I guess you know more than a veteran commentator. What do you do for a living? I'll choose to ignore the "idiot" thing.
Those two bozos last night were pretty sorry....they were coaching the game, not announing it.
I hope you can take another look at the play (turn off the sound)....there is no need to continue your argument....it was not recovered by GA, inspite of the ESPN2announcers.
You don't know what would have happened had UGA gotten the ball.
I'm watching the replay and UT (Neal) fumbled with 5:34 left in the 1st. The replay clearly shows a fumble, recovered by UGA, and the commentators said that the refs got it wrong by giving UT the ball back. Anyone who says that the refs were biased is thinking one-sided.
Let me say first that the refs did not cost us the game.
The first possession of the third qtr set the tone in my opinion and we laid an egg, again.
But, the ref that missed the two PI's against us, and made the two huge PI's for GA (the big tall old black guy), was none other than ole Alamma Matthews, the Vandy grad who hates UT, and who made the Gaffney "catch" call that allowed the Gators to steal one from us a decade ago. He hosed us in that game on several other calls and after that year Fulmer had the SEC take him off our games and he didnt call any of our games till the Punk took over, then the blackball was lifted. Dooley should see about reinstating it now.
This guy should never call one of our games, EVER.
There should be a rule that no SEC grad can ref in the SEC. Keep it simple.
You got beat. Deal with it.
Yes, we got beat. But that officiating crew is still terrible.
Same game, UGA ends up punting on 4th and 57? As a Georgia fan, you have to agree that those officals "decided" that it was time to start calling holding penalties during that stretch.
I believe that officiating crew makes a conscious effort to impact the game. Some form of holding occurs on about 80% of offensive snaps, if you interpret the rule book and apply it literally to every play.
I don't know WHY this particular crew does it, but they do. Not just UT games, either. It seems that every game I've watched in which this crew is working, suspect officiating occurs at critical "momentum points" during the game.
