re: SEC permanently suspends Ken Williamson after Auburn-Georgia review

Too little, too late. SEC officiating has arguably cost Auburn two games. These actions by the conference mean nothing.

It’s like when a corrupt criminal CEO of a Wall Street enterprise finally gets caught and goes away. Some other unscrupulous piece of shitt is there waiting in the wings

Article says 9 of 11 complaints were validated by SEC officials. Anybody have the full list?

The fumble at the goal line has to be one. should have been a Georgia TD

Auburn did clap and deserved a penalty, but Kirby clearly wasn't clapping. The motion was clearly a Timeout.

If they'd have penalized Auburn 5 yards and refunded the timeout, that would be a believable call

The issue is they fricked up calls and when they took a frick ton of time reviewing them, they were still fricked up just differently fricked up.

Both are true. The defensive player clapped. Kirby clapped.

Many Auburn fans have argued that since the Auburn player clapped before the snap and Georgia didn’t react thar it was legal. The poster I was responding to here made that argument. Many people do not seem to realize defensive players can not clap on the field any more. That seems to be what Kirby was so wound up about. It seems this crew also did not know about that rule change.

I think you can still clap, but the timing and such matters. It has to mess with the snap count. If there is no snap count going on, how can you mess with it?

“According to sources”

I hope it’s true, but do we have any confirmation that they’ve been suspended?

This - until I hear it elsewhere, I am not believing it. The other sites only refer to the information found in this article and no other sources

Took a TD for UGA off the board.

My dude, that is why that whole situation was so fricked up. Either Auburn scored a TD by getting the ball over the plane of the Georgia end zone or a Georgia defender forced a fumble short of the goal line that was picked up by another Georgia defender that was never down and ran into the Auburn end zone without the play being blown dead.

By the action on the field, that play should have been reviewed to have been a TD for one team or the other after the 10 minutes they looked over it.

without the play being blown dead.

It was blown dead. You can argue if it should or shouldn't have been blown dead, but it was blown dead.

What game was that?

It was. The ref's were pulling players off of the pile to try and find where the ball was before the UGA player had even made it past the 30.

While not really explained well, the ruling basically after the review was since the the play was blown dead, the ball gets placed at the earliest clear point of possession recovery post turnover, since they did not overturn the turnover called on the field.

Arugment can be made of should they have blown it dead, but since they did not know where the ball was, blowing the play dead is the right move if they believe the ballcarrier to be down.
