SEC Refs

The topic of the day huh? Of course it is. And it should be. How many calls have they blown? How often has this happened? It is not new to this year.

It is something that has happened for a long time in this conference. We are the best conference. We have the best coaches and players. Why should we settle for Pop Warner officials?

I am sick and tired of great games being overshawdowed by the calls of our officials.

The UGA-LSU was great. Both teams played hard. But yet...what was the leading story of that game? Calls by the refs.

The UF-Ark game...great game...but a cloud over it because of the refs.

The MSU-UF...great game...overshadowed by the bad calls of the refs.

The Bama-LSU game...one hell of a game. Players for both teams played so hard and played lights out. My team won. I should be happy...and to a degree I am. But what was the leading story? Was it McElroy having a good game? Was it Ingram having a good game? Was it Peterson shutting down a good Julio Jones...after suffering bad cramps? Was it Charles Scott having a good game? NO! It was the officials AGAIN!

Those players played too good to have their play overshadowed like that. That was an INT. No doubt. Not saying LSU would have scored (and I do not think they would have). But let the players have the chance. Let the players decide the outcome of the game.

For far too long the SEC refs have blown calls (I remember a certain no-call in a Bama-LSU game that benefited LSU...and it still angers me.). We need better. We deserve better. None of our games should ever have a taint on them. But, unless there is a change with our officials this will always be the case.

Slive, DO SOMETHING!
