he is going to say he is "fine" with the call. If he said the truth he would be fined $30,000

I think the SEC is complete corruption. There have been too many calls that favor their big media teams.

The SEC wants only one result...an undefeated matchup of Alabama vs. Florida in the SEC Championship game--that way they are assured of at least one team in the BCS Championship game. Any borderline call will go in favor of those two teams leading up to that matchup. There is too much money on the line for the call to go any other way. Anyone watching the game Saturday could tell by the replays it was poor non-overturn of a call. The video evidence was overwhelming that it was an interception. Who knows if LSU could've won the game if they would have got the call...but one has to wonder if they were homered.

True the SEC has had several "questionable" calls in recent weeks. Name one conference that has not had its share. The only reason this is a highlight is because of the rate at which this has happened this season & the fact that the SEC decided to fine the outspoken coaches. Everyone guns for those on top.

I watched the game on Saturday and that had to be one of the worst reviews in history. Trying to figure how that play wasn't overturned. Only thing I can figure out is the teams with the best records towards the end of the season get calls they shouldn't or wouldn't get at the beginning of the season. SEC officials rank up there with the PAC10 refs that blew a call in an OU Oregon game a few seasons back.
