All the slick double talk doesn’t mean shite when the entire nation can easily see the refs (and the replay process believe it or not) are complete garbage.

Btw, I'll try to explain what I mean by indicators.
When you are a ref in game, you need to know the rules, but enforcing the rules means you need to look for indications the rule has been broken, or what happened.
I learned this at an early age when asked to be a 1st base umpire in baseball. Of course the rule is clear, the runner has to make it to the base before the ball is caught with the first baseman or he is out.
But the way you judge that is NOT exactly based on the rule. You look visually at the 1st base to see when the person set foot on the base, and then you listen for when the ball is caught with your ears. Those are the indicators. You can often see it, but when it's close that is what you will be told to do.
And the refs in a game are doing the same types of things, looking for indicators.

Sankey looks like a Penn State pedophile.

This is especially the case with holds and pass interference, which gets compounded by the fact they are somewhat judgment calls.
Hence the problem. Dude, I normally like your posts.
On this ? You are 100% wrong.
Because this game is entirely "subjective" now. Hence the old sayings, from folks like you, that "they could call holding on every play".
Then call holding on every play. Either its a rule, or it is not.

Heck, at least he didn't sue your university and then refuse to drop it when other SEC presidents voted to drop it.

Stankey is an obnoxious and overbearing F Yankee. He has that look like he always smells shite.

Nah, I don't agree with that saying. Holding doesn't happen near as often as people think.
You might could call more than get called now if you called it on people away from the play when it didn't have an affect on the outcome of the play, but that's not going to be all that many more. I'm fine either way really, but I don't think it will improve the quality of the game or fix any issues with bad calls.
Like with holds, feet are a major indicator. If you are flat footed or planted without your feet moving, that's an indicator of a hold. Not the only indicator, but that is what refs look for. Feet moving/driving forward into the player is likely not to get called because that also means they aren't behind the person.
And hands is all about when you put them there and what the blockers position is to the player. You can put your hands in a place at once spot and you don't have to move them unless the defender gets beyond/behind you. Then it becomes the hook. Before then it's just good hand placement.
Another indicator is when the defender is being jerked or turned etc. And that usually happens when the above indicators are ticking also.
A lot of what people call holds are really just good play by the lineman. And a good O-Line coach knows how to maximize it.
Also they can't see it all. I wouldn't be opposed to a ref who watches the broadcasts and throws a flag based on what they saw.
Overall I just want good calls made. I think part of that is understanding the calls myself otherwise I'm just randomly assigning good and bad calls based on if it helped or hurt my team.

Fire Sankey!

So tired of this corporate cuck. He so damn arrogant. Fans need to start pressuring their schools to get rid of this clown. He’s made the conference worse.

I watched the video.
I am still siding with Sankey versus LSU

You can tell he's getting dangerously close to kicking Mizzou out for excessive crying, resulting in unwanted and invalid scrutiny on this great conference.

Tennessee onside kick at end of game against Texas, they admitted incorrect. They sometimes admit mistakes.

The SEC admitted that Tennessee’s successful onside kick against Texas on September 26, 2026, was incorrectly officiated and should have been penalized.
Thinking about it, Texas gets robbed by the refs alot in this bush league.

You sure you're referring to Sankey?

Florida signed off on a renovation that costs 1.4 billion dollars.
I am guessing they are cozy with their current arrangement.
Any SEC schools not happy rn?
