The refs.....

[RollerVol]

Aggie home cooking was very noticeable yesterday for sure...refs love Aggieland...way to many bad calls and a bunch went against the Vols...:loco:

GO VOLS!

 

[82_VOL_83]

Still don't think you're going to get that call on a kick return most of the time.

JRM says you are FOS.

 

[kiddiedoc]

He actually ran back into the end zone on his on, just saying. They never replayed it or said anything about it, so I was wondering if its a rule or if they called him down at the two.

He is a live ball-carrier at that point. He certainly appeared to run backwards into the end zone before being tackled. Looked like a safety to us. I can't believe they didn't even review it.

Can the league go back and suspend for targeting that was not called in the game?

 

[rocketskates]

The officials were very poor yesterday, but turnovers cost us the game not them. And yes I've watched a replay of wannabe Clay Matthews on Berry and he launched himself helmet to helmet. There was even a big white mark on the top of his helmet. Kudos to Warrior to getting him back, it negated that big return but that kid needed to be decked.

Also the unsportsmanlike on us for knocking him out of bounds on the kickoff after was complete BS. Even Gary disagreed with the call.

 

[rocketskates]

My only real issue with the refs was the constant false starts that weren't called on aTm. Almost every play, the OT going against DB moved early. It was obvious in the stadium. If I'm wrong, please tell me. But we could see it and booed accordingly.

No they were jumping. Their left guard and tackle were getting a head start every play to get the jump on Barnett.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Guys that was not targeting on the Berry fumble. They don't call targeting unless they consider the ball carrier defenseless. I wish it was, l would've felt great joy seeing that dude ejected. Yes the guy lead with the crown of his helmet and hit Berry in the head, but they were both facing each other moving forward. Games would take 7 hours to play if they called targeting on plays like that. I hate targeting, and I think they need to take the ejection part out of it, throw the flag and be done with it.

And another know it all.

 

[SmartVolFan]

Think it was bad against A&M?

Wait till this week...

 

[volfanvfl]

Constant holdings never got called - this week or last week. You're telling me no college football players held for 2 straight SEC games ?

 

[dbowen]

To me, SEC officiating has always been poor and slanted to the teams that will bring money to the league. In other words, don't expect a lot of calls to go our way next week.

 

[RetardedElf]

i seen 5 pass interfence/6 hold calls......never got called.....nuts?

Ok someone else saw all the pass interfence penalties that weren't called. It seemed like at least once a drive our wr would get hit 2-3 steps early or would have an arm pinned down

 

[dcm3w]

I didn't understand the call when we pushed #12 out of bounds. How was that a penalty? That's called football

 

[Valencia]

The refs were the 13th man, or I know nothing about pass interference.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

That first half officiating was among the worst and most biased that I have seen in years.

 

[508mikey]

clown crew should be suspended -- so should the booth idiot and time keeper

 

[508mikey]

cause we were picking on the pretty boy

The whistle had already been blown before he was thrown out of bounds. If the play was still live it wouldn't have been a penalty

First of all, the dude wasn't thrown anywhere. There is all kinds of pushing and shoving going on by players after the whistle in almost every game. He pushed him out of bounds, and the call was very weak to say the least!

 

[voljohn22]

Not as good as the past but when has Tennessee actually been any better. I'd take my sooners history over the vols any day

You have just changed my whole outlook on college football. All this time I thought Bama fans had a monopoly on stupid.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

No doubt about it, and no mention of it by Verne or Gary as they replyed it 4 times and talked about how great of a hit it was.

Oh, you mean the press box A&M cheerleaders!!!

 

[GAVol]

JRM says you are FOS.

Totally different play. JRM hit a returner who is deemed to be a defenseless player.

 

[gnm53108]

We gonna have the same crew this week?

 

[rocketskates]

I didn't understand the call when we pushed #12 out of bounds. How was that a penalty? That's called football

Yeah, like I said even Gary said that was a bad penalty. That knucklehead had just pulled a helmet to helmet and knocked one of our guys out of the game so of course the other guys were headhunting him.

Nah...they're trying to corner the market tho.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Tennessee will probably issue a formal complaint to league office. I've never seen such lopsided officiating...I saw on twitter that one of the officials was an ex Alabama qb TIFWIW
