The most ridiculous "no call" against the Vols ever?

[ClockworkOrange]

There sure have been plenty, but one of the worst "no calls" I ever saw was during a game against Bama years ago. I forget the year, but the Bama QB went down to one knee while still holding the ball, then pitched it to a running back who ALSO was down on one knee when he caught the pitch, who promptly raced off for a long gain. Both calls missed on the same play. (Of course, how we failed to stop an RB who was kneeling when he took the pitch is our own fault). I think this may be around 1990?

And yes, I know, this happens to all teams. But seems like some are more "equal" than others.

Edit: I think OrangeJuiceJones and Orange Alert are right (below) -- I think I had the wrong decade. Maybe 2002?

I seem to remember this around 2002

I think it was 2002.

By a referee that was a Vanderbilt grad that was throwing his hands up before the ball even got to the receiver.

All of them this coming Saturday.

I am STILL steamed over that one

In my opinion, that might be the worst call to go against Tennessee I’ve personally seen.

That TD non catch would have been overturned 100 out of 100 times if there had been review back then....To be honest I didn't remember until a year or so ago that it was just 2nd down.....I was so mad so long over that call I'd convinced myself it was on 4th down.

This still makes me sick. Worst call against us ever.

Wasn’t the ref that made that call either a Vandy or Florida graduate?

Randy Sanders not "calling" to put a blocker on Florida's #13 Alex Brown in 1999.

 

[The Ron Mexico]

But Tennessee made up for it in 2004 with a call that eventually set up Tennessee for the game winning field goal.

Vandy. Officials are not allowed to call games of schools they attended.

Yup, found it. Al Matthews was the line judge that made the call. Put his his hands immediately to signal TD. Then pulled them down before signaling touch down again. Head of Crew had to ask him if he was certain and he affirmed touchdown. Still smells fishier than a Lake Chickamauga bait shop on a 100 degree Saturday in July if you ask me. And the stench has not lessened in the two decades since.

Yup and I hate to be petty, but it's likely we'll see some stupid officiating this Saturday. Happens every time we play Bama, UGA, and FL.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Since we are getting ready to play the puppies again, I would like to give dishonorable mention award to the no call against Georgia Center Brandon Kublabow (sp?) for the dirty rolling block that cost Shy Tuttle a full season and almost ended his career

Vandy....and IIRC he played for Vandy

The Oklahoma receiver who stepped out and back in to get PI was pathetic! Also in 2014 Florida snapped a field goal after the click turned Zero and they counted the FG.

 

[Rockytoptalker]

Not the worst, but the LSU player throwing his helmet to the ground after he thought they lost against us in 2010. A personal foul there could’ve helped out... A lot.

Yeah that's terrible

I was sitting 13 rows behind that receiver. It was obvious even from behind! Just another reason to hate florida
