SEC Officiating

[ShotgunDawg]

This post has nothing to do with sour grapes or in any way insinuating that better officiating last night would've allowed us to win.

With that preface, the officiating in last night's game was absolutely absurd & unbecoming of the caliber of what the SEC should expect.

The referees in last night's game deserve a week off next week. In this day in age of college football, what happened last night just can't happen.

In about a 2 minute stretch early in last night's game, MSU was robbed of a TD, had about 3 flags picked up that would've gone against Auburn, a pass interference that Auburn committed was missed, & MSU was called for a questionable PI in the end zone. Additionally, then MSU had a TD ruled down at the 1 foot line when there was absolutely no evidence that he didn't score & GET THIS instead of it being marked at the 1 foot line, somehow MSU was snapping the ball from almost the 2 yard line.

Regardless of the final score, any chance MSU had of mounting an upset on the road was absolutely squashed by the officials in this 2 minute period.

In game that don't end up being close, many times these type of officiating problems are swept under the rug & never talked about, but the integrity of the game compromised last night & I think SEC fans deserve better.

After seeing what happened to Texas A&M last weekend & MSU last night, the SEC officiating department needs to take a long look who their officials are, the type of training they are receiving, & how they are training them.

SEC football is way to important to too many people to have an amateur officiating job like last night happen.

I really wish Mullen would accept a fine & call some of these guys out every once in the while. At least show that MSU is tired of it.
