Is it that time of the month up in the Volunteer State?
Seriously, people … a day after University of Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin was reprimanded for complaining about the officiating in the Volunteers 12-10 loss to Alabama, Vanderbilt head coach (and Columbia S.C. native) Bobby Johnson decided to hold a bitchfest of his own across the state in Nashville.
Johnson accused officials of blowing the call on a first half touchdown reception by University of South Carolina wide receiver D.L. Moore.
“I’m not saying anybody’s doing anything subversive or anything like that, (but) in my opinion (Moore’s) foot clearly was on the line after he bobbled the ball,” Johnson said. “After he had possession, his left foot was in the air, his right foot was on the line.”
Whatever.
The call on the field was a touchdown, which was upheld after a video review did not provide sufficient evidence to overturn it. Carolina went on to win the game 14-10.
“I don’t know what kind of evidence you need for those overrules,” Johnson said. “But to me, that was fairly clear.”
With a combined record of 5-10 (1-8 SEC), we don’t blame either coach for being mad about losing close games, but blaming the officials is weak – especially in Johnson’s case.
We get it, coach. You lost to South Carolina. It’s humiliating … but for the sake of your team it’s time to “sac up” and flush out whatever remaining sand you may have in your vagina.
Alright, alright … that was rude.
Speaking of which, we’re sorry about that whole “time of the month” joke, too. Clearly, Kiffin just needs a diaper change while Johnson needs someone to change his Depends.
Anyway, for USC it’s one whiny Tennessee coach down, one to go …

What does it matter? Say they called it incomplete, then we would not have kicked off and Vandy would not have returned the kick for a TD. The result would have been the same – a tie score.

you got to admit, Kiffin makes the SEC interesting among the likes of Spurrier, Myer, Richt, and Sabon. THose four will bore you to death during a press conference.

You have to admit that the SEC officials have become like the South Carolina Supreme Court: they are going to protect their own chosen ones.

I’m disappointed in Bobby. He’s usually a class act. Guess he’s got to compete with Lane for the press somehow.
And the vagina line was fine, FITS.

Why does everyone say Johnson is a class act? Because he looks clean-cut? Pretty much every time he opens his mouth he comes across as a complete dick.

@ Hammerhead,
Obviously, you’ve never paid attention to Spurrier’s comments and press conferences if you think he falls in line with those three. Who do you think stirred the pot for the entire decade of the 90′s and blew up the preseason media conference with his All-SEC pick?
And by the way, it’s spelled “Saban”.

I say he’s a class-act because I know him personally having played for him for 4 years. He’s a brilliant coach who teaches the game of football to his players not just how to play one position. Most coaches aren’t skilled or interested enough to do that. Of course he has been able to work with players who possess comprehension skills much higher than what you see around the vast majority of the SEC (Furman and Vandy).

I felt a little bad for Vandy because that was a bad call…but there are always bad calls and you have to fight past them to be a good team.
SC has improved and maybe can get something together with one more season of recruits.
They would be at least one win shorter this year without Alshon Jeffery.He is an amazingly good reciever
