The thing about the goal line call is either it’s an Auburn TD or a Georgia TD.

All other outcomes were impossible.

Depends on when the play was called dead.

Would like to see the list. 9 of the 11 were valid apparently. That is a wild %.

Has this ever happened before?

I think well get some sports betting leaks on this. Georgia was clearly the favorite and exactly when it seemed Auburn was going to run away with it, things got fishy quick.

The season is toast anyway so I'm curious how far Auburn pushed the SEC to make this happen?

I remember a crew being suspended before, its been a while though, I want to say during the Chizik era. I don't think it was a permanent thing, like a week or two though. I can't recall anything like this happening before.

Sorry bastard should have been fired long ago, but I'm sure this helps everyone who is close to being fired sleep better at night.

This has vibes of they investigated him personally and found something not on the up-and-up. Hard to believe they’d take such extreme action over what happened on the field.

Sounds like sports gambling to me. I don't think I ever heard of an SEC ref being fired.

It's almost as if SEC officiating is testing the Gaslight option this season to see if they can take blatantly obvious outcomes and say, "What you saw isn't what happened."
Auburn's offense is bad enough to frick itself without help from the refs.

At least someone is being held accountable for Freeze's failures.

And I just saw that Deuce Knight removed all AU from his social media. Maybe it's nothing.

Well that's probably not nothing, he probably wants to go somewhere where he can wear #2

Point shaving for big bucks is a temptation for refs and players.

Except if there were an inadvertent whistle.

Now an inadvertent whistle would also have been an officiating error there but, even so, if an official blows the whistle the play is dead (even if it shoudn’t have been).

For now this is still the only publication that is reporting this suspension, so there might be some hesitation to know if this is fully true
