SEC Reprimands Kiffin

20091026kiffinThe SEC has reprimanded Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin for criticizing officials who worked the Volunteers’ game against Alabama, but can anybody really blame him? How can the SEC shake their finger at Kiffin for questioning the refs, when just a week prior the SEC itself suspended a reffing crew after it called penalties that the league said were not supported by video evidence in the LSU-Georgia game on Oct. 3 and the Arkansas-Florida game on Oct. 17? Obviously shit happens, and oftentimes shit happens in favor of the higher-ranked team on the field. Reffing can be a problem, but the solution isn’t putting tape over peoples’ mouths.
