This is something that needs to be looked into...

Agreed. But I have no idea what can be done and what will be accomplished.

Just bring it to light.

Need to at least have the SEC offices address it. Get something from them in writing or on record.

You know what you'd get. A boiler document emphasizing officials rigorous training, preparation, review process, and a continuous effort to make SEC the best on the country.

You women are impossible to please. Oh no it's not a balmy 90 degrees and I can't wear my boots shorts right now is literally the worst.

You have 9 months of heat. You can deal with maybe 3 months of slightly cool weather

We can deal with anything, apparently much better than you whiners. We just don't enjoy the cold weather.

It's pretty amazing how clean our opponents play.

If I were Heupel, I wouldn't critisize the officials but would complement how perfect the other team played from a penalty perspective. Point out the preparation that all teams do as they seem to all play nearly perfect.

Passive aggressive. Catty. Snarky.

I love it.

The Hype doesn't need to say a thing. Danny White needs to do some serious azz reaming down in B-ham.

My guess is he does and it goes nowhere. This is systemic and starts in Birmingham.

As the UT AD with a rising national powerhouse athletic program I suspect DW would be listened to.

My wife tells me that daily and I ain't listening to her...

Listened to yes. Causing change is a different story. What's DW going to do if they continue?

Its absolutely ridiculous. The guys talk about it in this video, and I agree with Hubbs about what should be done. We had 3 holding penalties that killed drives vs Flarduh alone. 1 Heard, 2 Campbell, and none were egregious. Thats as many as our opponents have had in the last 10 games COMBINED. 40 quarters. Ridiculous. We have the best Dline in the nation, and the best Dlineman in the SEC in 1st team AA and SEC Edge Pearce. Great Dlines create MORE holding penalties. Not less. Its BS. Personally, I think the refs just hate us because we usually run the fastest tempo offense in the country...forcing them to do their jobs at warp speed which they resent. Its BS though, and the only way to affect change is to shine the light on it by speaking up. Increased scrutiny. Whats the downside? The refs are gonna REALLY hate us?

That I do not know, we can't be the only fan base sick and tired of the piss poor officiating in the SEC. Maybe he could build a coalition that would threaten to clean house in B-ham.

I would like to see a deeper study to see if this is unique to TN. If it is it would prove a conspiracy against TN.

 

[hog88]

Started on our construction loan Tuesday and since then my phone has been blowing up with lenders calling, literally have had over 100 calls and texts. Does anyone know of a way to stop that crap other than ignoring them? I messed up and answered a few, got ugly with a couple and damn if the same number wasn't calling again within a minute.

 

[JOEY’S ALL VOL !!!]

Bama week ...

I doubt it's a conspiracy it's probably like Marcus said, the refs get pissed at our tempo and try to slow us down. So yeah I'd like to see more analysis on it and comparisons to other high tempo offenses.

Im not seeing the same discrepancy with other up tempo teams. I do think it comes from the top. I think they're punishing TN because of them bucking the establishment.

If that is the case then I think DW and Plowman could make a case with the SEC office. UT is now a force across the board and if Plowman threatened to start a move to sack Sankey I suspect she would get some results.

Doesn't the problem originate with the financial institution funding your construction loan ???

I don't know about that. If it's purely a targeting of TN and no one else, I'd say other programs would be reluctant to change if it were benefitting them when playing the Vols.
