SEC Refs@#%$#@?

[razorbrass]

I can't believe how crappy the SEC refs are.  If you saw the last 1:00 of the SEC Championship game you saw a seasons worth of bad calls. And these are the best officials in the conference?  Can't anyone do something about this?  Could we swap with another conference for the tournament?  Would any conference even swap with us?  Grrrrr!!! 

[Wayne Watson]

Would any conference even swap with us?

Agreed!  to answer your question, "Hell, no".

[Smokehouse]

That last minute was awful, and the last ten seconds should get them all fired.

[Hog Milanese]

That last 9.6 seconds (in game time) of officiating was atrocious. It seemed absolutely random and haphazard.

"Whoops! We made a bad call! ... Rather than admit to it, let us make yet another ** call but for the opposing team's benefit!"

[Table Rocker]

the worst part is that is probably the 'best crew' we have considering they were assigned the championship game.

[HOGSWEAT]

It was sad all the way around. One of the worst I've seen recently.

The last 4 days, I've seen plenty of questionable calls in all of the conference tournaments that I've watched.  It appears that the SEC is not alone.  The Big East, ACC & Big 12 have all had some very questionable calls or no calls throughout their tournaments as well.

Well watching the game today had a seasons worth compiled into about a 10 minute stretch.

That blew my mind.  I could not actually believe what I was seeing.  The last 5 minutes (I mean 9.3 seconds) was atrocious officiating at best. 

[HogBreath]

It was terrible, the SEC office needs to get their heads out of asses and get busy fixing this.  Do the different schools have no input?  A director of officials or someone to forward complaints too?  Seems reasonable enough the SEC PTB's would want to avoid the embarassment.  I just don't get it.

[N HOG]

It was the worst I have ever seen.

They kept trying to do "makeup calls" for their previous mistakes and then got totally confused and lost all control.

But, then again, it was basically just SEC officiating on display.

[HogBreath]

Was it just me, or if the game had been called right, MSU would have won pretty easily?

[N HOG]

That is correct.

The absolute worst call was when the Misstake player was pushed out of bounds and they gave TENN the ball.

[BigSexyHog]

Same story just a different day with the SEC refs.

[lovetthog1]

The SEC officials have always been a freakin joke.

[Wild Bill Hog]

Don't most officials officiate games in more than one conference?

[Table Rocker]

LSU got a sh!tty draw too.

[ICEman]

Let's throw the clock operator under the bus as well.

[N HOG]

Let's throw the clock operator under the bus as well.

Why?

He only forgot to start the clock THREE times in the last 10 seconds -- that's not so bad, is it?

I hate your avatar.  Makes me want to go the Taco Tico.

I am not sure what the heck he was doing or thinking but if anyone lets him near the game clock again they should be fired on site.  I can see it once, but 3 times in a row??  Only in the SEC

[LRMedHawg]

I don't think so.  Thats why you here all the talk when scheduling out of conference games about which conference refs are going to be coaching either the home or away game.  And remember the OU-Oregon game when the Pac-10 suspended those refs.

[LRMedHawg]

That is correct.

I thought that was one of the few good no calls.  Tha guy barely got bumped and was seeking the foul.  Did you watch the replay where he was looking at the ref the entire time.  The worst call was when the Prince started running with the ball like a runningback and they called a foul on MissStake.

The Head of Officials is guess what, a former SEC Official who will do whatever he has to do to protect his little buddies out there

That's in football only in response to your statement about the OU-Oregon game.  In basketball many officials work SEC, ACC, Big East, Conference USA, Sun Belt.  They will have a "primary" conference and that conference gets first shot at them when assigning games.  Many of these officials go out on the road and work every night of the week within all those conferences. 
And YES, that was completely terrible the last minute of that game.  Complete loss of control and Phantom calls being made.  In reference to the clock operator, am I wrong when I say this.  Don't the officials start the clock themselves with a device they wear on their waist?  I have been out of officiating for awhile now but I am under the impression that they now have that device just for such problems as the clock deal at the end of the game yesterday.

[ALLVOL]

The worst ever officiating is in the SEC both in football and BB. We are the richest yet we have the worst. Its a shame.
