'21 Recruiting Forum: Music City Bowl vs. Purdue Pregame/Game Thread

Gtfo….seriously?

They are the highest scoring team in school history!! In the first year!

They are, that’s fantastic, but there’s room for improvement on late game management

 

[Jackcrevol]

still pissed. how do we always get stuck with shittiest umping crews? because Tennessee.

 

[jave36]

Give it a rest, you are completely wrong here and are just continuing to double and triple down. It was an absolutely horrible stop of forward progress.

Am I wrong because you want me to be, or are you going to provide some evidence? I didn't say it wasn't a horrible call. It was atrocious. I'm only making the case (correctly) that the whistle is not what determines the end of a play. It only notifies that the end of the play has happened. That's why you can't review it, because the timing of the whistle doesn't matter at all.

 

[GVol1966]

It is obvious to any astute observer that losing Alontae and Turnage was the straw that broke the camels back.

But it shouldn’t of been so obvious, there top 2 receivers were out!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

If the kid who needed two knee surgeries did that to WB. What would Bell have done?

I get that. Always room for improvement.

But to say Heupel has been straight ass all year is beyond ludicrous

There’s always room for improvement.

 

[jave36]

That is seriously flawed

Agreed. Forward progress should be reviewable, and the whistle should be a part of that review.

TY for pointing this out.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Bowser is on another level today.

 

[VolGee4]

I’ve going to be honest. That experience wasn’t good enough for us to go back for a while. Great crowd, disappointing venue, including bad field and atrocious officiating.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Bowser is on another level today.

Bowser is on another planet. Every day.

Been the guy who caught 7 passes for 200 plus yards and a couple of touchdowns.

 

[Volsdeep4]

Nobody from UT will say anything publicly. They never do. At most, UTAD will send a polite letter to the SEC noting their grievances, Sankey will ignore it and the inept officiating, bias and look-the-other-way nonsense will continue as it has for years. The SEC wants member institutions to take their multi-millions, shut up and support the gravy train that keeps everyone fat and happy. And UT seems to be content to do exactly that.

Sick of that

Probably more

That guy looked fine to me…. I think he was playing it up a lot…. He could barely move coming on and off the field…. He looked like he had died after every tackle….. when the play was snapped…. He showed no sign of injury nor did he show any sign of injury as he was jumping around celebrating.

 

[clt_tiger]

I know the call was bad when I have three people from New England texting me how bad that was.

Sorry, from the time you strap on your first helmet in peewee football you are taught the play doesn’t end until you hear a whistle. Been that way since before I was born. I don’t really care what BS you try to use to convince everyone that the call was correct.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I mean the same line judge that marked the last run before the missed FG at least a yard short.

They marked the ball a yard short all night long!! It cost us on poor spots on back to back plays then we went on 4th and didn’t make it. Should have never had to go for it on 4th down.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I love this team. Hate to see the seniors go out like that. Hate to see the seniors leave period. This is one of my favorite TN teams, not because of what they accomplished but how they competed.

Having said that, I've been out on Banks all year. In my eyes he's simply not an SEC level defensive coordinator. We were promised a gambling style defense that would force turnovers. We never got that. Nobody wanted the job so he took it. We have to field a better defense. We need more players and a better defensive play caller.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

But if we just pick up the first down instead of going deep back to back on 2nd and 3rd and 2, that likely never happens.

Trash level end of game coaching by Heupel. Awful awful awful. Burrell though my God doesn’t need to be playing even D2 level ball

No one is saying the call was correct. What part of that can't you grasp? Just cause your peewee coach told you something doesn't make it the rule. The play ends when the action on the field ends the play. The whistle just notifies everyone that has happened. That's explicitly how it works. Your peewee coach didn't want to have a philosophical discussion with you or didn't know the rule himself, so he told you "just play to the whistle."

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

45 points with spotty execution on plays that were wide open

Exactly

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

So you are saying that a ref can literally just totally **** you and say any play is dead at any time.

 

[Blake25p]

We got screwed and the whole country is saying we got screwed, it is what it is. I’m not going to let this game tarnish what was a season that far exceeded most of our expectations. Hopefully the guys coming back use this a motivation during the off-season, excited for the future.
