weirdest thing I have witnessed watching college football. He is just a weird dude.

Many thanks for the explanations. . . . I am glad a good game did not end in controversy.

Nice one Holly. The cherry on top is the Darryl Hall hairstyle that Mr. Bacon is sporting.

pffft… To the SEC, it sounds like a fine way to get noticed by upper management and put your name into consideration for lifetime Rules Committee Chairman.

did anyone else laugh when Verne referred to Alabama as Auburn right before the last kick?

Auburn had a lot less trouble with Tennessee, so they should take it as a compliment! [ducks]

The Tusk says:

Holly – we’ll take 8-0 over 7-21.

Y’all just misunderstand the Nicktator’s season plan. He’s bored with winning MNCs the traditional way. In order to keep himself interested he’s only going to kick FGs and score defensive TDs the rest of the season (how the hell else could you explain passing on 3rd & 1 at the 4, then taking the FG after moving the ball at will with Ingram?).
