You don’t want to mess with this referee in the National Championship Game who is completely jacked, neither does Twitter.

Alabama and Clemson met up on Monday night for the 2017 National Championship in the third annual College Football Playoff. The rematch from last season’s title game had all the hype and there were even a surprising number of people predicting a Clemson win over the mighty Crimson Tide.

However, the Crimson Tide drew first blood in the title game, but that wasn’t what Twitter was paying the most attention to. Casual fans were wowed by the game’s officiating crew — one member of it, in particular.

One of the referees in the game actually looked like he came from a bodybuilding competition and suited up in a zebra uniform. Just check out the arms on this ref:

Obviously, when a lead official is this big during the national title game, Twitter is going to have some opinions about it. This tweet from ESPN CollegeFootball is perfect because, well, that’s what everyone was thinking. You know this ref isn’t skipping arm day.

Heck, he looks like he could put on a uniform right now and run out there with the Crimson Tide defense and no one would even realize he wasn’t one of the players. The guy has bigger arms than Bo Scarbrough. I kid, sort of.

As usual, Twitter lost its mind over the biggest referee since Ed Hochuli. If you don’t know that name, look him up. These two guys could definitely be brothers.

Let’s take a look at some of the best Twitter reactions to the beefy referee.

Consensus opinion: this ref is gigantic. If you’re looking for a New Year’s resolution or a goal, just pin this ref’s picture to a bulletin board and don’t stop working out until your arms are half his size. Holy gun show.
