what the Volol is failing to omit is that the refs took away an obvious TD we had on the play before.


That just highlights how bad the officiating is.

They probably should have reviewed it, but the video you linked does not show clear evidence of a fumble. And I agree more camera angles would help.

Did anyone else get a penalty for defensive delay of game because a player went in for an injured player and his pants were too short? I thought not.

So here's the thing.

Pretty sure that they DID in fact call a time out as the next play was being run and they reviewed thr play.

Next I'll add this.

I had guests there sitting with us on the 50 yard line West Lower from Michigan, Maryland and New Jersey watching the same game and, to a man, they all remarked on how badly that game was called by that crew.

That crew missed so many holds by UT's OLine and WRs it was criminal. And that crew missed two obvious facemasks by a UT LB and DLineman.

So it cut both ways. It was a bad crew and it stood out even to fans from other schools ... fairly neutral fans. Even the women noticed it.

That crew sucked donkey balls.

What the Vols don’t want want you to know is refs stopped the play AFTER we scored a touchdown to review the play before that, taking away a touchdown.

Plus you can’t see any fumble happen on any angle. Take your loss and go home.

Did I say I feel bad about it? Nah.. UT fans deserve it (other than my wife). But for those saying it wasn't clear that it's a fumble, it's either willful ignorance or you have eyesight problems. You literally see the ball roll around between 2's legs before he rotates in front of the camera view.

With that said, I can't say from this clip specifically who recovered, but it seems clear from other replays that piece isn't in question.

Georgia women's opinions don't count in this thread.

Did you see the missed holds and facemasks as well?

That's what I thought.

You didn't see anything.

Doesn’t matter. We got the TD the play before and got ripped off.
Tons of missed calls in favor of Tennessee.
Y’all need to worry about your next loss.
Tennessee, the new doormat of the SEC.

Except for the fact that you can and multiple people, from multiple fan bases, many of whom who don't like UT, did see the fumble.

The officiating was terrible. That's my point. Carolina got away with several holds and a facemask as well though, Rooster.

Refs put out another awful performance on more than just that play.

Show me the ball coming out and a Tennessee player grabbing it. You can’t. You see the bobble at the beginning, he regains control, and then nothing. The rest is speculation based on what you believe happened based on the Tennessee player 10 seconds later coming out with the ball.

You also chose to ignore the fact it shouldn’t have mattered because the play before it was a touchdown but the refs wiped it away by reviewing a previous play after the TD occurred.

Quit crying.

How high are you right now?

The video is in the OP and clearly shows the fumble. The first fumble happens at the 2 second mark as mentioned in the comments and then the 2nd fumble/loss of control happens again at the 4 second mark and the ball pops out with 35 of UT coming out of the pile with the ball.

Turn the volume up on the video. The announcers call out exactly what happens.

So everyone in the country, from multiple fan bases, see the fumble.. except for South Carolina fans.

Checks out, bruh.

You don’t see the ball pop out again, lmao.

There are plenty in this thread that aren’t gamecock fans saying exactly what I’m saying. You can’t see shite.

But you know what, argue about it until your fingers bleed.

27-24, 3 years in a row, 0-7 against Muschamp.

Except the fact that play never should have happened in the first place because the refs took our TD away.

Nice stopping us on the 2 pt conversion by the way.

He’s choosing to ignore that part because he knows we’re right.
