Win! Go VOLS!

Been checking the threads for game updates and I love this board.

Scrolling through though couldn't help but notice the needless argument between to fellow VOL fans. Everyone plays a part whether a civilian or military when this country goes to war. I am in the air force and have been for the past 7 years. I have been thanked on this board more times then I have gone to sleep in my life.

With that being said I wasn't going to comment on the argument because it's not needed but for ALTIMORE/ALTIDORE to make a a$$hole comment about someones people skills when they get out of the military/war is WRONG on any level. People suffer from Post tramatic stress syndrome and that $hit is real. In every war. I go to the American legion monthly and spend time with Vets from decades of war. Most rewarding time ever spent especially since I currently serve. And it hurts sometimes seeing those vietnam vets suffer like they do. Some people will never be the same. So to ALTIMORE/ALTIDORE however you spell it, that is seriously a sad thing for someone to say.

Nevertheless GO VOLS!

I can agree with this it probably was uncalled for so I apologize for that one, but only that one. Last thing I'll say on it is that I've had many friends who have served in all different branches of our military. None of them were ever arrogant about their service. That was my only complaint to begin with.

Now back to the game.

Please believe me when I say I can't stand anything more then someone being arrogant and expecting ANYTHING for their service. The US military is 100% voluntary force and anyone who thinks they are entitled to something more then the next because they wanted to sign the dotted line and someone else chose a different path is wrong on every level. I love being in, to me nothing more rewarding, and that's even without the extra perks of the amazing support I get (even though that plays a HUGE part)!

Now as you said...back to the game!!

Go VOLS!

I honestly think we have to win the tournament to get in. Jmo. Too many bad losses, and so few road wins.

I really think if we can put up two 10+ pt wins and either win or stay close in the 3rd in the tourney we can sneak in. Won't matter if we don't win the next two games though. Will take a lot of luck too though. Probably NIT bound in the end.

I thought it wa horrible as well.

However watch the replay. Tatum slid his left foot a good 12-18 inches to the left as the contact came. Cam was way too wide and tried to close up as contact came, correct call.

You can be moving and it still be a charge.

Someone moving a few inches isn't always relevant in the block/charge if the guy is in position since it likely won't make a difference - if you blow over someone you were going to have a big ass collision whether he had moved those extra inches or not. Sometimes it does though and obviously a judgement call - and that's from the head of officiating in a recent interview.

agreed you can be moving. i was just clarifying that it wasnt as cut and dry a call as it seemed, tatum was still clearly sliding over when you slow mo'd it.

thats all i was saying, that Cam wasnt just camped out and set up for 4 seconds prior, he was actually moving, it was just subtle.

the block/charge call is probably the toughest call for a ref to make imo. did anyone see the special on that call on gameday this am, actually pretty informative.

oh - I don't even know what the play they were referring to was so I dunno if it was right or wrong - just thought I'd bring that up.
