re: Fix is In?

So the ump is giving pitchers 6" off of the plate against lefties since the very first batter of the game and OSU's pitcher throws a fast ball in on lefty-batting Pap who deposits it over the right field wall.....and it is the ump's fault?

That ump's zone was horrible, especially early on. I think it actually shrunk during the middle innings, but not in the ninth.

They should be more concerned about allowing a child molester throw the whole year where coach and President of University did nothing - Folks come on man they didn't know of course they did people talk , players talk - hmm reap what you sow

If Pat Casey isn't checking into the backgrounds of the kids he's recruiting, then shame on him.

However, I don't think that's the case. I think he just chose to look the other way in the hopes it would never come out.

Ump was horrible and gave the pitchers 6" off the corner not to mention he was a hot dog. Still you adjust and take what he's giving.
The Beavers gripe about the blown call Friday is legit but they should have argued and got the review. If it's reviewed they most likely would have won and they would have moved on.

He did ask me about why Kramer Robertson gets so much publicity, and I told him that it was because he has a famous mom. That, and the fact that he moonlights on off nights as 'Lil Sweet.

In fact, he said that it's obvious that Omaha had already decided who they wanted in the finals and made sure that LSU and Florida got there, no matter what.

So why did they let Florida get to the brink of Elimination by getting clobbered by TCU friday? Same for LSU on Monday?

Your friend is a whiny idiot. Guess they know how Patriots fans and Warrior fans felt when their record-breaking seasons came to an end...oh wait, both of thise ended after losing a championship.

I guess OSU doesn't know what that feels like.

It's all true. I fixed the game by yelling balls and strikes at my TV.

Now you know how Bama fans feel when we start stupid shite like that...

Unrelateable. The no-calls on the double-holding on the TD play, the personal foul after the fumble recovery, the PP7 INT just to name a few. Any and every game against us that they don't completely control from start to finish, they are the benefactor of a major momentum-changing play.

It's not just us either. They get a lot of the same BS in most of their conference games.

When was the last time you can remember when the refs decided a controversial call in our favor.

The last one I remember was the Eric Reid interception at the goalline in 2011. The pretty much had to call it because Reid controlled it and the Bama guy didn't. They reviewed that call for at least five minutes looking for an angle they could use to justify reversing the call on the field. It just wasn't there.

I can tell you with 95% confidence that if Reid hadn't ripped the ball away as the two went to the ground, they would have ruled it a completion.

It's not just Bama either. I can think of two losses to Auburn in the past decade that were entirely decided by the refs, not the players.

OSU had a couple of bang-bamg plays go against them. So did we. They made a lot of assumptions on the foul ball call. Not only is the fair/foul very much in question (unlike ESPN announcers would have you believe), there's no way to know how many score if it is ruled fair, and what transpires the rest of the way after that.

LSU might have scored more than 3 runs if they needed to do so in order to win.

For them to go that far out on the limb and say that not getting a call (that IMO was probably the right call anyway) to go their way, they win that game is absurd.

Two of the runners on base when that play happened got there because of strikes being called balls. If they want to really be honest about it, they should have never had the bases full to begin with.

That was one game against a superior opponent. Since they'd never played one of those before LSU, they think their team was the GOAT and that the only way they could possibly lose was if the other team and/or the umps cheated.

We have over a decade worth of footage demonstrating that SEC refs have no problem raping us if we're playing a school from Alabama.

The two aren't even comparable. For an LSU fan to be in denial over the bias in football is selling the players and coaches short.

It's not just us it happens to. Any Tennessee fan can tell you they were blatantly robbed of 40-50 seconds at th3 end of their game at Florida in 2015. Auburn took notice and did the same to us in 2016.

Every fan knows the rules about when the clock stops and starts after firat dowms and runs out-of-bounds.

Yet nobody said a word while the clock continued to tick away after every LSU play that wasn't an incomplete pass. They never stopped it once on a first down or rub OOB.

If the clock operators had any integrity, there's about 30 seconds (or perhaps much more, definitely no less) when Etling completed the TD pass to Chark or Dural (whoever caught it).

Watch it on replay and see for yourself.

As an aside, I don't get the hate for Etling. He led a game-winning touchdown drive and threw what would have been the winning TD pass with under a minute to go. It's not his fault Auburn is dirty and didn't at by the rules everyone agreed upon when doing so didn't benefit them.

Etling also led a potential game-winning drive against Florida. The fact that the final play was such an abortion is on the coaches, not the quarterback.

Back to my point though, OSU fans thinking their shite don't stink and LSU fans observing a very real bias favoring two division opponents in football are not comparable in any way.

Best 25¢I ever spent.

You hit a homer from both sides your parents get on TV showing how proud they are. If your mom is a well known D1 coach she gets on TV. None of that was happening for OSU, nothing to show.

Sorry to hear about your friend's mental illness.
