Has an impact on how the refs treat us specifically in big games.

I know everyone watched the 2012 SEC Championship and the 2017 championship and probably felt like we were getting the rough end of a poorly called game....again.

Hoped Richt leaving would exorcise that demon. I never want Austin's crew again.

I wondered if CKS complaint about calls in the last AU game caused some blowback.

Some of the shot calls we had were was bad.

I felt like Gary dropping on a national broadcast that Kirbs sent in tapes to complain might have hurt us today



Doesn’t matter we beat the cat shite out of them

Yeah, that 2012 game was 12-1 calls in favor of Bama and we lost barely. I feel like after that Florida game we struggle having evenly called games.

I don't think anyone outside of UGA and UF teams have thought about that in years.

Don't forget about the Vandy screw job in '13 and
SC and UF in '14...Hubert Owens did both of the '14 games.

I don't think that there was ever a conspiracy but it seemed like league officials were subconsciously biased after that stunt. I figured that Richt leaving would wipe the slate clean but maybe not.

I prefer to just chalk up the bad calls to luck. I did see at least one bad call that went in our favor.

Got the 12 men on the field call later as well but procedural calls aren't something the refs can really rig or have a bias against. Holding unless obvious is very subjective. A lot of subjective calling going in one teams favor gets irritating. I'm fine with calling it as long as both teams are being looked at and i'm also fine with letting the play. The pass interference call on the interception was the right call, our guy grabbed his mask running by. I totally get that call but some of the others made me mad as shite when they showed the replay. Very frustrating.

For the most part of this game, the refs were really screwing UGA over. They were being so so picky on what they were calling. However that late hit by Auburn that they got flagged for, was some bullshite too. But after that call that went our way, it seemed the refs eased up on us and started going after Auburn. But up until that point, the refs were fricking us over BIG TIME! They were making such shitty calls, and Auburn was holding all game long. Did they even get called for a holding?




There were a lot more blatant holds as well that weren't called.

I want to call you crazy, I really do.


But seriously this EXACT thought went through my head yesterday. I mean the refs from ND to tech to last night we’re clearly in favor of the other team. I honestly don’t really understand anyone saying they weren’t. Even someone saying “yeah they sucked and got a lot of calls wrong” STILL has to admit they got them wrong for one side WAY more than the other. Something is messed up with the whole thing.

We can't let games be close or we're gong to get hosed. It really makes me nervous going into the playoffs.

To be fair the refs were pretty good in this game...

In the 4th quarter when they realized we beat Vegas and they couldn't do anything about it.

Sucks to be them today... probably being paid a visit by the mob...
