After the jump, the video of the day.
This was called as a personal foul on Dallas Baker. By a referee who was standing five feet away. Never forget.

I was there but didn’t see it. Called some people right after the game, they (including some Tenn fans) said it was the worst call they’ve seen in their lives. Some of the people were 50 years old, and were very very pissed.
It’s all good though. I’m over it. We’ve got them back for it.

Common Theme
The person who retaliates always gets punished.

I agree there, but that is usually only because the ref never sees the instigator and only sees the retaliator. Here, he stared at the duo the whole time, saw both hits and then flagged one of them?!
Not to back up the ref, but...
It’s possible that the TD Maker was running his mouth which instigated the first slap/push…that can’t be determined from watching the video…
I also point out that much like a jury in the courtroom…it’s really hard to tell exactly what the ref sees sometimes…he might have been looking up into the bleachers or at something going on on the sidelines…sees the commotion and glances back just in time to see Baker…
Not likely…but possible…
You may not like what I have to say...but somebody has to say it...
I guess it's possible
But neither his head nor vantagepoint appeared to change at all between the 2 slaps. Maybe his eyes were just closed for the first slap.
Also, I’d bet both players were mouthing off all game. But I’ve never seen a flag thrown for name calling.
I remember watching it live and was just furious with Baker. It took me a long time to forgive Slappy for that.
Always. That’s why you get him back differently and not right in that exact moment.

That video reignites a fire in my chest.
Injustice in all forms sucks. Injustice like that during Fla./Tenn.? Landlubber smash!
On the other hand, warm and fuzzies for the Dan Wenger story. Good to hear somebody with experience outside the SEC come in and talk about the cavernous divide in talent between the conferences.

Haha, no way! I actually know the girl that is modeling the clothing. She is a student here at UF as well, used to date my old roommate. We all grew up near in each other up in north florida
