Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

I’m pretty even keeled on my observations in basketball. This game has been atrociously called, not even close.

Just against us though right? Arizona on UGAs gotten all the calls . Blaming refs is a TN fan tradition in all sports it seems.

 

[RikidyBones]

That foul has yet to be called in the other end. That's my beef

 

[ChattownVFL]

Can't blame the refs when you play like ass on offense. Foul trouble can make you play stiff and scared but if you're a top 10 team you can't just go completely cold

Yes you can. It's the difference in the game

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Awww truth hurts sometimes huh?

GO VOLS

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Uh Oh

 

[jakez4ut]

Be nice if we would stop jacking up 3s so much

They just need to go in...

 

[reVOLution33]

That was great back to back possessions.

Sounds just like when we are losing a football game. Well it isn’t that we are playing bad or the other team is playing good. It’s always the refs .

There are fans that always blame the refs, it's true. It doesn't mean that blaming the refs is never valid.

If you've ever read/heard the stories from the corrupt NBA officials that were fixing games, and you're familiar with how they did it, and then you see a crew doing all of those things, it's hard not to question the how/why of calls that are individually ticky tack but questionable on the whole.

Reffing in basketball at all levels is largely inconsistent, that's nothing new. It is odd when it is consistently inconsistent for one team. People are going to get the tin foil hats out when they see that, right or wrong.

My trust in officiating has been completely compromised since the NBA stuff and scandals in boxing.

You haven’t been watching this. Been bad, and numbers show it

 

[BigSteve09]

Please let Uros make the game winner or stuff their attempted game winner

Are you watching the game?

I think it still says a lot about how this game has played out this far and we've gotten it back to a 1 pt game.

This team is good. If they can get out of their own way, they could be great...

I like how the compete though. Not always pretty.. But they don't stop competing.

 

[SmokinBob]

Now it’s Vols v Notre Dame - vote!

 

[jakez4ut]

That was dumb.

 

[BigOrange15]

The refs aren't making us jack up terrible 3s, leave dudes uncontested going to the rim, or throw the ball into the aether for a turnover.

 

[PassedOutAwake]

Key is just tossing up 3s and nothing has been close
