Fans letting SEC's Officiating Twitter account hear it following rough first half from Columbia
Alabama has jumped on South Carolina during the first half but it’s hard to argue that the Crimson Tide have been finding themselves on the right side of a few calls.
A borderline call against South Carolina on a fake field goal that resulted in a touchdown was called back, the Gamecocks downed a punt inside the two-yard line only to have to re-punt due to an illegal shift. On the ensuing return, Alabama had a blatant block in the back that was not called. Right before the halftime break, South Carolina appeared to score a touchdown but was ruled down at the one-inch line.
The play was not reviewed and South Carolina did not score after going for it on fourth and goal from the three.
After all that, SEC fans were quick to let the official SEC officiating Twitter account have it:

Indeed! And for his final initiation ritual he was confronted by the unbreakable bond shared between @SECOfficiating and @AlabamaFTBL. It's a rite of passage. https://t.co/57yBnTQjlf

Remember, the SEC narrative prop from which @GamecockFB benefits so richly has a value hierarchy. Ironically, the @SEC brand SC wears so proudly would be tarnished by a SC win since they are playing the “Tide” that raises all ships (pun intended). #SEC #UAvsSC @SECOfficiating https://t.co/Wx5deTEgu0

Seriously need an explanation on not reviewing that goal line play at the end of 1st half in #gamecocks #bama game. Atrocious mistake on primetime tv, just so damn sloppy.
