Vol Twitter went off over the weekend and while the actions of many fan bases online can simply be brushed off, the Southeastern Conference has felt the need to respond to the biggest story on Rocky Top at the moment.

The issue for Tennessee fans started with the Volunteers 82-80 overtime loss in Baton Rouge over the weekend. After suffering the defeat, a member of Vol Twitter discovered a photo of referee Anthony Jordan supporting LSU on Facebook. While that’s interesting in itself, it turns out Jordan was responsible for calling a vast amount of fouls in the game — with the majority of the calls going against Tennessee.

If you didn’t have a chance to catch the photo of Jordan over the weekend, here it is:

In response, the SEC issued the following statement on Monday:

“Anthony Jordan, the official in this social media post, has communicated to us that while traveling in Spain five years ago he saw the t-shirt from an SEC team for sale in a store. He took a picture and posted that picture to be seen by friends via social media account. He said it was his intent to make a light-hearted social media post about having seen the t-shirt in another country and not to express affinity for a particular school.

“Jordan has officiated at a high level in the SEC for 19 years, including 11 assignments in the NCAA postseason tournaments.

“We do not find this social media post to be acceptable with our expectations and will proceed accordingly, while also acknowledging Mr. Jordan has a lengthy track record as a fair and impartial basketball official.”

In addition to that comment, Tennessee coach Rick Barnes noted during his weekly Monday press conference that he has been in contact with the SEC since discovering the photo.

“I have been in contact with them since the game, a couple of different times and I appreciate them and how they talked to me and what we’ve talked about,” Barnes said. “Like I said, I have full confidence that they will do the right thing. I really do. They understand the situation and they are as upset about it as we would be but the fact is they’ll handle it and we have to get ready to play another game.”

It’s not clear what the league means when it says “will proceed accordingly” but you have to think some action will be taken as the SEC called this photo unacceptable.
