Right? lol. We definitely lacked something to be desired... but without the royal treatment from the officials the outcome may have been much different. Both were game changing calls. Both highly suspect and both showed very clearly on replay to be different from what was called. Hell, even that idiot Verne Lundquist (who hates Arkansas) could tell on both of those that the call was wrong... Actually, on the gifted touchdown the original ruling on field (from 2 linemen) was fumble and Arkansas recovery. The statement from Roger Redding was that the head lineman had called TD. But the footage and eyewitness accounts beg to differ. Not ONE official called TD. Not one. So yeah, royal screwing.
I've never been one to believe in conspiracies and such... but this is the second straight season where we have been hosed against undefeated teams. Last year it happened multiple times (Florida was case and point), and this year the trend continues. And Ark isn't the only team it happens to. And even if it weren't some unspoken rule in the SEC that you protect the undefeateds for the sake of ratings in their head to heads and BCS bids... Penn Wagers (head official at this game) has a long history of screwing Ark. It is well known in Fayetteville that that douchebag hates us.
