Bama radio claims noise piped in at Neyland

[dobre_shunka]

Fairly certain it was right after a time out. I don't remember any Tennessee substitutions though - but I do know Bama at one point had 13 players on the field.

And I could be wrong about the timeout - but if you watch the entire sequence of events there were no substitutions by Tennessee.

Bama coaches are standing by the "injury"

What Alabama’s Kane Wommack said about ‘fake injury’ in Tennessee loss

“We tell guys, if you’re injured, if you’re hurt, if you’re pulling up with a cramp, you have to go down in that situation,” Wommack said. “We’re not able to substitute someone when a team is going fast, so if you’re injured, the protocol there is for the guy to go down. Our training room does a tremendous job. They got a guy back after however long it was.”

They continue to make excuses. A bunch of entitled little punks.

 

[UT Hill Man]

He's a liar.

 

[Tarkus]

What a bunch of dirt bags. They don’t have the character to just say they lost. They almost always paint themselves as the victims of some nefarious plot. It’s the refs, it’s fake crowd noise, it’s the NCAA and the FBI plotting against them. Just another reason to hate Bama.

I hope Bama severely beats Missouri and then Bama loses the rest of their games. Don’t want Drinkwitz to beat Bama.

 

[SamuraiVol74]

I don't care what kind of outlandish claims and excuses they come up with. We won. They lost.

Bama is upset over the crowd noise because they built a new stadium not too long ago, only they went for comfort over proximity to the playing surface. They overlooked the advantage that General Neyland did not, decades earlier.

By new stadium you mean 95 years old?

Alabama always makes excuses when they
lose 95,000 plus Vols fans making noise.
Debor is a big whiner and they fake injuries as bad as Old Miss. Get over the loss and play the next game

Our stadium is loud for 2 reasons: we easily have the loudest fans, and the geometry/physics of the shape of Neyland Stadium. There is nowhere for the noise to “escape” to.

 

[OrangeBloodinTN]

i have it on very good authority that Bama pumps in fart smell at Bryant Denny to make their stadium smell better.

I said it before and will say it again.

Let Bama complain and cry! TN beat them and was more physical in the 2nd half.

Go Vols!

“Second-and-16 is not what you’re looking for, especially with the noise level being what it is here,” Alabama play by play announcer Chris Stewart said during the broadcast. "You’ve got 100,000-plus and they also pipe in crowd noise as well.”

Former Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that "100%" Tennessee does use fake crowd noise. McCarron started at Alabama from 2011-13 with a win at UT in 2012.

Those are sour grapes comments.

Me either….. I want to see Drinkwitz get his business stood on

 

[Carl Pickens]

not me…. I can think of a whole bunch of reasons

 

[84Volfan]

Can someone remind me if we even substituted here? Heard a lot of Bama fans say they weren’t given any time to make substitutions. If I remember right this was right out of a commercial break. We didn’t substitute I thought?

May have already been stated but I think the penalty was actually because mack went off the field and came back on. Can't do that regardless if given the time to substitute

I agree 1000% . Bama most likely has multiple losses coming, HOWEVER - If they lose Saturday, the epic meltdown occurring now will be amplified to glorious proportions. I've been reading the Bama boards some. "If we win out, we are in the playoffs". Either way, one of them loses. Can't wait to see their 4 and 5 stars start hitting the portal. Ryan Williams might be 18 when he dons an orange jersey.

 

[volfanhill]

We should want them to lose one more. That's it.

I already posted this in another thread, but this was the first play after a change of possession and a TV timeout. All UT did was run out and line up in their formation - I.e., no substitution. Bama never could decide on their lineup and had people running on and off the field before the coach told the player to take a dive.

I go scorched earth for Bama, just saying.

They win out they will get the playoff spot over us. If we lose to GA

I think LSU will be their hardest game upcoming.

Is anyone else old enough to remember Bear Bryant making a big deal of the noise levels in maybe the 78 or 80 game? There were rules where he could have the refs call a penalty for too much noise iirc. I remember we sucked and they were top 5, but he was skeered of the noise and used ever tool to make it stop.

Someone tell me I'm not delusional here. Can still remember the broadcast referring to it.

Yes, you are correct. Someone (don’t know if it was the SEC or NCAA) had a rule for a few years that the home team could be penalized if the crowd noise was “too loud.” I don’t ever recall a penalty being called or enforced, but there were many times where the fans were “warned” that if they didn’t quiet down, the defense would be penalized. The officials would actually hold up the game waiting for the crowd to get quieter - which usually resulted in us getting louder, not quieter. After a few years the powers that be realized the idiocy of the rule and dropped it.

Before our 1990 matchup against Notre Dame, Lou Holtz threatened to hold the game up and insist the refs penalize us if it was too loud to communicate. I don't think he followed through on it, though.

I’m talking about the 30,000 seat, 159 skybox expansions they’ve added since 1998. The stadium is barely recognizable from before internet was household item.

We’re still talking about TN beating Vanderbilt in that scenario, aren’t we? Are you being facetious or is there an actual ruling that says they should be chosen ahead of us, despite our head to head result?
