re: My first post glad to be here, a bit long

If you have any influence at all you should use it to get LSU admin to pressure changes at the SEC. Move it out of Alabama and to a non SEC state. Whether it's crooked or not there is an appearance of impropriety, which has begun to affect interest (I know it has mine). Also fix the refs, again whether they are crooked or not they make horrible calls and with replay and digital tv its painfully obvious. They have to do better, maybe even make it a full time job instead of having a bunch of part time stockbrokers, surely the mighty SEC can afford to pay refs year round and make them train. You need to give more btw, not in the top 50 makes you slacker.
