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.

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

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

LINK

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

Every LSU game. It's like a 14 vs 11 matchup with the refs playing for LSU's opponent. More like 17 vs 11 if you count the replay booth, or even 19 vs 11 if you count the announcers who insist the bad calls were correct.

Signed, every LSU fan

The Arkansas/UF 2009 game stands out because it wasn't just one bad call, but a series of them.

Many games have one blown call that fans remember and get upset about, however that game Arkansas got raked over the goals by the refs the whole game, and 2-3 times terribly in the 4th quarter when it's clear the game was seriously in doubt.

Florida was on the wrong side of another infamous game themselves, the 2003 FSU/UF game (the Swindle in the Swamp). There were multiple blown calls, all very egregious, all very game impacting, and all went FSU's way.

The important distinction is that there's a difference between simple the worst calls ever vs. worst games ever, which involve games that had an avalanche of bad calls.

Ole Miss was playing at Alabama in 2011 or 2012 and the officials picked up an obvious intentional grounding flag ... Blatantly obvious grounding penalty on the QB... Loss of down and spot of the foul... Instead, The official said these words as he waved the flag off "There is no flag for intentional grounding on the play, the receiver ran the wrong route." I can watch college football games every single Saturday all day long for the next 50 years and I'll never see that happen again ... It was the most ridiculous explanation I've ever seen in all my years of watching football.

Dude tracks Garcia down, then lowers the BOOM!

I was going to post with this game before I even opened the thread.

That was downright awful to watch.
