SEC officials are flat out corrupt

I can't stand listening to Rocky Goode as he always makes excuses for the bad calls refs make each week. I agree with you he should be fired for making this statement.

Obviously, Rocky is never going to call out an official during his time on the air. The problem is that the Sports Animal parades him on there like he might be objective or offer some sort of insight. I give John Wilkerson credit, though. He called him out on his explanation of the GA fair catch/run/no delay of game penalty explanation.

What often goes unnoticed is how bad the officials are at spotting the ball after each play. It's so bad it's almost comical.

This is twice this year FL has not been called for delay of game and won .. 4 th down in OT against UK and the clock clearly expired and FL throws a touchdown pass. No flag. Some teams are just lucky.

The SEC explained delay of game non call after the Kentucky game. The ref first must look at the clock and see that it hits zero, he then must look and see that the ball is not moving. So essentially all teams have the playclock plus the fraction of a second it takes the ref to see that the ball isn't snapped. That's how its called, that's how its always been called.

The fact that your team couldn't beat this pathetic excuse for a UF team should be your focus, not one call that was called exactly how it always is.

Let's be honest. The SEC didn't get to the top by being stupid. They know which team needs to go to which bowl to get maximum viewership and attendance. Who the heck is going to watch a national championship game with Vandy in it? They need their teams to look good but only the flagship teams like Bama, LSU, FL, and GA go to the big one if they can help it. No. They don't actually select the teams but they can "help" the process along. It would be very interesting to know the exact value difference the conference makes between Vandy and FL going to the SEC championship.ticket sales, merchandising, advertising dollars, and viewership would be significantly different for those two.

The problem is the ball was clearly not moving. You also can't tell me one of the seven or eight zebras can't be in a position to see the ball and clock at the same time. Also the dream or plan for the players are to get to the NFL. Adopt their rules. If the play clock hits zero then it's a delay of game.

There's one official watching for that. He's watching the clock, then looks at the ball. That's it. Get over it. A side judge is not going to be looking at it, the umpire is facing the wrong way, the back judge can't see the ball. So no, one of the other 7 guys cannot see it or make that call.

No, but if you notice when the clock starts counting down, it immediately moves to :59. It doesn't stay at :60 for a second. That's the equivalent to .5 secs on the clock in basketball. **** happens. It's not like the clock was sitting on zero for a long time. It hit, ball was snapped. No ref on any level will call it in that situation.

So if the premise of officials being corrupt and are able to be influenced is correct, Tennessee can't even get that right at a home game.

In other words, why aren't we paying the zebras too?

It's been worse this year than I recall in the past. Maybe a lot of the old guys are gone now and the new ones aren't as good. I actually thought we had one of the better crews today.

The play clock call was explained a couple of weeks ago by Rocky Goode (booth replay official) on the Sports Animal after UF had a late snap against KY that wasn't called. When the play clock reaches zero the official looks to see if the ball is moving. If so, no delay of game penalty. Obviously this takes a half second or so and can result in a snap being a tad late and not being called. Funny though that UF has benefitted from this two games in a row.

I used to think the SEC had the best officials. Not so much anymore. Kind of started going down hill when the previous head of officials retired a few years ago.

You think there was still time on that clock when the ball was hiked? Or are you just one of those, "I don't dispute what the refs say out of fear of being labeled a quote, unquote crybaby" type guys? That "you have to overcome those calls" mentality is born from those who are OK with being screwed by the system. The system instilled that mentality... We can't fix the system, so lets make them think it's their fault for not being able to win... And then win by even more bc the refs can't make the correct calls. Is the system flawed? Of course. Do i know how to fix it. No. Should I be labeled a "crybaby" bc the other team got away with one? Absolutely not.

The clock was zero before the ball was hiked. That wasn't the last play of the game. So had they called delay and Florida punted, we get the ball.... Maybe we win, maybe we don't. Had they kicked even still, maybe we win, maybe we don't. In any event, I would love to have seen that vs what happened. Yeah, $h!t happens...it goes both ways.... That doesn't mean I should be willing to accept the call just bc the system is flawed.

The more you're willing to accept the fact that the system isn't perfect, is more of a reason for them to keep going without change.

Was the clock at zero before the ball was hiked? Yes or no? It changes everything...for the good or bad. Officiating has to improve. The no call is unacceptable.

I'm sorry you're too ignorant to figure that out. The clock keeper hits the button, the timer immediately goes from 15:00 to 14:59. From that moment, the time from 59 to 58=1 sec, 58 to 57=2, 57 to 56=3, 56 to 55=4. Uh oh, when the clock says 55, how many full seconds have gone by. 4, because no seconds really went off from the 00-59.

Dumbest thing I've ever heard. Difference between "ball being snapped" and "ball moving", please?

From the center, what happens to the ball? It's hiked backwards. In what instance is it ever "snapped" but not moving...

Wtf.

The one that got me today was the UF punt returner. He fair catches then jumps into the UT player after a full second and guess what... no call for unsportsmanlike conduct. Just amazed me. This was as blatant of a foul as possible and yet no call.
