Blowu cheating and pulling bush league, low character shit. Shocker. Film at 11.  🙄

That was an illegal play by OU….its in the rule book.  SEC has come out and said as such.

Heard’m talking about it on “Full Ride” this morning.  Yea, Auburn shoulda caught, but so should have the refs.   In this case, Auburn got screwed.  It was intentional by Venables.

Just for arguments sake, the OU play by play guy is saying the OU coaches asked the refs before the game if the play was illegal and they were told it was not.  Likely we will never know if this is the truth or not.

So, lets say some other team not OU, because OU, saw a tendency from Auburn and wanted to exploit it.  They came up with a play (funnily the slot receiver was talking trash to the DB to distract him)  and asked the refs about it before the game and were told is was not a penalty.  Is that cheating?  My initial reaction was it was a bush league play by OU that certainly skirted the rules.  However, if they did address it before the game with the refs then I think it is ok.

Sooners struggled against Auburn's meh defense. If things don't improve our defense is gonna have a field day with them.

Been thinking the same...they can't seem to run the ball and the only real worry is Mateer running around to make a play ala the Ewok.

Their DL will fuck our OL up tho.

I do think that's where the game will be won or loss(as is most always the case).

Can our DL get to Mateer and be sound enough not to let the dude run around to wait for a guy to get open.

And can our OL handle a very good DL.

Cover 3 podcast bros are eating up ou, saying they have a top 3 defense in the country and suggesting possible sec cg.

Yep heard that too. Didn't even mention how fortunate they were to be gifted 7-14 points, and have 7 taken off the board for Auburn.  Any one of those don't occur and they probably lose.

Auburn had guys running open deep all game

Yep and TONS of PI not called either.  if Arch is over the "yips" and can hit open guys, they'll have some success.

If the refs said that, they were wrong. It is directly addressed in the rule book. And the SEC has confirmed it should have been penalty.

“Hideout” plays were a point of emphasis for SEC officials this past offseason. 
 
so, one of these apply:

1. OU described what they would do in a way that really didn’t communicate to the SEC officials. 
2. OU is lying about coordinating with the officials. 
3. Those officials slept through their offseason training.

I have no way of knowing if the pre-game conversation happened that way, but if so, then this is pretty clearly the conference putting the blame on the crew in a poorly managed game.  Semi-related, the side judge that made the no-catch call on Sategna that got overturned was chopping it up with the cheerleaders while they were reviewing his decision.  Bold play to try to get laid while being evaluated on national TV and in front of that many people who hate you for five minutes.

Well, you should avoid twitter anyway, just in general.

But I absolutely love the attention they're getting.  They can take the rat poison while Texas hears for the 5th week in a row how terrible and undeserving they are.

What was your point? I thought you concluded that if they addressed it with the officials, it was ok.

Possibly.  1) If they communicated it differently to the same refs that were on the field then the refs would have called it if they did something different.  2) Very possible. 3) Unlikely.  But it is obviously a subjective call.  They didn't huddle.  The player did not fake any type of injury.  Walking versus jogging to your spot is not a penalty.  I actually think the OU player talking trash to the DB is what caused Auburn to miss it.  

But, again, the question was not the technical intent of the rule.  The question was that if a team clears a play beforehand with the refs is it cheating or even bush league if they then run it in the game?  I guess I do not think so.

The question was do you think it is cheating or bush league by a team to run a play that they cleared with the refs?  If they had not cleared it beforehand it would almost certainly be bush league and possibly against the rules.  It certainly would be pushing the rules.

Texas?  That’s last years spread I'm pretty sure.  

Opened as Texas a -14.5 favorite , moved to -11.5, then -10.5 and now -4.5. Texas is still favored.  That 11.5 was from July. Looking forward to kicking the snot  out of the Sooners again. Wonder what the over under on how many quarters Mateer lasts running against out Linebackers and safeties?

No.  And likely never will.  I have no idea if it is true or not.  Just a hypothetical.

1 and 2 are a form of lying and 3 is likely too, so I chose OU lied, refs suck as my answer.

Yes it's still cheating and still dirty. The rulebook specifically states that it is every coach's responsibility to know the rules and coach their team with integrity. In fact it says gaining an advantage by circumvention or disregard for the rules brands a coach as unfit to be associated with football. 

That's in the rules governing the sport, so I'd say that answers your question.
