What Could Possibly Be The Motive

For SEC Officials to attempt to do or actually do something to influence a game one way or the other? I officiated GHSA football for 25 years, and I can honestly say I never intentionally did anything to influence the outcome of a game, and I have always given other officials the benefit of the doubt. You can be bad but never biased is what I believed until last night.

The difference is simply money. Not for the officials but for the SEC and ESPN. Many have believed for years that Alabama got help. Why? No huge local television market but a national following. Texas has multiple huge television markets and a national following. They are going to get more help than Alabama ever did. Followings equals ratings and ratings equals money.

The way that penalty was waived
off last night was egregious. In the GHSA, the offended team would have rightfully filed a report last night. If a flag is going to be waived off, it must be done immediately after the call was mutually determined to be wrong, and the bottles on the field should have been a delay of game on Texas. PI is not reviewable, but once they saw the big screen replay is when they seized the opportunity. The conference and the network wanted TX undefeated, and the officials tried to help.

Prior to last night I would have laughed at this post, now I’m posting it. The SEC will do nothing of any consequence, because they are partially behind it and fully compromised. The crew should be suspended, but it will never happen.

Need to fix targeting!!

How do you fix this penalty that is now being openly lobbied to be called on every big hit in football (by coaches too) and can be reviewed on every play. It needs to be only called only on field for one thing and should be called sparingly on plays where the offensive player comes in low. Further what is good for the goose and good for the gander. On dan’s play, offensive player should have been called also. I hope the rules committee makes some changes. Football is a violent sport. Can’t take all of that out of game.

The word going around now is that he would've been fired during the BYE week had the Gators lost to UK, and that the U of F already has his interim replacement picked out, and that person is a current analyst for the U of F. Now that they won against UK a victory over UGA or LSU is pretty much the only thing that can maybe save his job, and the U of F is planning to pull the trigger before the regular season is over.

Which one of you was this??

From the Texas board.

I thought the UGA fans were behaved quite well pregame and around the tailgates, etc. But once the game started, and especially in the stands, the fans around me in section 6 were terrible and made the game watching experience unenjoyable. One group was escorted out of the stadium. I'm not sure if this is the norm in the SEC, but this is twice now (LSU in 2019) where visiting SEC fans have not been the best. The UGA fan that was escorted out, prior to being kicked out, yelled at my wife "THIS IS HOW IT IS IN THE SEC" as spit came out of this mouth onto her and others around her. No bueno.

Here is the list of quickest to 100 wins (Kirby T-5th all-time)

I laughed when Georgia barely put this in its official game notes and that might be a reason that the broadcast didn't talk much about it

but if you read my article from earlier this week - i had it in there



But anyway, he is the list of fhte quickest to 100 wins by a FBS head coach (or what the highest football at that time... since most were very early)
