The ESPN deal is exposing the piss poor SEC officiating

[pDigital32Dawg]

we've been dealing with for years. And for them to 17 up replay that badly is unreal. Maybe having a national audience tuning in weekly will get get people active to sort this mess out.</p>

The conference cannot afford to have shoddy officiating on display every week. Mike Slive will be forced to address this issue.

Maybe now that this has been a constant problem, Slive can get some guys in that know how to watch a little tv screen and be able to make very easy calls like the current officials should be making.

Its pretty pathetic and very embarrassing to the conference itself. We are protecting top teams in front of a national audience week in and week out. Theres got to be some resolution.

with every single game on TV somewhere, and many of them nationally broadcast, it is a lot more visible.

I got the biggest screen they make here at the Lonesome. I'll give them my cell # .I'll lay on my couch and drink beer and do it for free.

I can do it that way a hell of a lot better.

And quicker.

They can even find somebody else to do the State games.

For years there has been no accountability with the officials protecting the Bamas and LSUs when they get a chance. The new ESPN contract and the number of games that they get to broadcast first hand should help.

Having it openly exposed and having the conference's officiating become a laughing stock can only help to level the playing field for our small money schools. Hopefully Bama fans will eventually have something to complain about.
