UT And SEC Officiating

Freak, as a sports official, and as an owner, CEO and Game Assignor (now inactive), I can promise you that the officials are not arbitrarily prejudiced against UT. Could they be instructed to be so, that is a possibility.

Officials work years to get into SEC level games. Sports officiating is like the military, you move up only as your League supervisor or Sports Official management allows. It has little to do with skill and more to do with availability, if you are part of the Good Ole Boys Club and how well you do what you are told.

WTS, to institute a system-wide prejudice against one or more SEC universities is an extremely hard thing to do. One snitch, one interrupted communication, and the whole thing is exposed.

My vote: No Fckng way. Logistically, it's nearly impossible to pull off. Every single official would have to agree and there are a few whose integrity will not be compromised.

I'm not sure if you meant to address me since you quoted Velo, but I'm certainly not in the conspiracy camp.

Hamilton has filed two complaints against Tom Eades. Two seasons ago he didn't call a UT game the rest of the season after the complaint but his next game back he T'd up Bruce. Eades has T'd up Bruce more than any other and its not even close.

Are there rogue officials? Yes. Are they allowed their bias by their League Supervisors? Yes. How long? Not long unless that official has a League Supervisor willing to take the constant heat from the school. Does that happen? Hell yes. Often. Hell no.

We don't get our fair share of free throws. Only one reason. Bruce Pearl is a Jew. :sad:
If that isn't Satanic enough, Pearl puts Steven on the floor! Jew squared. :yikes:
I was on basketball teams for over ten years and never once, not ONCE, did I shoot a free throw. Nevermind that I never played, that's beside the point. :bad:

It's in the Torah :rtfm:,

"The People Of God shall be shown no mercy, receive no compensation, and shall get no reward. They shall be hacked, pushed, shoved and molested without their Lord God interceding."

Steven graduates, fire Pearl; all will be well. :dance2:

Well, there is clearly some sort of wide-ranging conspiracy then. Couldn't possibly be that we don't run an offense that enables to attack the rack and get to the line. That's outside the realm of possibility.

I heard a stat today that Tennessee is 99-148 from the line. The Vols rank last in the league in free throw attempts and last in free throws made.

By comparison, Vanderbilt has made 202 free throws so far this season.

This explains our conference record and vandy's.

Not saying there's a conspiracy but how likely is it that some of the officials have a slight vendetta against Pearl for the NCAA investigation? I seriously wonder how much of their knowledge about their investigation affects their officiating? Hopefully not much, if any.

the officials might not be to blame for the loss but they definitely didnt make things any easier on us for a comeback..
