SEC Suspends Officiating Crew

Posted by srr50 on October 21st, 2009 under Football

The Southeastern Conference has suspended the officiating crew from last weeks Florida Gators - Arkansas Razorbacks contest for three weeks.

This is the first time the SEC has publicly suspended an entire crew.

“A series of calls that have occurred during the last several weeks have not been to the standard that we expect from our officiating crews,” SEC commissioner Mike Slive said Wednesday. “I believe our officiating program is the best in the country. However, there are times when these actions must be taken.”

The crew will come back to work on Nov. 14th — just in time for Florida’s visit to South Carolina.

  1. With the money they’ve made on Florida so far they can afford a nice long vacation.

  2. Don’t worry. They’ll get jobs officiating for the Big 12 during their time off.

  3. what is this this “whole-ding” you speak of?

  4. Lowery: So did they tease the Florida game down? If not, I’m having trouble seeing how a 3 point Florida win won them much money on a 25 point spread.

  5. Holla!

  6. Dickhead, you ruined my joke.

  7. Maybe the long money was on a straight up Arkansas upset.

    This referee crew will forever be scandelized as the Barred Zebras.

    I don’t know whether or not he can catch a football, but he has a similar body type to Michael Crabtree (who was also a QB in high school thought of as an Athlete). Cobbs is well built, has long arms, broad shoulders suggesting plenty of room for weight gain on his frame, shows

    Magnus –

    I don’t think race plays much of a role with the Heisman. I DO think it plays some role in the size of the collective sports media boner for Tebow, as versus the much smaller boner that popped up for VY.

    I get your point, overall.

    I think another huge difference is that most of you are UT fans. Before you freak out and talk about Vince Young being Babe Ruth or whatever, just pause for a second and think about how Florida fans probably feel about Tebow…..You think VY is transcendent because he helped your school win the NC, be

    Hell, I’ve seen a lot of animals, primates or not, that don’t have the same arm length : body height ratio as Cobbs. Snails are one example. And trout.

    We need a predictions forum where each topic is catalogued and we can come back years later and see who is right.

    Sample question: Which position does Demarco Cobb play in college?
    a. wr
    b. safety
    c. olb
    d. other-write in.

    I think you try and get him the ball, not take it away. If I had to guess today

    That’s pretty much how I feel. I’m not objective enough (like GC is, apparently) to be really confident. I’m basically discounting the Texas game completely, but it’s not like Mizzou moved the ball with any regularity in the previous two games.

    Seems like the 4.7 he ran was on a slow track in borrowed shoes, according to a bunch of other recruiting boards. He has also run quite a few 4.5s and rally fast 10.4 100s.. And he is a legit 6′1″ and 200 lbs. Sounds like a receiver to me.

    The performance last week against Kansas gives a good indication of what the rest of the season will probably look like.
