Another reason Vandy won is because Bama didn?t have their usual Alabama referees to swing the game for them. This was one of the most fairly refereed Bama games I?ve seen in a long time. Not completely fair, but a big improvement over their usual crap.
Gawd, I hope this thread lives Fo Evah...

Or maybe he was 70 something years old and owns Ferrari and Music city Mercedes in Nashville. That might have had a little impact on his retiring.Quote:

Or just let the games play out without obvious Bama bios with calls. Either way you lost to Vandy with all those advantages.Quote:

I agree. It's pretty obvious already that they miss Saban. That last paragraph is 100% spot on!!Quote:

saban coached to the edge of the rules and forced refs to have the balls to make the calls - see frequent PI at texas. if opposing coach was a beta like mullen and let it slide then refs let it goQuote:

You could also notice whenever Bama played outside of the SEC officiating they had higher than normal penalties against them.Quote:

Remember when Ridley, I think, ran out of bounds the ref marked it and caught the winning TD against us.Quote:

Was waiting for a flag when AJ ran that Int back/Quote:

After getting the lead, we made some mistakes that cost the game - but in typical Bama Ref fashion the OL was allowed to do everything short of murder to help get the lead back. I still need a bourbon when I think about that lost opportunity.Quote:

Nope - I actually looked it up before I wrote the post https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-...913-story.htmlQuote:

OK your memory is better than mine. But after that game, and they were happy to get out of there with a win, everyone said with that defense and it was one of the best ever, they would win the championship. And glad I took Bama when everyone took Miami.Quote:
