Your judgment is clouded. I do believe that it was not a fumble, but it was very, very close. If it wasn't even close, as you suggest, they sure took a long time in reviewing the play.

I just thought it was funny that the announcers were talking about how Berry and the defense needed to score to carry the offense, and Berry picked it up and scored.

I think if I was a ref, I would have called it down, but I also don't believe the ground caused the fumble in any way.

Here's the worst part...we still lose by 2 tds, easily.

This kind of stuff doesn't even matter anymore...

More than the BS calls, I'm pissed that our recievers don't know where the 1st down marker is , that killed 2 drives that I remember. Then there's our offensive line that can't pick up blocks, I thought that was supposed to be our strength this yr, an experienced line...and the sideline reporter is saying they are having to have things drawn out on the sideline on who's blocking who? WTH?

The call was right. Anyone ever noticed? Nobody ever argues with the replay judge out loud.

You're probably right, but never underestimate the power of momentum. 16-10 is a completely different kind of ball game in the 3rd quarter versus 22-3. But yeah, we probably would have lost anyway. I just wanted Berry to have another return for a TD more than anything.

I thought I heard Todd say he thought the ball was coming out before he hit the ground.

And I never heard a whistle.

I focused my attention on the ref right by the ball while berry was running it back. The ref did not signal the ball down until berry was into the checkerboards...

That's what I saw too. That's why I thought it was a touchdown to begin with. The ref that called it down was on the opposite side of the field and couldn't see it as well.

That's what it looked like when I saw it today. But anyway...

I thought it was a fumble too honestly, even though the reuling was not enough to overturn it;

another thing too you have to remember is you're unranked playing the number 2 team in the nation, no ref wants to be the one who makes the wrong call and costs a team that high their season; so if it's real close and good really go either way, they're going to go with the higher ranked team, it's a ref thing

how/why would anyone argue with the replay judge? It would either get shown on national tv as stupid, or it would be pointless since they're's no way to have someone else look at it after the review

This is the reason everyone in the country hates UGA and their fans. Your arrogance is palpable.
If it wasn't even close then why did Eric Berry end up with the ball.

Yeah because the ref's are always right when the agree with each other. I know it doesn't change anything now, but come on because they all agreed it was a good call. I am waving the BS flag on this statement.

the fact is, that the ball carrier was not ruled down as the play happened. Berry Picked it up, took it to the house with no whistle, or ruling...which means the refs by rule have to make it a fumble and reveiw to see if it wasn't. Which means it would have been ours, because it was too close to change. If the ball carrier is ruled down which he was, the refs should have stopped the play to prevent injuries, which they didn't. We should have gotten the TD originally by NCAA ruling, and they wouldn't have overturned it....but I didn't think it was a fumble.

So I was just watching the Phil Fulmer show and I saw that fumble for the first time on TV and that definitely looked like a fumble. Maybe I didn't see it enough, but I'm thinking that should have been a TD for us and 16-10 game instead of a 22-3 game.

Did anyone DVR this game? When you go back and watch it over and over, was it as obvious as I thought it was?

I know it doesn't matter now, but I'm curious.

Just watched it. It was not a fumble.

Clawson's sh%tty idea of flip flopping OLinemen might have something to do with the kids not knowing whom to block. I would get confused too. What kind of bush-league coaching is that? I've never heard of that before we brought Clawson's lame ass to Knoxville.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda. If if and buts were candy and nuts. We lost and would still have lost because we have an anemic offense and the defense would of continued to be absolutely worn the hell out.

I was there and that call (the 2nd bad one) broke Tenn defense spirit. That was it. Another example of the refs screwing up a good game.

When it rains, it pours. I agree, if the call was a fumble it would have stood, however, the second the ref said the call was down by contact, I knew the TD would not stand.

Never discount the value of momentum, but considering the way our offense played last night the refs were the least of my worries. The interference calls were horrible, but who knows how much of a difference a "no call" would have made towards the end result of the game (i.e. losing).

Killing the spirit of an team who was up against and undefeated national title contender.

Seems low down to me. Watch the game. WE were in it until those 2 obviously blown calls.

Our guys threw in the towel after it was clear the refs were not going to allow them to gain momentum.

Give yourself a "freakin' break".

I went to the game to support my team. Where were you?
