David Pollack, social media reacts to controversial penalty reversal

David Pollack reacts to the controversial penalty reversal in the Georgia versus Texas game

During the Georgia Bulldogs’ 30-15 win over the Texas Longhorns, there was a major controversy that ensued when Texas fans threw beer into the stadium after a controversial pass interference call. The referees to picked up the flag after a delay due to the trash on the field and negated the pass interference, which was even more questionable.

Former Georgia Bulldog and ESPN analyst David Pollack was not happy, and he went to X, formerly known as Twitter, to sound off on the officials and on the broadcast booth for being silent about the situation.

“Wow I have never seen that in my life,” said Pollack. “The fans threw bottles on the field and the refs literally changed their call. That is such horse crap man. That’s one of the worst ways of handling a situation I have seen. Can’t believe they ain’t talking about that in the booth.” 

Perhaps they were at a loss of words from the picked up flag just like Georgia fans were. Fowler literally said “Oh my goodness,” as soon as the ruling was enforced. Kirk Herbstreit stuttered upon himself trying to explain what was going on at first, before saying, “I knew this would light Kirby’s fuse. How could it not? The call’s already been made!”

Regardless, it was a messy situation of making a bad call worse. Many fans, including David Pollack, were irate over it.
