Let all the Bulldog faithful rally behind the men who now wear the red and black with two words, two simple words which express the sentiments of the entire Bulldog Nation: Auburn Sucks.
Sad to report that after a long battle, my friend Penn Wagers has passed away. He will surely be missed. Prayers to Marcie and his family. pic.twitter.com/c1zarPHH7Z
From The Senator himself, Penn Wagers is Real and He’s Ridiculous:
I’m not about to stoop to blaming yesterday’s loss on the officiating – you don’t play sixty minutes of consistent football against a team on a roll like Auburn is, you generally don’t win – but as far as I’m concerned this is beyond the pale when you’re talking about how a SEC official should behave during a game:
Wagers steps into an argument with Richt, which is bad, but then steps back into it after Richt turns away to continue complaining, admittedly in a heated way, to another official. The sense of satisfaction when Wagers throws the flag is almost palpable. It’s also inexcusable. It’s supposed to be the official’s responsibility to calm the waters, not to stir them even more. Well, at least if you’re referring to competent officials, it is.
Now I’ll be the first to say I’m not reveling in another’s passing. I’m also admitting since I can’t see any news reports about this outside of Twix, so this could be parody or a hoax.
But I haven’t thought about Penn Wagers’ name in quite some time.
Penn Wagers and Angel Hernandez are the only game officials I have ever known by name. It you cannot be famous you might as well be infamous I suppose.

I’m going to take the high road and not say anything else.
Understanding, that when your number gets called, we all will get our wings, then be heaven bound…as the Big Guy took our esteemed Senator, Ranger Russ, he had other plans for them and so many others…taking penn wagers from us, now thats a pile of shit with a different odor…penn wagers was potentially the first in the true AI department…Ass Inine….may he rest with a yellow hanky stuck up his ass….
Underrated reference – gave me a good laugh. Thanks!
In sincerity, it’s possible to both get a good chuckle from a comment like this about “villains” in the UGA football story AND – on the human side – feel for their family/friends.
Time wounds all heels.
I will abide by what my mama (God rest her soul) taught me. I will not say anything at all.
Mark Twain once said, ” I have never wished death upon anyone but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”
He will be missed by those who loved him.
I googled and saw it was after a long battle with cancer and dementia. Prayers for his family. I was glad when he retired.

This news really brightened my day! Dementia huh? That might splain a few things. God might forgive him, I sure as hell won’t.

I hope his family finds peace in his passing. Cancer and dementia suck. Combined … I can’t imagine.
For Wagers the official, he was one of the worst in the business.

Wow – so it’s okay to rag on Penn but not say a word about Michael Adams?Dude, you need to rethink some of your posts.
