don't matter tennessee won but still that whistle should've never been blown...these refs make pee wee and high school refs look good...i mean really its to the point a ref can be a vandy fan blow the whistle for the hell of it and we cant challenge....i mean look at lsu and music city bowl last year we got screwed twice about time we turn it around...music city bowl was bad i was there the refs and annoucers both called the game over and then call some bs( like i said there needs to be a college for the zebra's) instead of just needing a GED

It didn't in this situation, but the rule is there because it would in others. It's not up to the judgement of the refs whether to let a play go on after the whistle. Once it's blown, the play is dead/over. Nothing that happens after counts. You can't score when a play is not in progress.

I'm glad we won, but not happy that it happened in this way.

It's going to be discussed ad nauseam on every major sport show whether it's television or radio. Yes, there were two blown calls and the result of the game would have been the same if none of this occurred, but they will make it very clear that the overturning of the call due to the review was the much larger error.

I guess it doesn't bother me nearly as much that it happened this way. Ideally, the refs would have called it right on the field and UT would have won. As it was, they screwed up twice and UT won. No one can claim that Vandy got hosed on that play or UT didn't deserve to win because of that play.

I don't know how Vandy fans don't realize we still would've had an offensive series, but the correct call was made, whistle should have never been blown.

Au contraire. Any opposing team trolls masquerading as Tennessee fans can very easily claim that.

Its too bad the refs screwed it up because it deflects the truth. His knee wasn't down so it is a score, or, we get the ball and score on aour offensive series. Vols win. Enjoy

If we win next week the same way, I'll be just as happy as I am now.

Regardless...of the situation...the correct play was called at the end of the game...his knee didnt hit...the only fact to prevail is...we didnt get screwed by a BAD CALL

Actually, he asked the guy who marked the play. That's the only guy who could have definitely said one way or the other. I imagine he looked up at the jumbotron, saw how absolutely horrible his call was, and denied that he blew the whistle.

In the end.... the play was called exactly as it should have been.

Same thing I told my son when it happened. Blew the call about 3 ways.

We had to cheat to beat Vandy. Everybody watching the game on TV heard that whistle at least three times. I suspect the SEC officials erred on the side of having two more bowl eligible teams.

Malik Jackson and Shane Reveiz jumped into my seat last night right after the pic six before they announced the first ruling. I helped pulled Reveiz into the bleachers and it will definitely be a moment I'll never forget. GBO!

it was a horrible miss in the first place. second all we had to do was hit a 32 yard field goal. they won't reverse anything.

UT had a challenge they could have used it to review the play or am I wrong

Since the refs had it covered on both sides they could've said the whistle was blown. End of story. I'm glad it didn't come to that! :good!:

How so?

Did we pay Rodgers off to throw 2 picks at the end of the game?
