Just looking at the radar for Birmingham area, it looks as though they may get a break in the rain until about 6 pm local time. Then some real heavy stuff should roll in.

How is that not a crack back block? Blocking back toward his own goal line, the very definition. That said , I’m glad it wasn’t called, but there is no consistency to refs. I know , we already know that, but there was a crack back block similiar to this that cost us a TD earlier in the year.

It looked bad because the player was off balance and slammed to the ground. It was a dangerous and unnecessary play, but legal.

It violated the spirit of the rule, not the rule itself.

This is a great match up Vandy has always been the Georgia Tech of The SEC & vice versa

 

[CB4]

About turn into the “Swim for Life Bowl” in the next 45 minutes or so.

 

[bamaga]

Tech got hosed on that call

 

[CB4]

Terrible non call on kick catch interference.

Haynes king is like a WWE wrestler, knocked out but somehow comes back for the next series and looks like Superman.

Not sure but King was hunched over walking off the field.like he got hit in the family reproduction center.

He’s tough. A couple of times against Georgia I thought he was out, but limped back for the next play.

 

[bamaga]

[92tide]

georgia tech is getting hosed by the refs

 

[CB4]

Wow…getting ugly.

 

[bamaga]

Too bad its getting so chippy, this has been a fun game

 

[Rocky Mtn Bob]

Is there a history of animosity between these two teams I haven't been aware of?

 

[bamaga]

Did I see a Tennessee fan in the stands? Are they taking over Birmingham too?
