That was absolutely the worst call I've seen this year, except for the incompletion call on the Virginia Tech hail Mary pass against Miami. It is those kinds of calls that make fans think games are fixed or make them.... throw things. Georgia, though, is still a beast. Texas is good but not as good as Georgia and probably a couple of other teams. Texas' offensive line was bested all night and Ewers is now gun shy and won't step up in the pocket. In addition, the running backs are small and maybe average in quality. Oh well.
Well, Ewers was exposed and so were a couple of guys on the offensive line. Texas is still pretty darn good, though, and the defense is very good. At least they aren't ou.

Texas is paying the fine with part of its alcohol sales from last night.
$250,000?University of Texas penalized for football game interruption - Southeastern Conference
The University of Texas will be assessed a financial penalty and must meet requirements set forth by the Commissioner following interruption of its October 19 football game with the University of Georgia due to fans throwing debris on to the field, the Southeastern Conference announced Sunday.
I know. I'm a Texas alumnus. I know a couple of Texas alums who could pay for it and not think twice about it - like I'd pay a $25 fine. Also, they'll never identify the kids who threw the bottles but it's not as bad as Tennessee fans hitting Kiffin with batteries. It was a horrible call at a key moment but I don't condone throwing things onto the field.
I think they said that the ref didn't mean to throw the flag or some such. It was a terrible call and, ultimately, didn't matter. The best team won. However, when you have a bunch of suburban would be football hero insurance salesmen as refs, it can be entertaining. Are you not entertained?
My guess is that Sark was saying that’s a [ deposit from a bull that looks like Art Briles ] call or something along that line. Sonny was saying hey [ Arschloch] you’re a scheissing idiot or something like that. Usually when you attack the individual you get tossed and when you attack the call you get a warning.
