We actually beat you today the refs just handed you the game

This is such a loser mentality from fans.

Sure it's the refs fault TN scored 0 points in 2 qts. Refs fault the defense gave up 13 point lead. Refs fault TN defense left a guy wide open for a 40yd score right after half. Refs fault Milton fumbled and had it returned for a TN. Just makes no sense to me when fan bases (not limited to TN fans and include AL fans) go this route. Each team has AMPLE opportunities to win and lose games and refs like all humans miss calls and have bad calls for both teams. This whole delusion that refs have it out for team A and are always in favor for team B is just so stupid to me.

Even last year when bama got a lot of calls against them and calls missed that would have helped them it's not the refs fault they lost. It's the defenses fault for not getting stops and the offense fault for not scoring more period

I see it all the time with fans blaming refs, but the most I see doing it are TN fans. I root against TN in everything because of their obnoxious fan base. I have some friends and people I know that have some sense about it and don't blame refs and aren't naive that TN isn't a playoff contender. But I know lots that have always blamed the officials when they lose and having to hear "wait til next year" and "we're rebuilding" for the past 20 plus years. All the excuses make me want to see them lose every game. But hey the fans are happy with a bowl game every year so they are happy being mediocre.
 
Bama would have likely won even if the game were called correctly but it does not change the fact that the game was miscalled. The head ref is a resident of Tuscaloosa, sales real estate there and on his Facebook page his grandkid has on an Alabama shirt. That is also facts.

You can't honestly believe all this right? And there is no likely about it the game deciding plays had zero to do with refs.

Holding can be called on both teams all the time same with PI. I mean good lord how can this be people's thought process. I have to ref my daughters middle school volleyball games all the time and I call it fair even though my kid plays for on side. No it's not apples to apples but you are judging a PROFESSIONAL referees character and you have not met him in your life and don't know anyone that has. You read it on the internet so it must be true he is a liar and piece of garbage.
 
And to be clear I'm not saying there were not missed calls or bad calls. There are in every game. I can find holding calls on TN that were not called or shots to the head but in the end what does it matter. There will ALWAYS be missed or bad calls it's been that way for 100yrs.

And to also add it seems people were totally fine with missed calls last year when it went a different direction but then call foul when it seems it wasn't as favorable this time. Can't have it both ways

And one more cause you peaked my interest so I wanted to check those "facts"

Seems it's pretty easy to find that rumor that the ref is an agent in Alabama is totally false lol. The ref Len Williams lives in Tampa and doesn't look anything like the "agent" in bama. So please check your "facts" before claiming them as such
 
I did look it up. Just like anything else, i can only go by what i see and find. Regardless the reffing did not cost tennessee but the reffing was crap. They should be fired. Congrats to Bama for making adjustments and winning the second half.

It must be tough being a wildcat fan. You're next 😝

Little wager this year? You get us on your home turf

Then you didn't look it up, it's pretty easy to find it's not the same guy but that ruins some wild conspiracy theory floating out there.

I will agree there were definitely some missed calls in that game

I thought you said his name was Len? Which is it?

That's my fault. Was driving and typing (I know, a no no but was at a red light lol) and didn't notice it auto corrected to something totally different
 
also found this. Hahah I bet that guy hates football season

From FaceBook:
quote:

So my dad gets angry calls/messages every year during football season because people think he is Ken Williamson, the college football referee. I guess they Google him and find his contact information. My dad gets a chuckle out of it, but this year I've had enough of sore loser Tennessee fans spreading false information on social media and everywhere else…

Sorry your team lost, guys. But how can a football referee who resides in Tampa, Florida also live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama as a real estate associate? I know this is difficult to understand, so think really hard and maybe it will make sense.

These are two totally different men who don't even know each other. They just happen to have the same name. I should know, the real estate dude is my dad, who hasn't been to a Bama game in decades

I realize you want there to be a referee conflict of interest so you can feel better about your loss tonight, but you're just going to have to accept defeat and move on. Thank y'all for reminding us why some of y'all make up such a delightful fan base. Stay classy, Tennessee and Roll Tide .

I was talking to an Alabama fan about this yesterday. I hope he remembers what I said (the same thing you say here) but I have my doubts. He went on and on about how refs always miss calls both ways, but then but there was this time and this time when they missed a call that cost Alabama a game. This phenomenon is not relegated to just one team, but is rampant among them all. Well, UK basketball fans are the worst.
 
And didn't you know the head referee is the only one with a flag. The other refs on the field have to do what he says…….🤦🏻‍♂️
