Agreed
Penalties, even the non existent ones are hurting us.

Let em play!
It is very disappointing when officials take the game out of the kids hands and keep halting a momentum change. I hope our guys don’t come out flat like they did after the horrible officiating in the first half of the Ga. game
umm...
Its very disappointing. It made me throw a bottle threw my wall. I have a temper. ANyone know how to fix that? Not the temper. The hole.

thanks guys.
This is my second! Other one was last years Bama game. I just really hate them. I can’t control myself. It’s hard being form a Bama family and living down here amongst all these bama and auburn fans.
I am mad as hell and
I guess I’m going to have to take it but dammit I’m mad.
Deferring is for p_ssies. Make a decision!

was probably enough though
unless we return some ints or fumbles.

must.. score.. touchdown..
Bama cannot score anything else before Tennessee scores something, or it’s over.

vol defenders are visibly winded
"Florida didnt win their first SEC title until 1991 and now they think they invented football."
-Ron Zook
I just don't think...
We have enough left to close the gap. Offense is just too unreliable. Plus defense is getting tired
============
lawvol: Gate 21 - Life, the Universe, & the Bounce of the Ball
how did they miss that huge hold by the bama lineman there???
"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

Did anyone
ANYONE think it would be this bad? Are there any more ways for an offense to uh screw up?

The SEC is best in a lot of things
but SEC officials flat-out suck. Getting worse every year.

I like Steve Shaw’s crew. They’re pretty good

Oh, so now it's let the players play. I see how it is.

If you're on the anti-Fulmer train
Relax. He won’t be here after the end of the season.
"Florida didnt win their first SEC title until 1991 and now they think they invented football."
-Ron Zook
Yeah
And with nothing else to play for, I’m ok with that. With the recruiting class mostly signed, and today’s visitors probably not signing, a mid-season firing doesn’t really accomplish anything except to placate the pitchfork crowd. Not a good pattern to establish.

How many interference calls can we get on a single series?
Interesting offensive strategy, but at least it’s working

It’s still a TD
