Check Out This Gator Cheapie

We thank the Bulldawg Blawg for hunting down this cheapie. Florida's Lawrence Marsh jumps offside — a penalty that is not called — then Gator defensive tackle Clint McMillan flattens Matthew Stafford after the Georgia quarterback takes a knee. Adding to the mess is that there is no whistle until after McMillan's blatant infraction. Then the referee gives a rather bizarre explanation of what has just transpired.

As for the overall quality of officiating, it's clear the Southeastern Conference has seen better years.

Keep them coming! We already have several outstanding candidates for Cheapest Shot of the Year, and we will put this to a vote of the readers at the end of the season, just like we did in 2006. One cheapie we continue to seek is Georgia linebacker Dannell Ellerbe being blocked below the knee by a South Carolina player during the Sept. 8 game in Athens. Can anybody help us out?
