Someone cool and collected like @jave36 combined with or followed by someone who carries the eternal flame like @VolsDoc81TX or @SweetasSoda.

@Glitch's job is to bust into the room in his Vols regalia and set the tone.

@nicksjuzunk could just write the thread title and follow it with "GBO!" That would provide a way for the new people to leave the karmic aspect of the thread to Nick without taking Nick more than a minute or two max to do his job.

I'm sure I am leaving good options out. There are a lot of people here I did not mention who would do a great job. Someone help me out.

I can do the game thread, but you won’t be able to see it until after Thanksgiving…

On screwy officiating, I’ll say this then shut up.

I’ve been around corrupt politics to have a feel for what is likely at play. I think officials hate our style of play and hate getting assigned to our games. It’s fast, taxing, and stresses their limits. And we’re unapologetic about causing that stress.

This isn’t limited to SEC refs. There’s a very small group of people in the profession, and it’s an art to them. To make it up the ladder, you have to control the flow of the game. It gets into having to know who the star players are and letting them play without much interference. They don’t like being controlled, but to be in control. This is based on some inside knowledge I’ve acquired.

Back to political corruption, if you don’t pander, you’re exiled. Oh sure, politicians are great at appearances on the surface, but it’s a dirty game if you know what’s really going on.

How does this apply to officiating? College coaches have to pander to avoid being at odds with officials. If you make their job difficult, the small fraternity will exile you. Our unwavering style of play has exiled us from their good graces.

That’s exactly what we’re seeing this year. It’s not from the SEC office. Its that we make their job difficult, word travels, and they’re making it tough on us in return. Oh sure, Sankey knows what’s going on, but he’s not orchestrating it nor stepping in the way.



TL;DR: the ref system is broken

Interesting thoughts that seem very realistic. I bet if Joe pulls a Longest Yard and nails a few of them in the groin, they will stop being biased against us.

I agree to a lot of what you say and have dealt with my share of politicians back in my day. I also had a friend who was a Big 12 official back then as well, who went on to be a crew chief. You are heading down the right path IMO

The last words though are the problem. As long as the NCAA allows the conferences to have their own officials including performance reviews of same, it will remain the mess it is. So then it falls back on Sankey/B-Ham - which IS the problem. When he goes along with the buddy/star system to benefit the haves and not anybody else - the whole system becomes rotten to the core. Sankey is more about the paycheck than doing things with integrity. He has proven that repeatedly. That leads to the corruption and manipulation, which eventually leads to destruction of what was once good.

Which is where we find ourselves today - just like politics.

JMO as always.

This is about as reasonable an explanation of what we have witnessed with officiating as any I have heard.

Doris Burke talking bout Grant Williams voice being annoying clearly hasn't heard her voice. ESPN has 2 of the worst announcers/voices doing this Mavs & Nuggets game with her & Doc Rivers 🙄

i am so happy that Doc Rivers is no longer the 76ers coach.

Gotta ask how a coaching staff, admin, officials, troopers...anyone...would allow that situation to develop.

it use to happen a lot…. Tennessee use to punt the ball in warm ups and run through the other team on the way to the locker room during pre game… One time…. it started a huge fight with Vandy…. got us fired up and we put over 60 on them.
