Forget it, Dan. It's the SEC.

Another week, another blown call benefitting Florida. This time it's former Florida OC and current Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen who is pissed.

Florida linebacker Dustin Doe returned an interception, but on the replay it looked like he was stripped of the ball and MSU recovered in the end zone for a touchback. But the replay official upheld the call, and Florida won 29-19.

"That's twice now that they've blown calls on the replay with our games, resulting in big plays, and I think that's unexcusable (sic) for that official," said Mullen. "I hope he's severely punished if he ever works another SEC game again, because I think it's completely unacceptable."

Oh, Dan. But it is acceptable because you're Mississippi State. There are rules, and then there are rules. You get the former. Florida is operating under the latter.

Tim Tebow, who threw two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns, did not make himself available for interviews after the game. Presumably because there wasn't an interpreter who spoke Aramaic.

So, is the SEC championship game going to end in a tie, only to be re-played for the National Title one month later?

Excellent movie reference, I love Chinatown.

SEC is not the Southeastern Conference.

It is the Shakespearean Entertainment Conference full of tragicomedies.

I like “unexcusable.”

His constituency knows exactly what he means.

The Aramaic was money!

Actually, Tebow planned to answer questions after the presser. He tried to tackle a couple of reporters as they were leaving and, well, you know how that must have gone.

This is greatness.

And just as an aside, Colt McCoy can teach St. Tebow a thing or two about the right way to bring down a guy trying to return a pick 6. (I’d insert the video of his hit from the OU game 2 weeks ago if laziness wasn’t one of my core personality traits). Despite St. Tebow’s overinflated hype as a tough, blood-and-guts “real football player,” it says here that Colt has shown more toughness when you factor in all the injuries Colt has played with, all the times he’s been hammered thanks to an inexperienced or overrated OL, and all the cheap shots he’s taken and bounced right back up from over the years.

All these knobslobbing ESPN and CBS morons act like St. Tebow is the reincarnation of Dick Butkus, playing QB in a LB’s body. No doubt, the kid is tough, and has a bulldog mentality. But Colt, while being a vastly better QB than Tebow, is also every bit as tough. I’m just fucking sick and tired of hearing that everything St. Tebow does is the best it’s ever been done by anyone and new words need to be invented to describe his greatness because the ones we have just don’t do him justice.

Tebow’s “attempt” to tackle on the second INT return was comical. Real tough guy there.

Florida, for whatever reason, is suffering from the same OL decrease in performance this year that we are. And the world is seeing that Tebow isn’t a gamechanger. He’s a guy that distributes and functions with high-class teammates.
