No we are not wrong. We got robbed!

Tennessee reaction: Fans, media weigh in on end of Music City Bowl

Robbed.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Tired of our games being decided by someone else’s stupidity

Robbed for sure. But if you just handle that last series correctly you’re kicking the game winning field goal. Not sure why you keep trying for bombs to the endzone when you only need 30 yards for a FG to win. Those sideline routes and slants were working just fine.

Did they even need that far? 7 yards put them at his longest FG. 10-25 yards might have been enough to do the trick.

fell forward, after they quit, after the whistle?

When the whistle blew the ball was in the endzone.

They didn’t need that much but I’m talking easy chipshot range. Hell, the series prior the slant to Fant almost went to the house.

The whistle blew after he crossed.

A Tennessee tradition.

 

[VolBricks]

I was waiting for the Vols fans to start throwing stuff on the field, it was truly warranted this time.

 

[CampbellCountyVolFan10]

Exact reason I hate when referees call a stop in forward progress.

 

[MaxVolnGA]

WTF are the golf balls when you need them?

 

[rocketskates]

The way I see it, as a Braves fan this is my comeuppance for getting a WS this year. Karma would never allow all of my favorite teams to be successful.

Do we have a ruling on a player pulling another player forward?

Do we have a ruling on a player pulling another player forward?

I posted the rule. No one seems to care. You can't pull a player, only push from behind.

pass interference, interference with the opportunity to catch a kick or a personal

There should be a 30 for 30 on all of the Tennessee heartbreaking games.

Too many men on the field at LSU
The field goal screw job against NC
The forward progress Corral strip sack
The forward progress no touchdown
The 2009 game winning FG block against Bama
The 2000 Matt Mauck is a hero LSU SEC Champ game

Well anyway I could go on and on

Thanks for sharing.

UT should tell the Music City Bowl to shove it up their butt…. That they’re never coming back to get screwed again…. Let them have Mizzou and Northwestern or something similar

Except that’s not what happened

Except that’s not what happened

Fant clearly grabs him and pulls him.

C'mon.
