in the fact that they SEC supervisor of officials stated today that the ridiculously heavy-handed and unnecessary excessive celebration penalty on Georgia superstar WR A.J. Green at the end of the Bulldogs’ 20-13 loss to LSU in Athens Saturday was botched.
For those who missed it:
Here is a bit of context: Green, in the wake of his magnificent, go-ahead TD grab with 1:09 remaining in the game, was flagged for excessive celebration when he in fact did very little, if any, celebrating at all.
LSU then ralled to score the game-winning touchdown after the penalty and a 40-yard kickoff return by Tigers speedster Trindon Holliday.
The penalty was preposterous and probably altered the outcome of the game. I would love to see the SEC refs exercise a little common sense. It would go a lot farther than a pitiful little postgame pseudo apology.
