Auburn football fans revel in Alabama fans’ ref complaints after Tennessee loss
Auburn football fans are drinking Alabama Crimson Tide fan tears like the blood of Christ at mass following cries that the referees during Saturday’s 52-49 Third Saturday in October loss to Tennessee — the first such loss since 2006 when the iPhone was still not yet released — were colluding against them.
Never mind the 17 accepted penalties, which was an Alabama program record, and 37 minutes of possession time for a Nick Saban offense that remarkably matched the firepower of Heisman hopeful Hendon Hooker’s Vols scoring machine.
No, it was the referees that caused Alabama kicker Will Reichard to miss a potential game-winning field goal tied 49-49 in the fourth quarter and Tennessee kicker Chase McGrath to nail his 40-yard game-sealing kick.
Touchdown Alabama believes that Tennessee benefitted from the referees because of a supposed celebration for the Volunteers’ third touchdown in the first quarter:
Did the head referee during the Alabama/Tennessee game celebrate a Tennessee touchdown?

This prompted some Tide fans to back up that rhetoric…

There are few things more interesting than the fallout to an Alabama loss.
