I agree with all of this. Also hate the gators more than any team on Earth and will until i die. We are probably about the same age...i was 21 in 1998 when we won it all. So Spurrier and team nearly ruined my teenage life for Petes sake. I was sitting behind the endzone with my Dad (RIP Pop) for the Jabar Gaffney NO CATCH that cost us another Chip.

We have gotten absolutely jobbed this season by the refs especially in our 2 losses...but what is equally concerning is the bad calls against AP this season IN Neyland too. I am starting to think that the refs hate our tempo which ruins their day every single game because it puts so much pressure on them to do their jobs in 17 seconds instead of 45 seconds between snaps. I kinda understand...if i had to perform my job at 3x normal speed every time i worked for a certain client...with ZERO extra pay, praise, or any other reward to offset the incredible stress of going 3x normal speed (in front of 100k people who hate me) then I would certainly HATE working for that client. HATE IT. Yet here we are ...we are gonna keep spreading them out to the sidelines and playing at warp speed as long as we have this great coaching staff.

Somethings got to "give". We are gonna run this fast tempo...and we need refs to call a fair game for both teams. That CLEARLY is not happening this season at all. Yet CJH and our AD are apparently too scared to really raise Cain about it like Saban would....at least in public. The game tape does not lie..and some of these "no calls" on our opponents are very blatant. Somethings got to give or we will not be ALLOWED to beat bama or uga. Much like BC and Duke were NOT allowed to beat an FSU team they dominated from the 1st whistle. It seems that the fix is in for the SEC, ACC, and B1G leaders and has been all season.

Generally handling it in private works best. Doesn't seem to be this time so I won't be surprised if White or Heupel take an open shot soon. The media is starting to really work it too which should be helping.

However if the motive is a set up to get Bama and UGA together in the CG... then the SEC office has to be involved.

Im not sure if the agenda is to help Georgia and Alabama or if there is some insane reason they want to decelerate our offense or create some kind of problem for Heupels offense in some way, I dont know what the deal is but we have been getting crap calls all year and that's not orange glasses its just the truth.

The SEC is definitely rigged for Georgia and Alabama. There is no doubt in my mind. Tennessee has been screwed all year it started with the Florida game. That was a joke with the sh*t that happened in that game. Alabama was was blatant the whole game but especially after half time with all the holding. I didn’t watch the Kentucky game but I heard about all the blatant no calls. The SEC wants Georgia and Alabama in the SEC championship and you better believe they control the refs. This year has opened my eyes to how bad it is.

It's not my damn profession. But hell yes im physically capable of seeing the calls, running around and blowing a ***** whistle lol. I wouldn't necessarily want to call a UT game since that's who I am a fan of. I'm sure it would take some training like most professions.

It's nobody's "damn profession."

It's a side gig, and obviously involves more than running around blowing a whistle.

The moon landing happened, there are no aliens in Roswell, and SEC refs are too incompetent to rig an entire conference. Good lord guys.

Sorry, but with all due respect I can’t agree on your first two claims.
How can you prove the moon landing happened, and how do you know there are no aliens in Roswell? Oh, you must trust the government.
On your third claim of SEC refs competency I agree, plus the SEC is crooked.

If you happen to be watching the LSU-Bama game and saw the hit Dallas Turner just put on Jaylen Daniels and the refusal to even review it for targeting, it shows you all you need to know about the Bama bias in officiating. It is blatantly obvious and one sided at this point.

That might have been the worse no-call I’ve ever seen. He literally planted his helmet in the QBs head

Then you should have no problem going through the process and taking their jobs from them because you think you're so much better.

C'mon now, 'bama did get called for 60 yards of penalties, AT HOME, no less.
Click to expand...
Need some facts. How many yards were unavoidable dead ball fouls vs live ball fouls involving JUDGEMENT? It is the variability in judgement calls that most blatantly allow favoritism, or even homerism to make the calls INEQUITABLE, i.e. on holding calls both offensively and defensively. Illegal procedure and offsides not so much. However, I have seen lots of OBVIOUS offensive formation violations NOT called. Pretty easy to see count to 4, or counting to 1 as multiple guys shift and have to get set before the snap for a full second and DON'T. Have to create a statistic of UNCALLED penalty yardage to completely assess this topic. That is before you even take into account the impact of lost yardage or momentum due to bad or no calls.

All one has to do is look at recruiting records for the pst 4 years and you can quickly see who should be the best teams. No conspiracy.

I HAVE wondered if SOME of the bias is because the officials fear that "A" call will be featured on TV that seriously factors into a loss to those teams CONSISTENTLY in the playoffs and IT could be calculated to have kept them out. Playoff expansion could help there.

Forgot the blue font. With just one flag on the choke hold vs Bama, that game takes a completely different trajectory. Bama might have still won. But that play turned the game.

If I wanted to do that sure. I'm pretty comfortable with my career. Maybe they should just receive better training and actually do their jobs well. Also a grading system in place doing away with conference ties. Seems funny you are so reactive to critics of officials and I am certain you are critical of our players. Sure our guys need to be better and not do stupid things, however our guys are not the only ones committing fouls. They are all over VN and many other outlets usually right in front of an official you are so desperately trying to defend. Call it even or don't call it at all.

It's horrifying that the Vols had zero live ball fouls called against their opponents during a 177 minute stretch of SEC football.

It is statistically impossible that happened "naturally."

Rightttt.

For some random reason, the SEC has it out for Tennessee.

Not only that, they've created a vast conspiracy convincing multiple officiating crews to tank games.

...... with nobody finding out.

You've watch too many movies my friend.

I think they were the best teams coming into this year anyways. I do think there have been some interestingly officiated games, but I am not sure if it is a fix, it is that big. I am curious how well refs historically live on average well after football. Regardless, I don’t think so. We had every chance last year to make it with one loss and we blew it on South Carolina.

We really needed to beat Florida this year and we didn’t.
We had Bama down and we didn’t finish.
Unfortunately, we have to play the two teams you have mentioned every year and no other team does.
Those two teams rarely if ever play each other during the regular season.

These things cannot be a reality and us expect to win the East. The fact we are still alive… barely… is a gift.

So, I just can’t get caught up in that stuff until I think we are playing our best and taking advantage of opportunities.

That said, I’m still pretty excited about what I am seeing on the field. Would have been great for Mizzou to make things where we control our own destiny, but looks like we now need Ole Miss to help us play for more.

Still, lots to root for.

We still could go 10-2 with a dub over MIZ and GA btw.

If we don’t win out, it is hard to care much about the bigger picture, because it means we lost to two teams not mentioned in your post that we are supposed to be better than in the same season.

Lots of football to play and crazier things have happened. Let’s take care of MIZ and worry about other things later… GO VOLS!!!!

With all that has come out about Michigan spygate and them supposedly contacting usc Jr. I don't think we or Clemson blew those games last year. Just saying
