Lou Holtz: "Let's remember this: every call went against Tennessee today"

[mtennvol]

:no:

Except it really can be a verb.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Except it really can be a verb.

Sure it can. Just did not like how you used it.

 

[mtennvol]

Sure it can. Just did not like how you used it.

Gotcha. If it makes you feel better, I'm still a fence rider on Dooley's status.

Somewhere an English teacher is smiling.

They consistently missed facemasks, holds, blocks in the backs, the ENTIRE game. Our lineman fell on this ball and the refs know it. Unbelievable

I saw a lot of things like that which were not called. The calls seemed lopsided.

 

[munsterlander]

The people on here that say that Sal lost the the game for us are wrong.

1. Everyone know are D sucks!
2. 3rd and three and Bray goes for the home run ball every time.
3. When the best part of your team is your O, you have to find away to make long drives and keep our D on the sideline. NOT throwing the ball all over the place. Going three and out four or five times this game.
4. The best part of this football team the O-line gave away this game.

FIRE AWAY!

What Lou forgot to add was "Including the calls made by their defensive coordinator."

If it comes down to blaming the refs, then your team was not that good to start with!

No Sunseri's defense lost us the game!

you people are crazy this defense will work. you can't expect everyone to get it year 1. this d gives up a few plays they shouldn't a game give them a year of experience and an influx of talent tailored to it and they will be fine.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

I think we could rush 11 defenders every play and give up less points.

just don't straddle it too long, it may be barbed wire.

99.9% of the time I agree. BTW, this is 99.9% of the time

 

[TNnative]

I thought Mark Mays was gonna lose it laughing when he said that

well holtz DOES tend to give may more than his share of amusement... Perhaps Holtz said that hoping for a return to coaching.....nah wouldn't happen

 

[d3vols]

The referees did not lose this game for us

Sure as hell didnt help.

 

[VolMax]

It was right...if they didnt call that horsesheet horsecollar on the first drive and we keep that fumble, different outcome

They missed one, maybe two horse collars against them, IMO.

Yes and Clowney damn near took Lane's head off with that horsecollar/facemask combo tackle.

 

[bbeacham]

The refs aren't losing the games for us. We are doing that very well without their help. If Tennessee was taking care of business like it should be, a couple of bad calls wouldn't make a lot of difference! Our football team sucks without the ref's help.

Nobody should be getting help from the refs. A well called game is where the refs are invisible. We aren't the talent rich team of 1999, so the bad calls against us do matter a lot.

 

[govols/cc]

It's worse when bad calls go against us & legit calls aren't made for us.

 

[dan4vols]

Defense wasn't great, but we were in the game until the Bray fumble. Personally, I thought they awarded the ball to SC pretty quickly given there was still a pile. But, my biggest question, why didn't Dooley challenge the out of bounds and try to save a timeout?

For pretty much the same reasons he didnt call a time out in the Gator game when passes started getting dropped as much as the players heads and Gator players started mocking our players and changed momentum. He's a very nice man and a exceptional administrator, but lacks the instincts to be a savvy bawl coach in the SEC.

 

[rkw38]

The refs played a part in our losing of the game. Absolutely.

So did our offense, defense, special teams and coaching staff.

 

[TNnative]

Don't mean to offend with this, but I gotta say it; at least Lane is still walking.

What's your point?

Bull shyt. UT had opportunities late in the game and couldn't finish. The refs had nothing to do with it. The officiating did suck, though. The horse collar on Shaw was garbage. However, Clowney got held several times, and it went unnoticed. UT definitely got the worse end, though.
