Officiating is awful in every game you watch nowadays for whatever reason. Basketball games are almost unwatchable.

Nah. You have to use VN logic. When we play bad or we lose, it’s because of bad officiating. When we win, it’s just because we were better and officiating had nothing to do with it. Refs never make bad calls in our favor. Only against us.

I hope it's like the Bama game. There were some calls that went our way, but all in all, when the smoke cleared, that wasn't a deciding factor. I've got a good feeling about this GA game.

Well, they for sure won’t call holding much. I fully expect for their offensive linemen to have handfuls of Pearce and Norman-Lott’s jerseys the entire game. But, gotta overcome.

Yeah. People haven't been raised to believe that things, even when they really, really, really should go your way, sometimes don't go your way.

Too many parents running to teachers or coaches or I've even had parents come to me as an employer saying "You hurt my kids feelings. He's just a kid and deserves........"

No. No you don't deserve anything and bad breaks happen and sometimes you're just not good enough and need to realize it and accept it and so do your parents.

I wish we had more fans that actually believed our team was good enough to not even be in position to have the game decided by officiating. I think we are the better team. If we lose it seems it's either due to a massive conspiracy against UT which seemingly is at least 25 years old, or it's because Alex Golesh isn't here.
I can't keep track.

I coach my sons and one of then is always looking at me saying he got fouled, etc etc and I tell him to zip it and play.

I wish those here who complain about the refs actually understood many of the calls they criticize. I HAVE seen some bad calls and obvious no calls in games, both for and against the Vols.

Those here never mention our holding or PI or whatever but insist it's a conspiracy if it's not called for us. I get being a fan but it's ridiculous in game threads...... "of course, another hold and no call" and such is all some ever post, literally nothing else about the game except ref complaints.

Many have absolutely no idea about holding or block in the back exceptions at the line of scrimmage. It's laughable to see them post.

And refs don't get to see 5 angles and then make the calls. It's a tremendously difficult job. It's narcissistic to think the powers that be are always plotting against us. In fact, it's much better for the SEC for us to be a 1 loss team and make the playoff. So I am not sure why people are always convinced the league is against us, in cooperation with ESPN, the government, the weather, every broadcasting crew, etc etc.

If we play bad you can bet the house on the SAME posters complain about bad officiating. It happens every single game. Yet those same posters will never say we hold and it gets missed.

AND we get one TV angle commonly when posters are calling the "obvious holding" before any replay at all. From the standard TV angle, they consistently see it immediately????

They missed their calling and should be reffing in the NFL if they can call games that well from the couch, though I'm sure they're too righteous to ever become a ref because all refs are corrupt. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️
