Drink opens today's presser apologizing to referees

[wmcovol]

Said he was wrong, should not have used bad language and should keep his mind more on the game...in a ho hum kinda way. Pretty clear the AD or above her (SEC office) talked with him. Bitching about officials isnt tolerated in the SEC world.

You can find it on Youtube if you want to see it.

This brings up a good point for the conspiracy guys - the SEC refs will be flag happy against Dink, and they will want UT UGA game on CBS to be for all the marbles, so naturally expect us to get all kinds of good calls and no holding etc.

Statistically, I think there's a higher probability of seeing Bigfoot riding the Loch Ness monster down the Tennessee River than to see the officials call a game in our favor.

Yeah. Because you guys have offered better explanations for clear patterns in penalties, right? It doesn't even have to be some backroom plot. It could be subconscious bias influenced in various ways... including conversations at the SEC offices about how the league needs one loss or undefeated teams to assure a spot in the CFP.

So do you have an alternative, "non-conspiracy" explanation for why UK and Bama got no live ball fouls? Both committed them. Bama committed a lot of them.


It will be interesting to see if that latter part does indeed happen.

You've left out one factor. What outcome in UT's game would best favor the SEC getting a team into the CFP? That very well could be a UT win.

It's a sign! Maybe we will get the calls after all.

That's in Loch Ness. The poster to whom you replied clearly stipulated the Tennessee River.

UGA would still own the tie-breaker even when we beat them.

I would think the desired outcome would be a Tennessee win against Missouri to increase the hype for our matchup vs. Georgia.

Yep, this means we have to hold our nose and root for Kiffin this weekend.

No. This is not true. You’re forgetting the part about Lane Kiffin breaking their scoreboard.

If something occurs today that people can’t or don’t want to acknowledge, they simply label it a “conspiracy theory”.

Exactly what I think.

I really hate that I have to pull for Kiffin. Even against UGA.

 

[barney]

Lol what a beta

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Saban's got em all in his back pocket unfortunately

True, forgot about that so "allllll aboard the Lane Train!!!!"

So, you're saying that Saban is "The Don" and must let us draw from the water from the well?

I honestly wonder if cbs has any pull with the conference to push for ole miss to win and make November 18th have more impact

I am about to start calling “conspiracy theories” “spoilers” considering all the crazy stuff that has turned out to be true these past few years

So does that make him a good guy or a bad guy with the refs? Heupel keeping quiet sure didn't help his case so I'm gonna guess they lean to Drink being a good guy worthy of forgiveness and they screw UT.

CBS has no pull. All the pull resides squarely in Don Saban’s dark and shuttered Office in Tuscaloosa

You saw him, too, huh?
