Anyone know if Mincey is still hurt or anyone else dinged up?

How do we stack up to KY defense in terms of their Dline? They can't be as good as A&M or bama/refs... Hopefully we can settle and get this much needed WIN.

In game is allowed. What's not allowed is in person scouting of opponents. Which is why it's a big deal.

Is it going to be credible, not that it has to be, when Harbaugh pretends that he (Shultz voice) "knows nothing"? He is running the risk of being suspended for the first half of the spring game if someone connects all of those infractions with Harbaugh! 😂

Also, why wasn't any explanation ever offered in the case of Harbaugh's assistant who was fired for doing some unspecified things with university computers. What was he doing? Changing grades? Watching kiddie pron?

A lot better explanation than some wacky Q conspiracy level theory about SEC not letting Bama lose.

I don't disagree with you...ive never believed in a conspiracy to keep us down...ive always said, what I do believe in is bad blood and corruption. Through that bad blood and corruption, Tennessee has had the screws put to us so much over the last 30 years (facts that i posted earlier, that i see you conviently ignored), people don't even need the Vaseline any longer. Do I believe UT is the only victim of bad blood and corruption? No. I believe Miami has felt it, Auburn, Ole Miss, LSU...all at some point in time.

I also believe in someone like Michael Jordan getting ALL!!! the calls, all the power...and then there's Michael Jordan's opposition. Point being, anyone believing it's just sheer incompetence also believe Dan Wolken was just doing his job.

With all of that said, I have a question for you...have you ever seen the penalty for defensive delay of game, because a defender was clapping? Have you ever seen that penalty thrown before? If you say you have, you'll have to excuse me for believing you're lying through your teeth.

I was doing research at a school's library one day in midseason a few years ago and took an afternoon break to go watch their football team practice. Someone from the team came over and wanted to know who I was and what I was doing! It was easily cleared up and I stayed with their blessing for an hour before going back inside.

If the refs were right all the time then we likely lose vs Alabama last year. Chase McGrath moves just enough here pre-snap that a flag could have been thrown for false start, but it was ignored/missed and we benefited.

Their minds were still on the 3 yards they took from us prior, on Keyton's catch. Good thing McGrath had JUST ENOUGH leg.

JG had an NFL RB, 3 NFL WR, 2 NFL OL, 1 NFL DL, and 3 NFL DB on that team. The coaching was god awful, but they didn't make him throw 2 pick-6's against Kentucky either.

JG had the easier 4-game schedule in non-hostile environments
He had 722 total yards, 7 total TD, and 6 total turnovers

Milton has 1,000 total yards, 6 total TD, and 5 total turnovers

with only 4 games to account for these numbers, Joe is having the better season. I expect the trend to continue and Joe to have a much better season than JG.

no way to prove it but i bet JG would do pretty well running the veer and shoot versus whatever pruitt called that offense.

Where's the motion version of this? If he's waving his hands then they can win on a technicality. No waving allowed by anyone on the return team. Granted until our game and Iowa no one has ever applied that technicality, but still.

Hey, did you see the video from earlier today that showed that Telander did the exact same thing during the opening kickoff? Also the photo showing that not a single Bama defender paid the least attention to what Telander was doing on the occasion of the called penalty and that the ball was halfway to the goal line at the time.

Did you ever see a flag anywhere if you've rewatched the video? It seems weird to me that no flag was thrown, or at least I can't find one, and the announcers habitually call attention to a flag and speak about what the likely call may be. I suppose it is not an infraction, but simple a rule concerning the spot?

Or the extreme personal foul after the whistle. The whistle, incidentally, occurs just before anyone makes contact with Seldon. Not when he caught advanced the first step (that I can hear).

I really want to hear your take on the whole thing, a to z.

The play happened in the 1st minute of the 2nd half. The pic I attached was after we went 3 and out, punted, and alabama had ran a few plays. That's when CBS showed Dee Williams "fair catch" signal and explained it as such. A WHOLE DAY later it was said that Telander had actually signaled fair catch from the front line and that's why the play was dead.

2 different stories for the fair catch.

IMO, If you're telling the truth, you do have to make it up as you go..... which is what's happening with the SEC office over this call

i think the call is garbage but the announcers wouldn’t know for sure why the call was made.

Sorry if posted in the wrong place, but I got laid off yesterday (along with a lot of other people) after 18+ years with the same company. Got a little drunk last night, feeling pretty crappy and unmotivated today.

Dang, hate to hear that. As upset as we are right now about the game, this puts things in perspective. Hope you find your next job soon and that it's way better than the old one.

Did it happen to texas this year in tuscaloosa? I didn’t watch the game, but I am guessing that the refs were calling it fairly or more likely, not an SEC officiating crew.

Anyone know?

It was a Big12 crew. In most out of conference games, the visitors bring a crew from their conference.

is it a penalty if we don’t return it?

@jave36 Another strange happening is that none of the officials except the one listening to his radio appear to know the ball is to be spotted at the 4. An official signals first down at the spot where Seldon ended up after a lot of hits after the whistle. The guy listening to his radio takes a ball and starts walking toward the goal line, right past our huddle: that is apparently the only (circumstantial) evidence that something was called that was provided to our team. When they line up at the 4 the Bama players seem like they still don't know what has happened, although maybe they are looking for a signal for what defense to play. You can see on the video the official when he first puts his hand to his earpiece and listens, as though he had just be contacted by someone.

They spoke as if they did. I would guess that account was something put in the ear of the announcer by someone else at CBS. Not that anything turns on it.

But your remark reminds me that I don't recall ever getting a clear announcement after the replay like we always do, including which player (by jersey number) was said to have signaled the fair catch.
