Wilbur Hackett Jr. vs Stephen Garcia (referee hits quarterback)

A highly controverial play during the LSU Tigers @ South Carolina Gamecocks game October 18, 2008. SEC Referee Wilbur Hackett Jr. collides with South Carolina's quarterback, Stephen Garcia during a play.

Was the referee defending himself or was he making the play? (Hackett was a former SEC Linebacker)

LMAO. yea no doubt dat Hackett still got being a linebacker in his blood....check out dat footwork on da hit....Hackett had his eyes locked on Garcia

but hey take it easy, he couldnt help it.... he's a LINEBACKER!

defending youself would be moving out of the way,not shuffling over to the player and shoving your shoulder up and into the player.... completely intentional

Wilbur is a really nice guy. He was my trainer at Toyota Mississippi.

Is it controversial? Yes.

I think it's funny when the ref looks down at the player after he hits him. lol.

[kimpigoinksalot]

probably just another racist...

[mechlinginc]

god damn get the fuck outta the way wilbur, god damn mother fucking referee hitting him and stopping the play, pisses me off

[BigAlbinoDonky]

I actually think referees should get to wear shoulder pads and be able to hit too....you see them getting trounced and run over all the time, why shouldn't they be able to defend themselves?
