What a terrible call by the official to throw Snell out. He's the best player on the field for either team today.

Doesn't matter how good a player he is (good players should not get special treatment), but he did nothing to even draw a penalty, much less get ejected. The SEC may be getting some biased treatment because Alabama and Georgia are in the playoffs.

The Ref reached down to help Snell up at the end of the play. Snell pushed his hands away. The ref threw a flag - and Snell was ejected for "contact with an official."

Honestly, I wouldn't have a problem with a personal foul penalty there....Snell is a thug and has been chirping all game, and that's probably why the ref was quick to throw the flag. But to eject him for contact when the ref actually initiated contact is horseshit.

Snell got gang tackled by about 5 NW guys after he had already stepped out of bounds, so he was a little pissed anyway. Referee came over and reached down as if to help him up. Snell lightly pushed his arms away as if refusing the help up, and ref throws the flag and kicks him out of the game for "contact with an official." The official is the one who initiated the contact in the first place by reaching down towards him. And it wasn't a shove or anything. Snell just kind of lightly pushed the refs arms away refusing the help. He probably didn't even realize it was the referee since the ref came from behind him while he was on the ground. Overly officious jerk, as Marv Levy would say.

Holy cow. I really don’t even know what to say

It was dumb on Snell’s part to shove the ref’s hands away like that, but an ejection? Snell did not initiate contact, and I could have easily been overlooked if it hadn’t been for that idiot’s precious ego.

KY just got hosed again. Late hit out of bounds injuring their qb, and KY gets the unsportsmanlike like penalty.

Not sure if that targeting call was a make up call or incompetence.

I understand why they called targeting there because the guy led with his helmet into the guy's chest. The problem here is the targeting rule itself. There's no way that should be a penalty. I'm not sure what the defender is supposed to do...it looked like the runner actually elevated and the defender was adjusting.

The targeting rule should only apply to forcible contact to the head/neck area, as the rule is in the NFL.

terrible job by Mark Stoops of not keeping his composure. He just cost his team 3 points. Then he did a terrible job of not managing his timeouts on the last drive by northwestern. I wouldn't let Stoops coach my son's pee wee team.

When did you meet him to know he’s a “thug” genius? Guess you have thug sensor

Super powers.

We're not too far off from the players being issued flags to be tucked on their backside.

Kentucky is definitely getting short end of the stick. A&M got hurt by the missed PI on their last drive.

For the record, those were both PAC-12 crews. Ours tomorrow is Big 10.

Here’s the full list: http://www.footballzebras.com/2017/12/03/2017-18-bowl-officiating-assignments/

It's the Fox Mulder in me, but I think all SEC teams may get the short end of the bowl games. Conferences and media heads have all been bitching about two SEC playoff teams for the past few weeks.

When the announcers are talking over and over about how bad it is, you know it ain't just us.

The SEC basketball refs will more than make it up to them during conference play.

Is dan Mullen coaching Kentucky tonight? Used 4 minutes on a drive. Had second and 2 and had to settle for a field goal. Loved that run up the middle for a loss of 3 on 3rd and 2.**** classic Mullen.

Freeze or Orgeron must be coaching NW. going for it on 4th down there was retarded.

Didn’t see it, but could snell have said something in addition to that slap?

Read an interview with the ref this morning. He said it was because Snell touched him.
