The Southeastern Conference officiating crew has not had a good season.
We have seen some poorly called games in the conference and last week was interesting. The referees on Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium got an earful of a profanity-laced tirade from Missouri’s head coach, Eli Drinkwitz. Drinkwitz watched Brady Cook, the Tigers’ starting quarterback, get drilled to the ground in the first quarter. Cook, who was listed as ‘doubtful’ earlier in the week, got upgraded to being a ‘game-time’ decision. He ended up playing and took a shot from LT Overton of Alabama.
Drinkwitz was seen yelling “f*** you” to the officials three times after Overton was called for a personal foul.
