Evidently the SEC has no problem with one of its legendary officials spending time on the radio explaining his game calls.
Sure would be a lot more fun for Penn to do that on Richt’s show.

Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

It look like Penn has had a rough conversation with the league office if he is willing to go on the air and discuss his controversial calls.

That should read “It doesn’t look like…”

I’d like Wagers to have a rough conversation with my right boot.

He goes on the air with a local sports talk guy, Bobby Hartin, a few times every season, so I wouldn’t say this is out of the ordinary. I don’t recall him ever defending specific calls he made before, though. He refused to comment on the flag he threw on Richt, he claimed that the fumble result was a tie and so it went to the offense, and he claimed–best one–that Murray didn’t qualify as “defenseless”… apparently he doesn’t know the rule real well.

Isn’t there a helmet-to-helmet rule that would have applied to the Murray hit even if it wasn’t ruled targeting?

I would love to see one of our DBs go hard at Penn-and then explain that he was not defenseless. Perhaps a bit of perspective is in order.

He’s not going to go on the air and admit he screwed up. But the fact that he’s there and spewing nonsense tells you that the post-game chatter has affected him. Which simply means his grudge just got a little bit bigger. Great.

He would be able to clench firmly and hold the whistle if I get the chance to relocate it for him.

Does he take calls from the public or is this just with the host only. I’d love to ask him a few questions myself.

How the fuck does the SEC office allow Wagers, or any other official to go on the air, when coaches are not allowed to comment on their calls?
This is absurd.

Thank you for referencing this. That was the first thing I noticed watching the fateful play in real time, and now it is my lasting memory of it. The holding was criminal, and few have even mentioned it.

Reminds me of an old SNL sketch with John Goodman called “the Referee Pittman” show. the audience had some great questions like “are you blind?”.

This happens to us because we are always the first to penalize ourselves. When the SEC or NCAA needs to assert itself, they know they can count on having an easy and willing bitch in desperate need of claiming moral superiority. Wagers not the only one who knows this.
We need a new head coach.

What does that haev to do with the horrendous flags Mr. Assh@t Wagers has thrown against our team?? How do you even realte this to “needing a new head coach”?? Did you not see Richt get that flag?? You think he was being submissive there? None of us know what Coach does after a game like that. He could have chewed out his team and praised their near come back. I would almost guarantee he sent film into the SEC offices over those calls. Please, explain your comment in more detail. I think I might’ve missed the point.

“You guys are the best officials in the SEC.”
If that’s the best he’s got, then yes he was being submissive.
If the officials or the SEC office had any fear or respect for him, they would have stopped these types of overreaching calls long ago.
As long as he is our head coach, this will continue to hurt us in games big and small.
LikeLike
Really? The rant he went on before that didn’t register? He yelled That was Crap in their faces. He gladly stepped into their faces to make sure they knew he was good and pissed. I’m sorry, nothing about that moment seems submissive to me. So, he is a terrible coach because he didn’t cuss? Also, you have no idea if the SEC fears or respects him. These conversations happen behind close doors (although I’m not opposed to making them more transparent). The basis for your request to have him removed is faulty.

It looked like when Richt was really going at it with Pencildick Wagers, the other official turned Richt around by the shoulders. Richt flinched like he was gonna swing on that guy. I thought he was gonna throw a punch.

Who doesn’t love that word! It reminds me of a story about a loving wife unafraid to stand up for her rights and the rights of her Jimmy way back when:
It is generally thought by most that Thigpen v. Johnson contains some of the finest hog related language since the infamous “Pencil-D!ck” case of Gilbreath v. State of Florida, 650 So.2d 10 (Fla. 1995) in which the Florida Supreme Court thought that the following was an obscene or harassing phone call placed by a disgruntled spouse of a postal worker, apparently having a little trouble carrying out his duties at the post office, directed to the postal service management employee she thought responsible for irritating her postal worker spouse husband and, therefore, her:
“She requested to know what the !**k was going on at the post office, the
!**k*** harassment on Jimmy (her husband) and stated that ***damn
!**k*** b!tch whore (name deleted) called for a
!**k*** investigative report on Jimmy, and the
!**k*** b!tch falsified the documents. She stated that she followed that
!**k*** b!tch whore (name deleted) to her ***damn driveway last night and if that b!tch called her boss (the name of a well national realty company deleted) and cause [sic] her to lose her job, her mother!**k*** ass is gone. She stated !**k those bastards, you can’t communicate with !**k*** idiots.
She said if those mother!**k*** c***suckers don’t quit messing with them, they would all be gone starting with the !**k*** b!tch (name deleted) postmaster !**!*** whore-b!tch (name deleted), the c***sucking two-faced (name deleted), and that p*ssy-wimp (sic), white faced, Pencil-D!ck c**ksucking , red-haired mother!**k*** (name deleted). She didn’t give a
!**k and it would be worth it to get rid of all of their !**k*** asses.”

Bulldog Joe, do you honestly believe Richt said “You guys are the best officials in the SEC”? Does a man, that fired up, start yelling compliments? Apparently Richt’s cool demeanor has transcended all logic and he is completely unpredictable now. OR he was still pissed at the press conference, threw us a “bone” and told us , in a nut shell, what he said to the official, in such a way that he could “tell us” and not get fined. In case you need this further spelled out for you, I’m guessing Richt said “You guys are the WORST officials in the SEC”, dressed it up for public consumption as to not get fined and/or draw further ire from officials with an ax to grind. But that doesn’t fit in your little hissy as nicely, does it?
