Referee tackles Gamecocks QB
 

Interesting...

You make the call. Did he intentionally tackle him??

That can't be real...
If so, he tackles like Jarrod Page...

Damn, the ref actually took steps toward him and lowered his shoulder to tackle him.

Sure looks like he was measuring up for the hit.

Looked pretty intentional to me.

sometimes i read posts. Then when i refresh it adds stuff to the posts and there is no "edited" by wierd

no way thats real

heh, that's ****ed up. looks real to me, but I'm no fraud expert. I'd assume that would be headlining sportscenter.

It looks like the ref forgot he was a ref and thought he was playing linebacker.

there is the top view

That's real

it's real it was on espn.com this morning

in the 60's the ref was a 3 year starter LB for the Kentucky Wildcats

It's real. They were talking about it on sportscenter earlier today and they said he played linebacker in college.

That a-hole should be fired immediately. That's just plain ignorant right there. Looks pretty blatant to me.

yeah. Instincts took over. wow.

I can only assume the ref found himself trapped in the middle of the action, and was just trying to sidle out of it. Maybe his "tackle" was just him trying to brace up for the collision.

But yeah...That looked pretty weird....

Did SC wind up scoring on that drive or did this potentially cost them the game?

yep

They scored a TD on the drive, IIRC.

Maybe we should sign him. Chiefs need anybody who can stop the run right now.

It is real and yes it is intentional...

I heard he used to play LB or something and its like he had a flashback or something...

The SEC said that there was nothing wrong with that, pretty damn ridiculous, he made the tackle and said he was in the correct position. Yeah i'd say he can teach the chiefs LB's how to hit. He should get suspended or fired, no way that should happen.

If I were the QB i would've been like "wtf are you doing?" Wonder what the coach had to say

Wow. That was pretty blatant.

I don't care if was intentional or not, he should be let go immediatley. You can't have that look like that.

if i was the offense i would call a power running play right over his ass

One of the guys we were tailgating with Sunday morning asked if we saw it. He said he called a friend's attention to what he thought he'd seen. He kept replaying it on his tivo (or whatever that is). He said he thought it was intentional, and was surprised that no one was called on it.

That was awesome. Clap clap, clapclapclap.

Pretty ballsy though to be an older guy and take on a college kid in full pads.... muchmore so as he actually stopped the QBs forward momentum.

ROFL

This was in the related videos.

You have about 15 minutes to edit a post before the "edited" message shows up.

Very strange.

It's like that BWW commercial. "This one's going into overtime!"

Wasn't intentional,but that QB needs to hit the weight room..he just got flattened by a 60 year old referee..

What the hell? If that is a real video, that ref needs to get canned ASAP. F'n bullsh#t, I'd be pissed if I were a South Carolina fan.

That is obviously intentional and he should be banned for life from being an official or involved in sports in any capacity

Old man had a flashback.

They were throwing a fit about it today on PTI. They were saying it was blatantly intentional and he should be fired immediately, I tend to agree

You can edit posts within 10 minutes or so without adding the "edited by" text.

That too.
