But unfortunately i see this a little differently. I read the comments from Rogers Redding where he essentially blamed Coaches for complaining too much & whined a/b his equipement. I chuckled at that lame excuse simply because you don't have to have HD to see the giant mound of turf come up under the LSU receiver's foot when he intercepted the ball in bounds. Nor was HDTV necessary to see AJ Green didn't celebrate excessively. I watched the Miss State/Florida game on a non-HDTV and i clearly saw that Dustin Doe dropped the ball before crossing the goal line. Marc Curles, Penn Wagers, et. al didn't need xray vision to see the umpteen times Timmy Tebow taunted an opponent. I could go on but i won't ;) I'm by no means getting on the conspiracy theory bandwagon, mind you. However, i certainly am of the opinion that the wealthiest, most visible, most competitive & talented conference (SEC) has a serious problem with officiating deficiencies that HDTV cannot fix. In addition, i've heard Verne & Gary say more than once this season that the replays they get to see in the booth are the very same ones the Replay Official has access to. That's more than troubling. I'm not issuing an indictment upon all SEC refs nor do i think they are out to get certain teams, including UGA, but i do think their job performance this season has reached new depths of incompetence and has certainly interfered with points on the board. And to me, that's just unacceptable. I don't seek perfection, but i do believe a league of this stature & resources deserves fair & competent officiating. Sorry to respectfully disagree. Go Dawgs!

He just had a win preserved by a horrible call. Of course he’s saying that now. He just had a win preserved by a horrible call.
