OFFICIATING

duck, the first post that I read that you posted had more truth and honest to goodness Red and Black feeling in it than most that I have read here, that goes back a ways. I remember things like questioning your speech and typing ability. Some things don't sit well, especially when folks try to ride the fence. Takes some time and patience to sort things out, guess I did. At least in my mind I did.

Don't throw those damn rocks if you try and protect others with faults far worse than those that you are trying to protect.

Two faced does not live in my home. We tell the truth, when we are wrong, we say so. We don't pick fights like one member tried to do tonight, we however don't run from a good fight. Some of us grew up that way.

Folks from the depths of my heart, I need a victory in JAX. Here is my solution to that if bad things happen. Move the game to a neutral site. Gainesville is not quite as far from JAX as Athens is. Play the game in CALIFORNIA.

I will accept anything it takes to beat these damn Gators. averagedawg got his wish, time for me and several thousands to hit the lotto. We win by 3. Muschamp gets fired, Notre Dame does not want Weiss back. Muschamp has to turn in his Red and Black Card.

Notice I did not mention some coaches currently in Athens. If you can't beat Florida, explain to me why you should be the head coach at the University of Georgia. Don't care what anyone says, that is a very, very easy question to answer.

Go Dawgs! Half of the Stadium in JAX is Red, the other half . . . . I am color blind.

According to the topic of this thread, I should comment on the officiating:
The refs that called the Vandy game are blind as bats & I'm sick of the best football conference in the country employing some of the worst officials! I just hope our wonderful special teams COACHING STAFF put both Geathers & Williams in on the 2nd half kickoff so that they can hit some Gators so hard that James Franklin has to call Will Muschamp & personally apologize to him!!!

I accept Goose's call to the topic of the thread being adhered to. We should let it be known if we are going to "officiate the threads" all from now on should stay on topic. This is not trying to cut this thread down. Just a thought for all to remember, stay on topic in the thread that you participate in. Makes sense to me.

Haha Buc,
I was just making light of the fact that so often many of us get off topic during the middle of a thread (myself being as guilty as anybody else). Actually, I found out that I had so much to say tonight that I went ahead & started a new thread, just to keep our wonderful site organized & easy to follow

Off topic but Goose and Buc, you guys are late nighters on here huh?

Regarding officiating..

Goose said something about being tired of the best conference having sorry officiating. I think sometimes we watch so much of the SEC, and concentrate so much on our own program that we don't
see what else is out there. We may watch USC vs ND, or Michigan/OSU, but we don't see as much
of those other conferences as we do our own SEC.

Newsflash folks.. Just about every conference out there has some bad officiating going on. The
quality of MLB umpires is in the toilet. The NFL is having issues as well. Bad officiating is
everywhere.

Regarding staying on topic..

I don't think we need to worry about it. I've been a member of many message boards (moderated several) and I've found that outside of some behavioral guidelines that must be enforced, the site populace should be left on their own in terms of where they take discussions. Some of the best discussions have come about because of threads going off on tangents. This isn't a formal debate format we are playing with. Personally, I prefer this sort of thing be like a bunch of friends
sitting around a bar... we go off on tangents and where we end up.. no one knows. I prefer to
make my replies be on topic, but sometimes message threads wander. No big deal to me.
