From an Auburn fan and former high school official, you are right. I didn't think the receiver got in the end zone for Tennessee's last touchdown, either. Maybe Gallion, attorney for former Alabama coaches Ronnie Cottrell and Ivy Williams, is right and Tennessee has the NCAA in its back pocket

We lost because we have that idiot Zook for a head coach.

He's NOT a sore loser. The TV commentators even showed a replay and wondered aloud why the ref didn't flag the Vol.

Corruption, pure and simple. The Vols FINALLY beat the Gators in Knoxville. (yawn).

Go Gators!

Come on. 14 of the Gators points came off of turnovers that are easily attributed to freshmen mistakes. This game could have easily been 35-7 UT.

Go Vols.

Umm, respectfully, CU crushed that same Nebraska team, in Lincoln, and would've beaten GaTech by three touchdowns. The reason why GaTech was a co-champion is because the Buffs came in second by one-vote in the coaches poll despite going into the game ranked number 1 in both polls.

Not that I am sensitive or anything.

If you can't get four stinking yards in two plays to run out the clock, you don't deserve to win the game. Florida is going nowhere until we get a real head coach.

I guess you completely overlooked where I have twice stated that I root AGAINST Florida. I wasn't robbed, Florida was.

But Tennessee fans have plenty of experience overlooking a lot of things...

Terps fan...don't like either team...

1 - The second guy ALWAYS gets called

2 - That FG would've been good from 65

Touchy call, but not a tainted victory IMHO...Leak and Ainge will definitely produce more classics in the near future...

Get real. Zook out-coached Fulmer from the second quarter on. This year UT has more talent than the Gators. Chris Leak is killer. Next year Fla should be a for real National Champ. contender.

Go Vols!
and really, Go Gators!

If I were to step back from my partisanship for a moment and analyze the ref's decision, I would say...

Yes, the play could easily have been called as offsetting penalties. The ref was obviously watching the entire sequence. But, it seems to me, the only rationale to the play as it was called was that the first head slap happened immediately at the end of the play as a sort of continuation. The FL player had to come back, after the play was clearly ended, to slap back. And, the 2nd slap was harder than the first. The first slap was borderline, and could have been called. The second was clearly over the line and should have been called.

Stuff goes on like that for the whole game. I've been on the losing end of similar calls/non-calls and had to live with it. Now I get to live with being on the other side of this one. It feels good. I'll take it!

Outcoaching Fulmer isn't saying much.

Not really much different than what the media does to the Swift Boat vets, just a different venue.

These Swiftee stickers get the word out to the driving public and displays your public support for the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth! It even displays their website address!

I didn't think so until I saw the third replay.
Judgement call, could have gone either way.
Go Vols.
