I just love the comments below. They need some cheese to go with that whine.
"I disagree
Kiffin should be charged with inciting a riot!"
"Dear Commissioner Sankey,
This incident had very little to do with alcohol. It might be easy to brush it off as so, but the truth lies in officiating. The call on the field may have been right, but the root cause analysis should look beyond that. Neither the alcohol or that 1 specific call are the reason for this behavior. Perhaps looking at all of the flopping that went on in the game enabling this play to get to fourth down and providing the ability to substitute freely should be examined. I understand that players get hurt, but 5 plays in a row? 11 times in one quarter? This game should be ruled a no contest. The integrity of the game is at stake and trying to push this off on alcohol will only create a greater divide. Look for the root cause."
"Gregg sankey is a crook. Thru and thru. People pay hard earned money to go to these sporting events, some use their last dollars to take their kid, and sankey has these officials cheating to further advance the better ranked teams. How can I say it's cheating? Because if it were simply mistakes the officials would be reprimanded, but they are not…this means sankey is embezzling hundreds of millions of dollars since these people are expecting a clean, fair contest. But rather the winners are pretty much predetermined."
"Ole Miss never flopped the following week against LSU. They were laughing as they came off the field. Kiffen again made a mockery of TN and SEC so be it. What goes around, comes around. Except for Vols getting any justified calls from officials. Perhaps some day."
"What created all of this was the refs making bad calls and all the fake injuries that was played out by Ole Miss. Both of these could have been talked about and something done to prevent such incidents to continue. But no as it turns out. Tennessee fans made themselves the bad guy by throwing objects onto the field and a golf ball hitting Kiffin in the arm and the result was a. $250,000 dollar fined, finding and suspending all involved and reviewing all alcohol requirements before the 13th of November game against Georgia or lose the alcohol license. Quite frankly you can place the blame on Kiffin and the refs and because they were trying to protect a qb's chance at the Heisman. I strongly recommend that the SEC do a thorough review and either implement or have rules changes regarding of what went on in Knoxville and at all future SEC games."
