But guys we are just whining lsu fans. No way there is a bama bias /s

Aman•102 months

You are just whining. LSU fans cry after every Bama game about missed calls or calls against them. None of it based on merit, but rather a want to find a reason other than Saban is just your daddy. But that is just it. Saban is your daddy and poor LSU can't stand it.

alextilley23•102 months

go big ed

DoubleDown•102 months

Uhm, didn't Bama get 6 penalties and LSU only had 3? This makes Coach O look whiny.

Tigers4Lyfe•102 months

No it doesn't. It's not the count that is important so much as the nature.

JOHNN•102 months

Id venture to say that two of the plays had to be the questionable late hit penalty and also the no holding call on the touchdown that was plain as day.

Bayoubengal205•102 months

When Jalen Hurts ran for a touchdown, Lewis Neal was held in the backfield. If he wasn't held he would have almost definitely tackled him in the backfield. And there is no argument that he was held.

The SEC should ask for an explanation regarding his non-competitive offense.

rpg37•102 months

The only questions I have are the lack of intentional grounding on Alabama in the second quarter (which is completely overlooked IMO) and the lack of holding penalty on the Tide's touchdown. The personal foul fiasco was just fluky, but I think we all knew they would offset...although, how three personal fouls offsets one is beyond me.

A1tiger•102 months

Take away the touchdown. Does losing 3-0 feel better for some reason? He should stop wasting time like he did for the last two weeks. We have to score a point to win a game.

Tigah n T-town•102 months

If we get a PF on that sideline play and advance 15 yds and kick a field goal to go up 3-0 in late 3rd the whole game might have changed. Plus the guy shoulda been chunked out of the game for targeting. The 3 holds on the Bama td puts them out of fg range more than likely.

earl keese•102 months

Regarding the personal foul fiasco, it amazes me that an alabama player can completely destroy a Tiger player with a dirty hit in the back (before any of the shite that happened on the sideline even started) and the Refs call offsetting penalties. A couple years ago, LSU has the ball inside the ten yard line with a minute or so to go in the game, players from both teams are pushing and shoving each other, yet the only penalty is on a LSU lineman. Both of these instances hurt LSU, not bama. And there are people on here questioning if bama gets special treatment. LOL!

FournetteForEver7•102 months

You go get em Bebe!

Tigah n T-town•102 months

Not to mention number 10 cheap shot late hit on Etling

LC412000•102 months

I still think this was the BIGGEST play in the game. The LSU QB was out of sorts the rest of the game and #10 got confidence he could do whatever he wanted and would not be penalized for it

Sofa King Crimson•102 months

hahaha. LSU gonna mess around and lose to UA two weeks in a row.

Dick Jackman•102 months

Main thing that happened was you lost yet again.

Ignatius J. Reilly•102 months

It's a pretty simple explanation for the no-calls, Coach. You were playing Alabama.

I am GLORIOUS•102 months

The refs aren't what lost us the game. Coach O and his staff (other than Aranda) we're outmatched, plain and simple. No need to be a sore loser about it.

LC412000•102 months

So the defensive line coach, linebacker coach and defensive backs coach were outmatched, plain and simple?

kjanchild•102 months

I thought it was funny how the referee on their sideline spotted the ball and then moved it an extra yard after being yelled at!

LC412000•102 months

You are correct. This did happen. Anyone who was in the stadium while those watching on TV missed it. The play happened right in front of Coach Saban who gave the official an ear full and then the official moves the ball up. I thought he moved it about a yard and a half, making the third down become 3rd and 1 instead of 3rd and 3

TigerOnThe Hill•102 months

Oh, we saw it on tv, as well. Interesting how the announcers made no mention of it.....

SomeLSUguy•102 months

The same ref that threw a flag for a PF on a late hit against LSU, but when the bama defender threw our receiver to the ground well after he was out of bounds did not throw a flag...

Aman•102 months

I'm sure he doesn't send things in after his team beats convincingly against three bad teams. When you finally play a team better than you the crying starts. Hope he included the bogus block in the back on the punt return and phantom false start that potentially cost Bama 4 points late in the game.

Kid nice•102 months

How did it cost them 4 points? Two safeties?

Aman•102 months

7-3 = 4. It really isn't that hard to understand.

TigerFanDan•102 months

Don't know about false start but block in the back did happen.

Bige11•102 months

There are two good points that are being made. BOTH are true. 1. Yes the offense should have done more and they have no one to blame for but themselves. 2. We are driving deep in bama territory and somehow a bama guy assaults our player, 2 others go in with him, and no one retaliated and and then offsetting, costing us at least 3 points. Then bama gets the ball and on third down we stop them but they call a bs roughing call. Those two calls changed the outcome. When a game is that close, those things matter.

Aman•102 months

The "bs" roughing call you refer to was on 2nd down. Cry if you like, but at least have your details right.

BILLFISHER22•102 months

Aman, go back to your side. This is not a one time deal. This shite has happened for years. Remember PP's interception? We got beat by a better team....yes. But, let's call a spade a spade.....O is putting them in check and wanting an explanation. Right or wrong he's entitled to get such, being the head coach of the team affected. Call it crying or whatever you wish.

Bige11•102 months

Ok second down. And yes it was total bs. And yes it changed the game.

RedPop4•102 months

Here's the thing, in my estimation. Coach Miles tried hard to be above all of this and wanted to win or lose with "class." That's fine. I like it, I'd like for LSU to always be able to take the high road. But after 12 years of it, he came across as soft and just took whatever was dealt. With this announcement, Coach Orgeron, knowing the outcome already, again in my view, is saying, LSU is not just going to go by quietly, offensive realities notwithstanding. LSU is going to fight for everything it can fight for, poor OL and scared Etling or not. It's another way of putting Birmingham on notice that LSU is watching and is going to comment on their business-as-usual with regard to officiating and deciding issues in accordance with what their favored schools want.

CubsFanBudMan•102 months

Miles sent in plays to the SEC office almost every week. It's what most coaches do.

earl keese•102 months

I agree RedPop4, I was always a big Miles supporter, and I don't know what kind of actions he ever took the week after some of these bama games regarding questionable calls, but it's great to see Coach Orgeron attempt to get some of this explained.

Bige11•102 months

But if like many are suggesting it was a split decision decided by two penalties, then I'm ok with. Split decision always goes to the champ. Time we beat them gumps sound.

jpcajun•102 months

Should have had an intentional grounding while in the endzone on Bama... That would have give us 2 points and I think a boost of motivation on offense. That was a BS no call, but doesnt surprise me

BamaDan62•102 months

okay, you can have the 2 pts. 10 - 2, you still get crushed by a much better Alabama team.

NFLU7•102 months

Had not realized an 8 point loss was crushed.

TigerSpray•102 months

Bama don't explain cheatin'

crimson crazy•102 months

These tiger tears are richer than cheesecake.

OceanMan•102 months

Is the cheesecake really the richest thing your redneck palate has ever encountered?

Who likes cheese cake??? It's pecan pie or Doberge cake dude
