Really?

So I don't know what is going on with the LSU game tonight, but it's realy killing me. First, there's our total lack of defense. I was really hoping that we would have a decent defense this year, and based on the first half of the game, we have a worse defense than we did last year. We are putting some pressure on the qb, but not enough to sack him, and we have absolutely no pass coverage at all. If it weren't for f'ups by Washington, we'd be in the hole right now.

Second, ESPN's coverage is horrible! There's the whole issue with the wobbly cameras. It's giving me a headache. Then there's the commentators failing to describe the fouls. Finally, there's them chatting it up through a TD play by LSU. The go back to the game in time for me to see a guy run into the endzone, but I have no idea how he got there. Seriously, if you screw up and don't have the game showing when you're supposed to be airing the game, at least replay it. And an LSU player intercepted a ball and ran it in for a TD, and the commentators didn't even say who it was. I mean, it's not hard. Just give the guy a shout out.

Finally, the refs suck. And I don't just mean bc they have made calls that are detrimental to LSU. They are missing obvious calls on both sides. They are forgetting to announce the penalties that they call. They take forever to....oh, I have to interrupt to bitch about the facemasking that they just failed to call. Where was I? Oh, yes...they take forever to decide a replay that is totally obvious. They throw a flag and whistle a play dead prior to the snap, then let the play unfold, pick of the flag, and move on as if nothing has happened. Call me crazy, but I was under the impression that if you've alreadly whistled a play dead, the play is actually dead. Apparently things are different on the west coast.

Great, one of our defensive linemen just went out with what looks like a concussion. Things just keep getting better.

I don't like the start to this season. I don't like it one bit.

UPDATE: To the refs of this game. I know it's confusing, so here's the definition of HOLDING:

An illegal action where one player keeps another from advancing by grabbing him and holding him back.
