Statement on @AuburnFootball/@OU_Football game:
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Prime Mike Leach at TTU would have absolutely torched 2025 SEC defenses. Can't fall for those probing trick plays & then try to apply a subjective call after the fact. Sooners deserve better than this & that makes me sick to say. Damn you for making me take up for them š”
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football No, it was not a penalty. Oklahoma had eleven men on the field. That's the rule. Hugh Freeze can't count is not Oklahoma's problem.
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Only fair to give the win to Auburn and give Oklahoma the loss. You swung the game 14 points with that call and the overturning of a clear fumble for 6 points - not to mention the missed passing interference where he tackled the guy in the end zone. Horrific officiating. Take
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football There were some bad calls last night but no one cares because of "the boy who cried wolf syndrome". Here's a breakdown of Auburn's losses with documented referee blame. This covers all 14 lost games the last two years: 2023 Season Sep 30 Georgia L 10-45 Fans criticized phantom
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Why don't you put the whole rule in there. OU didn't substitute! Approved Ruling 9-2-2 III. A1 leaves the field of play during a down. Team A huddles with 10 players. Substitute A12 enters, and A2 simulates leaving the field but sets near the sideline for a āhide-outāā pass.
@SECOfficiating @JCam_17 @AuburnFootball @OU_Football āAppropriate accountabilityāā¦. So Auburn is declared the winner? Or is it now a draw? Do the gamblers get their money back? Exactly what is the plan to make this up to Auburn? Details please. I think $100M check with written apology begging for forgiveness would be a nice
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football sneaky sneak š
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Now release statements on the missed PIs and the bullshit clearly not āindisputableā overturned fumble for a TD. @GregSankey fix this shit now!
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football The rule clearly needs to be clarified if youāre going to interpret this this way. The interpretations or examples that are provided in the rule do not indicate that what OU did is a problem. There was no substitutionary act and he walked towards where he ended up lining up.
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football I read the statement, but it doesnāt match the play. Auburn has some responsibility to scan the field and line up appropriately . The āhide outā play is when a player leaves the huddle and runs towards the sidelines as if he was leaving the field. That didnāt happen during this
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Appropriate accountability would be as follows. Suspend this crew for 3 weeks. Fine OU 500k. Fine any OU fan who disagrees with me 500k and send proceeds to me. Suspend the official who missed the most blatant pass interference call in the history of the world for the rest of
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Also find it weird that you all call this out, but not the same play for Ole Miss in 2023, when you determined there was no intent to deceive when Ole Miss ran it vs A&M? Wonder if that was because it was ran against a team that was against adding Texas to the league?
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football There was also a horrid horse collar tackle call, countless missed holding calls on Auburn and an improperly called illegal screen call against OU . Honestly, both teams got screwed. The fumble reversal was one of the few things they got right. That and the nearly blown
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football In addition to the touchdown and pat that resulted from the play in question were other calls that resulted in an additional 10 point swing in the score. I'm a Bama fan so I generally don't pull for Auburn, but the officiating won the game for Oklahoma. There were also
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Same play Ole Miss ran back in 2023ā¦
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Itās only right to give both teams the LOSS and give the officiating crew a promotion and a raise. That should upset EVERYONE and finally cause enough controversy where something has to change (we will wait to see if itās actually positive change).
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football How can the SEC be the premier league in the NCAA but canāt employ competent officials? Basketball is officiated differently than in the tournament, football has become unbearable to watch. Itās hurting the on the field product. Where is the accountability? What does a
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football So they admit they cheated an got the wrong call. Now I want an explanation on the āoverturnedā touchdown that got called back due to incompletion. The refs dictated this game and need to be addressed
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football After this, Auburn intends to claim the win. Can they email the same guy they retroactively claimed their national championships?
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football 1. Weāre called SOONERS for a reason. 2. SCOREBOARD! š¤£š¤£š¤£
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football That's great & appropriate, but The SEC needs to review the Officiating for that entire game. There were two extremely obvious Pass Interferences not called where the Defender basically tackled the Receiver before the ball arrived. Here is one of them. https://x.com/CalebAUSports/st...
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football š¤£ retroactively trying to claim this win too?!
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Auburnās responseā¦
@SECOfficiating @PeteThamel @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Time for a national officiating association. Allowing conferences to assign and control officials is putting the integrity of the game in danger. This unfortunately is not an isolated incident. There is too much kk why at stake
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Remove this rule altogether. The substitution rule accounts for giving the defense time to substitute if a substitution occurs. There is no justification for a defender to sub out if the offense does not sub and get an advantage. Wait until the offensive player leaves the field.
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football I liken this to the hidden ball trick in baseball. If this is deemed unfair, a rule must be added that a team must signal their intention to substitute. Without the signal, the defense should follow the player(s) to sideline to prevent this type of play.
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football @NCAA: The NFL has the SkyJudge/Umpire review concept floating around, where a booth official can immediately buzz down if somethingās egregious. & the XFL and USFL actually do this the old NFL head of officiating) sits in a command center and can stop play to fix obvious errors.
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Reprimand your replay crew. Do a side-by-side of the fumble that was reversed in the first quarter, and the catch at the sideline in the fourth and show me the difference in interpretation of a catchā¦.
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Dear @AuburnFootball please regret "to properly apply" the SEC Logo on our beloved Pat Dye Field and anywhere about the premises of Jordan-Hare Stadium for the remainder of the 2025 season š Signed, AUBURN FAMILY
@SECOfficiating @Lane_Kiffin @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Curious if this is the same officiating crew that said Ryan Williams touchdown didnāt count last year?
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Once again, āoops, we cost an undefeated team a win but youāll get over it. Better luck with one of our crews next time. P.S. they also missed a mugging of Cam Coleman at the goal line, but sorry no one saw that either.ā
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football So what will actually happen? Admission of guilt does nothing to change the result of the game. Will be see any change in the quality of officiating?
@SECOfficiating @AuburnFootball @OU_Football Let's talk about the OU offensive coordinator giving the middle finger to the Auburn sideline following the "illegal play" on national television, because the league should do something about that as well.
