The Refs!

[Capt Straight]

I absolutely could not believe that pass interference call against us, and could you believe that Commode Door player grabbing the face mask and pulling the helmet off right at the first of the game? Come on guys, just call the game fair!
And, while I am complaining, why didn't they show the replay on the jumbotron of the Commode Door TD?

Beer is yummy.

Why the crap do we need a need a new Jumbotron or even the one we have if we NEVER show any replays??? Annoying

Gotta pay for itself with all of those commercials!

 

[madbamahater]

Once again, the SEC refs were absolutely atrocious. I would just file complaints every single week until something is done. It's beyond negligence and incompetence. It's corrupt

No lie.... who the hell runs that thing? Some 5 year old?

Spoiler alert on the Commodore Door TD replay.....he was in, it was a legit touchdown. Taylor burned yet again.

Just when I think I've seen the most inexplicably bad referee call ever...

A player rips another's helmet off and the victim gets a penalty for participating without a helmet. It's like a bad joke.

Agree but also fair to mention Taylor missjudged the ball and jumped about a half second to soon if he jumps that half second later he breaks that pass up

I never said he did not score, I just wanted to see it with my own two eyes. It was hard to tell from where we were sitting.

 

[vols40]

I thought the refs were a non issue tonight. That's all you can really ask for.

In fairness, he wasn’t “burned”, just misjudged a perfectly thrown ball.

That play where we get flagged for having our dude be the victim of a facemask is one of the most ******** calls in history. And that's saying something because Tennessee has had some horrendous referees over the years

Well the refs finally slammed the door on Saban tonite, he was LIVID on the last play of the first half.. he was spittin on everyone within 5 feet.....

The helmet penalty wasn't on the player getting his helmet ripped off on the tackle. Matthew Butler lost his helmet on the same play and he was flagged away from the tackle.

I gues my question on that is what is Butler supposed to do? Take a knee when the guy pulls his helmet off? Run off the field like a little girl? Stand still with his hand raised and hope nobody runs him over from behind?

Dear Santa,

Please send me one weekend without someone whining about the officiating. It’s part of the game. It’s always been this way, but HD television with 25 cameras and repeated replays let everyone know it.

It’s cold in the winter. Water is wet, and refs blow a ton of calls.

And don’t be telling me there’s no Santa. If people can believe SEC officials are all told to influence outcomes, I can believe in Santa.

He's supposed to just stop. Hard to do, but that's the rule at every level. Now the un-called mugging of our receiver on that interception, that was ridiculous.

they hired the guy that ran the big screen at Bristol game.

 

[ButchPlz]

The refs slow on the whistle the whole game, too. It was real bad.
