Fun With SEC Officiating!

As an Arkansas fan, I'm used to having a "the world is against us" mentality, but it's been interesting to see how non-Florida fans across the SEC and beyond are jumping on board the "Hogs got robbed" train. Check out these links if you can stomach thinking about the game, and particularly the officiating, any more:

Hogs Get Short End of the Stick on Calls

While I think the SEC refs are the nation's worst,

~~Arkansas~~ Alex Tejada did as much to keep the Hogs from getting the W as did the refs.

That call on Sheppard though, wow. It frustrates me to know that a defensive lineman got such a call when he was doing exactly what he should have done in that situation.

I’m glad it isn’t just my bias. There actually is a reason to cry foul… or no foul in certain cases.

let's move on

Granted, the officiating was terrible. But Arkansas had every chance to put the game away and didn’t. Tejada missed field goals (plural). Mallett missed passes (double plural). And the defense gave way in the 4th quarter.

We had second and four at their 21 yard line with 4 minutes to go. We got nothing out of that and ran only a 45 seconds off the clock. Great teams, teams that really are better than Florida, go down and run the clock down to about a minute, and score a touchdown to win the game.

We are so much improved it’s hard to believe, and we will get even better. And despite the horrendous nature of the officiating, it’s time to move on and get on a winning streak, starting with Ole Piss.

Officials did not lose that game. We did not capitalize when we should have. Next year we will.
