Face Mask No Call

[Butch s]

The refs hate us because we go so fast they actually need to be in shape to call our games.

That kinda sounds right

 

[HighRockvol]

There is zero chance that is happening.

And you know this because your behind the scenes?

[Butch s]

More like 90 degrees. Think 180 would kill you. But nonetheless hard to understand this

 

[OrangeInKy]

I don’t think the ref is on this board bro

I think BOT is orchestrating the whole thing and is trying to discredit it to throw us off his scent.

 

[ButchPlz]

People whose political beliefs involve them complaining about capitalism and profits ignoring profit incentives in everything from healthcare to sports and calling them conspiracies make me laugh.

Or some attempt at uniformity in officiating would be nice.. I would argue many games this year would have turned out differently given what officiating crew shows up (not just us).. it’s starting to look really ridiculous with the inconsistency.. totally agree

I agree, I was telling my wife earlier if the refs are calling the same for both teams I don’t complain about poor officiating as long as the calls are equal between both teams… it’s the lopsidedness of it that causes me to blame officiating for the outcomes of games. The last 3 weeks have been atrocious!

 

[DrTNT]

The refs thoughts in this moment… “He should be able to see just fine out that there ear hole.”

When they picked up the flag on the pick play in the end zone...

Another perfect example of the piss poor officiating

 

[lifeisdeep]

Do you think it not possible that Vegas could be?
Serious question, I’m not trying to be a smart@$$.

Willfully naive to think otherwise.

 

[Lars]

TF ? No idea what that means

It means that he has not been paying attention.

 

[JCHateSteve]

There has been at least one egregious call in all of Tennessee's games so far. They 100% cost our guys a shot at comeback against Florida. It's worse this year than I've ever seen it and that's saying something.

Makes you wonder…ya know…with all the ease of gambling on games and such…

 

[bpalmer28]

It means it appears you're all in on a bat **** crazy conspiracy theory.

Conspiracy theory or not, it happens. Regularly.

 

[Wireless1]

Well they have 8000 (yes, an exaggeration) cameras in 8K Ultra Hi Def at each game now, so those could potentially useful…

For some games, but the first 2 home games have been virtually camera free. I think there have been 2 fixed with operators (high elevation) and 1 hand held operated along with the pylon cameras

It's nothing new. Sports betting scandals have been happening since the 1800s. Folks that want to bet have always done so.

To me it seems to be more about giving certain programs preferential treatment. I don't see calls following betting lines. I see some schools always getting calls and other always getting the shaft.

 

[GAVol]

Uh. No.

 

[bpalmer28]

Uh. No.

You don’t think gambling affects how games are officiated?

I’m not going to say it’s never happened, but I know 2 current SEC officials and 2 that are retired and I can promise you betting lines aren’t remotely on their radar.

Sounds like you aren’t giving your all for Tennessee. Need to find a way into their pockets before it’s too late!

One of the strangest people I've ever met in my life was an umpire for the SEC. I only hung around him twice but he was the type to complete screw over a team if he woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Ok guy im truly not a conspiracy type. Think most are bs. However the amount of money college football makes and the amout of people that bet on it is absolutely insane. I have watched officiating and game play as whole decline rapidly since covid. We had fixed games in pro sports and officials who knew how to sway a game and got away with it for a long ass time. To completely dismiss it is freaking stupid.

Is Heupel helping the bookies by not disclosing suspensions and injuries to the public? Thought about this last week when UT was a 6.5 favorite at Florida and all of Vegas was picking Florida. Then the next week we find out about hidden suspensions. And Sampson never saw the field.
