'25 Recruiting Forum: Official Tennessee versus Vanderbilt Pre-game/Game Thread

[Vol423]

That’s not showing me a flag being thrown on a stiff arm

Here's video of a QB (Baker Mayfield) called for a facemask, and it's discussed by Peyton, Eli and Joe Flacco.

THEY are not going to let us win this game....that OPI on that 1st down conversion on our last possession, followed by that pathetic ridiculous RTP that GAVE them a TD is all I needed to see.

Typical SECorrupt

 

[VolGee4]

Officiating wasn’t that bad until that last call. But it’s a call that’s literally a difference of 4 points, that’s the problem. When they **** **** up, it has to be game altering stuff lol

Three missed holds- two on TD, one on Pavia’s long run. Facenask call on Davis.

********. If we lose it's because our team is worse

The a**h***s would rather blame our team than blame the obviously corrupt zebras.

I just watched again. McMurray was running at him and let up. He was headed that way as Pavia released the ball.

I stand corrected. Pavia ran into the path of McMurray. You’re right.

This game has been pretty evenly called. It's humans making subjective calls and biased fans always thinking their team is getting screwed. It was a close call but I've seen way worse. We've got by with some things also. Our defense is the major problem in this game not the officiating.

Look at the calls THAT MATTER

The hold on the TD was a huge miss. Davis did tug the face mask.

Dude... there are so many busted coverages. We could be stomping their asses but you guys keep crying over referees

What’s the opposite of home cooking?

Sankey cooking

He literally launched himself lol

 

[WTNVol2]

If Dan Wolken says it’s questionable then it’s 100% not a penalty.

If you don’t think it’s bad and affects the outcome…just keep putting your head in the sand.

Win this half guys come on

Our defense has been bad all year. I thought the problem was DH and JM being out, but it wasn't that either. The interior is just bad.

He’s a Vandy grad- haha.

 

[jwilliams]

If you don’t think it’s bad and affects the outcome…just keep thinking it’s all good.

I played competitive sports. There are always bad calls. Just be better than the other team.

See, I’m certain you would have found at least 1 time it’s happened in 100+ years of football, but even the commentators are basically laughing it off as something you never see happen. I bet it’s been called like 0.0000000000001% of the time. So don’t ****ing call it ever or call it every time going forward. I think it’s safe to say it’s an unwritten rule you don’t throw that flag.

 

[WTNVol2]

He literally launched himself lol

The ex-Vandy QB said it looks like he tried to pull off the hit. Just sayin. Jordan Rodgers and Dan Wolken questioned the call.

 

[NMVol]

Finish the campaign!!

Its an accumulation of the whole season imo. We don't get a great home whistle when we really need it, and it irritates the hell out of me. Thus, I vent.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Possibly but Vandy getting the constant favorable whistle and non calls doesn’t help.

If you want to be blind to that then so be it.

Holds are gonna happen. Even blatant ones sadly. It sucks. But they’ve made a decision to allow them for “entertainment purposes” and not kill offensive drives. The facemask thing was stupid for sure but it was still 1st and 10 after it. That’s on us for not moving the chains.

So easy to say. Multiple, multiple missed calls. I played competitive sports too, and I officiated!
