Interesting article by Zach Ragan tonight

Article that basically says everything I wanted to type out. Roddy White would definitely be someone I would listen too.

This article is BS and nothing but clickbait. He is just spewing a bunch of BS that many want to believe right now. The 12 man call was a bad call, but it was just that, a bad call. There is no bias, just terrible officiating. This isn’t new, and it happens all the time this season especially, but TN isn’t the only team to be on the wrong end of a bad call lately.

And the facemask? And no false start on Beck? And the catch/turn/step/fumble being called incomplete?

"Just bad calls that happen sometimes" too?

I like you, but you would be well served to lay low for a few days.

I’ll agree. Officiating is crap in about every game.
Doesn’t change the fact that it really helped UGA score a TD.

2 or 3 terrible calls in a game
Might not have much effect at all but it might have a big effect. Just depends when they happen.
It sucks when it cost your team for sure.

Chris Fowler hates Tennessee, and does very little to hide it. He's been butthurt because Tennessee fans wouldn't roll over and laugh at his "trailer park frenzy" dig after the 1997 Heistman debacle, and he's only soured more over time because Tennessee fans have never forgotten his snotty little remark. "Aww I didn't say you were trailer park trash." No Chris, but you insinuated it, and we're not stupid enough to buy excuses. You know what you did. And we know what you did.

Anyway, that twerp has always had a little something extra when it comes to mocking the Vols - the team, the program, the fans, you name it.

Oh and good or bad or whatever - that sorry-ass phantom facemask call gave UGA a touchdown and the officials ought to own that. The Tennessee defense had stopped that drive cold. But no, no, gotta let the poor little puppies keep driving.

I agree, and it seems worse this year than in seasons past. Also, I’ll concede that GA caught some breaks tonight and I’d be pissed if I were a Vols fan. I just don’t think there is a conspiracy against the Vols. GA has often been on the other end of bad calls.

That doesn’t change anything except the motive. The result was that Tennessee didn’t get a fair shake. I think UGA would have won regardless, but the game should have come down to the final drive or overtime. The refs bad calls extended drives that resulted in 14 points.

The officiating just sucks all the way around. Still tonight it was so one sided it was painful. Georgia probably still wins the game but at least we have a chance. Why the fumble play wasn’t even reviewed is very difficult to stomach and the 12 men on the field was. Idk what the correct way to raise hell about that is but I would be burning the phone up on someone and talking to other ADs as well.

Absolutely pathetic that we have this level of officiating in the best football conference in the country.

We gout outplayed but it's worth noting that the referee calls swayed momentum and we couldn't right the ship. I don't think I would outright blame the refs for losing when we just didn't execute. The fumble reversal didn't help and a lack of review on Squirrel's drop and the 2nd half catch/fumble with Delp were impactful but it doesn't tell the whole story to put the loss on the refs

Good grief. We got out coached and out played. Vol fans need to get over it. When we win very little is said about officiating.

You are a broken record.

A shiddy, whiny, always Nega... broken record.

All you do is crap on the VOLS and VOLS fans. You suck. Find another team. Fit right in as a Misery fan. Go be sad they lost to SC for their 3rd SEC loss.

I wonder if he has a family member or something that is a ref. The lengths he goes to to defend **** officiating is honestly quite amusing

Indeed, & Fowler's sphincter has been in a bind for 25 years. He, together with Herbie's incessant whiney voice, make viewing telecasts unbearable. :rolleyes: 🥱

The facemask call was legit, it was quick but the grabbed and tugged on the facemask. Even if he hadn't, it was still 3rd down and 8 (and like a 4 down situation if they'd needed it). I'd have been shocked if we had stopped them.

Only Zach Ragan would write this. Tennessee has the 3rd most SEC wins of all-time. We don't have limits, no one is capable of keeping us down but ourselves and the perpetual victimhood Ragan promotes is a loser mentality.

The fault is not in the stars but in ourselves. “It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul”

Or as our beloved General said:

"If at first the game—or the breaks—go against you, don’t let up . . . put on more steam."
