LOL OH that was priceless!

QBs, WRs, this ref can take'em all down LOL

Apparently the ref had money on LSU.

More info at ESPN

He had intent, good position, and he hit that guy on purpose. Even the goddamn refs are abusing their power.

We might as well give them tazers and pepper spray!

dude the ref threw himself at the qb. There was no defensive intent here.. he clearly had intent to interfere...

..or flashbacks.

This is a case of confusion, as when you almost bump repeatedly into another person when walking in an alley, except when you walk in an alley you are not facing a 300 pound muscle machine with protective equipment.

Basically, the ref tried to go to his right towards the line, the the runner was initially going in the same direction, so the ref tried to let him pass by slowing and cutting slightly to his left. But the runner must have seen the ref coming from his right and also thought of cutting to the left, without slowing (maybe he was trying to avoid the guy from the other team but it makes a difference only in the intent of the moves he ultimately made not in the actual sequence). The two guys being of roughly the same shape and size, the law of inertia, with a little help from the defending referee, prevailed and the guy going the fastest was veered off course the most by the collision (the little help from the referee simply made it so the runner came down instead of simply stumbling off semi-randomly).

Jeez, you always pass port to port. Landlubbers.

It was instinct for the referee to hit him. You can see it in his form, straight back lower than the quarter back, good form tackle without the wrap up.

He didn't do enough to get out of the way, it even appears like he did it on purpose.

If he was trying to get out of the way, he wouldn't have brought his shoulder into the QB.

This is incredible to me. If you read the ESPN story, everyone, coaches and the SEC office, say this guy didn't do it intentionally. I... I really just don't know what to say other than, what is wrong with people? WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!

Maybe the sift isn't good for me. Okay it is, but still, there's just too much easy content to publish on human stupidity. It's like overload for me.

Isn't the real tragedy here that they are called "the Gamecocks"?

Apparently the referee is not going to get in trouble.
