We may have found a new whipping boy: SEC head of officiating Bobby Gaston. In addition to a whole host of baffling and no doubt haphazardly instituted rules to emphasize, Gaston also provided us with the quote of the year thus far:
“We’re walking on unchartered waters.”
…
“You’ll never guess where this finger’s been. I’ve always wanted to say that on national tv. First down!
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

as much as I hate seeing more ridiculous rules that will be enforced solely on the whim of the officials, that Reggie Brown rule is a pretty good one. Does anyone else remember that hit? I seriously thought he was dead when he didn’t get up.

That hit showed me that Auburn had the stones and the swagger to hang with USC, had they been given the chance to play them.

Yup. First time we thought we’d seen a player die on the field, too. Our point is that the RB rule–and the more arcane ones listed in the article–won’t be called properly. SEC refs seemingly double as wrestling refs half the time.

It probably won’t be called properly (particularly when Al Ford is crewing?) – and that’s a definately problem. I have a hard time arguing against the rule outside of that.
It makes me queasy to think about that hit.

They both punched draft day tickets that day–Junior for laying the Cruciatus curse on Reggie, and Reggie for living AND getting up.

Cruciatus – your range of references continues to amaze me.
I’m still not sure how Reggie got up from that.

Healing spell-Mark Richt on the sideline waving his wand and murmuring “Reparo!” We’ve exposed enough of our dork lingerie for the day, we think…

Todd says:
I don’t know how he got up from that either. The cameramen kept showing close ups of Rosegreen and he looked like he knew he’d hurt him pretty bad and was going to be in some serious trouble. I also understand your point, Orson. SEC officiating is ludicrous at best, especially last year.

Hmmm, if HP things video games are for little boys only, he’s going to have a field day with this. And that speaks volumes in and of itself.
If you like, I’ll throw up some chaffe. I liked #6! *jumps up and waves arms around*

I cringe every time we have to have an officiating crew do a game for a team or teams from another conference.

Our favorite bit in Mutant League Football was “Nasty Audible C,” which was code for everyone breaking the huddle and stomping the ref into a puddle of goo.
As for any criticisms of video games, we would have to refer HP–or anyone else who felt the same way–back to our mature patent response to disagreement.
