As for those calling for us to stop complaining, we are fans and it's what fans do. Now next year when we are Bowl eligible we will have even more reason to moan about horrible calls. Ask Appy about GS fans complaining about missed/bad calls.
It's something you aught to finally get used to after @ 20 more years of bedlam in the board. You will receive a cannonade of posts whenever you score against GS. Doesn't matter if your guy is standing of sitting in the middle of the end zone, he is still out. No doubt about it.
Sorry, just some of us understand the rules and applications of what is SUPPOSED to happen.
Sort of like this play, where App clearly fumbles the ball, it's called a fumble then the SoCon refs huddle and say he was down.
Unless you don't understand football, why wouldn't one question such an inaccurate accounting of what transpired ? Isn't the entire idea of replay to get it right ? Now in 2010, replay wasn't an option for that game. But I'm guessing the replay guy was asleep at the switch for the Tech game because they are able to stop play when they see this type of questionable call arise.
I can live with the decision to overturn, because in my mind it is so close. Just like Brian Quick's catch in Boone. But when they miss obvious calls like my photo from Saturday, and Allen's shot from 2010 ... they are gonna stick in my mind as complete whiffs.
Whistle had been blown. The play was dead. Therefore no fumble.
Yeah, the SoCon refs are soooo good they blow the whistle while a tackle is being made with a guy in mid-air.

RE: ACC To Comment on Botched Call from the GS/GT Game
I did not see the game, but after watching NCSU first three games. Ga Southern was by far the best team we played and are above a few ACC teams. I am impressed with the program and can't wait for you all to get to full scholarships. I think P5's will soon be regretting scheduling you all as a guaranteed game, I know NCSU should have because you all gave us them game, we did not beat you.

He had been in the grasp for what seemed like half a hour. Did you want the refs to wait and let him throw the QB down and stomp on him?

We all lived through the horrible SoCon officiating, and all of us were screwed at some point. Heck, App went an entire season without the other conference teams' OL being called for holding. We got over it, GS fans should try the same.
RE: ACC To Comment on Botched Call from the GS/GT Game
Truth be told, I wish it was easier for me to get over it. I think it's a byproduct of the type of job I have in the real world. In my line of work, you screw up and someone has the potential to be dead. I extrapolate how seriously I take my job in how others should do theirs. So yeah, it's a personal issue that I'm not likely to get over anytime soon . That doesn't make me a bad fan either, maybe just unrealistic and I can't argue that point.

Well... just to bring this full circle. The whistle blew immediately when the ball (the incomplete forward pass.. that is :) )hit the ground, before it was recovered. So EVEN IF it had not been a forward pass.. WHICH IT WAS.... the play should have been dead = dead ball = no turn over.
RE: ACC To Comment on Botched Call from the GS/GT Game
Sounds as if Georgia Tech was impressed enough to start negotiations with Georgia Southern for
more games. Would hold out for home and homes. Would help GT and GaSo attendances.

As long as there is an immediate recovery attempt, if it is ruled a fumble then the ball can change possession, even if the play is whistled dead before the recovery. They made that change several years ago.

I agree with E22. If I screw up at my job, it can lead to friendly forces coming under fire/potentially dying. I also have aircrew safety to contend with. Attention to detail and making sure things are correct are very important.
Hell I even made sure to do a good job when I was bagging groceries back when I was a teenager.
