The black eye of the SEC

Well, it's his fault for not stepping into the conversation and making an argument to waive off the flag.  Especially at such a pivotal part of the game.

It was all fun and games until they got called on it. Slive suspended the crew, not the head of officials, Redding. This was probably not a good week to have any infractions noted. Even a piece of tape.
Too much national interest in SEC officiating this week. As bad as some of us hate opposing conference members, remember, the rest of the country hates us all. They want to see the conference fucked up.

1st down at the 29. Tebow had to get to the 19. The yellow line was off.

You're right, the orange line is off by a half yard.  Not only is the marker line off, but it actually should've been (2nd and 8) not (2nd and 9), the line of scrimmage is set at the 27 1/4 yardline, the initial (1st and 10) line of scrimmage is set on the 28 3/4 yardline...the first down would be 9 yards away, which would put it at the 18 1/4 yardline the orange marker line is on the 18 yardline.  Also, Vern "Would that be an incomplete pass?" Lundquist didn't know what down it was when he thought that Tebow had been stopped short when he said, "first down? Nope, second down."  It should've been third and very, very short.

Unfortunately... the pigs got hosed.

That alone didn't cause us to lose the game. We had our chance to win. It has opened the conference up to a lot more scrutiny(if that is even possible). Maybe this will help yall in Red Stick. That's always been a good place to get hosed in.

I don't question that he only saw the Arkansas DLineman hitting that OLineman and knocking him down, well away from the play.....I'm wondering why that ref, that was right there when it happened, didn't step up and say that the DLineman was defending himself, because the OLineman was initiating the contact.
