Since we’re on the topic- does anyone know how Harry’s (when it was open)was able to keep serving alcohol all night? Seems like there was a 2:00 am curfew on drinks in most places…Only the Supper Club and Harry’s were able to keep serving…

I know the Supper Club had the “private club “ angle…With Harry’s, I always figured it was a combination of the owners/ bartenders not caring, and the cops not wanting to fool with the paperwork…

I was there mid-90s… Loved that place 

Favorite graffiti slogan I remember is one that said “Flush Twice- It’s a Long Way To Tuscaloosa “

I seem to remember the Jukebox had a good mix of classic rock and (real) country…Good times

The difference is the *Kick Six* the Bama RB ran out of bounds and if that happens the clock doesn’t start until the ball is snapped.  If the clock stops by gaining a first down, the clock starts when the ball is spotted and the chains have been repositioned.  Kind of a running clock.  The review allowed the clock to stop while they reviewed and Auburn was allowed to get it’s FG unit on the field and set up (the key point) to be able to snap the ball on the whistle. 

The team has to be set for at least 1 sec to snap the ball or it it is a penalty (See the 2016 LSU game).  The review allowed Auburn to be set at the whistle and the 1 sec to set did not apply.  Look for Saban to address this in the off season.

Thanks for the breakdown!

So, delving into the risky area of trying to understand bammers’ logic— It seems the common excuse that’s emerging is about the clock adjustment and resulting field goal from the first half of the Iron Bowl. Some are calling the time review illegal while others are saying that we shouldn’t have been allowed to get our field goal unit set for play.

Question: Is there any difference between the time review/adjustment scenario from last weekend vs. the similar scenario prior to the Kick Six? (Other than we made the kick!)

We know the bammers are painfully aware of the Kick Six, and the time review seems pretty similar in both situations...I can’t see how they can’t see their own hypocrisy....Is there any rule book minutia they’re trying to base their logic on?

Coach of either team can call a timeout anytime before the ball is snapped.  Do you honestly believe the official that is granting the time out doesn't start blowing his whistle right away?     Blowing the whistle doesn't always prevent the snap, particularly when coaches wait so long to ask for the timeout and the snap is imminent. 

Haven't you ever seen a coach call a timeout right before a FG attempt but the kick happens anyway?  Whistle doesn't often prevent the snap or even the kick either.

Okay thanks...sounds pretty straightforward.

What’s the rule on when a coach can call a timeout vs. when the ball is snapped?...In the UGA/Notre Dame game, ND had a touchdown taken away because UGA called a timeout. ND got the play off but apparently UGA had told the side judge that they wanted a timeout. The camera angle didn’t show whether or not UGA notified the ref before ND snapped the ball....

If teams can call a timeout at the last second before the ball is snapped, it seems like the ref who is notified should start blowing his whistle right away to stop play...Thanks for any info; sorry if this has been covered already.
