Title: Kiffin Fined $25k for Criticizing Refs
Post by: McBaman on October 27, 2020, 09:12:51 AM
Frankly, I thank Kiff for telling it like it is.  SEC refs still blow too many calls.  That's two games this season that Barn has "won" due to refs.  da#@.....

I agreed with Kiff at the time of the end of the game. You could tell the Ref's was giving auburn the game. I guess those ref's are riding on the gus bus and getting their fare paid by fans. RTR!

The Auburn voodoo is strong.  That's two games this year that the refs bailed them out at the end of the game.

Kiffin later asked if anyone knew where he could find 2.5mil pennies to pay his fine.  I imagine the league office will spat his hand for the continued remarks.

Kiffin first tweeted asking where he could get 2,500 pennies. He followed that up with a second tweet that said he was just checking to see if the SEC office would review his math because he really needed 2.5M pennies.

Considering the coin shortage in the country, I don't know if Kiff could find that many pennies.  But he probably could get 25,000 one dollar bills from Brinks (or some such company) and get them delivered to the league office.  That would be quite a pile of cash.

Or maybe we could start a ref protest and have everyone send a dollar bill to the league office for credit to Kiff's fine!

I'm sure he could easily raise the money to pay the fine if he started a GoFundMe page.

I agree that the refs robbed Ole Miss especially on the kickoff play where the Auburn player's finger appeared to touch the ball.  However, I had to be reminded that while I was watching the game on a 55" high def tv, the ref was looking at "maybe" an 8" monitor.  I doubt the image of the ball bending the player's finger back was very visible on that small screen.  On second thought, the on-field ref never even reviewed that play so it would have to be the ref that reviews plays in the booth.  I don't know what equipment he/she uses... That would be the most likely person that missed the call.

Oh, this is funny.  Check out the pix Kiff posted last year of blind refs with seeing-eye dogs on the field.  It's in this link.  I don'g know how to post the pix.
