Bonus picture!

This really bad photo is taken from the key controversial play in the Alabama at Ole Miss game, which was the subject of my previous post (the overturn by replay officials). My apologies for the quality because it's taken off a TV from the crucial frame.

If you look closely, you can tell that Ole Miss receiver Shay Hodge touches the ball first, just before Alabama cornerback Lionel Mitchell. The reason why this is important is because Hodge had been out-of-bounds, thus ineligible to make a play on the ball until after it was touched by either an opponent or an official.

In short, the replay officials got it right.

If you look even closer, you can see a small horse and rider between a cheerleader's legs. That's actually a reflection of a lamp -- you aren't seeing things, unless the horse is moving. If so, you're on your own.
