Burrell assault during the punt ...

[BADGER_VOL]

AP won’t be getting an invite back any time soon. Say goodbye to those fat paychecks. 2 chop blocks “called” and with those refs, that means there were at least 5-7. They were chippy and dirty alll night and their coach gave off that vibe as well.

Or bring them back one more time and put a video together for the current team and pound them into the ground and run the score up on them as much as humanly possible and then never let them back. Either I’m fine with.

“Coach said they want to do that”

Dirtbag.

What happened??

Burrell got into it with an AP player and the player got Burrell on the ground. Two other AP players surrounded Burrell and dragged him across the ground about three yards, the benches started ti empty. It was beyond insane that a flag was not thrown.

Austin Peay played so dirty. I don’t think I’ve disliked a smaller program as much as them in my lifetime. Their coach should be embarrassed he employed those methods.

Did you watch the 2022 Akron game?

even the booth reviews were…

I felt that AP was trying to get into our players heads whereas Akron was trying to physically hurt players.

The targeting - the special teams flag was the definition. He launched toward the head and neck area.
The offsides - why did they stop the free plays when there was no direct line to the QB? They did this every time.
Pass interference - INCONSISTENT at best for both teams. It was wild.
Holding - Sometimes they called incredibly petty stuff and others they didn't care about.
The fumble - It was a catch and fumble. It led to nothing but how do you watch that and not say, he tucked and made a move upfield. It wasn't even bang-bang.
The clock - several times hit 00 and the refs just let it go.

Austin Peay and Tennessee should both submit several clips for review. It was bush league and painful. I know it was Austin Peay, but at least get refs that know what they are looking at.

I recall him chirping and clapping his hands on a timeout immediately after we hit a 30 yard run. Like he was thrilled his guys only gave up 30 yards in stead of 50.

Tool.

I must have missed that during the game....holy cow...that is absolutely ridiculous miss.

 

[jwilliams]

I'm tired of FCS games... schedule some low-end P5 or decent G5 teams... kinda like the Virginia game.

 

[SpookyAction]

SEC coaches should all blackball teams that come in and play dirty.
Akron and APSU should never get an easy check ever again.
APSU is not worth bringing back.
I received my a Master's there and feel like they should not play in Knoxville again.

This game was a joke in so many ways. Moving on…

 

[Shaun1985]

They showed it a few times reply for us at home. Lots of respect for AP. Those guys had nothing to lose and a lot of those kids grew up as UT fans and probably had a huge chip on their shoulder. Just knowing they could get in the head of the 9th ranked, heavily favorite Vols is a win for them. Imagine the adrenaline and chance to play in front of that many people and it being so close a lot of your family could come. Loooved that coaches energy!

 

[Sudden Impact]

The Refs probably took AP and the points in a series of untraceable bets with a cut of winnings.
That's the only thing I can say regarding their lack of calling a game.
No group can be that incompetent without some incentive.

 

[LeBleu]

Did anyone see where the AP WR was lined up and his foot was past the football in the neutral zone, and the Ref was just staring at it and never threw a flag? lol

 

[volfeeva]

I think the Austin Pee coach took a few too many Ritalin before the game. Or a case of Red Bull. But the worst call IMHO was the one where AP receiver caught a ball and took at least 3 steps with full possession, fumbled and we recovered, Ref's called it an incomplete pass. Replay clearly showed it was a bad call.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Did these refs not even get graded after that cluster. If they were not reprimanded at the least that is a major problem. Pathetic

 

[onevol74]

Thes games are big money makers for the smaller teams. If I were UT I would share the video from this game with the conference athletic directors and advise them not to schedule games with APU. The program should be boycotted until that slimy coach is replaced.

The problem is the public is never informed of those actions.

 

[onevol74]

They stopped showing replays in the stadium of anything close to controversial.
The “refs you suck” chants were impressive in how long they lasted

Not showing the replays with a multimillion dollar video board is a dis-service to our fans, Danny White. Good reason to sit home and watch the game on TV. At least you get the important replays.

This misses the crazy part. In between the hold and Burrell jumping up, he was jumped on by multiple AP players, one getting up and dragging him by his arm.

 

[Sudden Impact]

The problem is the public is never informed of those actions.

First minute the news media writes the full details of what was seen and happened they get sued. Even though it is obvious.
Doug Matthews stated it was a job audition for some of the Refs on the field.
The overall grade of this team is a Big FAT "F".
This game got so out of hand at the first the Refs never gained control of it and let it go.

 

[VolPack22]

Did you watch the 2022 Akron game?

Yes we smacked them by nearly 60 points. Maybe it was a combination of the bad officiating and the dirty play of AP, but either way AP felt worse to me.

 

[ksgovols]

Really grateful for @Freak putting those videos up… love being able to go back and watch them!

I am still curious, some one said they no longer have refs from the opposing non-conference opponents conference come ref the games, is that the case and if so, when did it change? Also, if those were SEC refs, the SEC needs to replace them… quickly, they really suck at their job!

ACC refs

To bad they couldn't show a little class. And that crazy coaches energy looked...well crazy. Coaching to injure is a non-starter for me.
