SEC Strikes Again: FLA vs ARK



ESPN.com is reporting that the SEC is ready to apologize for its officials mistakes once again.

The personal foul called against Arkansas that led to a touchdown for Florida was sent in for SEC official review. They issued a statement afterwards:

"there was no evidence on the video to support the personal foul penalty."

Shocking.

These were also the same officials that called the Georgia-LSU game that ended in a controversy over the same exact penalty.

This is either a really bad case of irony or these refs are just too quick to throw that flag for very minor situations. You have to give these kids some leeway to celebrate. With the amount of emotion and intensity there is in these college games, how can you blame them for getting excited? I can barely control myself and I'm just watching it.

How many times are these refs going to do this before there is some sort of punishment? They are obviously effecting games if an apology is needed after every controversial game.

Unbelievable.
