  Speaker 1: a story we had an inconceivable not that long ago.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: On the text on somebody says, Craig, did you recline
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: your seat? And he answers, yes, I did you remember
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that story camp about the person getting angry at the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: person reclining their seat on the airplane.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: On the airplane, Uh oh yeah, yeah I did. I
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: did good memory texture, Yeah, well done, I did. I did.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I did recline my seat. But but I'm good. Somebody,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: if it was going to get in somebody's way, then
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I would have limited my recline, but it did not,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: so it worked out well.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I did reclimb my seat, though. Listen. After calling the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: game Saturday, I got home.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: About one o'clock in the morning, got to bed about
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: one thirty, got up at four point thirty to catch
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that flight yesterday morning out to La Spent the whole
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: day out there, roaming around the Hollywood Hills and then
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to the Hollywood Bowl for the concert, and then after
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the concert back to Lax. Dropped the rental car, get
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: on a red eye flight home. We landed about eight
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: twenty this morning, and then it was straight over to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: campus to get ready for Sark's news conference, which we
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: brought to you live this morning on the Zone.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I was.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Going to recline, in other words, so I could sleep
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit on the plane, a little bit, you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: even though I have learned to sleep on planes, still,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you know, you can't sleep soundly of wake up and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you know, go back to sleep and all that other
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So anyway, I did reclimb my seat. Okay,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: somebody said, cheese. It's our favorite, too, the regular ones
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: or the or the extra toasty, because that's the ones
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: that Linda likes. This is the extra toasty. She kind
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of got kind of got me turned on to him
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: as well. You know what, we didn't like too much
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: camera remember when Pizza Hut did that cheese at pizza
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: where they did where the crust was like a cheese it. Now,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: oh yeah they did. They tried this a few a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: few weeks a few years ago. The cheese it came
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: out kind of gooey, kind of gummy, which I would imagine,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I guess with a pizza, So it didn't really do
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: much for us. And then of course lately Taco Bell
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: has been doing that cheese at tostada thing. Uh, and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: my son Jason tried that and he said it was, eh,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: it's okay.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: It was that kind of thing.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: That's one of those deals where Linda's life. Linda says
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: things like stay in your lane, cheese its, you know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: just keep cranking out the extra toasty and she'll be fine.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Somebody asked, should the reffs have conferred and picked up
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the flag instead of rushing to announce the DPI and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: then confer while water bottles rained down before reversing themselves.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Red crew did not help these still inexcusable response by
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: upset fans. Okay, this opens up the Pandora's box, which
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: we need.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: To get to.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I explained it Saturday night on the air, but I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: realized not everybody was listening to us, and we're at
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the game and unable to listen, or we're dieting. Some
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: we're watching and listening to the television call. Some might
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: not have been around a radio or whatever. But what
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I'm about to tell you is what It's a combination
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of things about the stuff that happened in the moment
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: there on Saturday night, and some of it retroactively comes
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: from the SEC in their statement, and the other is
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: something that happened almost in the real time that was happening.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I got worried from actual football officials about the procedure
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that was going on. So obviously we're talking about the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: interception by Shaddibert. You have that highlight you were playing
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that you were kind of working with that as Viking
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: fence defensive play the game.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Right shot is you want to hear it? Yeah? Sure,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: all right, So here's here's the play. Here's what happened
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: on the play.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Coon down to nine, Georgia Crumb the Bulldog thirty one
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: shotguns snapped the back, sends it out left, the intercepted
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: it shot a barn Barn twenty five, twenty fifteen, ten
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: turns it down to the nine yard line. Shot a
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Baron brings it all the way back to the line
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: and the longbarns we'll have first and goal.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Now, let me tell you that as I called it,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I saw the flag come out, and of course, and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: this is not a bad thing. But whenever that happens
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and I'm in the middle of the call, I've got
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: let's see one, two, three, four, sometimes five additional people
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: in the booth, and they're all waving like flag, flag, flag,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and that's okay, and I kind of hold up my
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: hand to acknowledge it. Yeah, I understand it, but I'm
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: going to finish the call in case the call was
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: against the other team, which ultimately that's exactly what happened.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I even said on the air, See, that's why we
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: finish out the call, the highlight call, you know, that
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. But in the moment, as we know,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: past interference was originally called against shoddy Barron. Now I
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: understand where fans had come through. I've read a lot
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: of social media stuff between going out to LA and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: back in the last twenty four hours, and it really
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: start not long after the play itself happened on Saturday night,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I understand where a lot of fans.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Said, you know, it was a bleeping bleep call or whatever.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: It was a terrible call, YadA YadA, and it insided
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the fans to throw the bottles. And then when all
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the stuff was being thrown on the field, that's when
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the officials got together and change their mind.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: That is incorrect, that's incorrect.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I've read another tweet where somebody said that they were
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: ready to snap the ball.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: They were not. No, that was not correct either.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Right after it happened, when Sark was kind of, you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: questioning it and was jumping them down and saying what
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: he was saying the officials, the officials then started.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: To gather to discuss it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: At about the same time that students and fans in
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that northeast corner started pelting the end zone. It out
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: on the field with the plastic contour, water bottles and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: then other debris as well, which is never good.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: That should never be allowed.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Sark even walked out there and said, hey, knock it off,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: we don't do that. So on and so forth. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: made public address announcements all that kind of stuff. We
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: saw the officials go down there. Then the officials come back,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the call gets reversed, But it didn't get reversed because
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: of any gap in time between what happened with the bottles.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: It didn't get reversed because of the water bottle incident
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: or the trash throwing debris throwing incident. It didn't get
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: reversed on review either. It's not a reviewable play. Although
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: many feel that pass interference should be reviewed, that's.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Not why I got reversed. Why I got reversed.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Is and from the sec they said, the officials got together.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I believe it was the field judge who threw the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: flag for defensive pass interference meant to tell the referee,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I've got OPI offensive pass interference, but he didn't.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: He said I got a DPI.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: And so then the referee looked up there and he
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: saw shot and he said number seven. He goes yeah.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: The official said yeah. So then they they made the announcement.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Of course, everybody loses their mind and to go and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: go crazy and all the other kind of stuff. Then
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: they start to I think the official got a little
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: bit CONFUSA says a way went way minute, and they
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: started to have a conversation. Then the debris comes down
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: all right, it's later on, after the factors, after all
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: that happened and the stuff was cleaned up and all
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: of the and all of that, and Sark made his
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: plea to them, and then the announcement was made by
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Matt Leffler, the referee, that it was not a defensive
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: pass interference call.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: After all of that happened, we were saying on there,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I've never seen that before. Where that would happen after that,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I've never seen that happen before. Well, we didn't know
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: all the stuff that went into it that when they
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: got together again, when they reconvened, then they said, no,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: it's an offensive pass interference. Here's the rub of what happened.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Why was there the delay before that happened? One reason,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and one reason only safety. I had text messages coming
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: from officials who said in that sequencing, in that moment,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the first job of the referee and his crew is
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to secure the safety on the field of the people
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: on the field. So you go and deal with the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: safety issue first of the bottles and the trash. Then
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you come back and finish the discussion. It wasn't that
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the discussion was set up by the debris being thrown
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: onto the field. They had already already to walk together
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to convene when the trash hit the field, then they
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: immediately have to turn their attention to go up to
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the north east corner, get that resolved, then come back
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and deal with it. So then they deal with it,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: and it's an offensive pass interference call. And the reason
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you didn't hear Matt Leffler, the referee say offensive pass
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: and difference is because Texas had declined it. He just said, yeah,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: we're going down here, and then boom to get the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: game going again.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: It's down at the nine yard line. That's what happened.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: But I understand how the appearance can look like, oh yeah,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: then then they had a chance to go back and
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: review it, or then they had a chance to go back. No,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: they had already started to gather to discuss it when
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the trash was hit in the field. Then they immediately,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: by rule and by their policy, have to go and
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: diffuse that situation before they can discuss it. So just
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that everybody understands that's what That's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: what happened on that So somebody said, hey, Craig, did
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: you get to meet herb Street And Ben. I saw
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: that you were right next to them in the booth.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: You got a little TV time on Saturday thanks to
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Jacob from Dennison. I've met Kirk before. I've I've visited
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: with Herbie. In fact, I've had him on my show
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: in the past. Good dude, get along with him.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Five. I've not had a chance to meet Ben yet.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: You know who really wants to meet Ben.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: It's my wife. She loves Ben. She wants to meet Ben.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: And and so no, I have not had a chance
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to meet Ben. But Kirk, I know somebody else is
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: roasty toasty like those cheeses. And then someone I said,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady now owns ten percent of the Las Vegas Raiders,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: although Brady himself is one owned by the New York Giants.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And that's that's cute SNL weekend update there, all right, anyway,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: So there's there is more of that explanation. Hopefully that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: kind of helps. Now, none of that zero, none of
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: that condones accepts, understands or any of that. What happened
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: in the northeast corner of the end zone with the
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: throwing of the trash, it's always an absolute no. You
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: can't have it. You just can't have it. University's fine
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. They are instituting their
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: policy where they're scanning video to see if they can
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: identify because this is also, by the way, mandated by
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the SEC. They have to make a good faith effort
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to see if they can identify person or persons who
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: are throwing the debris.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: On the field and.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Take action against thoseburg whether it's revoking tickets or this
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: or that or whatever it is, they have to do
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that as part of this policy from the SEC.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: It's similar, Craig, to what happened in twenty twenty two
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: against Alabama. Remember when we thought Bryce Shawn was Bryshaw
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: was so in the end zone for a safety and
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: and it turns out he would have been calling personal
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: foul against Texas Offensively, the student section was just right
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: behind that end zone ended up throwing things on the
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: field after the play. Again, yep, there's not condoning it,
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: but no, this is happening. This is exactly just like
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Alabama two years ago.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: And I understand the Texas fans getting into it with
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Georgia fans posting the stories about when Georgia did it
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty one. All that other kind of stuff,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: twenty seven thousand wrongs don't make it right. Just all
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: of it's wrong, every bit of it's wrong. You just
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: can't have it. For safety's sake, for sportsmanships sake, for
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: all of it. Can't have it. And I think everybody
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: knows that. But and I won't put it one hundred
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: percent on the students, but the vast majority were students.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Those who were there, you still should know better.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Can't do it. You just can't do it.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: All right, We're going to hear more from Longwin s
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: head coach Steve sarkishan coming up on sports Radio I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Am thirteen hunder Zone in the IR radio app
