    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.
    Seems to me that our Dawgs are ALWAYS playing against the other team AND the officials!!!!!!

    Re: We deserved to lose, but...

    Just read where the guy who blocked the kick holds his high school's record with a high jump of 6'8. When you're 6'7 and can jump like that, it's no surprise he blocked it. I won't put it on Barnes. But I hope Holtz quits trying to win all our close games in the same way.
    Have you considered those Dogs?

    What do you mean you "won't put it on Barnes"? How many kicks has this tall guy blocked? .....Yep......that's what I thought.

    I mean he's really tall and can jump really high.

    So why hasn't he blocked any kicks before now?

    Maybe because the rest of the coaches were smart enough to beat them with touchdowns?

    I'll save you the embarrassment. The UAB kid hasn't blocked any other kicks because even though he's tall, THIS PARTICULAR KICK WAS TOO LOW!!. The other kicks weren't. That's on Barnes. Barnes acted like a total psycho on Saturday. I honestly don't remember ever watching a Tech game that had a kicker miss 2 PAT's and a really short 29-yd FG like that. (That FG attempt was shorter than an NFL PAT, which is equivalent to about a 32-yd kick.)

    I really didn't compare the trajectory of this particular kick with his other kicks so I'll trust you on that one.

    Do you think the NFL doesn't have tall guys too? Of course they do. But the NFL kickers know that the trajectory of their kicks has to be higher.

    True, but that 2 steps and leap is illegal in the NFL. At any rate, Barnes was not good on Saturday, we agree on that. There is a fine line b/t confidence and presumption.

    Barnes was having a bad day. It was obvious. We should not have banked everything on him to win the game when we had plenty of time to try to score the TD.

    Re: We deserved to lose, but...

    We know based on COYHCSH past and his most recent statements about Barnes that once we got in FG Range (IMO that was inside the 35) he planned on the FG attempt.

    That's really sad, but had somebody turned the ball over once we got inside the 20 the armchairs would have been going even more nuts.

    We all knew who COYCHSH was when his contract was renewed. Most of the complaints were, "what took so long?" I was one of 'em.

    Good point. Yes, we would have.
