potential run to the NC as they have for the Gators? Or will they be on their best behavior knowing they will be watched very closely?

Hopefully, Slive has already addressed the crew and the suspended referees taught everyone a lesson.
I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but the fact that the league office is down the street from Tuscaloosa practically..well, it worries me and always has.
Then again, we haven't lost in Tuscaloosa since '99 and should have won that game.

Great question and an easy answer........the refs will do everything possible to insure an Alabama W. Book it!

Yes, they will.
The SEC wants an undefeated, #2 ranked Alabama, against the #1 ranked, defending national champion Florida.

SLIVE should attend the game and sit in the replay box- that way if there are any questions he is held responsible

UF got the short side of the calls vs UGA. But to answer your question, Yes the refs will cheat for Bammer.

We're 7-2 against Bama this decade. I guess the refs should cheat a little harder to get the job done.

Without a doubt this will happen.
As for the bama fans coming here saying that we are already making excuses:
NO, we are not. In fact, many fans like myself believe it is the job of the head coach to prepare our team for this very scenario.
Our coaches need to prepare this team to face adversity when we have at least two big plays and possibly a score or two taken away because of bad calls. Wouldn't surprise me if an instant replay is botched in this game too.
If the coaches are smart, they will have a few plays drawn up for 1st or 2nd and 20 after we have a holding call go against us. (I expect Bama to get no holding call all game, BTW). Also need to be prepared to have one of our DBs called for a "helmet to helmet" hit on a key third down stop. That new "helmet to helmet" rule is great for refs when they need to make other calls that aren't so "obvious".
I really think LSU has a shot to win this game, but they must be prepared for this on top of a well-designed offensive game plan.
I noticed that Vegas had the line at 2 scores (8+). That, coupled with the fact that the media pundits have been saying for the past month that Bama and UF are meeting in the SECCG should tell any fan with a half a brain what is in store Saturday.
This 2009 team is going to show us what they are made of Saturday, one way or the other.

This is one perception that is hurting our conference as a whole. The teams seam to be given an advantage over another and that is taken into account when they vote the following week and then like this week if LSU should win the game they will simply say that Bama was overated and it will not help LSU at all. This nonsense has got to stop. It is just a perception and that is all it is and it is hurting our overall rating has conference. Yes it seems as though the refs are giving preferentual treatment to them but they are not because if you look at the end of the year the calls will breakout even. I have seen some calls go LSU's way also some calls that should have been made and some that should not.

Yes.

I hope so because I don't think we can win this game.

This thread is ridiculous. Next time y'all call another team's fans whiners and excuse makers, I'll bump this thread back up. These conspiracy theories are absurd.
