Michigan-TCU Fiesta Bowl features SEC officiating crew, Ohio State alum - Maize n Brew

-

The Fiesta Bowl is now less than 24 hours away — Michigan is set to square off against TCU in what should be a competitive game at State Farm Stadium.

It’ll be the Big Ten going at it against the Big 12, and there will be an SEC officiating crew, per Football Zebras.

Here’s a look at who will be officiating on Saturday.

  • R- Jason Autrey
  • U- Brent Sowell
  • H- Nicholas Theriot
  • L- Michael Taylor
  • F- Daniel Gautreaux
  • S- Sean Petty
  • B- Martin Hankins
  • C- Chris Garner
  • Alternate- Scott Walker
  • Replay- David Almand
  • Communicator- Marc Gervais

Autrey, Petty, Hankins, and Garner all officiated in New Year’s Six bowl games last season or the National Championship Game. Sowell and Taylor were both bowl game officials last season.

There is something that’s certainly noteworthy and newsworthy about this officiating crew. A member of the crew is from a school that happens to be Michigan’s biggest rival.

Center judge Chris Garner, an SEC official since 2015, is an Ohio State alum.

Per Garner’s LinkedIn page, he attended The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business from 1996 to 1999. Officials are evaluated heavily on a big stage such as the College Football Playoff, and Garner will be assessed even more so due to his ties to the Buckeyes.

BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - Just over a week after winning the largest sports wager payout ever of $75 million, “Mattress Mack” was at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi to place another big wager. On Tuesday “Mattress Mack” McIngvale placed a $500,000 bet on the Houston Cougars to win the college basketball national championship. If Houston claims the title with 10-1 odds, “Mattress Mack” would win $5 million. The Texas furniture store owner said he isn’t making these big wagers just for the thrill of betting. “I make these bets because we do promotions at the furniture store. Like if the Astros win the World Series you get your money back,” McIngvale said. “I won $75 million on that bet, gave back $73 million to the customers and the other $2 million was expenses. It enables us to run these great promotions. People love them especially with local teams like the Houston Astros and Houston Cougars. We’re having fun with these sports promotions, they work very well and it makes us relevant as a f
