Skipper Penalty Irritates Me

[Hawgphish]

Where did that call come from? In a game decided by one point, every call is crucial.  That was a complete fabricated call. 

[WarPig88]

It was bogus and exactly why players need to guard their reputations on the field.

Skipper has a rep as being dirty right now. That was a result of that rep.

[Porkys Revenge]

It's a good thing he changed to 63. That ole #76 was just bad luck. Sophomore move by the coaching staff.

Pen Wagers, Freaking Pen Wagers.

I liked the announcer's comment. "What was offsetting about that?!"

[hog911]

We had ample opportunity to capitalize on Bama's mistakes. Officiating didn't lose the game for us. We simply don't know how to win in the SEC right now. From what I have seen of Georgia against Mizzou we won't break our streak of moral victories this weekend either! See integrity.

Though the refs didn't cost us the game (we did that to ourselves) there were a lot of bad calls/decisions on their part. Skipper penalized for getting pushed, CBB in the middle of the field trying to call a timeout and not getting it, the clock running at the end of the game after the penalty (which-as some have looked in the rulebook and seen) is blatantly not how the rules work.

I'm sure we'll be sending some tapes to the SEC offices. I just don't understand how we (the SEC) have such bad refs year in and year out. I get that no one is perfect, and in this case at least it didn't cost anyone the game, but most of these refs have shown incompetence season after season, and too many games have been decided on their incompetence. It's beyond ridiculous

Well,of course it was Skipper is a Sophomore. 

[Hawgphish]

No, the officials did not lose the game for us.  But somewhere during the officials conference, they saw something that did not happen.  That is frustrating.

Yep. I didn't realize he had changed his number to the same as Day of Miss State until yesterday. The guy that was caught stomping on opposing players. Maybe the ref thought it was him.

Either way, to see something that wasn't there lends itself to prejudice to me.

[hogcard1964]

Wagers didn't make that call. It was the fat a$$ he was conversing with.

[bigred223]

People can say the refs didn't lose the game. Yes, we had other chances to win, but if that penalty is called on Alabama instead of offsetting, or if BB gets the timeout, the game could have changed drastically.

[NuttSu]

Don't kid yourselves... Every bad call will cost you in close games.

[007 License To Squeal]

I didn't see ANY action by Skipper which should have warranted a personal foul call.  However, the Bama player very clearly should have gotten the flag........can someone explain what really happened?

[three hog night]

the Bama players were trying to bait him into fights all night.  He did a great job of resisting, but I also think it took away his spirit.

[hogpc]

You should be an SEC ref...

[Dark Helmet Hog]

Skipper got ripped.

I hope that series is one that gets sent to the SEC office for review.

[Lanny]

Skipper didn't do anything

[onebadrubi]

There many questionable things in that game, the largest being the skipped screw job on that call which we needed that 15 to get some momentum

[Pigdiana Jones]

That's standard operating procedure for Penn Wagers, Marc Curles, Mike Slime and the rest of his piss poor officials. No amount of cursing, yelling and screaming will ever change the fact that they suck. Of course, that doesn't stop me from doing all these things when they happen.

i agree

[dhornjr1]

I liked the announcer's comment. "What was offsetting about that?!"

The answer to that is "Alabama was ranked #7 with one loss and Arkansas was unranked with two losses".

That's what was offsetting about it.

Uh yeah, he didn't say the refs cost us the game.

So they can make sure that Wagers get his bonus check for the week?

[swinesation]

Agree that was a bogus call. I can't remember the situation there. Can anybody remind me where we were, what quarter, the score? We definitely should have gotten 15 yards on that play - no doubt about it. Even the TV announcer saw that.
