Neyland, the only place where the stadium announcer excitedly announces the opponents first downs...

Why? WHy do we do that. It also the place where our band plays the opponents fight song.

I don't mind our band playing the opponents fight song as much as I mind the Pride playing while our young QB (or any of our QBs) is under center trying to run the offense.

But the clock management was a clear, unequivocal, admitted, and totally objective screw up for which the SEC apologized.

And the gators still had their chance to stop us but they didn't , this horse is as dead as any other dead horse subject, go troll for sympathy elsewhere.

Have you got the ten frames prior to that?

There are 30 frames in one second. Anyhow, what was the score when the "non-catch" happened? I think they could have either tied or beaten us with a short FG.

I do not seek, and certainly do not expect, any sympathy. But I do feel obliged to point out that the subjectively disputed Gaffney "catch" and the objectively true fact of the blown clock management are not comparable.

The debate is not about whether they mattered in the outcome of the game. Florida fans, for example, would point out that the Gators were on the 5 yard line with 30 seconds and another couple of downs and might have scored, anyway. UT fans point out that Florida might still have stopped the Vols from gaining yardage in the extra time they got. I am not arguing that, though I do have my opinions on it.

What I will point out here each and every time, however, is that you cannot compare the questionable catch to the unquestionably screwed up clock.

It was 23-20, so at worst they were probably going to tie it up with a FG anyway, and the way they blew down the field, a TD on the next play was a distinct possibility.

The call itself was a tough one to make, but the thing that got me about it was that the side judge who signalled TD was completely screened. Then if you watch the replay, he not only signalled TD, he sort of pumped his arms a few times as if he was trying to make his call more definitive.

The term "Turd in the punch bowl" is coming to mind right now.

Sour grapes are no sweeter objectively or subjectively, all I'm saying is let it go, both games are over.

If Tennessee converts 3rd and a foot in 2000, Florida never gets the ball back. If Florida plays any defense at the end of the game in '04, Wilhoit never gets a chance. Crying about officiating is almost always a means for covering up a team's inadequacies

If you get hosed throughout a game, you can legitimately complain. Tennessee blew the 2000 game. Florida choked away the '04 game. It's that simple.

EXACTLY . . . No matter how bad a call is, they DO even out in the long run.

Law, you have to know that clocks are mismanaged in games all the time, calls are missed all the time, there is always a phantom holding call that keeps a team from scoring, etc. The only difference comes when these human errors are made at decisive moments in games. Most miscalls and problems with officiating end up evening out over the course of a game. Please, stop whining about being 'objectively' screwed over.

I agree that there are bad calls throughout any game but rarely are they so objectively glaringly just plain wrong and rarely do they at least arguably affect the outcome.

As to asking me to stop whining, the answer to that would be that I will stop whining when everyone else stops trying to excuse the indisputably blown management of the clock in one game by saying they didn't like a subjectively questionable call in another game. The two have utterly nothing to do with each other and one does not "wash" the other away.

It's subjective when it happens to someone else. It's objective when it happens to you.

:biggrin2: :hi: Objectively speaking, I could probably use it.

Subjectively speaking, you're still the turd in the punch bowl in this thread. :D

I think the worse call was right before halftime during the Notre Dame game in '04.

And punting the ball down by 2 scores with a little over 5 minutes to go last year against Georgia.

Thanks. Yeah, I just remembered thinking that we were probably going to lose anyway. Oh, well.
