With everything that happened last night, I have been wondering. In any athletic contest, when does a game officially "end." Does it end with the referee says the game "is over?" I was always taught that when a official blows the whistle for the last time then the game is over. I guess not.

Apparently based on what the Head of all refs just said it ends when you walk off the field and get into the bus ... maybe. It appears they can change it at any time now.

According to the OFFICIAL NCAA rulebook, when the head official says the game is over. Apparently that's not an actual rule but just "lip-service".

If that's the case I say we review Gaffney's catch in 00' and replay that game!

The Head of Refs just said saying game over is just lip service and that doesn't actually end the game. Honestly, based on his statement, the game never really ends.

If the head official says "game is over", then that is usually the end of the contest.

I have another question, couldn't Dooley have brought his team to the locker room and not played that final play, citing that the head ref had said "game over?"

Dooley should have immediately taken the team to the locker room and told the officials that when the official declared the game over, then no official review should take place.

I doubt it. The ref probably would have threatened him with something along the lines of unsportsmanlike conduct or something.

I don't know though.

I don't know. I'd assume Tennessee would be penalized 15 yards with an unsportsmanlike penalty, or told him that Tennessee would forfeit if they didn't go back out there.

Or, the third option, and the one that I would hope happened, is that the ref decided it's not worth the trouble, and calls the game over. Again.

So in the future, when a situation like this occurs again, would Tennessee's best option to be run off that field jump on the bus, and speed off as fast as they can?

I hope this never, ever, happens again, but most likely. The LSU game was different, because I don't think the officials declared the game to be over.

However, there's no way I take my team back out there after the ref declared the game over.

It ends when the opposing team finally has more points than Tennessee. Much like the USC/USSR Olympic basketball game.

That's what the refs did in the 1998 Rose Bowl. Michigan stormed the field after Wazzu spiked it with 2 seconds left....1......0..... Michigan storms field, chaos, refs leave.


Click here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZMqS83n_vw go to 2:00 exactly. Watch the clock go from 3.......... then all of a sudden 2. He spikes it clearly with a second left. That still pisses me off to this day!!! A very looong ride home too! I know it's not UT relates, but I have been screwe on both sides of this now!

When's the game over?


When the stadium security calls you sir and tells you to exit the stadium, all the while flashing you the taser he's carrying.
