These Refs Have Been Suspended Before Apparently.

And this is a HUGE issue. They know they can't overturn it, but will still "review" the play to trick you into thinking the integrity of the game is being upheld... this very act undermines the integrity it claims to protect. Honesty is honoring and THIS is not it. It's manipulation. It's deception.

How can we be expected to trust officials who do this while also claiming the whistle is arbitrary and they decide in their own minds when the play is stopped? How can they be held to a standard when the standard is not delineated and it's just whatever they deem it to be?

Spotting the football is probably one of the most inexact things in sports and it’s a complete minefield. Think of all the times where you see a trailing linesman run mysteriously to the 1st down marker and then guess a few inches either way of the line to gain.

Do the officials review the games and honestly admit their mistakes or do they just justify their calls (behind closed doors). It’d be interesting to know.

I’m not giving an opinion here. That’s just the explanation from the officials on the field and from the commentators last night.

Okay, I misunderstood what you were saying then. My bad. I also wasnt really challenging it. Just trying to find out from other people if there is another interpretation of what I posted other than how I interpreted it. No worries.

Except, they couldn’t fix it with replay. Forward progress isn’t reviewable which is dumb. They’ll let a questionable fumble or scoop and score play out so they can review it, but they stop a 4th and goal from the 1 and by rule can’t fix it.

Electronic whistles with radio transmitters exist and they allow replay to show the exact point when the play was blown dead. That would at least solve the problem of when forward progress was actually called on the field.

Forward progress my a$$. Titans I’m an official I am blowing the whistle once forward progress is stopped, I’m not waiting till the ball crosses the goal line. Also he never stopped moving forward and was pumping his feet and Fant was pulling him as well which is legal also now. Years past you couldn’t pull or push a player into end zone, this year you can that’s why they be pushing with the rugby style pile ups and lineman moving the pile. The blatantly missed the call for whatever reason. But also it was inexcusable for our defense to allow 600 yards of offense when Purdue was missing it top 2 WR’s and to a walk on QB. It shouldn’t have never came down to that one play, but it did and refs made sure they would make sure everyone knew that they was bigger than the game itself. The ACC won’t do nothing to this crew as the ACC along with everyone else grossed them SEC country enjoyed the SEC losing. I’m afraid we haven’t seen the last of calls like this test if the bowl season that involves SEC teams.

Then somebody should investigate. I’m not a gambler but that call made the spread change. All it takes is one ref to make a big difference in a game. If he’s not on the take he clearly doesn’t need to be officiating. Investigation needs to start at the NCAA and all major conferences. I smell a rat and it’s the NCAA

That call also kept our game from being the highest scoring bowl game, which was at +1600 when I (and I'm sure quite a few others) took it.

They should be suspended on not throwing the flag on Fant pulling him across the goal line.

Walk on or not…. Their QB is pretty good. Check his stats on the season ….. and Baker Mayfield was a walk on. Being one doesn’t diminish what they do on the field

had the Purdue player who was walking and then went down after the questionable catch the play ruled a catch on the field Tennessee lines up gets the play off but the Purdue perfectly fine goes to a knee injury timeout then ready to put ball in play they decide to review it.

Subjective call but if I saw a player walking to the LOS and all of a sudden takes a knee I throw a delay of game flag.

I would go with unsportsmanlike conduct. Really gives the coach the message, and if the same player does it again they are tossed from the game.

Saw that last night. It’s a fast game and judgement calls are going to happen, but man, these guys have documented struggles.

I would never reveal a name, but I have a good friend that is on an SEC crew and has been involved in a couple of doozies the past few years. He says they need to enhance replay and add a Sky Judge in the booth to speed up reviews and catch mistakes.

They also need to get rid of the ones that are idiots. Maybe some 21st century version of Louis Pasteur can discover within the millions of lines of code in DNA the factors that causes numbskullery. Those who don't have it stay on the field. Those that do hand out programs, sell popcorn, and clean restrooms.

The real issue is they had a chance to fix it with video and still missed it.

Either we have replay or we don't. Picking and choosing which plays are reviewable is ridiculous. All plays should be reviewable, but just give each team 3 challenges per half so there can only be 12 replays per game max. If they win a challenge, they don't lose a timeout. The challenging coach has to also specify exactly what he is challenging so the replay booth doesn't just scour the play in question looking for any and all infractions.

The coach would have to think to himself, "Hmm...I think #97 held on that play, but given they only gained from the 20 to the 30 is it worth risking a timeout? Maybe I just need to save this challenge for a more potentially game-changing play."
