His business Loeffler Supply is in Texas.

His son graduated from Texas.

His decision to overturn the unreviewable PI to the benefit of Texas after Texas fans showed their anger is sus as hell.

How many customers or clients was he thinking about losing had he followed through with the original, unreviewable call? Currently, all his company’s social media are down.

The SEC cannot allow this Texas businessman to ref Texas games.


This was a huge issue in the Big XII... The number of officials who were from Texas and had ties to Texas programs was pretty significant compared to the number of officials in other states in the conference.

Just find me a crew in the SEC who can call a holding penalty and I am happy.

Now - imagine the same thing happened in Sanford Stadium and all of the similar calls were in favor of Georgia.

The head ref lives in Georgia, his business is in Georgia, his brother and his son graduated from Georgia.

In his picture wearing his zebra shirt he has a Georgia helmet on the wall behind him.

Yeah, I'm sure Longhorn fans would be fine with it.

Believe it or not, I have no problem if he's banned from doing our games. No, not because he lives in Texas (he went to TCU btw) but because he's a horrible official. The call was a bad one, nobody can convince me otherwise...but you gotta stick with it on a non-reviewable call. You don't spot the ball, get both teams ready to go and then change the call...you just don't.

I'd rather the players themselves call the game

I think this idiot should never ref any game again. He’s terrible

He should be fired for ultimately getting the call right.

I remember last year hearing about two games where the refs pulled enough shite that it helped Texas win. I believe the game against University of Houston was one of them.

He sounds like one of those guys too dumb to get into Texas or A&M and ended up at TCU by default. That's one thing I've noticed since living in Texas is that there are tons of dudes who went to lesser colleges in Texas that walk around pretending to be a Texas alum. I've never understood rooting for another college over the one you attended. I'd never root for Miami, FSU, UCF, etc. I had a neighbor a few years ago who was a huge Texas fan even though he went to SFA. Big Longhorn flag on his flag pole out front, man room decked out in Longhorn decorations. Longhorns stickers all over his truck. The weird thing is he'd never stepped foot on the Texas campus and had never even been to Austin.

fine by me

Let’s hire and train 100 Germans who don’t give a shite who wins.. they just want their paycheck to keep coming..

They get graded each game and if they score bad, they are out. Keep them locked underground without internet too.. but give them all the hookers and blow they want..

Win/win

My buddy got married for a second time about 10 years ago. Blonde that was a cheerleader at University of Houston. Was at their house and she backed out of the drive in her BMW. On the back of it was one of those chrome Longhorn emblems. I asked my buddy and he said she wanted people to think she went there instead of UH. That’s weird.

There is a reason former Alabama QB and SEC head ref David Smith does not referee Alabama games.

Most egregious officiating was Arky v Florida in the Swamp. Dennis Johnson was dragging his nuts on Florida, but Tebow was bailed out by miracle penalties for the game winning drive. Absolute hose job.

Seems they have either: gotten worse and relying on IR to bail them out or the athleticism has outpaced their capabilities

Google the guy who called the PI penalty be A&M in the Texas game from 2011.

Dude is literally wearing a Longhorn sweatshirt in social media
