The other calls I'm not as angry about, but the whole collection just pisses me off. It's ridiculous that we have to fight the officials as well as the other team seemingly every time we make a trip to the state of Alabama.

You know, I think I will agree. Worst replay ruling I have ever ever seen.

I can easily see how it was a very difficult call to make on the field. I still think the official had a good look and with the divot, and the lack of a bobble by Peterson, the play should have been ruled an Int. on the field to be reviewed. But ill give em a break. It was close.

The replay however was down right wrong. Just blatantly wrong. It wasnt even close on the replay. That left foot was in bounds with green between his foot and the white line. With multiple camera views I just dont see how they came up with that decision.

I wonder, how many camera views does the replay official have at his disposal. Does he see every replay we see on tv?

In all fairness - I believe that early replay in the 1st on an Alabama reception that was ruled an incomplete out of bounds was a bad call.

But after that they screwed LSU non-stop. I think they just f'ed bama on that one call to make us think they were being equally incompetent towards both sides.

The spearing was probably a call where the ref didn't want to change the game due to a judgment call.

They changed the game on a bunch of bad calls, but they don't want to change it on a correct one because it's a judgment call?

The bad spot after the running into the kicker was a difference in 2 feet.

Two feet on fourth down and a long (or short) one to go is huge.

They probably should have gone back and checked the spot, but it's not just terrible.

True, it only fundamentally changed the outcome of that possession. You know, the game-clinching possession. That's all.

The block in the back wasn't egregious.

So, hitting a guy in the back, thereby knocking him down and preventing him from making a tackle he was in position to make is fine as long as it isn't "egregious"? What the hell does it take to be egregious? Did he have to pull out a knife and stab him as well?

What's strange is how EVERY SINGLE ONE of the "questionable" calls/no calls went in favor of Alabama.

The SEC is irreparably corrupt and a fraud. It might as well be WWF. I obviously won't be watching any more SEC sports, and I think more people will come to that decision eventually as the obvious corruption continues and becomes more and more apparent.
