Another band kid here, including LHB. I agree. It's worse than "Boomer Sooner".

Our band is thankfully playing the "Wolf of Wall Street" riff less often these days.

I think my lips would have been gassed. I remember practicing so much for my solo contest that I'd get to the point where they were practically numb.

Well LSU earned that loss there not able to stop them after the false start. Still should never have made OT at all. 17 yards on 4th and 18.

Here are the plays where the refs just gave the game away.
1) they were clearly short on the 4th and 18 yet no review
2) If they had called Mond down originally, no way aggs get enough time to score as they had receivers downfield. Even with the 10 second run off, think more clock than that expires by the time they get lined up and run a play
3) 81's fumble was a pretty clear catch and fumble. Both announcers thought so. No official review on that either.
4) Williams false start not called. I mean really how do you miss that? Instead of 1st and 15 at the 30, you have 1st and 10 and the 15.

The interference and unsportsmanlike were totally bush league but PI is missed more than other calls so I get that. The above 4 were inexcusable. With all that said, LSU had so many times they make one play, ultimately they own this loss themselves., How coaches don't punch refs is beyond me. I don't think I'd have the self control. I'd just deck the guy and walk off the field and tell Fisher to stick it as I walked off. Take my 5M and go sit on a beach.
 
That LSU aggy game was just fun to watch, seriously both teams had game won and lost several times and it just kept on going. Good for aggy they get so much misery they need a win like this every decade or so just to keep them going. Easily their biggest win since Bama in 2012.

My sons a Sr. at A&M so I was happy for him. He would have gone to UT, but aggs give full scholy for national merit and UT nada so it's too much money to turn down and he worked too hard in HS not to take that type of scholarship. He's not a big aggie fan or anything and still likes the Horns just as well. He only went to a few games in 4 years so happy his last was a win. But even with that, during the game I can't pull for them. Just can't. Only time I can pull for aggy is when they used to play OU.
 
After looking back over it, the yellow line was off on that 4th down play and he did get the first down. The official stats actually show it as a 20 yard gain. SECN may be a crappier production than even FS1.

I get the incomplete pass. It was right on the boundary of taking his full 2nd step and so they stuck with the call on the field.

I missed the "missed false start" unless it was the one they waved off saying the FB legally went in motion, which I'm just not sure the rule on.

Mond's knee being down was hard to tell because the replay didn't do a good job. They paused it with his knee down and the ball not quite in his possession yet, then didn't move forward from there.

The play before the 1-second-left, I'm not convinced the A&M dude actually got out of bounds, but again, no good replay.

DPI at the end was super dubious, but then LSU got the false start and still couldn't stop them, so they earned that.

Yahoo is saying the yellow line television marker on the controversial 4th down conversion was two yards beyond the actual first down marker meaning it was a first down:

Texas A&M beats LSU in one of the longest games in FBS history

Be nice if the announcers or anyone called that out. Doesn't change the fumble by 81. That shouldn't have been a controversial call. He never lost control of the ball until hit. He was just changing the ball to the off hand.

The clocked stopped for 1st down, not because receiver was out of bounds. 3 secs is generally the limit to stop the clock on a spike ball after a first down.

The false start was not the motion play. Williams moved and 2 LSU LBs were pointing at him when they snapped the ball and were not set. Aggs got 10 yds on the play down to the 15. Just not sure how you miss a false start on a RB. I mean how can a ref miss that when there is no one around him except the QB. I still think the fumble was a fumble. Never looked like he bobbled the ball. He just moved the ball to his outside hand right before he got hit. But LSU played too conservative in spots and it cost them. They own the loss. The last PI was friggin weak as well. It goes to another OT without that call. Aggs got several favorable calls down the stretch. Is what it is. If I were an LSU fan I'd be livid.
 
Masters for me at UT. 2 kids at A&M. I was at the game it was clearly a first down, TV was line was wrong. My seats were even with first down marker

LSU got alot of calls, Ags got alot of calls. LSU is low class dirt. They tried everything before the game to start a fight practicing and kicking on our side. Trying to warm up in the middle of the band performance at half time. Lot's of loud mouth idiots. Of course ags pass defense made their scrub QB look all world
 
I think this could be a spring board for the Aggies...win their bowl game and they’ve got good confidence and Mond and Williams back next year....
 
Aggy has road games next year at Clemson, at Georgia, at LSU and home games with Bama, Auburn and South Carolina. Aggy will be better team next year but might have same 8-4 record as this year. Jimbo is not the frauds that Fran and Sumlin were or the just bad fit that Sherman was. For first time since RC had them going in the early 90's aggy has real shot at being nationally relevant for sustained period. That said he better get them at least nationally relevant at 7.5M a year.

I thought it was a pretty clear fumble. Two steps making a "football move" with control of the ball. Having said that, it wasn't a "the refs are throwing the game" kind of moment.

I think this was the right call. He shifted to the right, but didn't move toward the line of scrimmage. I guess the only question is, does he have to come set before the play?

When you see that graph, you know it was a good game.
