I am trying to recall the greatest hits of the front office protecting it's cash cows. What's the worst game/calls you've seen?
I know we like to jab at Bama but here is my nomination -

Tom Ritter, SEC Offices, Birmingham, fixed for Bama, blah blah, blah 
That pretty much covers what will be said in this thread.

Well here is your turn to post up some of those screwings... seeing as I lead off with a game not involving Alabama.

The penalty on AJ Green in the 09 LSU-UGA game was awful. As was the attempted make up call. Stole that game
ETA Holy shite it was the same crew as Arky/UF, just watched the Green video and never realized that

AJ Green v LSU
Yeah that was a terrible call. No fun or emotion allowed in the game of football, srs business.

I am still sure to this day that the ref who hit Garcia when we were against LSU had money on the game. That was a pivotal down and we might have come out on top were it not for that.
ETA: I know we scored on that drive but still wtf was he thinking.

Worst one involving an SEC team, Florida vs Iowa 2006 Outback Bowl

It included the worst call of all-time where they called face mask on the wrong player:
And they ended the game by reversing an onside kick recovery by calling an offsides that didn't happen:
ETA
and those are just 2 of several bad calls highlighted in the video I linked

If we are going that route, that doesn't come anywhere close to 2003 UF-FSU - The Swindle in the Swamp. The entire game was impacted right from the start.
quote:
Kirk Herbstreit: I don't know where you live but everywhere I have turned this week, Jeremy Foley the AD at Florida and Dave Hart the AD at FSU have been quoted since the end of that game. Every national analyst and talking head from one time to another has had an opinion about how horribly officiated that game was. We can't go back and change the 5 or 6 blown calls that affected the outcome of that game. I said after the game Sat. night that was the best game in college football this year, but unfortunately it was also the worst officiated game I have seen all year. I don't know if I can ever recall so many game-changing blown calls. If you are a Florida fan, I feel for you .. but at this point, I don't know if anything can be done.
quote:
Mike Lopresti of USA today : "The ACC head of officiating said Sunday he will study the tape. Just like bank officials do after a robbery."
quote:
Stewart Mandel of SI : "I've always made fun of the NFL's clunky instant-replay system, which delays the game a good 10 minutes every time a coach decides to throw his silly flag, which most of the time seems to come on a play he's got almost no chance of reversing. Therefore, as you can probably guess, I've always scoffed at the idea of instant replay in college. Let the kids decide the game on the field. However, the officiating in Saturday's Florida State-Florida game was so overwhelmingly bad, so costly to one of the participants, that I can't help but rethink my stance. Normally bad calls have a way of evening themselves out over the course of a contest, but not this time.
quote:
Lee Corso interviewed 12/11 on how ACC Refs prove we need instant replay: "They need to have instant replay in the Sugar Bowl this year. After seeing what happened in the Florida State-Florida game, we cannot afford to have incompetency be a part of the national championship game.
quote:
Miami Herald: There is no instant replay in college football, so Florida had to accept each call. Had the five calls gone the other way, Florida likely would have won in a rout. Two of the Seminoles' fumbles occurred just before they scored touchdowns (14 points), and a Florida fumble was recovered and returned for a score (seven points). Subtract 21 points and FSU is left with 17 points. Also, the Gators were in a position to return two fumbles for touchdowns (14 points), and a third would have given them field position to kick a field goal (three points). Add 17 points to UF's total, and the final score would have been Florida 51, Florida State 17.

The SEC just has bad officiating because this is a part time job at best. Refs are treated as being privileged just for being to get into the games without having to buy a ticket.
Make it a full time job with true training and accountability, and the problem is going to go away.

Wow, what a shite call. I do love how the Vanderbilt player got up and celebrated his arse off even though he clearly never even caught the ball. You know he was thinking "what the frick" the whole time he was celebrating.

Whoa!
Some really good stuff popping up on here, keep it coming.
Now that I think back to it, the year with the A.J. Green call. That year may have been the worst I've ever seen in the SEC as far as officiating goes.

Is Saban not the head of officiating for the NCAA.
Yep he sure is. Head coach of Alabama, head of officiating for NCAA, and Master of the Universe.
