Proof of SEC apology

[blaker024]

Im arguing with my friend who is an LSU fan, the SEC sent a apology to UT about the missed fumble call on Jrussell. Does anyone have a link to anything talking about it?

 

[Volsfan895]

i had no idea they did :ermm:

 

[tvolsfan]

are you sure this happened? I don't think I heard that, and that seems like big news.

 

[blaker024]

it was very soon after the game, i remember hearing about it on the radio.

I don't know when (last 2-3 weeks?), but I saw a blurb in an article where CPF said he had gotten an apology from the SEC officiating office on that erroneous call. Can't remember whether it was an informal (phone call) or formal (letter) apology. Try searching the Tennessean archives as I think it was in there.

that was completely a fumble. i went beserk

SEC officials will occasionally acknowledge when they make an incorrect call. I think after the 2002 Alabama game they made such a statement.

what call from the 2002 bama game?

You talking about the old Brodie Croyle knee down shovel pass to the RB that went on a 30 yard scamper on a 3rd down. Yeah that sucked. That might not be what happened but my memory is fuzzy.

There was that play. That's the big one. There was also a forward pass that a UT receiver dropped a Bama defender picked it up and ran with it. The refs called it a lateral and fumble, with a Bama recovery.

i remember when the QB pitched it with a knee on the ground to the RB whose knee was on the ground and it went for a big gain

I wonder if Big10 basketball officals will do the same? :banghead2:

That was like 3rd and 12 too... The part that hurt the worst was S. Williams' knee being down... I can almost understand missing Croyle's knee, but not Williams.

That really sealed the game.

It was a phone call. Fulmer mentioned it in his post game comments after the Vandy game. The league reprimanded him for criticizing officials after that game (he was also unhappy with the officiating in Nashville.)

would it have mattered? didn't we miss the front end of 3 1-and-1's in a row?

you never know if you have 1.9 seconds left...anything could have happened

Everyone forgets that the running back's kneee was also on the ground.

 

[bleedorange4life]

I remember that play. I flipped out cause i was up in PP and could see both their knees went down. Ridiculous.

Hate to split hairs, but I will. It wasn't Croyle that beat us that year.
