re: BAMA athletic officials PRAISE SEC Officials!

"I think the commissioner has handled this very well, and I think Rogers Redding does an

outstanding job in handling the officials in this conference," athletic director Mal Moore said. "It's a very competitive conference, and I think the officials do an outstanding job.

"I feel very strongly that we have a great organization that supports officials and a strong commissioner that leads this conference."

Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban, also an outspoken advocate of SEC officials, agreed.

"I think Mike has done a wonderful job," Saban said. "This league is thriving, not only from an exposure standpoint ... of what the league is all about, what it stands for and what's been accomplished, but also financially and every other way."

This is just too funny. OF COURSE gumps are loving the refs and praising them (when the entire country thinks they suck arse). Hell, it is just like complimenting your fans as being the 12th man to help pull your team through in a tough game.
