Seems to me that our Dawgs are ALWAYS playing against the other team AND the officials!!!!!!Guys.....LA Tech fans have so many more officiating calls to complain about yesterday, other than this silly event. I honestly felt like this may have been the worst officiated Tech game since @Arkansas 1997. Tech was flagged for 3 TIMES our season average yesterday. (10 for 95 yds) Yes, we got jobbed at UAB. For example, the "targeting" call against Cooper was absurd. The UAB receiver had already made the catch, had initiated contact with another Tech player and had already run the ball 5 yards down field before Cooper's contact was even made. Since when is a player not allowed to make a hard tackle? The Personal Foul call on McKnight after the TD run was equally ridiculous. There were others, of course.
UAB's CB's and DB's were holding (our WR's) and interfering with our WR's all day, but to my recollection we only benefited from one call. There was more physical contact by the UAB DB's DOWN FIELD than I've ever seen in a college game.
By the way, one other thing that really irritated the heck out of me yesterday.....the UAB Video Board operator played the board very loudly EVERY TIME Tech had the ball on offense, right up until the QB count started on each play. And I mean it was LOUD! It was almost impossible to talk to the person sitting beside me. The UAB video board literally became part of the game. There was no band play until timeouts, and other breaks in action (play reviews, etc...). This was a coordinated effort between the band, the video board operator and the team. I promise you, UAB choreographed this! Screaming and yelling at the field when Tech had the ball was futile, because the video was so loud.
