Frick that crew. Not even about the outcome. Officials have been shite this year.

Same crew that called the UT/Bama game in Knoxville. We tried to tell you people, but you all just wanted to pretend we were just sore losers.

They are bad. A poor reflection on the entire conference, actually.

We would've been better off if they'd called it a safety. I wanted it to be a safety.

I can understand botching that call live. It was a mess. How they ruled after review that he made it out of the end zone is a mystery to me.

Absolutely atrocious call... Worst i've seen in a long time & for SEC officials that's saying something

Same crew that botched the Bo Nix backwards spike and were suspended for it.

I truly don’t know how they’re allowed to continue to officiate big games.

Between that and some VERY generous defensive holding and PI calls, they were doing their best to keep UT in it. Every point they scored other than the opening drive FG was largely due to the refs. But, hey, whatevs, we still whupped that arse.

Didn't they also initially rule Stetson OOB on that TD run when it was a clear as day TD? SEC refs across the board have had a very difficult time properly spotting the ball in a lot of games this year.

Didn't realize that, but you are correct. How are they still employed? That was another insanely horrible call

I actually think Tennessee got screwed on the call. It was an incomplete pass and the ball should have been placed on the 4 yard line instead of the inch line

This right here is what you call a thrown call. Nothing else it could be. Surely they know millions are watching and can plainly see it's a safety. Or, if that is what they really saw, they need to be fired and replaced.

I didn’t understand that call.

Other bad calls this week:
The blindside block on Auburn was a terrible call. The Missouri roughing the punter call was bad.

So...if it was a safety, Georgia would have gotten 2 points and Tennessee would have kicked off from the 20 yard line. As it was, Tennessee had to kick from the 1 yard line...so Georgia gets the ball at the UT 37. Georgia scores on their first play from scrimmage. In this instance, it may have actually been better for UT to have taken the Safety than punt from inside their own 1.

Mcconkey cooked your DB.
Take the 2, take the good starting starting position after the safety, and score on that sorry arse defense.

Sorry. Always take the points. Being up by 3 scores is better than being up by 2.

Definitely a safety. That crew did everything they could to help Tennessee. Allowed them to hold all game on offense and then flag Georgia on defense for any contact to Tillman

That’s starting with the assumption that UGA doesn’t score after the safety, anyway. Which I’m not sure is a safe assumption.

What’s really bad is the replay official who gets 8 different angles of a play and still decides to go with the ruling on the field. The ruling on the field doesn’t need to be given to the replay official

Definitely. That was a perplexing call upon review. Stet's feet weren't even close to the line to be called out of bounds, and he knocked the pylon over with the ball. It was as obvious of a TD as you can get and they still said he was out. Glad replay was so clear. That crew wasn't good.
