Did anyone notice the utter contempt the ref showed Greedy Williams when he raised his hands in disbelief regarding the pass interference call?

Couldn't believe the announcers literally said: "Yep, the referees are clearly frustrated and ready for this game to be over."

Whether true or not that notion shows complete and utter disrespect to both teams and the sweat, blood and tears being left on that field.

It was their own damn fault. Game was over in regulation.

The hateful face he made at Greedy as he tossed off his hat spoke volumes. This ref might have some issues with people like Greedy. It stunk to high heaven.

Who knows what Williams actually said to him? That said, as a referee you have to understand the situation and be willing to keep your poise. Deadball unsportsmanlike penalties are ALL judgment calls. You as an official know that on essentially every play SOMEONE is going to be pissed at you. It's part of the job.

If you want to call an unsportsmanlike penalty early in the game to quickly put a end on trash talking, fighting, or disrespect to the official, fine. But to make that call in the 7th OT is ridiculous.

A similar deal happened in the Alabama/Auburn game. Auburn busts a 75 yard run to seemingly take an early lead. It's called back for a holding penalty (it probably was, but there have been far more egregious violations not called). Gus, understandibly, goes apoplectic. That was a huge emotional swing. The official then flags Gus for unsportsmanlike conduct? (a) that call is rarely made (at least without a warning first) and (b) in a game where HC's spend 60 minutes yelling at refs you decide THAT'S the time to "lay down the law?"

Auburn got "Birminghamed" just like Greedy did on the play in OT when the ball was uncatchable (IF that's a college rule.)

This ref should be fired. Looks like he wanted to change the “complexion” of the game. He’s definitely a hater.

LOL. I saw that on Twitter and laughed my arse off.

Poor Gus. He found out what happens if you have the audacity to play them close. I saw the penalty too. Yeah, that call NEVER gets made against Bama. However, Frick Auburn as that call will only be made against them if they are playing Bama.

There was also a missed taunting incident after A&M scored a 2 pt conversion. The WR got up got in the DB's face as he was on the ground. He was clearly taunting like the call against LSU @Arkansas. Not sure how it would be enforced in an OT after a 2 pt conversion though.

Don't know what Greedy said, probably not anymore than other players have said, but it scared the ref when Greedy clapped his hands, that's what made him mad.

They figured they could hand aTm the game and once and we would cave in. They didn’t expect us to fight for it, win it 4 times, and them have to continue bailing aTm out.

Like what? Black? There were several more blacks on the field that didn't get treated in ways that "spoke volumes."
You mean LSU player? See above and replace with "LSU player"
You mean DB's? See above and replace with "DB"
You mean confident, arrogant, cocky, mouthy? See above and replace with pretty much everyone on the field
Do you know what was said to the ref? Do you know if the ref had warned Greedy before that if he did "x" again, he would get penalized? Do you know anything other than sitting in your living room, watching TV and assuming the worst?
