Dooley said he might appeal....

Where was the flag for the LSU lineman who threw his helmet?

I was wondering about that too, that bunch of "refs" were a joke. Also, the clock keeper gave LSU at least 25 extra seconds. We losta tough one, but we should get back on track in November.

Agree 100%...the previous coach had the team prepared to play, with very good sideline management. This BS did not happen last yr.

So....there is room for improvement or cycling of the staff.

Again, that is an incorrect perception. I saw tons of stupidity last year also, particularly with getting the play in early in the year. Also, again, that team was more experienced, this one, not so much.

Rather have a complete D bag that can recruit and coach that can get better records faster, or have a humble, nice guy that would take a few years to get started and eventually have a good team/coaching staff?

That makes no sense. Since when is the offense required to wait for the defense to be prepared?

as of 2000 NCAA rules on Subs.

Offensive teams, while in the process of substitution or simulated substitution, are now prohibited from rushing quickly to the line of scrimmage and snapping the ball with the obvious attempt to create a defensive disadvantage.

The first time officials detect such an action, play will be stopped when the ball is snapped and the offending team will be penalized five yards for delay of game. In addition, the head coach will be warned that any further use of the tactic will result in a stoppage of play and a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.

"More offenses are utilizing multiple substitutions, and those substitutes are coming onto the field just before the snap, which is not within the spirit of the rules," Ault said. "Defenses were at a distinct disadvantage because they had little opportunity to make necessary adjustments.

"We anticipate that having the possibility of being penalized will encourage offenses to abide by the spirit of the rules and eliminate such last-second personnel changes."

I couldn't disagree more. At some point, the players have to take some responsibility for things so often, when you see mistakes, it isn't the coaches. We're a lot younger this year and it shows.

Both coaches and players should take some responsibility, but I think publicly the coaches should accept responsibility and divert the pressure away from the players. Still I don't see how anyone can be impressed with what they've seen from Dooley so far.

Freeze the YouTube video at 2:00 exactly. The umpire has come back up to cover the ball. He clearly did that.

That's fine, LSU was set with a legal offensive formation before the snap of the ball. UT did not have a legal defensive formation in that they had 14 players on the field. Proper call by the refs.

may as well dispute it... not like we have anything else to lose haha

The game can't end on a defensive penalty, I had no clue it also can't end on an upstairs review with no flags on the field

I'm impressed. I think he's a guy that gives a damn, is honest, will gonna work his ass off, and loves the school and players. Give him time and a couple of recruiting classes and we'll be back in the hunt for SEC titles.

I hope this is a joke. His behavior at the end of the game was sickening. He should have shook Miles hand and taken responsibility for the loss instead of coming up with some crap about LSU snapping the ball quickly and wasting his time trying to appeal a call.

Shut up! I wouldn't of shook miles's hand either after that... If your not pissed after that game, then your not a fan!

What happens if the defense takes too long and the clock runs out? Just wondering, I've never seen that happen.

Game's over. It happens all the time when a team needs a TD and has no timeouts.

Actually, usually the team spikes the ball if they are going to sub (duh).

But LSU didn't, so that's why all the crazyness.

You ever been in a 'heat of the moment' moment? I can understand him wanting to get off that field and being upset. Its not like its par for the course with him. There's some damn perfect head coaches around that have never coached, that's for sure. Its easy to throw stones, I guess.

Geez. After all of that, what you choose to focus on is the handshake? Really?

All of that is great to have in a coach but it won't win games. There are a lot of coaches around the country with those qualities who simply don't win. But I hope your right and he does have us contending in a couple of years.

Kind of disappointing that the refs were fair for nearly 4 quarters, only to fail miserably in the final 30 seconds of the game.

Dude, we've had 5 games.....5, with a team that is as young as any in my memory. Before damning them all as failures, how about we all chill out, examine the bigger picture and realize that we should all be glad we don't have the "clapper" down there on the sidelines, lol.

Dooley is gonna be fine, as will the staff, but a little perspective fellas, just a little.

I'm focusing on his demeanor. He should be upset about the result. He shouldn't freaking run away.

In the post game press conference, Dooley was asked if he was going to appeal. It's amazing to me how people only listen to bits and pieces of an interview.

You're right. He shouldn't run away. However, I put a hole in the drywall and broke my remote control on the last play. How long have we wanted a coach that showed some real emotion besides clapping his hands after a horrible play, or blindside body checking our starting QB?

Also, I think les miles is an idiot and a fool and lucky. I just can't fault Dooley for being pissed off. I was always taught if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. I think Dooley didn't have anything nice to say.

Anyone think there should have been an intentional grounding call on Lee a few plays earlier when he threw it through the goal post with no receivers in the middle of the field?

They owe our players that much. This kids can figure it out. They're not as dumb as some of the VN homers here who never blame Dooley for anything.

Our coaches' fault - take responsibility, learn from it, and kick a$$ the rest of the season!

Where was the flag for the entire Tennessee team running on the field after that play?
