Referee expels supporter from Auburn-South Carolina
Wednesday's SEC matchup between Auburn and South Carolina was ruined by a total amount of 53 fouls, consisting of 8 straight versus Auburn to start the second one-half. Yet the action was not limited to the court.
Michael Hardin, a 41-year-old three-year baseline season ticket holder, was removed by referee Ted Valentine early in the 2nd half, the Montgomery Marketer stated.
"I do not use profanity or anything like that," Hardin told the Marketer. "Everyone was pretty distressed and yelling at him the whole time anyway. It was merely sort of my time I suppose and I informed him 'you reached blow your whistle [against South Carolina]' He didn't like that.".
