Sorry Vols fans, looks like this weekend has been decided (officials)

The UF-UT game where the ref called a one-way personal foul against UF after watching the UT player swing at our guy, and then not running clock when they should have and allowing UT to kick a winning FG, such that the SEC had to apologize and censure the crew, comes to mind as the obvious worst officiating in any sport, ever.

2000 Jabar Gaffney Phantom Catch.

2006 Roughing the Passer on Chris Leak called only after the pick-6..barely a hand to his head.

Don't even talk to me about blown calls in the UT-UF series.

This is pretty funny. You are making excuses for bad calls BEFORE they happen! At least wait until the game is over. I think Bama had every good punt return called back against S.C. If the officials wanted to affect the outcome, they could have ignored the penalties and the game would have been decided much sooner. Different crew but still doesn't conform to your conspiracy theory.

I think this is not so much whining prior to the event, but pointing out the ineptitude of the SEC officiating. At least that's how I feel about it.

Have you ever thought that perhaps the blocks in the back, clipping, or holding that they called on those punt returns were the only reasons you got such big returns?

If the SEC considers these guys the league's #1 crew, then we're going to get bad officating regardless of who's working the game.

Sure. If the refs wanted to affect the outcome, all they had to do was not make the calls. They didn't favor one team over the other. I hope the refs let the players decide this one.

The uf/arky game was ruined by this crew. Completely changed the outcome,anyone that can not see this is blind or a gator or better yet Mike Slive.

Putting aside for the moment the question of whether there were bad calls and whether if there were they affected the outcome, I have to at least take issue with the claim that they did it on purpose to help out UF in a concerted effort to create a UF-Ala matchup.

Two reasons: 1) You can't keep something like that secret. It would just kill the SEC and probably the game itself for awhile.

2) If their goal was to ensure a Florida W, they sure did take a lot of chances.

No conspiracy; just an inept officiating crew (or one with extremely bad luck lately). Questionable/judgment calls will happen. There is no excuse for seeing stuff that does not happen.

PS: On the calls that you were complaining about earlier during UT-UF games; how many times did the SEC issue statements saying they were wrong? Otherwise, there is no comparison.

Can you just go away and let us enjoy hating just Bama fans this week? There will be plenty of hate left for you later. Thanks in advance.

One instance that I have not heard anything about is on UF's game winning drive UF needed 10 yards for a first down Tebow goes down with an 8 yard gain,refs call first down. Look it up its on UF's last drive. Something was going on.

I do have to say I have not been more angered by a game that UT wasn't involved in, in a long time, than during the Ark/UF game last weekend. The refs blew the game, tebow, meyer, etc. The two calls on Florida's second to last drive were just ridiculous. Those guys should be suspended at best.

They talked about this on Around the Horn today. This officiating crew is definitely getting national attention. If they protect another SEC undefeated with BS calls in the 4th quarter America will be calling for their heads.

Honestly, this could work to our advantage.

Depends to some degree on which side of the stadium you are sitting on, I suppose. But it does seem to me that when the head of officiating runs screaming from the press box, trying to get the crew on the field to follow the basic, unequivocal rule to start the dang clock, they mess it up anyway, and then the SEC feels compelled to apologize, well, that sort of gives us Gators a leg up on the debate.

(I note, by the way, that the SEC has said this week that the personal foul call on Arky was not supported by the video, though it stands behind the judgment call as to the interference penalty, which is entirely appropriate)





When your two biggest rivals are the ones that you think are benefitting from the conspiracy my guess is you are suddenly wondering a whole lot more these days about JFK and Area 51.




See: clock should have run, no time to kick, Gators win, SEC apologizes. Even if you overlook the call on the personal foul, the clock was supposed to run and that is undeniable.

Florida had a 1st and goal on the 1 and got zero points out of it early in the second half of that game I believe. Florida fans always forget that trivial piece of information about that game.

This will be the most scrutinized officiating team in the country. There is no way they call anything against Tennessee out of fear of being called out.

If anything, this works in Tennessee's favor.

Hey Law (or any other Gator fan who cares to answer),

Do you want this officiating crew to call the SECCG?

They are about to talk about this crew on PTI after this commerciall break. I guess the SEC said that the personal foul penalty on ARK was the wrong call...REALLY?? Everybody knew that already
