The referees lied.....UT deserved the win, but there was definitely a whistle

I fricking hate SEC officials.

The "end result" was correct, but once you blow the fricking whistle, the play is over and you go on after that. You don't make up bullshite to cover your frickup.

And the SEC office will come out and say they made the right call. What a fricking disgrace of officials we have.

Not just a whistle but a ref running to the spot waiving his hands over his head and marking the exact spot where the knee supposedly went down.

It's the right result since the guy didn't come close to touching the ground and he had a convoy of blockers but according to the rules that play CLEARLY should have been stopped.

Sad - SEC refs just wanted to get UT bowl eligible and get the hell out of there. Vandy has been screwed all year.

The refs suck. There was no reason for a whistle to be blown in that situation.

Either way it was going to be a frick up.. so I'm glad we are on the winning side for once.

Vandy players still kept going after the whistle.

Yeah, there was. The result ended up being the correct one, but the refs had to go outside "the rules" to make it happen.

This is like the time the officials reviewed the replay on the jumbotron and correctly awarded a fumbled ball to LSU (against Bama)...this is back before we had a replay booth.
