re: Honest question about the officiating

are you kidding? the late hit was clearly a horrible horse shite call, the fricking qb was a mother fricking yard in bounds.

All the other penalties were probably correct or at least arguable but the late hit was completely wrong and the sec should apologize for subjecting us to Ritter.

I think Ritter is far too flag happy, IMO the best officials in the game are the ones that we don't know by name. It means they are doing their job and calling things that matter and not littering the field with laundry.

eta: I don't think Ritter has it out for us, I think he is incompetent at his job considering every sec fan knows his name. He just doesn't call a good game at all. I prefer a ref that lets the horses play. My other issue with yesterday was the lopsided calls. If we are getting called for holding in questionable situations then there is absolutely no way the Cuse wasn't holding as well. Their outmanned oline was going up against a bigger faster better dline yet they didn't draw one hold. If the refs want to ref by the letter of the law than at least do it both ways.

I completely agree with this statement. It's not about LSU or any other team. There is absolutely games being controlled by officials "on the take" to cover spreads that favor their pockets (and others.). I know this as a fact.

Back story...in the 1990's I used a book in Baton Rouge that had all bets processed through an SEC official "on the take". I was told point blank not to bet any games his crew worked. It was beyond obvious when I watched the games his crew worked. I don't care who believes me....it's a fact. I don't bet college spreads anymore...no way.

That game yesterday was called to favor bets placed on Syracuse. Book it all day long. Ask most of the betters on TD where their money was placed. It wasn't on Syracuse. Figure it out folks. The big money yesterday went to the books.
