Did anyone think officiating crew against Auburn was terrible. They also seemed very suspicious in helping Auburn the best they could. Example 1: After the Auburn onside kick, the officials hurried to place the ball that way their would be no review. Example 2: The touchdown run if I'm not mistaken by Hill that was called back for a terrible holding call right next to the Auburn sideline, the Auburn player actually tried to shed the block and ended up pulling I think it was Landry down. Example 3: Jarvis Landry TD Catch, this was the most obvious, there was a face mask, and Landry never touched the ground, I don't know if this was unreviewable, but that was awful. Example 4: Beckam Jr. Pass interference, he was not within 5 yards of anyone in the first place, and secondly it looked like the official threw the flag being scared he was going to catch it inbounds. Also the officials were always talking to auburn coaches.

There were some bad calls on both sides. The PI call on them, we had an OL downfield. We were fortunate on the onside kick call.

You are incredibly wrong about this one. Both the top of his helmet, and his elbow (entire forearm) were down. It wasn't even close. He was down.

Regarding the holding, it was on another Landry TD, and it was total BS.

OBJs PI was pretty nitpicky. I couldn't see that being called.

The AU onsides kick was MUCH closer than the Landry being down call, but they got it right too.

Oh, and the officials were always talking to Les.

Auburn definitely pays officials but you're not supposed to talk about it on the internet because you will look crazy.

Move on, save it for next year when we play in Auburn where we are 0-100 in important calls.

there was a slight shove at the end that was probably unnecessary.

That's his job to spot the ball. The play was reviewed, and it was very close, but they actually overturned it.

It was a Landry bubble screen, and either Boone or Wright was the blocker. I agree that it was a bad call, but nothing suspicious. (Watching the replay last night, this may have been the most animated that I have ever seen Les argue a call)

First of all, his helmet hit the ground making him down. Secondly, even if he was not down, once the ref blows the whistle, the play stops. There is nothing to review since the whistle was blown to mark him down at the 8 yd line.

Beckam Jr. Pass interference, he was not within 5 yards of anyone in the first place, and secondly it looked like the official threw the flag being scared he was going to catch it inbounds.


I had a great view of Beckham's route. I was watching him most of the way, and the push off happened earlier in the route, not at the tail end. He did push off.

If there's one thing in life that's universal where ever there is large amounts of money involved, it's corruption....it's about the point spread, dude...and I don't give one fat f---what anyone says, it's there right in front for all to see...from the dirty money in recruiting all the way up to the top of the pecking order! It's sad to say, but I'll still support college sports in spite of it because it's good for Louisiana and its people.

This was Tom Ritter's crew. He absolutely has the worst crew in the SEC. His crew handled the 2006 LSU-Auburn game where the unsportsmanlike call was made at the end of the game for Ronnie Prude trying to block the extra point. Tom Ritter is a horrible individual and I hope he gets the clap.

Tom Ritter crew. Nothing suspicious. Just incompetence. Every single game his crew handles is a mess no matter what teams are playing.

I just looked at it all as the refs just trying to keep the game closer than it was.


What pissed me off more than anything was the onside kick. From the replay, it was MORE than clear that the kicker touched the ball before the 10 yards. The guys in the replay truck kept showing the stop-motion picture where the kicker was reaching back and touching the ball before the 10 yards. Yet, despite this, Brad Nessler kept insisting that the kicker didn't touch the ball.

It was almost like the guys in the replay truck were trying to say, "HEY F-CKFACE, we keep showing you PROOF that he touched the ball prior to the 10 yard marker -- OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. So, quit making a complete arse of yourself."

But, Nessler kept insisting that the ball had traveled the requisite 10 yards.

all failure. come back after T-town and you may have valid points.

i liked the fact that they basically let the olines play--i don't remember many if any holding calls on linemen. to me that call is the most susceptible to bias and inconsistent calling because you can arguably find holding on pretty much any play.
