Angry Arkansas fans absolutely light up mentions on @SECOfficiating post
It’s been a tough year for Arkansas football fans.
First, there was the debacle against Auburn that saw a botched ball spike by Bo Nix ruled an incomplete pass, allowing the Tigers to kick what would be a game-winning field goal. Then, on Saturday against LSU, a targeting call against defender Jalen Catalon was upheld, although replays clearly showed that he was nowhere near making helmet-to-helmet with an opposing ballcarrier.
The resulting foul placed LSU in great field position, with the Tigers scoring an eventual game-winning touchdown to come away with a win.
You could make the argument that Sam Pittman’s team should be at 5-3 instead of 3-5 right now. So, it’s probably a given that Razorbacks were still in a bad mood on Monday. And they took out their frustrations on social media, specifically the @SECOfficiaing account.
Here’s a tweet from Friday:

Despite it being before the Arkansas-LSU game on Saturday, the responses came pouring in:
Arkansas beat Auburn

We need an explanation for the Arkansas vs LSU game

CAN WE GET AN EXPLANATION FOR ALL OF THE ARKANSAS GAME?!

Congrats on yet another poorly officiated game LSU vs Arkansas

I hate to think that any aspect of College Football is corrupt. But that’s the only explanation I can come to after the Auburn vs Arkansas and LSU vs Arkansas game.

Unfortunately, the Razorbacks won’t play this Saturday as positive COVID tests have meant that their game at Missouri will be postponed. But it’s clear there’s plenty of frustration among their fanbase that won’t go away any time soon.
They got hosed against Auburn, that was a joke. The LSU game was a little different, even though there was no helmet to helmet, launching off the ground against a defenseless receiver like he did still falls under targeting.
Except he didn’t launch, so, there goes your argument.
I would love to see the video your watching. You appear to be the only one that thinks he launched. He doesn’t leave his feet until he is upended by the receiver.
He sure seems to be the only one who hasnt watched the video.
I will argue that LSU got the bad call on a touchdown catch that clearly was made and not allowed. On the fumble hog fans are crying about you could clearly see the football loose and the LSU player get possession of it. The hogs kept pulling and yanking and finally got it but after the play was over. The mistake the officials made was not saying that.
I would argue that the officials blew it at Auburn by blowing the whistle too early. But had that bonehead play by Bo Nix been called it would have been a gift to the hogs. Not anything earned.
By the way, Arkansas has never lost a close game where they were not cheated. Just ask them. This has gone on since Frank blew the game of the century in 1969 even though Missouri was better than the Hogs that year.
I love desperate fans! Hogs 0-10 third down conversions, Total plays LSU 91 HOGS 53, Time of Poss LSU 41:43 HOGS 18:17 but that one play cost ya’ll the game. Coaches and player even know they lost. Get over it!
That’s comical and a statement to how bad your offense is. Double up on time of possession and only win by 3 due to a horrible call even the announcers said was wrong over and over?
Enjoy last years season, you’ll be wishing you had Miles back before too long!
No it shows how bad the defense is. Even without 2 starting corners, and new scheme, we were able to go into your stadium and beat another high school quality team. Man we’re good!
So its gotten so low at LSU that their fans are bragging about beating a team they beat by 50+ a year ago. Comical.
Roll Turd!
