No one cares about your team’s bad calls, all fan bases think refs are out to get them

Most stories by Tennessee writers on their fan behavior read the same. They start with some analysis of a bad spot by the refs provoking a trash barrage thrown on the field and then mention a few other calls that did not go their way. The articles then condemn the fan behavior and suggest bad calls don’t justify throwing stuff on the field. If that’s the case, then why spend half the ink in the article whining about officiating? No one cares if you got a bad spot or not, no one. Everyone thinks their teams get bad spots.

Tennessee fans didn’t throw stuff because of a bad spot. They threw stuff because they are still mad Kiffin jilted them and the frustration of being terrible for the last twenty years spilled over when they realized they would probably lose to a lower tier SEC team coached by their nemesis.

This is no knock on Tennessee, fans are pretty much like that all over the SEC. They whine about refs when they lose, there is a ref screwed us thread on every losing teams forum boards right now, every team.

So it’s okay if your team loses to put up some long thread with imbedded videos of every bad spot you got or missed holding call the other team got. Just know that no one outside your fan base cares or believes the sec refs are biased against your team. Everyone thinks the refs hate them.
