SEC GAME THREAD: (5) Georgia at (1) Texas, Sat. at 7:30pm on ABC

Right about the UGA win but way off about getting the calls. We’ll employ the “hurl crap on the field” strategy should our fans disagree with a call from now on.

 

Basically, as the SEC explained it, the ref "picked up his flag" because he admitted a mistake.There was no official "review".

That's hardly a new thing. We've all seen it before.

Interesting that such a big deal was made out of this call, which didn't affect the game at all.

Hmm...Kirby complains, and the SEC jumps.

 

Heir apparent to Nick in that regard.

 

The PI/non-PI episode was bananas. You've got:

• Interception almost run back for a TD, putting TX right back in the game
• Interception overturned due to a PI penalty
• Replay indicates that the GA player initiated contact and there was no PI
• Fans go nutz, throwing water bottles on the field in droves. Somehow there is no penalty (was there even a warning?) for that.
• Sark goes out to the fans pleading them to stop.
• During all the commotion, the refs huddle up and decide to do the "right" thing and reverse the penalty.

TX ends up scoring and making it an 8pt game, but as others noted, the episode did not determine the outcome of the game.

 

Reportedly, he didn’t attend the press conference today per usual.
