The player is not even across the line and the ball is out.
We got screwed. Big time.
I'm over it. But, they got us good.

as a replay offical.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that would end "the streak", not to mention my inside track of road knowledge of the SEC and lodgings.

While we're on replays... can someone get some snapshots of ALL of the Florida kickoffs? I'm pretty sure you'll see one of their guys offsides EVERY time... and none of it was called....
But when we kickoff in the fourth quarter and trap Florida inside the 10, our guy gets call offsides.
We were definitely overmatched... but the refs sure didn't help us any.

But it sure didn't help us either. The League is as crooked as a snake and has been for years. Slive will have his head of officials make a statement that it was not the proper angle and maybe they blew it. It will be the same ole crap. Two weeks in a row for the Gators so it is starting to get ridiculous. We get screwed against LSU when they don't review the 2nd and goal carry by Dixon, we get screwed on the pass against Houston alsmost a yard and a half behind the line of scrimmage, and now the Gators get a score instead of a touchback. I can't wait till Bama, it will be just as bad. Slive is gutless and all he cares about is $$$$$$$$$$$. Shame on the SEC.
they need to reprimand the officials. Same thing with Bobby Petrino from last week. If it's legit, look at it on a case by case basis. What the SEC does with their coaches critcizing the officials would be like the police giving me a ticket for turning in someone that was breaking into my house.
I think the only thing these coaches are really asking for is consistency and making the proper calls. If Florida really is the best team in the country, let them prove it on the field instead of inflating their scores to make them look better. It makes even less sense to do so when you also have an undefeated Alabama team in the same league.

where the replay crew made a terrible call. Saying the ball hit our players foot but it was clear it never did on the punt.
....since I was there, and since when I saw the ball hit the ground there, I thought "Did that hit his foot? Looked close."
What happened there, and it probably didn't make TV because it was on commercial, was that the referee called the ball down where it was downed. Then the side judge, the only one that apparently noticed it, went RUNNING up to the head referee pointing back to the spot where he thought the ball hit the player. There was some jawing between the two of them, then the head ref made the announcement and respotted the ball, at which point Mullen went apeshit and called for the challenge.
So yes, while the Sun Belt replay official confirmed it incorrectly, the call was originally made correctly, until interfered with by the side judge, whom I might add was employed by the Southeastern Conference, the gold standard in football officiating.
Also worth mentioning was that while this was going on, I was talking to an MTSU fan whose dad used to be an SEC ref and is now an NFL ref. The guy said you'd be surprised how few former SEC refs there are now in the NFL. Apparently they are not thought of well at the next level at all. He said most of them come from the Big Twelve, the Big Ten, and the Pac 10. Very few from the SEC.
