Georgia’s A.J. Green was flagged after celebrating this touchdown catch that put Georgia ahead of LSU late in the fourth quarter of their game Saturday. Green was flagged for an excessive celebration penalty, which gave LSU great field position on the ensuing kickoff for LSU’s Charles Scott to run down the field and score. Earlier today, the SEC said, “Our bad, yo.” You know, but in a real folksy way.
Rogers Redding, the SEC supervisor of officials, said Monday that after reviewing video of the play, “I’ve concluded that it was one that we probably should have let go.” via.
See that, Georgia? They said they were sorry! Don’t you feel better now? LSU won the game, their first win in Athens for the first time in 22 years. I’m sure they’re feeling just fine.

That’s not excessive. Excessive would be to start masturbating furiously onto a cheerleader’s back.
An apology is much more satisfying than a win.
Yeah, that penalty really changed the game. What would have also changed the game is tackling the kick returner or tackling the running back on the TD run, or when LSU got flagged for the exact same thing, not returning the kickoff only 11 yards or not throwing a pick to seal the win. But yeah, it’s the ref’s fault that UGA lost.
I think the way he just stood there and let his teammates congratulate him showed a complete lack of class.
I’ve seen more excessive celebrating at a funeral. That was BS.
I agree with Ronnie Dobbs. Unless he was being sarcastic. In which case I’d have to say he’s an idiot.
23 seconds from the time aj green caught the TD and charles scott ran in for a touch down. LSU was called for the same penalty. Geogia was given 48 seconds to come back and do the same thing that we did in 23, but they had a poor return and threw a pick….think its obvious LSU won because they were better. yes it was a bogus call, but georgia had their chance.
