SEC Officials, You're Blowing the Game!: A Horrific Encore In The Swamp

The VFA has always said this: "I don't mind if you beat me fair and square, but if you beat me because of [add expletive here] official calls, I'm going to be really, really upset."

Florida's 23-20 comeback win against Arkansas wasn't particularly about the last minute drive that cemented everyone's view that Tim "Son of Christ" Tebow should get the Heisman trophy.

It was the SEC officiating call when the score was Arkansas 20, Florida 13 that did it.

Two straight penalties—one for a pass interference penalty that never was and then a personal foul penalty for a fair block that could only been given if either the referee was:

a.) on crack

b.) on crack

c.) a terrible referee who gave Florida 25 yards, making it easy for Florida to score a touchdown

On the winning drive, there was also a "call-that-never-was" against Riley Cooper, where CBS' Gary Danielson, the VFA, and all of the college football world were shocked when a pass interference call was NOT made by the cats in white stripes.

Don't get us wrong, Arkansas had the chances to make this game a laugher long before the SEC officials got themselves involved, shooting themselves in the foot with red zone offense almost as laughable, as, well, Florida's.

But still, we shouldn't be talking about the officials and SEC football. It's just getting too consistent for something NOT to be done about it. Remember the damage the officials caused in the Georgia-LSU game? Well, these calls were equally awful.

Go on SEC refs, go back to school. Whether it's sight school, officialing school, or special school: I'm sure you'll fit right in.
