They will always have my support. But it does not mean I have to ruin a Saturday with my family to get a nut punch from watching that loser lose us every game he plays in. I will give my ticket to another Vol fan and root for them. But I’m not going to ruin a whole day with my family and getting upset at a loss with him as our QB. Losers find ways to lose and that is what JG is. I can guarantee you the players are over him and they won’t fight for him like they did Maurer.

I respect your decision.

It was much more than just flags in this game to. Stopping the play on the wildcat, missing the roughing call on Maurer, spotting the ball three yards behind where our run got to, etc... It was the most corrupt officiating I have ever seen and I am not one to ever blame a game on officiating.

Was there ever an explanation to Pruitt, tweet, or anything to explain why they stopped the wildcat? They gathered , dispersed, and moved on like nothing happened and JP was just pissed. I didn't see them even talk to him

BRIAN NIEDERMEYER ON THE STATUS OF FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK BRIAN MAURER
“Oh, Maurer? He’s a great kid. Anybody else (with a question)?” :p
Click to expand...
Hmm...maybe Pruitt and the coaches know he’s ok and will start, but are going to withhold info, so that SC has to prepare for 2 QBs.

Its the performance and the lack of any awareness and not sense to seeing downfield..........................but you can possibly get over those things. You cant get over him running rogue with ****, which he has done before. I dont see how CJP and CJC can even start to trust him.

i don't think they do. i think more than anything it's about not having much of a choice...it's him, BM who hasn't proved to be overly secure with the ball nor can he stay healthy, and shrout, who they haven't trusted at all......at any point apparently.

i mean...i'd go with Shrout right now if BM can't go. and i'mi not convinced they won't. but i'd be hard pressed to imagine that we're gonna make it the rest of the way w/only 1 QB playing..........that's all i'm getting at. it's depth....

It was clearly to take 7 points off the board for us. There was no other explanation. Rigged.

If we got the same exact calls and non-calls that bammer got, we win by 2-3 TDs on Disco night in their place and Saban is humiliated. Not allowed by the Birmingham office and their ref minions.

publicly? Sure I would too but behind closed doors there is no way no how he ever sees the field again.

i think we're on the same page. they have to keep him engaged. just in case....how you do that? no clue at this point. but they get paid a bunch of money to figure it out.

.....{snip} The penalty margin closed in the 2nd half as Bama got flagged a few times to "make it even" so 13 vs 8 both for 93 yards, but ultimately one played shifted it from a 1 score last possession drive to a 2 score game over final drive.

That is how they roll. Call some in garbage time for the stats guys. But also bammers PI infractions were so over-the-top with the arm around the waist pulling! The numbers absolutely lie about how the refs stole our win.

Not that I know of. It looked like one ref really wanted to call a flag for something and then they decided what they could call in order to have an excuse for stopping the play.

i think we all agree no one wants to see JG out there again.

i don't.

all i'm saying is that the possiblity exists, and is extremely probable given how we've not been able to stay healthy behind JG.

i don't think the coaches do trust him, and i think they'll do what they can to keep BM healthy, and have shrout ready. i still wont' be surprised if i see #2 out there at some point, just out of necessity.......

Seems odd to say it but I'll feel okay about even 4-8 as long as we are competitive the rest of the year. Said Pruitt needed to show something, and I think he has. The QB situation is going to really hurt the team because right now we don't have one. If Maurer was healthy and could stay healthy I would feel decent about 5-7 or 6-6, but I think that position is going to cost us games we should win.

Honestly though, everything is just setting up for a huge leap forward next year. I think we win at least one out of the OU/UF/UGA/Bama gauntlet, and then in 2021 we'll be a legit upper-tier SEC team.

It's just too bad that the Birmingham officiating crew stole the big Bama win. Only chance Pruitt will have to feed Saban rat poison about scoring 100 points and bringing sheer hell and beating him under his own disco lights.

Now that I think about it, the stat that no assistant has ever beaten Saban needs an asterisk too. UT sports info needs that in the publications and tell the network people next year that is a disputed fact. F them

If we start Maurer this week and he hurts his head again the national media will kill Pruitt fair or unfair

Yeah, but he has already laid the groundwork for it being completely in the medical staff's hands. I have no clue what the extent of BM's injury is, but CJP has made it clear that the medical staff will be the ones making the call.....at least publically.

Nice job of thoroughness in cheating. They marked it short to begin with, then he looks not once but twice at the stick.

They’ll blow Bamas doors off, especially if Tua isn’t playing

eh...i might pump the brakes on that a tad. they get ARK and a week off before they see LSU in Tuscaloosa. plenty of time to get the back up ready. and it's not like there's not weapons galore.....i think Bama can definitely still compete with them.

plus LSU has the same problem with Bama and Saban that we had with Florida and spurrier in the 90's....

there's a lot to overcome for LSU....good news is, they have a qb that just isn't scared. Burrow is a lot better, but his mentailty reminds me of Casey Clausen. kid doesnt' flinch and is a great competitor....and loves the underdog, road warrior mentality.
