It has to be a close game for the refs to become a problem. So I hope I get to bitch about the refs.

It will likely be close. And Birmingham isn’t going to risk another team out of the CFP (in case things go south with UGA)

I think we see some shite calls this weekend

Agreed. Only losers blame the refs. Refs make mistakes, but overall it all balances out.

Since we haven't beat them since 2011, we look awful if we complain about the refs.

It ain't the refs.

I'm concerned about SEC refs in every game. On top of that, I'm always more concerned when we play Bama. Above everything, I know how much pressure is on these refs to make sure we get a 1 vs 2 seccg. I clearly remember the BS penalties that kept fla from losing at home to Arkansas to get a 1 vs 2 seccg vs Bama. I'm very leery.

Both.


From ESPN:
On a day when little went right for the Gators (6-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference), Just about everything that could go wrong for the Gators did. They had four turnovers, three dropped passes, were gashed against the run and gave up more big plays in one game than they had all season. They missed a field goal and scored once in their first four trips inside the 20-yard line.

"You usually don't win that kind of game," coach Urban Meyer said.


Urban's right. Unless you are undefeated in the SEC with a shot at a BCS bowl game or a shot at the playoffs, you DO NOT win that kind of game.

The guy in white got the penalty:


USA Today - SEC officials admit mistake during Arkansas-Florida game




quote:

The SEC has notified Arkansas officials to let them know game officials made a mistake in calling a 10-yard penalty that helped Florida continue its final touchdown drive of the game in the Gators' 23-20 win on Saturday.
quote:

Hogs coach Bobby Petrino was outspoken on his Sunday TV show about officials calls in the game. Arkansas had 10 penalties for 92 yards, compared to three for 16 yards for the Gators


And then there's:

The officials certainly helped Bama last year with the "no-calls" on obvious offensive holding during Hurt's TD run.

If by some odd chance it turns out to be a close game in the 4th quarter, you can bank on Alabama getting a key call or no-call to tip the scales their way, especially since it's in Tuscaloosa this year. It happened late in the 2014 game, and also in last year's game (and those games were in Baton Rouge).

Well, when their players said "we need to restore order", some folks took it to mean for life, including the SEC office.

I think it's time to buck that trend, just hope the team plays like it is capable of.

This isn't a Bama thing. It is a MONEY thing. See the 2009 Ark-UF game.

The SEC is not going to risk losing playoff or major bowl money. Bama can go to the playoffs or the biggest bowl game available besides the playoffs. LSU's chances at either of those are not as likely. The SEC exists for MONEY, it's not about athletics, sportsmanship and honor - until after they've got the dollars in their pocket.

This...look it's alright for we as fans to get caught up in all the ref BS that's what we do....every fan base thinks the refs screwed 'em. It could be same game, same two teams playing and both fan bases are whining about the refs with equal vigor.

As long as the team does not get caught up in that kind of stuff we're fine. if the kids and coaches are talking about that the games over before it starts.

You're right.


Bama vs Ole Miss, something fell out of the ref's back pocket.

the refs are for Alabama (home team specially), but if we have more points than Alabama, it won't matter

It's also not just an SEC thing. It's a money thing. The ACC doesn't want the SEC to get all the money because they won't call games straight-up, so they don't either.

Furious Jimbo Fisher calls crucial penalty ‘cowardly garbage.’ Here’s the play and rule

Jimbo knew he was going to be fined and still said what he did. To the tune of $20,000 he sent to the ACC offices.

Can't say as I blame him. This shite looks like some Bama - LSU shite.


quote:

In the fourth quarter, the ‘Noles were leading 28-26 and had the ball. On 1st and 10, FSU fullback Freddie Stevenson was called for an illegal block that negated a huge Dalvin Cook run that ended deep in Clemson territory.

After the game, Fisher called the penalty “cowardly, gutless, and wrong.” On Sunday, the ACC announced a reprimand for Fisher, including a fine of $20,000.


Clemson had the opportunity to earn $20 million or more, FSU didn't - EASY CALL !!!
