Doesn’t matter “What we could have done”.

You and others need to stop throwing that weak argument around.

We had the game won and the refs took the TD away from us that Wright worked hard for.

I saw it, the rest of the world saw it, nothing else needs to be said.

Actually, it does. UT missed a lot of chances to decide their own fate in that game. That’s a really big baby you’re throwing out with the bath water in that regard.

You have tunnel vision because you’re butthurt.

I get it, brother, I do. I wish the refs were better. I wish UT would have won.

They didn’t.

It happens.

Get over it.

That we didn’t get our way does not mean the whole system is rigged. It never does.

Merge with the countless other threads. The game has been over for 2 days. Let it go. Terrible call, but we should have managed the clock better and kicked a field goal in the closing seconds of the 4th.
I’m looking forward to next season.

Sorry but we get to decide if and when to let it go. Heck, many of us are still incensed about the Florida “catch” for a touchdown from 20 years ago. Tennessee Fans have looooooong memories.

Thank you, Dalai Lama:rolleyes:. Next I suppose you'll suggest we send flowers & organic goat cheese to the crooked, incompetent officials.

Our defense left something to be desired, and the offense was inconsistent, but the team still played hard and well enough to be tied at the end of regulation and send it onto overtime. This team did NOT deserve to be cheated out of a victory by the refs taking back the legitimate TD. Also, although some of the pass interference calls appeared correct, one of the pass interference calls (I think the last one) was clearly a bad call as the DB looked back, saw the ball and batted it away before it got to the receiver, a clean breakup. An interference call before that one was also questionable. While I think they should have tried to run to get closer for a FG at the end of regulation, that last pass play was only an overthrow because their DB was pulling on Tillman's jersey preventing him from getting to the ball, a clear infraction that was not called by these clearly corrupt ACC refs. VOLS had 128 yards in penalties called, Purdue 61. The only other game that UT had more than 100 yards in penalties was against Pitt, and I think this was an ACC crew, although I am not sure. Really unfortunate that refs that perform this way do not face any consequence for their biased rulings.

I could completely understand being outplayed by Purdue resulting in them winning a fair game but this is one loss that I can’t accept.

You can’t sit there and tell me the officials had no impact on the game!

1. Wtf was there no PI call on the Purdue defender? No wonder Tillman had no chance to catch up to the ball for a TD.

2. Easily decided the game right there. I’ve NEVER seen a horrendous call like this one. The sideline judge didn’t blow the whistle until AFTER the ball crossed the goal line. Where was the play stopped??


View attachment 425132

3. How come the Purdue TE wasn’t stopped whenever he was fighting off the UT defenders? Shouldn’t the play have been over with? Instead, the officials allow him to keep on moving. How’s it any different than Wright fighting for a TD?

Conclusion, I can accept a loss whenever we deserve one but this game was a total screw job. It was corrupt from the beginning.

I don’t want to hear about “Well we had plenty of chances to win” BS! Had that been a TD, game is over. End of story.

The NCAA should be ashamed of themselves and whoever is defending the outcome of this game, should be ashamed of themselves too.

Somebody should stand up to this corrupt garbage that college football is turning into!

Your type of mentality is the reason why the NCAA will continue to push Tennessee around.

You’re naive if you think it happens to everyone. Had that been Bama or Georgia, that’s a TD 90% of the time.

Also, nobody is butt hurt over anything. It doesn’t take a genius to see how poorly the game was officiated.

It’s garbage regardless what you think.

That wasn’t the “game won”. They still would have gotten the ball, and our defense wasn’t a sure thing at any point in the ballgame.

I am not saying that the bad call at the goal line cost use the game but it dang sure away any chance we had to win it. IF it was called correctly and a touchdown then Purdue would have had to score a touchdown. We held them to a field goal so there is that but who knows what they would have done on 4th down knowing they had to score a touchdown and not a field goal.

Purdue was playing for a FG. The 2nd and 3rd down runs were to put the ball in the middle of the field after the 7 yd completion on first down (which was on the right hash mark).

Yes, the entire sport of football is conspiring and it was unveiled in the highly meaningful Music City Bowl when the referee biased chose the mighty Purdue Boilermakers.

Or, they are incompetent.

Make your choice.

I’m going with incompetent…. I’ve seen the Miami vs Duke fiasco from several years back and those guys are pathetic. Every one of them including the replay official should have been fired before they left the stadium that night.

I will never be convinced that refs don't bet on games that they call.

I'd be a lot more upset with the incompetence of college officiating if we hadn't pissed away a minute and 34 seconds and 3 time outs in regulation play. Bad officiating is part of sports. it's much easier to fix bad clock management. Coach should be made aware of that since it was not a new thing with him. Hoping it's something he fixes before next season along with not having a defense that could stop his grandma.

I get your point but the under waived bye bye long before the TD in OT wasn’t given to us.

Yep the RB was blocking not even trying to receive the pass. Those Refs were pathetic!

In defense of the rule, it just has to be an eligible receiver. They don’t have to be looking for the ball or even aware that a pass is coming their direction. Carry on.

Both sports have become much faster and physical. The old farts they have as officials just can not keep up with the speed o the game. In addition, the rules of the games have evolved to the point that what were penalties when we were playing allow a lot of holding, pass interference, and instant judgement by the officials. That was the reason for instant replay. However, it appears that the review officials are concerned that they may embarrass their fellow officials of their extremely poor calls. The sin of the no call on the TD was, I believe, the jealousy of the ACC toward the SEC. They just did not want to face the fact that they would have to rule it a TD if it was reviewed.

Anger clouds judgement.

Slippery slope is a logical fallacy.

Flaws in the system that require remediation are not evidence that the system is rigged, but merely that it is flawed.

Should we fix those? Absolutely.

Burning the whole thing down fixes nothing.

Certainly you’d admit it’s possible that you’re butthurt AND the call was garbage.

It still doesn’t mean you burn the whole system down.

If it’s any consolation, CFB is in the midst of a big revamp thanks to NIL.

I’d agree that the way officials are selected, compensated, supervised, and promoted needs revamping also.

That these things are Balkanized according to conferences and not a single accountable body is part of the problem.
