Back in 2000, the SEC told us he would not officiate a UT game again because he obviously had a grudge vs. us being a Vandy TE in 1981 when he made that call on the field that Gaffney made a catch.
He was the one in the middle of every PI call last night that didn't get called or went against us.
Wow! Didn't know this. Now it all makes sense as to how someone could miss 2 obvious PI calls on our guys and then call 2 PI against Vereen that were very questionable calls at best. Those calls alone would have most likely made up an 11 point difference in the game at least (we score a TD instead of FG on Rivera PI missed call; they punt because of one PI instead of continuing drive for FG and they kick FG instead of scoring TD after another PI call on 3rd and goal)! And who knows what happens when we would have gotten a 1st down after Marlin got mauled by their LB on 3rd and long. Some things are tough to swallow. We beat ourselves enough sometimes, much less having the refs or one particular ref making calls or no calls to beat us! Frustrating! Unlike all the other negative fans that we have on this website, as disappointed as I am with the loss last night (hurts worse cuz I live in Georgia unfortunately), I will still pick myself up and be ready to pull for our kids this Saturday! I hope that the rest of our fans will do the same. We can't get upper level talent, if all that these recruits see from our fan base is how negative and unsupportive our fans are during times like this. They want to play somewhere that has a fan base who will support them no matter what. I hope these kids will pick themselves up and play hard against LSU! GO VOLS!
I have no words for this kind of thinking. If UT had won, officiating would be a non-factor. I'll stick with my previous comment.
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.

Had UT won, the officiating and commentary would have still been atrocious.
First non-PI call on UT, I was like, cool, they are letting them play. Same with the second.
The two PI calls that resulted in 10 points for UGA were the same as the two non-calls.
In the fumble that "should have been overturned," the hand on the ball was wearing an orange glove. UGA player was wrapped around that hand on one side, and ball on the other. Dual possession goes to offense.
It was awful officiating on both sides. The 4th and ridiculousness was makeup calls to keep UGA from putting up another 7, and that also was bad officiating.
Tennessee got beat on the field. Both teams got assaulted by the officiating, and both teams should be pretty pissed at that crew.
