Despite calling in another request for a game extension from their local Buffalo Wild Wings (sadly, no longer serving Weck) and getting exactly what they wanted, SEC fans will continue to complain about the officiating because they can, and because now with the advent of DVR and these fine internets even the most innocuous holding call can be scrutinized.
You should know the story has reached some kind of point of deflation when Nick Saban is telling the refs to go to the lake for a weekend, which we kind of would like to see a.) because it proves a point, and b.) because the resulting anarchy would make a soccer riot seem cordial in comparison.
"I just really do believe this: If I was an official, and I was making what I make officiating, because I love the game and I love doing it, and I was getting criticized by the media, including our announcers on TV, like these guys get criticized, I'd step back and say, 'I think I'll go to the lake this weekend. You can have this.' That's what I'd do," Saban added.
If they did go to the lake they'd catch boots and call them fourteen pound largemouth bass, but that's just the kind of year they're having as a group. Officials around the nation will have another inexact and fallible day this coming Saturday because officiating is an art, not a science, and is practiced by frail, fallible humans who deserve your sympathy and understanding (after you've hit them in the skull with bottle from fifty feet away. Especially then.)
