If this is LSU-Alabama, or Florida-Georgia, or the like, that flag doesn\u2019t fly. \u00a0Which is doubly ironic considering that by rule, an inadvertent whistle is not reviewable. \u00a0Right up until it is. \u00a0Which is why&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>4) The officiating in this game was a war crime. I\u2019m not even talking about biased officiating \u2013 I\u2019m talking about the sheer incompetence that goes along with calling a guy down who wasn\u2019t down, blowing a whistle, and then dicking around for several minutes before finally deciding to cover up a mistake by either ignoring the rules or ignoring what happened. The SEC has surpassed the Pac-12 for officials who look like their first reaction to a rulebook is to color in it, and it\u2019s an embarrassment to have that on the field in what is supposedly the best conference in football.<\/p>\n<p>We had it, we gave it away.
