Is Penn Wagers the most worthless sack of crap employed by the SEC?

Chuck Dowdle mentioned on 680 this morning that, before the coin toss, Wagers put his arms around both captains and said, "Boys, it don't get much better than this."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is Wagers not supposed to be an impartial observer? I get that it's a cool setting, but isn't he supposed to at least give the impression that he is checking his emotions at the door of his job? Instead, he hams it up with the players before the game and then does this with Richt (as observed by Blutarsky):

Wagers steps into an argument with Richt, which is bad, but then steps back into it after Richt turns away to continue complaining, admittedly in a heated way, to another official. The sense of satisfaction when Wagers throws the flag is almost palpable. It’s also inexcusable. It’s supposed to be the official’s responsibility to calm the waters, not to stir them even more. Well, at least if you’re referring to competent officials, it is.
The other bizarre thing I noticed was the number of times Georgia players tried to lobby Wagers after he’d thrown a flag. You see players asking officials to call penalties routinely, but discussing calls with a referee after they’re made isn’t the usual thing. You tell me what that indicates.

Worst crew in the conference, bar none.

Plus the sorry shite missed holding on Ray Drew on the "Miracle" play.

He should have never touched Richt after he turned his back to yell at the other official. He stuck his face back into the argument and then threw the flag.
Reminds me of the Vandy game when the ref had his flag out before Drew hit the QB....

However, I would like to add that Richt should not wait until the end of the season to show his emotions...that obviously was a tipping point after a brutal season, but why not start this intensity in Aug

Seeing yet another iteration of "Evil Richt," I have to wonder just how much more of all this the poor guy can take. I've never seen a more emotional CMR through the course of the season. It still wouldn't shock me to see him retire at the end of the season. (It would certainly explain the emotion after what seems like every game).

Let's not forget Marc Curles.

I think he has shown more emotion this season, but I know he's always try to remove his emotions from the game as best as possible to make sure he focuses on what is going on on the field, and also to lead by example. Calm coaches tend to make calm players, and you have to admit that our guys have been ice cold in their 4th quarter comebacks this season, at least on offense.
I think he just reached his limit with the garbage the officials have given us this season.

I'm glad Wagers and Richt had that scuffle. I think it fired him up and therefor got us back into the game. Would love to see more "Evil Richt"

^^THIS. Probably the most blatant hold of the game on the most watched play. Unreal how you miss THAT one?? The checking account at Auburn needs to be researched from before and after this game.

They must have gotten Scam Newton paid off. So now they can start paying the refs off again
Posted on 11/18/13 at 9:59 am to LedDawgK
And my auburn friends are fricking convinced that WE paid off the refs. Holy shite. It's fricking delusion.
Does anyone have a picture of the "recovery" that pissed Richt off so much?

Hell, just watch the absolute helmet to helmet hit on Murray on the last play of the game that should have had Dee Ford sitting the first half of Bama. This was the second helmet shot on Murray by the way. Earlier he was hit int he back of his helmet after releasing a pass. Not to mention there is now a picture of Murray at the goalline with the knee clearly up still, one hand on the goal line, and wait for it, an Auburn player pulling MUrray across the goalline by his facemask.
I literally think I lost the rest of my religion after this game.
