The Patrick Peterson call was probably a bad call but calling it one of the worst is just dumb. It was really close and likely didnt make a bit of difference in the game

Bama was royally screwed by horrible calls in the 95 Arkansas game and 95 Iron Bowl.

The horrible calls cost Bama a win in both games.


Meh. It's not like it would have gained us anything anyway. We would have been 10-1 and unable to participate in the post-season. Even if we had been, Florida would have run us out of Atlanta.

That's guy should have been fired on the spot. He was obviously looking for the sticks twice before he set the ball and then kept sliding the ball up for a 1st down. It's officials like him that make you question how many crooked ones there really are. Bama fans couldn't even defend it and they rarely admit someone cheated for them.




Do you ever wonder why that gif doesnt actually show the play? Its because the spot was right. You can watch the whole play here

The fake Eric Reid interception in the GOTC.


This was actually the POTG in the GOTC.

Look at it, watch it. I know everyone on this board hates Eric Reid.

But that was one hell of a play.

2009 UF-Arkansas Game- whole crew suspended



This was epic.

I don't see how suspending the whole crew was the punishment. Should have been criminal investigation.

Oh, my God. I just can't believe I'm seeing this from an adult who I assume has watched or played football.

PI doesn't mean you can't touch the person.

This was the lightest of touches and both did it so briefly.

The WR should have been yellow-carded for flopping.

I can’t wait for Ohio State fans to seriously defend that pass interference call

It was a bad call. What people tend to forget is that there was an even more egregious call in the last couple of minutes of regulation. OSU was facing a third and 6 with 2:25 left in the game. Chris Gamble caught a pass on the sideline that was ruled incomplete. Replays not only showed that was he held twice on the play, but that his knee and hip were inbounds with possession of the ball. Had the correct call been made, OSU would have had the opportunity to end the game by picking up another first down or at least been able to run the clock to under 30 seconds before having to punt to Miami.

Tennessee got a break in the first game of the ‘98 season at Syracuse. Late in the fourth we were facing a fourth down and the pass from Tee was broken up by Will Allen of the cuse. Two closest officials waved incomplete, the back judge threw a flag. It wasn’t an outright terrible call, but if they had been Big East officials instead of an SEC crew, that call probably doesn’t get made. Season turned out pretty well.

The 2013 South Carolina Michigan first down call was the worst one I've ever seen.

AJ Green's TD catch and "excessive celebration" penalty against LSU. Didn't even realize who the penalty was on or what it was for until I watched the replay on TV a few days later.

That was a really awful call. Even worse than Jake Locker flipping the ball in the air after a late score.

Well the 11 other SEC teams got to share in the 10 million UF got for going to a BCS bowl so there's that.
