Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Checker_the_Shire]

I’m beginning to think Indianapolis called down to Sanky’s office. The fix is in tonight. This has been some BS officiating.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I typically don’t blame refs but this is pitiful

[Jimmy Football]

Escuse? It is zero to do with it - eff em.

The whole thing is just depressing. We're peaking in every sport...and now this BS? And now the trolls come out. And it's another year of bickering like the Pruitt crap.

We went from AI pictures and having a blast and now the sours are coming out of the woodworks. It just sucks all around

Hopefully folks keep up their usual chatter. Can't take 12 months of this nonsense and everyone talking worst case scenarios. Nope. Won't do it.

Thank goodness for Barnes Ball and Vitello Time coming up. I'll focus on that and steer the convo to the good things. Suck it chi chi rodriguez

It is depressing. And maddening.

But it’s pretty big news and it literally just happened. You trying to change the topic just feels like you’re trying to draw heat away from the people responsible for it. I’m sorry, but it does.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I hate when refs do this.

 

[UTProf]

It’s such an unwinnable situation for them that I’ve become convinced they’re just doing it to let it hang over our heads for a couple of years.

I'm not 100 percent on the NCAAs organization but I have a feeling it's organized like a lot of older orgs are with countless subcommittees and working groups all doing their own thing. They've grown so large over the years that they have no idea what someone else in another dept. is doing and even work against one another at times. The NCAA needs to be completely re-organized and streamlined. But at this point, I don't know how that can happen without some more losses. Of course, at the rate they're going they'll hit their existential crisis sooner rather than later.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Tell me again how this isn't fixed.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

That’s our first time at the FT line. That’s BS.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Pat Adams making absolutely sure you know he’s reffing this game.

 

[MarcoVol]

Pat Adams making absolutely sure you know he’s reffing this game.

He’s always the main attraction

 

[mr.checkerboards]

We smoked Bama

 

[Devo182]

Man how is SC not ranked?

Started with a weak schedule, but I agree.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Ummmmm..... He got a lot of ball there.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

We smoked Bama

He didn't ref that game.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Ope, doc has made it to the Avi thread!

 

[JCP201]

Pat Adams going to make it impossible for us to win.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

This is absurd. I mean, the refs are not why this game is close but this is an absurd second half.

 

[Devo182]

Slow starters..... Thats not a good thing.

It's basketball.

You either grasp the level of variance or not. You can't just will it in basketball.

 

[Volnut]

The problem with all this is the damage has already been done. Opposing coaches will use this to say Tennessee is about ready to be thrown under the jail, whether true or not. Whomever is behind this has already gotten the desired affect. If I'm Tennessee, I'm sending a letter to the NCAA demanding that they dispute the report or they'll sued into oblivion.

I am not an insider, but I have a strange suspicion that somewhere behind all this is someone yelling, “ Row dam tide!”

This isn't nothing wait for the officiating discrepancy at Kentucky Saturday..

It needs to be disbanded. It has no purpose in a non-amateur college sports environment.

Completely agree. This is ridiculous.

 

[jakez4ut]

5 fouls in like 90 seconds?

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Surely this idiot won't work the Ky game.
