Refs have to be held accountable, UTAD. You do not budge.

[Godfatha]

For sure….. but it has absolutely zero to do with our getting hosed on TV by inept SEC officials. We see this each and every year, it does no good to be quiet about it.

Every interview for the next week should reiterate officials determining the outcomes of football games. We coulda won or lost on our own….

Wish more SEC schools would stand up. The refs did their damnedest to give the Texas A&M / Bama game to Bama. We see this every week of every year. The SEC has the integrity of professional wrestling.

You are conveniently forgetting the TD taken away on a horrendous call and all the fake “injuries” on the Ole Miss defense. Those things had more to do with the explosion than the spot. That and 90,000 people that loathe Lane Kiffin. Sad that all of that took away from a good game and one of the best individual performances I’ve ever seen in Corral.

 

[ArmchairQB]

Refs ineptitude cost TN a TD.
Velus Jones muffed punt gave OM a TD.
OMs constant "injuries" killed a few of TNs momentum inducing drives.
TN not spying Corral, specifically on third downs, was a key component of OM walking out of Neyland with a win.

Refs should be suspended and never officiate another SEC game again.

NCAA needs to enact some type of "injury rule".

If injury means you sit out the remainder of the possession instead of a play, you’d see a lot less fake injuries.

 

[jonnon111]

Embarrassing thread. Stop blaming the refs.

Stfu and show yourself out.

 

[TomcatVolFan]

How about the almost no call on the safety by Tennessee? It seemed like the referees took forever to make the proper call when it was obvious it was a safety.

 

[House of Neyland]

Refs made a few bad calls, but we still could’ve won. Missed FG, could’ve been kicking it to tie. We muffed a punt. We were too heavy on run in the first half. We never spied Corral. We lost that game, refs didn’t.

Yea we made mistakes but the refs still robbed us of that win.

It CERTAINLY does no good for the short-term (fines) or long-term (recruiting, goodwill) health of the program to become known as a trashy fanbase.

This will be a negative recruiting talking point against us. SEC programs will be saying...."Did you see this crap? and showing a clip of cheerleaders running for cover, a mustard bottle on the sidelines, and Kiffin holding a golf ball thrown at him....."Is this the kind of program you want your kid associated with?"

It's not tough, not passionate...... it's 3am Walmart, angry meth-head stupid behavior.

That was horrific.

 

[Orangethumb]

The refs definitely sucked tonight but we looked like a bunch of ignorant fools at the end of the game. We had plenty of opportunities to win in spite of all the BS.

 

[C1500]

You're a fool. Throwing things is childish and isn't "standing up" to anything. Grow up!

Since WHEN has "throwing things" worked in favor of those who did it?

Boston tea party, Sons of Liberty, Phineas Stearns. 1773.

 

[orangefloyd]

Yes I did scooter. Blaming the refs is the tool of the loser. Just like the losers throwing stuff on this field. UT doesn't need fans like that.

You don’t get to decide what fans UT needs scooter.

 

[Shaun1985]

I hate the two bad calls but don't get dominated on the line in the first half and it doesn't matter. Refs might make a slight difference but they didn't let this kid run for almost 200 yards.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Boston tea party, Sons of Liberty, Phineas Stearns. 1773.

vs a football game.

Seriously. Perspective.

 

[TheDeeble]

I agree.

Officiating isn’t consistent in this league.

Had that been Bama or Georgia in that moment, automatic first down.

It’s too biased.

Had it been bama or Georgia it would have been a first. Had it been bama or Georgia the strip td at the start of the game would have stood.

 

[njvols]

Might have been able to make a point of that before the fourth quarter display, but not now. There won't be any room for Tennessee complaints now. We're an embarrassment to the entire conference. You think they're going to give a crap what we say about that sort of stuff now? Nope.

No doubt...

A program passionate about their team and sick of being mistreated by the SEC? Hell yea I want my kid part of it.

Wrong

 

[obxvol]

Yeah you know the QB surrender, it was a new rule this year, it's in the fine print, I swear!!!!

BS… That was a busted play. He screwed the pooch. Touchdown Tennessee snowflake.

 

[schmalfungus]

The refs screwed us over tonight twice and costed us a win and Ole Miss should be investigated for faking injuries prove me wrong. Our fans were pissed and have the right to be they are passionate and hungry to win it didn’t bother me one bit that they showed their displeasure tonight. We got hosed somebody in the SEC office needs to be investigated. F the SEC refs and F that snake scumbag Lane!

once. We should not have been at 4th and 27

 

[teeball]

We aren’t going after the SEC when they are still coming after us (and maybe even more now after tonight)

I'm afraid you may be right. I fear that any bowl possibility will now be forfeited due to our fan behavior. That said, sadly social outbursts seem to be the only way to get action these days.

 

[Doc_Vol]

all the boomers embarrassed, 80+ percent of people born in the 80s forward love it. screw kiffy and the refs. JH will never be able to recruit at the level it takes to be a success here and if it wasnt for coach RG (maybe the only real coach on the staff) our d would be COMPLETE trash, had they have had their starting receivers and not those bums who dropped balls they would have torched us. Our secondary is weak sauce and now it looks like we get to watch Joe Milton over throw people or run out of bounds on the last play of the game for the rest of the season. He should never slap the sign leaving the locker room. We gonna get raped by Kensucky yall ready for that bs

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

A program passionate about their team and sick of being mistreated by the SEC? Hell yea I want my kid part of it.

No you don't. You want your 4* or 5* kid to be part of a stable program that acts like they've been there before AND will prepare your kid for the next level.

But thanks for playing.

 

[CNCVol88]

Refs made more than a slight difference.
They actively took away 6 points and relied on a man 20 yards back to be the authority on a game defining play. No. **** that.

 

[Doc_Vol]

once. We should not have been at 4th and 27

every time we got into a rhythm they flopped like an NBA player

 

[USAFgolferVol]

Amen. Someone with ****ing common sense.

Yep. It's common sense to throw objects on the field. Even more common sense to throw them at players. You're a voice of reason
