The Official Tennessee vs. Purdue Music City Bowl Game Thread, 3:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Saleenstang]

All I got to say!!!!

 

[casetopia]

ACC is neither team’s conference.
The clowns they had out there tonight shouldn’t be officiating a Pop Warner game, let alone a bowl game

Yes I had a brain fart.

 

[i2amavol]

The bull fighting o’le tacking techniques against that tight end was the death nail

I don't know about that, but it sure was ugly.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

We have been ****ed on both sides by this mysterious forward progress this year. This one was new, the last 40 years of my life the whistle was key, “yeah but not tonight”! We got ****ed

 

[PG1]

We shouldn’t shake their hands.

Why not. They are so few so not many hands to shake

 

[AdoptedVOL]

We clearly executed on that TD and it was called back.

Should we go back and revisit every play. It’s a 60 minute game. There was PLENTY of opportunity for a TN win but Purdue played well and we did not step up.

 

[21VOL]

At least 4 plays that they screwed up.
2 terrible pass interference, missed the obvious hold and calling the play dead. Pathetic. Need to fired. I wouldn't let them ref pee wee football.

 

[VolStrom]

It only matters when the ref decided his forward progress was stopped not when the whistle blew. I am beside myself after watching TN get fooked out of this game.

 

[RiverVol]

Who in the holy heck mentally calls a SCORING play dead while the runner is still making progress toward the goal line? That ref straight up mugged and stole from that kid.

 

[BARknox bouncer]

Purdue didn't win ****! Get the **** outta here!

Pretty sure the team with the most points win so um yeah Purdue won

 

[Remy]

True. Really it was questionable play calling 2nd quarter on. Plus poor execution on both sides of the ball. Here’s another winnable game we let slip away. Aka Pitt ole miss Florida etc

We were out coached by a country mile. We may have one of the best OCs in the country as our HC.

 

[jbr82]

Wow we got screwed!

And out coached

 

[UTK]

Just stop. 3 picks we lost. Stop the crying. Its embarrassing...

How many Purdue drives were extended by phantom PI calls? It's not crying, get the officials cocks out of your mouth. It's embarrassing. It's ruining this sport. THREE GAMES this year I can point to refs as the main reason we loss. That should never be the case.

 

[hog88]

Wow we got screwed!

We screwed our selves as much as we got screwed.

 

[cyclevol]

Except he scored a f******* TD

I back Coach everytime. Go for the win. I wish we would have gone for 2 on the last TD. I hate OT.

[Spider2yBanana]

ACC officials

10-4, my dude...

 

[utvolsfan131]

Why were acc refs used? Thought it was supposed to be neither teams conference?

Purdue is a Big10 team

 

[Chitown vol fan]

Should have kicked the FG to make Perdue score a TD. Bad coaching

 

[Shocker0]

Why do these stupid ******** screw jobs only ever happen to us? New ways to lose a ****ing game every year. The refs will issue a statement Monday saying they made the wrong call and then go on about their day with nothing changing. Sick of it.

 

[basspond]

That was a $h!# call by the officials. It's time for the revolt and takeover! The NCAA is a joke. Their so called rules are a joke.

 

[All That Hype]

Great job by our Gimmick Coach. This one is squarely on the Hype. I do not understand why winning the trophy for most plays called is so important to him but it is. However, cudos to the players they left it on the field.

 

[ButchPlz]

Should we go back and revisit every play. It’s a 60 minute game. There was PLENTY of opportunity for a TN win but Purdue played well and we did not step up.

Imagine being such a clown you argue that it's OK for a horrific call changing the outcome of the game because the game is 60 minutes long.

This is a series of stupid, stupid posts.

 

[Jaingo]

Bama getting ready for a CFP game and UT blaming the refs after giving up 1,200 yards of offense. Nothing much changes does it?
Roll Tide

Remember this arrogance when Saban retires. Our ship was righted this year after jettisoning that piece of Alabama **** in Pruitt.

 

[BallinVol]

Pretty sure the team with the most points win so um yeah Purdue won

You must be a riot at gatherings .

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Yea the defense sucks. What does that have to do with the horrendous call that we all just witnessed?

I’ve seen a lot of bad calls but this one takes the cake.

The whistle wasn’t even blown when he got in.
