I'm just irate. How can an official say a game is over and then decide to review a play first afterwards? Would never have gone to any overtime had Tennessee not missed the extra point in regulation which would have won the game for them regardless of the NC field goal. Not saying anymore, don't want to talk about this anymore. Highly upset.

I was pulling for Tennessee, too but was not as emotionally involved as you...but I understand.

Until the NCAA gets serious about officiating crews BS like this happens.

The official didn't have to say anything....he should be reprimanded but nothing will happen.

Once you get to be a NCAA official it is like being a Supreme Court justice you stay there for life.

I'm whining. Until UNC pulled off the win, I had lost 5 in a row. BTW sorry, Lady D, about your Vols. You deserve to whine -- that was just the strangest thing ever -- game over, and then they had to pull all of the players back onto the field to continue the game.

The people playing ESPN's bowl mania had a bad day. Only one person with 17 wins, 8 with 16, and only 34 with 15 wins. I'm 15741 and whining.

I'm also whining about the excessive celebration penalty in the Kansas State/Syracuse game. A player from K State got an excessive celebration penalty for merely saluting the crowd when he made a touchdown. Bad call, refs.

I am still angry this morning. I cannot even begin to talk about it. Just brings back what went down in the LSU game. But as to the excessive celebrating call against K State, the SEC officiating crew are really bad about calling that. Wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't a SEC official.

I'm sorry Lady D. I was thinking of you while watching that. That was perhaps the craziest/worst ending I have ever seen, and that includes all our missed field goals.

The Vols always seem to be sh*t on in football by everyone, especially the officiating crews, even the SEC officiating crew. I blame Daniel Lincoln for the missed extra point that would have won the game. And poor Tyler Bray who threw the pick in the 2nd OT, he left the field with tears coming down his face.

Don't worry. My picks on SoWal were exactly what the ESPN guys recommended in their bowl show on 12/13 except for Air Force (but they had the lowest confidence level on that game of any other bowl).:bang:

At least we're not getting paid to forecast scores in a 2.5 hour TV special. Maybe they need to quit their day job?:idontno:

I feel bad for Tyler Bray & the vols. I would look out next season though, I think the vols are going to be alot better. Especially since we have found a quarterback that has the potential of being truly great. We will see what happens, lets just hope that those true freshman linemen that played in the music city bowl can get some more playing time next year in order to improve their skill of play. They did not do bad by any means, but they were just a little inexperienced. And as for me, I definently need to do better on the pick em's next season. Can we get some more vols games thrown in the mix next season?
