However, the SEC offices in Alabama argument is stupid.

Really now. It's just stupid to believe that the offices located in the middle of Bammer/Barner country wouldn't affect the mindset of officiating.

Think about the corporate world, doesn't the location of companies have an effect on who gets hired, who gets promoted, who gets an outsourced contract? So, you think the SEC office is completely immune to locational bias. If so, you're very naive.

And by the way, think back when everyone near Baton Rouge was so up in arms about the BS replay booth ruling on PP's interception, or the 2006 Auburn fiasco. How would that have been handled if the SEC offices were in New Orleans? I assure you we wouldn't have been given "quit bothering me" pass off excuses like we were given because you'd start off with a mob scene on Poydras or wherever the SEC headquarters was located. Then every time the management people from the SEC office ventured out for lunch, church, etc., they'd feel the wrath of the community. Not saying it's right, just saying the way it would be.

And the Bammers and Barners are no nobler. Why do you think Bama got a formal apology from the SEC when they didn't get a PI call on Corey Webster in 2004, but LSU and Arkansas just gets BS? If they put out a BS excuse like they give us right in the middle of Alabama, I assure you their life would be much less pleasant.

You can run whatever stats you want to run, but I've been watching SEC football for over 40 years, Bammer has always gotten the calls. And now both Bammer and the Barn blatantly use the replay booth to cheat, yet the SEC office is "ball-less" to do anything about it because they don't want to be on the outs with their neighbors.
