I am an official of 34 years and I saw the same thing you saw. I think his knee came down first and then it touched down again. That was not a fumble. I think they may have seen what we both sex and and correctly ruled him down.

There appeared to be a hold in the touchdown play, but it was an easy play to miss if you are blocked out or are pout position. The play broke down and it can cause you to be out of position.

Of course, I will never convince the ignorant on this board of which there is a substantial amount and basically fans of any team that there is not a preanned bias out there just like the idiots on the Arkansas board who said the same thing about the game in Sunday.

We officials have way too many responsibilities to be planning an outcome of a particular game and we have too much to lose y doing so, but I will never get the masses of the ignorant to understand such, especially since most have never put on a striped shirt.

I expect paid officials to do their job and do it well. That is all. I expect calls to be consistent through out the individual games and through out the league.

If you say that sec doesn't have an officiating problem, not bias, but habitual bad officiating, you are blind and shouldn't ref sports.

Yet officials get caught point shaving and betting on games.

No wonder you're such a miserable arse. You're a referee. Makes perfect sense now

Just because you officiated with integrity (on your word) does not mean that all officials do. There have been instances in the past citing instances where officials with gambling addictions, debts, etc. became involved with mafia members and purposefully blew calls to tilt the game in one direction or another. There was an interview from a former head of the mafia, of old age and made it out, who wrote a tell all book admitting to such. It is especially easy in basketball, by calling or withholding fouls and/or sending a player to the bench or to the free throw line.

The fact that you blindly assume the officials are never corrupt is more ignorant than your accusations of the "ignorant of this board...just like the idiots on the Arkansas board."

Most people have their price, whether it be the carrot or the stick. The referees with integrity may try to pass on the bribe, but more often than not they have some past, or something to lose. Bribes, blackmails, threats...

These aren't unsubstantiated conspiracies, there are records of convictions of corrupt officials. The police have a division called internal affairs, and the government hss a committee on oversight and government reform. Unfortunately, these entities are prone to the same type of coercion.

Perhaps you defend your profession because of human error and intense scrutiny, which is fine; but to call others ignorant in the face of tangible evidence of past and potential concurrent corruption is downright ignorant. I would count yourself lucky to have officiated 34 years, which just further proves how inadequate the system is to give someone such as yourself with such blatant hubris and a glaring blind spot accrued seniority.

You like apples?
