Recruiting Football Talk VII

[TN-POSSUM]

@INvoSwain said today on Josh and Swain that the head ref for this weekends game lives in Birmingham and has kids that go to Bama.

What's the refs name?



*I swear, I've been "googling" referee for TN vs KY 2023 for 20 minutes and can't find it. That shouldn't be hard to find. They should post the WHOLE officiating crew, along with the other game information prior to gameday (kickoff time, location, radio/TV options, weather).



The SEC needs to have transparency in who's officiating any ball game. I should be able to easily locate all the conference officials on the SEC website. I know the announcers, the coaches, and the players, why don't I know all the officials prior to the game? I noticed last week, only the white hat had his name shown. They used to list the whole crew.

I'm all about the conspiracy theory. I was telling my daughter about it last night. We refer to Tennessee's signalers as "the Alvin, Simon Theodore guys", so I used that as the point of reference to her in explaining the theory. She asked me, "even if South Carolina knew our signs, how would they know which one of the three was signaling in the actual call during the game". I wasn't sure how to answer that...took a little wind out of my sails

Too late

If you respond to a crazy post while naming MBG, they will find it even easier. I blame @engineerVOL here

Brought this up earlier. Unless they’re giving signals to different position groups, she’s right. We also scored 38, should have been enough to win, I don’t think anyone has our offensive signals totally cracked.

Can you imagine how it must have felt to be the TCU staff knowing that Michigan thought they already knew all of your signs? I would have had so much freaking fun on the sideline calling it all sorts of nonsense.

Ain't nothin better than that double espionage

I would've held up a bunch of signs with middle fingers late in the game.

SIAP but Ford has us as -9.5 against UK and only +3 against UGA

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

lol…no be evidence Harbaugh is involved?? He is standing on sideline right beside the kid with the signals on a sheet! You seriously think Harbaugh had no idea about it??!! This should receive at least as much punishment as we ended up with, if not more.

Head people are smarter than that. They definitely allow it and know what's happening, but the smart ones place enough length between them and the actors so they can deny.

So his kids are dumb?

That’s because thinking sign stealing is what had South Carolina boat racing us last year was always a cope

Stalion hard at work for his lord Harbaugh only to realize he’s been bamboozled:


*except it reads: “UP… YOURS… JIMBO!”

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Do we also use the same signal setup on defense that we do on offense? Like the 3 signalers where one is live and 2 aren’t? Honestly can’t remember.

Yeah my bad will do better next time.

Mack Brown knew.

That was so weird when it happened live. Now I do wonder.

Vitello finds kids with the coolest names lol stone lawless, and now cash williams

???

According to your statement, Harbaugh must be the dumbest coach ever.

I'm more convinced there is SEC bias/cheating against us than I am with USCjr knew our offensive signs last season. I could believe they stole our defensive signals but UT having 3 guys signally plays on offense would be tough to crack..... I guess. Who knows, people ain't got crap to do but be sneaky.... maybe they did get our offensive signals figured out too.

I don't think so. Not sure what they do, but I don't think we have a chipmunks type setup on defense.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I have been in several football programs as a very distant employee to the HC and I can tell you for a fact that the HC knows everything that goes on in his program.

EVERYTHING.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

USCjr stealing our signs didn't cause us to not cover a soul or miss every tackle guys.. or Jalin Hyatts two huge drops and Hookers overthrows that day.

All of a sudden, I think I love you (in a totally bro-hug no-homo way).

Show cause for Beamer, garbage, Saban, and smart. Don’t know if smart and Saban were involved but you can’t be too sure…

I'd take the Vols up to -12.5. . .

I think they use pictures of Kurt Cobain, Chris Carnell, and Keith Richards.
