Was it just me or were there some pretty bad calls yesterday


Oct 21, 2012, 10:51 AM

What is the point of the replay officials if they blow things as badly as they did yesterday. We got some breaks and so did VT so it balanced out but I thought it was just terrible yesterday.

Agreed

I think the incomplete call on Nuk was a TD, but at the same time Sammy fumbled and it was ruled down. It all worked out for the god guys in the end, but definitely some missed calls.

Hilarious "in the grasp" call when our guy had Thomas


Oct 21, 2012, 10:59 AM

by the ankle while he completed a pass.

Watkins was a fumble but Tajhs fumble should have been a TD


Oct 21, 2012, 10:59 AM [ in reply to Agreed ]

It evens out.

I didn't think you could gain yards on a fumble.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

As long as it isn't 4th down and another player recovers***

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We still got that TD


Oct 21, 2012, 12:11 PM [ in reply to Watkins was a fumble but Tajhs fumble should have been a TD ]

But the refs are ACC refs so what do you expect?

Professionals? We pay those guys to ref?

1. There were two VT incomplete laterals during the game that went out-of-bounds. Officials missed the first one and spotted the ball at the original line of scrimmage. They picked up on the second one and spotted the ball correctly.
2. On one VT pass, the receiver caught the ball with his knee on the ground, stood up and picked up 5 additional yards after he should have been called down.

I hate stopping the game on plays that were obviously correct, but replay officials should have stopped the game on both those missed calls.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The knee call was correct


Oct 21, 2012, 12:19 PM

The receiver actually bobbled the ball as his knee hit the ground, then caught it on his way back up.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Sammy's butt hit the ground before he lost the ball...


Oct 21, 2012, 11:37 AM [ in reply to Agreed ]

the ground can't cause a fumble, learn the rules of the game.

Re: Sammy's butt hit the ground before he lost the ball...


Oct 21, 2012, 11:54 AM

Watch it again before you start questioning people's knowledge of the game. His butt was still off the ground and the ball was out.

2024 free_orange level membermilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Saw it 15 times already and the ball didn't come loose until


Oct 21, 2012, 12:14 PM

after his butt hit the ground. Again the ground can not cause a fumble.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He never said the ground could cause a fumble***

You should watch it without the orange colored glasses. I'm about as big a homer as there is about calls going our way, but there was one view that was clear as day that he was still in the air and the ball was out.

maybe watch it another 15 - 1000 times, and you're still wrong. Sorry man - but you're just plain wrong on this one. The call was horrible. Especially on the replay. The ONLY part of Watkins that touched the ground was his right hand prior to ball coming out - and that was pretty close. The hand doesn't count, so the call was bad.

You could have put "War and Peace" under his butt and it would still have been a bad call. (BTW: that book is very thick)

they were bad calls in a lot of games yesterday. Watched a lot of games yesterday. It was the worst I have seen in a long time.

Couldn't make it to the game yesterday. (health reasons)

Go Tigers !!!!! just play thru the bad calls........

I noticed that as well. It was the chicken game (as well as another SEC game which I can't remember now) where I noticed a ton of bad calls too.

2024 purple level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Some vary poor calls, and I thought we definately benefited


Oct 21, 2012, 11:06 AM

by them more the VaTech

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

And oh yea, splng dn't kount***


Oct 21, 2012, 11:06 AM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yes, and the most disturbing part of it is they had a chance


Oct 21, 2012, 11:24 AM

with replay to get the calls right, yet didn't, even though they very clearly and obviously had the calls wrong on the field. There was plenty of evidence to overturn.

A lot of terrible calls, VaTech got away with a lot of holds***

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

One of the worst


Oct 21, 2012, 11:41 AM

days I've seen in quite a while. I honestly feel that most of the calls went our way for once. I must say that Frank Beamer handled the reporter's question phenomenally well. The FSU/UM calls were just as bad. Can our conference call any more negative attention to itself?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

VaTech got away with about 10 holds on offense.***


Oct 21, 2012, 12:15 PM



badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

And a lot of pass interference


Oct 21, 2012, 12:16 PM

But we did benefit the most ....and it's about time we got the calls.

Typical ACC officiating


Oct 21, 2012, 12:19 PM

They are the absolute worst officials in college football and to further compound maters, there is no accountability for their incompetence.
