UF game refs

[bg534]

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

To be fair, while it looks awkward is ****, if you play it back in slow motion you will see that the player was in fact down where the ref ultimately said he was.


I remember some game with Arkansas or some **** where the SEC refs basically took an upset away from one team or another. Which does bring up suspicions that SEC refs tend to favor the bigger teams in their conference so that they can get their bosses paid with BCS monies. Nothing is gained by letting Mississippi State beat LSU and knock them out of BCS contention.

I don't think they would have the balls to pull that **** in an OOC game, though. It's one thing to do dirt inside your own conference, and quite another to **** around with another conferences teams, that's just setting yourself up for some serious ****. Not saying it happens, just saying that even if it does, it won't be a problem in our game.

sorry bg,
The ref is supposed to mark the spot with his foot, which he did. Then he took the ball, bent over to place it at his foot, THEN PEEKED BACKWARD AND LOOKED AT THE FIRST DOWN MARKER, then moved the ball where he wanted it.

to be honest...the SEC officials are a ton better than the ACC hacks....

The ACC still employs Ron Cherry, so that makes them the worst by default.

But never forget how bad we got hosed on Carl Moore's "catch" down the sideline and the Randy Phillips DPI last time we were in the swamp. Or the 2009 season, when the refs gifted UiF a win over Arky with a late personal foul call that was extremely borderline at best. Also that season was the AJ Green flag for violating one of the Miami rules after a touchdown, which set up LSU to drive in the last minute for a win. The SEC refs are just as terrible when they want to be.

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.

One of the worst calls of all time.

My personal favorite, though, was Jon BEason getting called for destroying Colorado's QB on an INT runback by Leon Williams. I think they called a personal foul just because he hit him so damned hard....still waiting on a better explanation.

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.

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.

Well, the 2013 Canes will be far better than the 2008 Canes.

Or when the refs called an unnecessary roughness on Deon Bush against VaTech for destroying a running back carrying the **** football.

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?

I almost felt bad for UF that day, pretty hilarious how awful the calls were.

Best moment is when Fsu fumbles inside the 5 , refs didn't give Uf the ball so Crowder spiked the **** out of the ball lmao.

 

[cowboycane]

I just watched some YouTube.

In the Arky-UiF game I mentioned, they actually called an Arky DL for Unsportsmanlike Conduct when he threw down a UiF blocker THAT WAS TRYING TO BLOCK HIM OUT OF THE PLAY. That might be the worst call in the history of the sport since the Debacle in the Desert.

In the UGA-LSU game, Green catches the touchdown and gets hugged by his teammates. Keep in mind this was a HUGE game for both squads early in the season and there was like 1:30 left. He gets flagged, LSU gets the ball and drives down for the winning field goal.

I know the teams in the SEC are good, but you are also protected if you are one of the prized programs.

No, he wasn't. Where the guy put his foot initially is exactly where it should have been. I've seen it multiple times in various videos, and he had it right before he started thinking about "other considerations". This guy actually looks at the first down marker to see where he should put the ball. Pathetic.

IMO the spot was close to exact, not where he marked it with his foot but where he actually placed it. The foot spot was short of where the ball was when players knee hit.

 

[immars]

Game at the swamp was a clear example of sec refs protecting their product. The phantom "catch", the fumble errr throw, just a mess. Game was close and they were playing conservative and tight up until those calls. Game changed.

MOAR SEC refs!

Not so. Look at this video, then tell me where the ball is when his knee hits the ground.

Ok, I changed my mind lol. Good foot spot bad ball spot

The ACC officials were brutal to us that season (2010). I don't know if they were biased against us, or knew that Randy would take it or what. I remember the phantom clip in the Maryland game, and also there were some atrocious calls in the Clemson game that season (we won but we should have blown them out).

No. The deal Paul Dee signed for the 2008 and 2013 games calls for SEC officials for both games.

Whats your source on this? Its my understanding that the home team was to provide the officials for this series.

I thought the road team brought their conference refs

My source is non other than my Rain Man-like memory for trivial information. I remember when we played them in '08, and everyone got upset about the incomplete catch call on the sideline. For a week the South Florida media was harping on it since we had a bye week before the Texas aTm game. During this stretch one of the local writers discovered and wrote about how Foley forced the referee thing on Dee along with a demand for something like 25-30K tickets in 2013. Showing that Dee was desperate to get Florida to agree to a home and home, regardless of the circumstances.

That sounds about right now that you mention it, I remember *****ing about all the bad calls and sec officials. " I think " normally contracts are drawn up for road team to have their officials but Dee just must've drew up a **** of a contract.

You're already on the road then you gotta deal with officials too.

florida was the better team that night but the refs weren't gonna allow an upset. **** them and the gators

 

[UMcanesfan420]

All I remember about that game was us hanging in there for most of the game, keeping it within reach. Then Louis Murphy, I think it was him, makes a "catch" inside the 5 yd line as he's going out of bounds.


I'm pretty sure it shouldn't have been a catch but they reviewed it and said it was. I feel like, IIRC, he went to the ground and didn't come up with the ball. I think they just ruled that he got his elbow down in bounds so it was a catch.


We had no business being in that game like we were but if that wasn't ruled a catch that drive would've been over and it could've given us some momentum. Instead, Tebow punched it in from a couple yds out.
