OT: SEC officiating reared its ugly head in UGA/UT game

[18IsTheMan]

Have read a lot from various outlets how the SEC and ESPN seemed to have a clear agenda in this game.

Someone put together a compilation of all the bad calls that went in UGA's favor. Didn't watch them all, but how in the world was this not a fumble? Catches the ball, secures it, takes 2 steps, then the ball gets knocked out. It wasn't even reviewed, which seems odd to me. It's certainly close enough that I think a review would have been warranted. Even live speed, it looks clearly like a fumble.

SEC officiating is unprofessional and that's giving them a compliment.

Never seen a call against TN that I have disagreed with.

Just my opinion here but - that's not a fumble. The process, in order, - you have to catch it, you have to secure it, and then take steps or make a football move....

In the video, he didn't FINISH the process of securing it... but it was bigly close. Also, I hate TN. With a passion. I hate bad calls worse though. It was close though.

Yeah, that's what announcer said. It sure looks secure enough to me. I mean he had it tucked up against his body and had take one full step.

I try to look at calls as "how would I feel if that was call was made against us".

He possessed it unconvincingly.

I don’t blame the refs. It was clear that the SEC is trying to do whatever it takes to get the most amount of teams in. The refs are getting a bad rep for it though. It’s 100% Greg Sanky

My apologies, they are professional goons hired by the SEC to do their dirty work.

When I saw the cheesy false start penalty we got when we were about to derail Tebow and those on their way to their second national championship, I knew then that somebody's thumb was on the scales.

Someone needs to define "football move". He catches the ball, lands on one foot while maintaining control of the ball, turns and takes a step with the other foot while maintaining control of the ball.
