Anthony Jordan (head official vs LSU)

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Hmmm... He blew his whistle 44 times Saturday, 29 against UT, 15 LSU...

Saw this on twitter too. Austin Price confirmed that it is Anthony Jordan in the photo. Not a good look for the SEC.

 

[Kinger]

He also got what seemed like a thousand minutes on the air during reviews

Barnes needs to raise hell, stand up for his teamn maybe even take a fine. He did run onto floor after final buzzer after Jordan but another official stopped him. Its time he takes a stand.

This is kind of a big deal IMO

Nope... fair or unfair, this guy's integrity will be called into question whenever he is calling an LSU game from now on.

Damn right it is.. What would Kentucky fans do? They'd go ballistic.

I know an ACC football ref. He is a big Tennessee fan and can’t/won’t ref any Tennessee games, he doesn’t even ref the SEC because of it... My wife’s uncle is a former NBA/SEC ref and said an honest ref would never work a game in which they’re a fan of either team. This guy is clearly not an honest ref...

 

[Roustabout]

This is a direct violation of officiating?
WTF. We need to push this shat and speak out Schiano style.

Once again, college basketball officials are the worst. Not just Tennessee games.

picture needs to be posted on all SEC message boards -- let fans run him off

I'm sure they're not supposed to post pics to social media expressing support for a team they officiate. That pic was from 2014, how long has Jordan been an SEC official?

That’s an absolute sham. That is messed up

Since before 2014. I am certain.

wow , I bet he gets a raise from the SEC

solid gallows humor there

All I can think about is if I was ref yesterday, we would have won by double digits boys

Exactly the way it should be. When accepting a referee job, should have to disclose any teams for which they cheer and should not be assigned to officiate those games. It's clearly a conflict of interest.

In pretty sure his calls yesterday were something like 29-15 in favor of LSU and the other 2 officials were a combined +4 in favor of UT

You would be correct

We actually just need to move on and not look line sore losers.

We are fans, not participants. We don't have to do anything. Like I said in an above post, I'm sure the SEC has a rule against posting pics to social media in support of a specific conference team. If he did this while he was an SEC official, it needs to be brought to light. It is a big deal.

This might explain the immediate "make up calls" after the two Ts called on LSU. It was pretty obvious. It also might explain why they let Wade piss and moan like a school girl and never stopped it. Sad that the SEC office would let this type of crap happen.

Bad take. This is a completely new development. If this hadn’t happened I’d say sure let’s drop complaining about the refs for that game, but now we know that the head official’s judgement was clouded

 

[Putbacks]

Equivalent to booster involvement.
