    Is he a LSU alum? I have seen the video but hadn't heard that.

    Unreal. Any other questions concerning why you never want SEC refs.

    Holy crap! That's not going to be good for college football.

    Check out this line from one of the posts on the YT:

    I doubt he did that on purpose. It looks really bad however looks can be decieving. Also how does he go down with that hit?

    That forearm looked pretty purposeful man. He could have easily froze or side-stepped left, but he didn't.

    So your saying he ISNT an LSU alum?

    Sounds like you have an axe to grind to me... Anychance we can have the title redone if he isnt? That IS very misleading


    Oh and yeah, hopefully that guy isnt doing anymore college games. That is completely and totally uncalled for. Rediculous..

    OT: Any chance we can sign the guy after he is fired from being a ref? He tracked the kid pretty nicely, squared his shoulders and didnt lead with his helmet. Better technique than most of our current linebackers. :wink2:

    :lol: oh my god, i hadn't seen this before, thats just insane! It sure looks to me like the ref is trying to bring him down on purpose. the way he kind of lunges into him and gives him the forearm sure looks more like he's trying to hit him, instead of getting out of the way. Thats crazy

    I saw it live. It was a horrible play. The SEC needs to suspend him. Intent or not... they need to make a statement.

    This has no sound, but the slow-mo is also from a different angle at one point...he leaves his feet to use his shoulder...not exactly attempting to get out of the way is he??

    I believe I said that because he knocked down the USC QB therefore helping LSU. I have no "axe to grind".

    Still puts a forearm on him. Ive seen Refs dodge players with less room to work with.

    ESPN just covered the story, he is a former Kentucky LB/FB....hahahahaha

    They mentioned an "official" with the league or of refs in general, stated "he was in the proper position, and simply defended himself once the ball carrier switched direction and caused him to enter the refs space!

    Oh, I would seeing both angles he is ABSOLUTELY tracking the player and going in for the kill. Maybe as he was kindve sandwiched he felt a HIT or be HIT mantallity come on.

    Typical "SECSpeak". I was watching the baseball game and for once wasn't watching ESPN game on Saturday night. Did USC score a TD or did they have to settle for a FG attempt on the drive ? If it cost them a TD, then the man has to fired.

    edit: No they did get the TD... Play by Play Right before half...

    The QB you mean? Well, I don't think he expected the ref to go after him. I think any QB would've been caught off guard to have the ref knock you around

    I think it was hit or get hit. His natural instinct took over and he layed the wood. I saw it live as well. Im not sure about a suspension. Tough way to make a highlight though.

    Then no harm, no foul. But the ref still needs to suspended for the rest of the year in the least, if not let go for good. Just unacceptable.

    No. I'm sure it's like this in every conference, but the SEC prohibits alumni from officiating the alum's games.

    I'm personal friends with Wally Hough, an X Gator lineman and business man here in Palatka, who also is an SEC Ref.

    The SEC will not let him anywhere near a Gator game as a Ref.

    Correct, this ref is an alum of Kentucky. He was a former LB/FB for them.

    I know. I watched the game. The commentators informed us of that right after the incident.

    I think the ref experienced a brain fart and the old linebacker emerged. Do you think if for some reason he would have had his back to the play, experiencing the same brain fart, the old fullback would have emerged and he could have sprung Garcia by laying down a bone crushing block? :lol: I would much rather have seen that scenario.:lol:
