Do you know who is assigned to us already?

No. I saw your posts about the line moving and was starting to wonder who we got. It shouldn't be that the referee assignments cause anxiety or dread in the fan base... but it does.

It's sad my mind goes there every game but the SEC/NCAA has conditioned me to think like that.



*I want to enjoy college football but between the shadiness of the conferences, unlimited transfers, legalized gambling on amateur sports, the inconsistency of the NCAA, and the staggering amount of money involved it's made it feel like every game is scripted. And the fans are the suckers footing the bill.

Greed/stupidity/desperation will ultimatly kill college football. (See Lane Kiffin's offer from the gatas)





Either way......

Agreed 100%. Can’t enjoy games anymore the way we should, due to all of the outside influences.

I wish the SEC had the decency to be transparent about reviews like the ACC does. I really like that.


Sankey doesn't have the spine to do the right thing and change the optics of the conference. Gotta protect the gumps

what is Carter's injury that may keep him out?

Will Davis ever play this season?

Kitzle needs to catch the ball tonight

Matthews needs to catch the ball tonight

Heup needs to play/call the game like '21-22 seasons

Defense and Banks needs to............................................ well............. just try to keep them from scoring 40 on us and we may win by a field goal...

My research of the Internets seems to reveal that we won't know the status of Arion Carter until 90 minutes before kickoff.

Brock Purdy has been out for a month and I remember Peyton being out for a while with turf toe. Carter playing with it on both feet just Seems crazy.

Per @mr.checkerboards

Kyle Olson will be our Birmingham assigned referee this evening.....20231202_164916.jpg
Kyle did our 2024 Arkansas game (we lost), our 24 UTEP game, and our 23 UCONN game. Out of all the nonalabama born referees, he's my least favorite.




*I still think we win but I don't think it'll be a blowout or an enjoyable watch for VOL fans. I hope I'm wrong but I think we're in for a frustrating game. Ic61-1964115651.gif

I guess it’s better him than David Smith or James Carter. I don’t know. I’ll reserve judgement to see how the game is called. If they call a single holding call against UK, then it will be better than the gump refs.
