Guess which ref was working the TN at LSU game when Dooley’s team was flagged for too many players on the field because the officials did not hold the snap until the defense was given an opportunity to sub after the offense subbed. That guy.
One of the 2 games that TN won that year that were counted as losses.
I may be wrong on this but I thought the substitution rule was enacted (the next year) as a result of this specific play. As such there was no rule on that day. I’m probably not wrong in assuming they screwed up some other call that day, but I don’t think this play was one of them.
The 10 second run off was enacted the next year after UNC beat TN in the bowl game without that rule in effect.
Dooley was arguing right after the LSU game was final that the refs were supposed to hold up the snap to allow defensive substitutions to be made. I think that the rule was in place but not understood. That was the first time that I ever became aware of it.
How many egregious mistakes and suspensions does this guy and his crew get before something is done?
This is the same guy who in 2009 called a phantom personal foul on Arkansas and cost them the FL game that year. His crew made egregious calls in back to back games that year and was suspended for a few weeks.
He lives, you guessed it, in Birmingham. How much more do we have to put up with out of this clown. His crew is easily the worst in all of college football.
This is the same crew that earlier this year signaled a play dead but allowed Memphis to return the punt and allowed it to stand, being the difference in the MSU/Memphis game.
So, this is 2 games that we know of this year that his crew has actually been the difference in the game by officiating Screw Ups. In 2017 his crew was suspended again for a month after Screwing up the KY/Mizzou game.
HOW MANY CHANCES DOES THIS LOSER GET BEFORE THE SEC LETS HIS SORRY A$$ GO?
This is atrocious. It's time we did something besides throw an empty bottle.

This video is the best analysis of the Saturday events, the problems and the possible solutions. From a man on the field:
I have said for years that publishing those currently confidential grading reports would solve the problem quicker than any other single step. The ones who can’t cut it would soon retireAren’t these guys graded by the league? They seem terrible and you’d think the school Presidents would apply pressure to ensure only the best keep the jobs year after year.
The reason for the lengthy suspension in 2009 after the Arky-UF was to investigate gambling ties......
Granted, there was a lot of scrutiny of refs during that timeframe due to Tim Donaghy scandal.

Also reffed the Ga State -- Auburn game and made a game changing wrong call in that one too.Crew members officiated in both Tennessee-Ole Miss and Mississippi State-Memphis controversial games this season.

Can that investigation be FOIA requested? I'd like to see the evidence reviewed that the SEC chose not to act upon. And who reviewed and signed off on it.
Unless the SEC shared the information with another public institution, then no. Even if they did, likely would out of any Record Retention policies.
This guy should be nowhere near a SEC field. Just a decade+ of blown calls, suspensions, reprimands. I don't think he's corrupt. He's just incompetent.
Mr. Curles is around my age and is a graduate of Georgia Tech, so since he and I grew up in the same era, we played Georgia Tech nearly every year, from 1972-1987, except for 1974, 1975 and 1978.. Tennessee had a record of 9-3-1 against Tech during that time period, so I would think it reasonable to assume that he definitely doesn't like the Vols, since Tennessee had the upper hand in the rivalry during our time growing up. I don't think any of these referee's should officiate our games if the schools they graduated from or are fans of personally, are considered to be main rivals of the Vols in the past or present, and GA Tech was certainly a rivalry game when I grew up.
Or...they’re just doing what they’re told.This is really pathetic actually. And they keep getting away with it.

In today’s world, do you not think that a corporation like the SEC doesn’t look at the bottom line? Tennessee is probably maxed out at 6-6 and going to a crummy bowl, 7-5 probably wouldn’t change that much(that’s assuming we are even allowed to play in a bowl) A top 10 Ole Miss team has a chance at getting to a more glamorous bowl, thus more money for the league.
That’s why I don’t think Georgia fans should be getting all cocky. They still will probably play bama in Atlanta and my guess is the SEC likes their chances at getting 2 one loss SEC teams into the playoff, better than 1 undefeated and 1 with 2 losses.
GBO!!
