Are you kidding me?

I was raised to live my life based on two principles... integrity and trust. My dad would preach, as a former coach and Marine... to always tell the truth, and learn to trust others while at the same time being a trustworthy individual in your own right. After all, if those two things don't exist, it's impossible for any relationship to work - let alone thrive.

Obviously, the SEC and its league executives and commissioner don't feel the same way. After allowing a call to be reversed on the field in the final seconds of the Alabama-Ole Miss game, and then reviewing the tape and saying that the officials on the field made the right call in hindsight... is not only a disgrace and slap in the face to all of us who love sports by either being a fan or covering them for a living - BUT more importantly a blind-sided two-by-four across the face of every player who wore an Ole Miss uniform this past weekend. It is nothing short of a joke. To be honest, it's borderline criminal.

And let me preface one thing ok? I'm not an SEC homer. I graduated from a BIG 12 school and covered the PAC-10 for five years, so this is un-biased opinion based upon what is right and wrong. Plain and Simple.

Rogers Redding, the SEC's coordinator of officiating... said the replay official was right in ruling that Shay Hodge was not "blocked" out of bounds, as the rule requires for him to come back into play and make the catch. He also said Hodge touched the ball first on re-entry... and look, I have two eyes and a brain that works as well... and both points are in-conclusive. Those are the facts. Just like the history books are now... the ones that read Ole Miss is 2 and 5 on the year... even though their should be an asterisk next to the 'Bama game denoting they were cheated out of the right to compete on the field to actually change the result.

And how hilarious is it... that weeks later we still hear and read about Mike Gundy's infamous rant (after a victory nonetheless) about one of his players getting called out in the media. It's big time football Coach, you get paid millions and your players go to school for free. Criticism is what you sign-up for... take it like the 40 YEAR OLD MAN you say you are! Yet weeks from now... we won't hear a word about Ole Miss or the fact that they fought for 59 minutes and 53 seconds to try and turn around their season... and the game was supposed to last for a full 60.

That makes me want to puke Christian
