The Official Tennessee vs. Alabama Game Thread, 2:00pm ET, ESPN2/WatchESPN

Good game

or, Rammer, Jammer, yellow hammer......

Non-foul, I would never call a foul the offensive player tries to initiate by jumping into the defender.

 

[Backwards K]

There were 15+ seconds left when the play started. If Alabama couldn't get a better shot than that, they shouldn't be whining because a ref didn't bail them out.

I thought it was 100 percent a foul and I thought Golden pushed off in the previous possesion.

Whatever though I will take it. We have been getting crap officiating for weeks so it doesn't bother me one bit.

I disagree, I think it was a blocking foul if anything on Bama against Golden.

 

[utvolkyle06]

If I was a ref I would not call a foul in that situation on either team. If the defender had grabbed him or held him I would call a foul. But this is a good no call regardless which team was on offense

Then you'd miss a lot of calls.

Golden pushed off on the in bounds although there may have been a bit of a flop.

Then you'd miss a lot of calls.

The big difference on this particular call is that Stokes bought the fake, but was back on the ground without having touched the offensive player when lacy decided to jump into him.

Good no call.

Go to Hell, Alabama.

Looked like Lacy just ran out if time and needed a bailout call. Doesn't matter at this point as long as Bell and the other potential recruits heard the final score (assuming they left).

This type of basketball is like watching paint dry

I thought you liked a defensive game?

It was sarcasm. Anyone who didn't get excited watching that has issues.

The last 5 min yes.

 

[Obsessedvol]

Hey Bama! Hey Bama! Hey Bama! We just beat the hell outta you! Rammer jammer yellow hammer go to hell Alabama!! Go vols!!

 

[volbreaker]

Stokes was straight up. Shooter extended arms out to stokes, jimmy dykes you can SUCK IT!

I thought that it was Mark Jones that kept going on about it.... being Dykes, it makes more sense. He drives me crazy.

 

[volbreaker]

I guess the calls really do even out.

I heard that
Zo sent a film to the SEC this week. It appears to have paid off and that makes the last few games officiating even more maddening.

Great win! First live game I had seen in quite a while. It's also the second time I have seen a vols team beat a Bama team. All I need now is our football team to beat Bama and I have the set!
