FootballFanatic 4 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I noticed during the very start of the possession in the first half the play clock no longer worked. Strange that happened when had the ball and a need to get some momentum. They were trying no huddle but with no clock they couldn't keep any rythem. Just one of those odd occurances that hampered the offense early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argo 8 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Well we tried to pay off the officials again but they were a little shy about it after the Ole Miss heat. When we realized they weren't going to take our money, we just decided to screw with the play clock and game clock. I hear we are going put stadium workers under the field with fishing line to pop up and trip any LSU players that get into open field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 0 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Uhhhh, UT runs a no huddle always. It was talked about the entire week leading up to the game. They didn't get a single delay of game penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanTiger 20,508 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 That's funny. I remember watching that and thinking it sucks for UT that the clock isn't working. Next thing you know, the clock is working against...when Alabama had the ball. I chuckled and said, "that's convenient" to my wife. I'm positive that enabled Alabama to go down and score that 24 point touchdown on that drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,107 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 i thought it was weird that the refs wouldn't let tennessee play with corners or safeties. i thought that really hampered their ability to defend the passing game. bama must've paid them.

rexbo 104 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Uhhhh, UT runs a no huddle always. It was talked about the entire week leading up to the game. They didn't get a single delay of game penalty. Even the announcers talked about it being a big disadvantage for UT; where the QB likes to take his time to scan the field and make the snap actually near the end of the clock. They run no-huddle, not a hurry up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,107 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 that's understandable. i mean when you make a deal with the devil you can't expect it to come cheap, and i see hear that it cost you a chance to have arian foster take snaps. all in all, i thought dj hall being allowed to roam more freely than an open range cow was a nice thing to get at the discount rate.

rebdawg 5 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Had there been fair officials in that game the score would have been reversed. Take pride in the win if you want, but everyone else who watched the game knows that Alabama may have won, but they did not beat Tennessee. UT scored 17 points, Bama scored 3, the officials scored 38 that were givien to Bama. Two weeks in a row, Slive has some questions to answer.

Man.. you always bust us out... but since the secret's out, i'll tell you our next strategy against LSU just to save some people the trouble of starting these threads so it would be by our own admission... Since paying the refs is getting more and more obvious, next game we'll be using different visual effects to tilt the game to our advantage... We'll fly blimps with reflecting mirrors in the sky above the stadium that their only job is to reflect sun light on LSU players eyes while playing.. Trust me.. LSU will muff every kicked ball in their direction.. bank on it... Since that job is easily done, the only difficult issue is that the game will be broadcasted during night, so we signed a service agreement with Superman to fly around the globe and reverse the motion of the globe so that we can have sunlight by the end of the first quarter so that we can execute our strategy.. i was hoping that we do that un-noticed but you guys are apparently too smart that you'll most likely catch it.. so why not confess...

Legionfield 0 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I thought that was odd, too. However, I thought it actually helped UT. There were several plays where Ainge to 30+ seconds and checked off what seemed like 3 or 4 times, without a delay of game penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
