They’ll go to ESPNEWS and they’ll like it. 

This is confirmed now btw.

Refs just missed a whole ass down in the PSU game and PSU had to punt on 3rd and 11. The lack of accountability for officials in all levels in all sports is astounding. At least in CBB they can lose NCAA tourney privileges I guess.

Since its apparently tradition for the road team to bring refs, the $EC probably will give them bonuses.

Couldn’t distinguish between the uniform colors. Officials are good.

Where else is there this level of shenanigans with $$$ on the line and people just ignore it? You’d think they’d have some level of checks and balances?

Penn St continues to get screwed over by this officiating crew. Why is an SEC crew being used for a BigTen home game?

These SEC refs for this Penn State-Auburn game have been something else. 

[KingPG21 6,584]

For Bowl games they get officials from a conference not involved right? That shouldn't be that hard for these non conference games right?  This whole road team bringing in their conferences officials should be reevaluated. 

[Hovadipo 56,230]

Bad day for SEC refs. Not only was this ball touched down by Miss State, Memphis had 2 #4’s on the field. 
 

Don’t worry though…the SEC said “our bad”.

[LIHoosier 26,205]

UNC 59, UVA 39. Pretty obvious that Tony Bennett wasn't coaching this game.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,378]

Might be time to reconsider the officials and their conference affiliation relative to game assignments. Hell, I don’t even want B1G officials doing B1G games. But that’s just me, and well, maybe a few others.

So if Dart beats Slovis out, can we send a bagman with transfer portal instruction?

[Hovadipo 56,230]

This certainly doesn’t make a really difficult game any easier.

Happy valley at night. Only one team going to be happy and I don't think it's going to be us.

The schedule this year is brutal

I know nothing about this dude. But on the strength of this answer alone I’m rooting for him to succeed.

His old man is a legend at Virginia Tech ...  I'd say South Carolina and Virginia Tech are pretty comparable programs. ... Tech plays in an easier conference, though. ... He must be pretty highly thought of in the college football ranks, because when your first head coaching job is at South Carolina, that ain't bad.

I did not put 2 and 2 together on the last name at all.

That last name helped open doors for him, no doubt. After playing at Virginia Tech, he started as a grad assistant and has been coaching ever since. Never had a job at a level beneath the Power 5  -- Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Mississippi State, South Carolina (first time around), Virginia Tech, Georgia and Oklahoma before getting this job.

I live in Jersey so happy valley is only a few hours away for me. I kind of want to go to the game and think it’d be a great atmosphere, but at the same time not sure I want to spend several hundred dollars to likely watch us get destroyed…

For a P5 program Vandy is historically bad.

Down 28-0 to Georgia midway through the FIRST quarter 

[Hovadipo 56,230]

The Basket Bowl between Kansas and Duke tonight gave me a great* idea. 
 

The Champions** Classic between us, UNC, Duke, and Kansas but we play Arena Football rules and it’s held in each school’s basketball arena on a rotating basis. We rotate playing Kansas and an ACC school each year and the ACC schools play one of us or Kansas. 

I swear I’m not high.
