🏈 Anyone seen this?

[UAgrad93]

Anyone seen this and has anyone else reported it? ESPN, SEC Network, Greg Sankey, SEC office? Seems like they threw some shit on the wall and Barner nation is eating it up. UGA fans are trolling them saying that, “he should be suspended for taking a TD away from UGA right before the half!”
Anyone?

I'm not going to research the story because I don't believe a word of the title. I'll bet the sourcing is laughable (if anyone wants to read the story.)

Yes pro talk about it too.

A former NFL official is furious with college football’s “insane” punishment on a longtime referee.

Athlon, and the Clay Travis site. It's not getting more credibility by the view or site.

Hell, Clay was telling us Finebaum was kicked off of ESPN the other day.

And, just to be clear.

For the record:

IF Williamson is suspended? I hope he's also affected by the government shutdown.

Same here, but those Barners are eating it up as if it were the gospel.

There is supposedly truth to it but also the story is a bit sensationalized. It’s odd that a more traditional outlet or reporter hasn’t really backed it up or shot it down, but the SEC isn’t going to confirm or deny that stuff. They never do. Just have to wait until Saturday and see who the assigned crew are. But, it sounds like Williamson won’t among them.

You mean a traditional, reputable one like al.com? JK @TerryP !

SEC needs to get some younger officials that are in shape. All conferences for that matter.

We need to have David Smith run for Lt. Governor. He has more leadership experience than AJ.

That "permanently suspended for all conference games" was just funny. That is SO FAR out of the realm of reality.

Wouldn't "permanently suspended" be fired or expelled? So called reporters & their use of the language!

It seems that “fired” would flow better that “permanently suspended”.
@Brandon Van de Graaff didn’t the SEC release a statement following the blown call in the Barn/OU game? Doesn’t it seem reasonable that they would do so again, IF it were true?
Also, you would think the replay officials would be called out as well and they wouldn’t wait 2 weeks either.

That would be one of my thoughts. A weekend? I can see that. To fire a guy and it breaks on YH News? Yeah...gonna question from the get-go.

It does smack of “double secret probation”.
