The Official Tennessee @ #1 Alabama Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Vol737]

If I’m head coach, I pay the $100K fine and I rip the ever loving **** out of these refs in the post game.

 

[volfanhill]

Serious question: Can fans contact SEC office with complaints on officiating crews?
This is outta control. I’ve never witnessed anything like this.

It’s about as effective, and mature, as writing recruits love letters.

 

[driscokid]

Those flashing redneck meth party lights ought to be banned by the SEC. How much more annoying can a stadium full of crazed Alabama fans have to be...

 

[JohnD13]

I have less of a problem with the targeting call itself than I do with the phantom “even though he was a yard short, we’re going to say we’re reviewing that so that we can go back and call targeting”

Agree

 

[rockydoc]

Has pope ever caught one

Yes and he fumbled on the two yard line without even being touched. Cost us a game IIRC.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Pope doing better than Jennings. He hasn’t dropped it onto their hands yet

 

[C-south]

It sucks, but Got to keep the eyes up.

I guess you kick them in the face since you can’t tackle when they’re that low.

 

[Gary10ec1]

Is it arm strength or timing with JG? Always half a beat behind. Vols still fighting though GBO!

 

[joevol33]

Wrong

Hope you're right

 

[Bryan1]

QUIT throwing the ball to Pope!!! He cant catch and canty block, for God's sakes just stick another OL out there in 80s jersey and forget the position.

Or, put DMA in!

 

[BadgerVol!]

A QB with occasional touch on the ball is on my Xmas list

 

[alavolfan]

At this rate, the game won’t be over til 1 AM, but it’ll be over way before then....

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

I’m proud of how hard these young men are playing despite all these ridiculous circumstances!!!

 

[Russdaddy2027]

Bama is absolute garbage, they cheat in every aspect of college sports and get an assist by officials whenever they need it

 

[sona]

I feel like every review is just being done to see how they can help Alabama.

Fairly certain every ref post-game meeting begins with "What more could we have done tonight to help Alabama?".

 

[wmcovol]

Unbelievably biased commentators, deserve a kick in the teeth...

#1 vs 2-4 team. What do you expect. If Tenn can keep it close, they’ll change. Trust me

 

[volfanhill]

This isn’t a vintage Saban Bama defense

Hasn’t been all year. Their O is the show.

 

[Smokeyone]

If Bama recovers, it's a catch and fumble. Since we recovered it will be an incomplete pass.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Where you been? Of course they can.

I know, I know, it's just anyone remotely honest would concede that was pass interference, I mean, hell, even these refs called it.

 

[Volnbeers]

I have less of a problem with the targeting call itself than I do with the phantom “even though he was a yard short, we’re going to say we’re reviewing that so that we can go back and call targeting”

THIS

it was announced as a TD reviewed and there was no ****ing flag on the play....so they just retroactively review a targetting call?

 

[VOLINVONORE]

This is s weird night. I doubt the game will be over before 1 30 am

 

[Jravol78]

Bench him

lol , not sure that is a smart move .... besides, I am sure the refs will take care of that for us here within the next 2 quarters chief

 

[ETV]

It’s a penalty every play! This is outta control!!

SEC office in Alabama

Significant portion of referees have ties to Alabama.

Coincidence?

 

[Switch 625]

Targeting call against JG incoming.

Targeting implies that you actually hit someone. So far he can’t hit $h..

 

[Russdaddy2027]

I Hope To’oto’o comes out and puts his face mask through Tuas rib cage!
