In 2003 FSU played UF in the swamp. The game would forever be remembered the "Swindle in the Swamp". UF fans claimed the ACC refs that came with FSU were bought and paid for by Bobby Bowden and company and many of the calls were absolutely terrible. When a head official eats Thanksgiving dinner at Bobby Bowdens house and Bobby refers to that official as the "Dean of Refs" it's not out of the question that the fix is in if he shows up.

It was because of this game that UF and FSU now use their own refs for home game in the series. It's also the reason that UF used their own refs when Miami went to the Swamp the last game that was played. So the question is does Miami have ACC refs for our game this year?

Unless the refs are tackling Duke Johnson at the goal line or intercepting Morris's play action bombs, I ain't worried about the refs.

SEC officials? Seems legit to me. They are impartial.

yeah, were not that good anymore where we can overcome a ranked team plus bad officiating. The game in the Swamp a few years ago looked like it could go either way until the refs made some serious suspect PI calls in the 4th quarters and the Gators capitalized.
 
to be honest...the SEC officials are a ton better than the ACC hacks....

Agree. Sec officials are good, Acc officials have been quite brutal to us since joining.

I remember a play a few years ago on a fumble return for a td against Maryland , they called it back on an atrocious call. Almost cost us the game.
