NEW: I got a call from the SEC this morning offering an explanation from John McDaid, the coordinator of officials, re: #Mizzou-Texas forward fumble by Arch Manning.
For transparency's sake, here's the transcript of the full interview.

Wow. @GregSankey on Finebaum attacking announcers, calling them flat wrong for their criticism of his bought and paid for officials. There you have it. The commissioner of the SEC not taking accountability. When 15 out of 16 teams in the conference agree that officiating is at an all time low it’s time to do something. Instead he’d rather lambast the guys in the booth. Pathetic leadership.
Still reveling in this victory … our resilience, our mental and physical toughness, & our TEXAS FIGHT!! Thank you to all our fans that showed up and out for us on the road. Onward!!
😤🤘🏼🧡
The rules expert who worked the #Mizzou game & disagreed with the multiple replay review decision Saturday was the lead CFB referee LAST YEAR. He spent 16 years refereeing in your conference, the SEC.
You screwed up. Own it & be better for it. That’s all people are asking for.
"Some of the worst 'officials' in America are those in the announce booth."
"I am highly disappointed in the announcers."
Greg Sankey vehemently defends the SEC's officiating and details planned improvements:
NEWS: Kansas guard Melvin Council Jr. has suffered a broken right foot, per release.
Bill Self says he’s hopeful Council will return around the start of conference play.
Rich Clark said the CFP is aware of the fan sentiment and “that many fans aren’t in favor of expansion” but … “we owe it to them to make this great and that really is our intent. We did take into account their sentiment… but we decided to move forward with it.”
NEWS: Five-Star OT Antijuan Wilkes Jr. is down to 8 Schools, he tells me for @Rivals
The 6’7 280 OT is ranked as the No. 5 Recruit in the 2028 Rivals300

@TigerWill06@MIZJC9 Exactly, really makes me question the intelligence and the delusion of some of our fans. Do you want a real chance to make a playoff or do you want to play a meaningless bowl game that no one cares about?
