Refs hating on Alcoa

[AlcoaPride2010]

the officials for the Alcoa-CAK game were some of the worst i have ever seen. facemask on the opening kick-off. defensive holding to call back a int. 35 yard penalty on Alcoa's first drive, pass interference every other incompletion. missed kick-catch interference on a hit by a cak player on a defensless returner, and so on. seems like a cak booster made a generous donation to the zebra exibit at the knoxville zoo. does anyone have an opinion on the poor officiating.

Maybe the refs have been reading these message boards....

....and are sick of it too.

Well, did they facemask and hold on the first drive, or not? If they did it should be called no matter the time in the game.

AHS2010- Be better than that. We played through it, Get over it. We had more penalties than they did, still we are good enough to overcome it, some teams are not. 10-0 next up????

Alcoa plays an agressive style on offense and defense. At home the Blount County crews let them play and are not ticky-tacky in calling fouls. This helps Alcoa. I think officials that do not see Alcoa very often just do not understand how dominate their players really are. When you see them in person, they are very agressive with their hands ecspecially of the OL and DL. On special teams, the speed of the game catches officials off guard. The Tornadoes, like or hate them are on another level.

 

Did Alcoa really expect to get any calls at CAK? The only reason the game was close was because of penalities. 15 for Alcoa 3 for CAK. I am sure in the Air Raid, they could have called holding every play.

Ron you may have been at the concessions stand for the other 6 or 7 hankies on the F-5

I hate to see Alcoa fans downs on the ref's; they did what they thought to be their best job in this game. Being a referee is alot harder than it appears to be. Even though some calls were controversial, a championship team overcomes those barriers and can still come out with a win. Our kids make mistakes and so do the officials as they are all human.

 

Adversarial calls? Yes, some were for both sides. Adapt........adjust........and come home a winner. That should be Alcoa's insight on how to win against all opponents (zebras and teams).

I thought the game was called too tight both ways. Some games are just like that?

[shootermcgavin]

most all of the calls were very easy to see from the stands. The ref's actually did call a good game in my opinion. just didn't go your way.
