    The helmet-to-helmet contact rule is getting out of hand as well. I'm all for protecting players from head injuries, and for penalizing and even ejecting players who use their helmet as a weapon. But it's virtually impossible to avoid all contact around the head, especially if defensive players are using good technique and leading with their shoulders. If they keep calling those penalties as tight as they are, players will stop tackling high, but it will come at the cost of more knee and ankle injuries.

    Even though Kiffin sounds more like a cry baby every time I hear him, SEC refs seem to be suffering from cranialrectumnitis more than any other conferences. They should send them back to referee school during the suspension.:eek:ldskule:

    The no calls suck, but that's not what really bothers me. What gets me is flags thrown that are clearly bogus. And reviews that are blown. How can you blow a review? The SEC officials have been known to get booth reviews wrong since they implented instant replay. No calls suck when they are obvious, but i think it would have been alot worse if UT would have been ahead, and Bama's kick would have been blocked, and a UT guy took his helmet off. I could see that happening with SEC officials.

    there were two big ones that i though were bad overturns.

    however both were close calls.
    i thought for sure those were the kind that should be considered inconclusive.

    wouldn't have had a problem if they were called the other way around, reviewed, then left alone.

    but to call them TDs, watch the replay, and decide there was enough to overturn, was a bit of a stretch.


    either way, Indiana completely forgot how to play zone in the 4th qtr.

    watching the iowa/indiana game made me realize what the suspended sec refs were doing in their off week from the sec.

    I wonder what the fine/suspension would be if the coaches tried to gouge the refs eyes?
