I spoke with an official today that informed me the back judge was suspended for two games and potentially finished for his career.

Maybe that explains why Bama got 15 yd auto first down penalties against them yesterday for 1st time in like the last 3, 4 or 5 years. And a targeting call at that (of course the AU player probably lucky his neck wasn't broken on that one; so it was really obvious since he didn't just bounce back up).

No he didn't. He was listed as being on the crew at Auburn, until Auburn figured out he wasn't there.

A cushy job at Bryant bank no doubt.

Different guy, but I suppose his buddy at the bank could hire him.

Same thing should have happened to Skelton last year. I'm not sure what's worse, calling something in Bama's favor that you couldn't see or refusing to call something against Bama that you saw plain as day? Last year's bad call actually had a bigger impact on the game's outcome than this year's bad call.

No announcement or anything? Seems like they'd at least publicize that they've taken steps to rectify the situation but not say what... just to avoid embarrassing the guy.

Also got to remember that they could have picked up that flag based on input from the other officials. But they didn't.

It appears they'd rather do this privately rather than admitting fault.

A reason that the umpire must attend post game presser and defend the calls, hell the schools make 18 year old kids do it and they are not getting paid. An Sec ref can make $1500- 5000 for a game, they must become accountable and Shaw and the REC aint doing it.
