I misspoke there actually. I bought it in 2009, after the P7 INT game vs bama. because it wasn't just that one INT, the game was flat out stolen. by the SEC. for bama. and it wasnt just about losing, it was about the literal safety of our players.

the game started with Jordan getting a textbook spear in the chest that knocked him out of the game, all while ritter stood there with a clear and direct view. no flag.

ritter would later have a clear and direct view of P7s INT. "no catch".

despite this (and at least one more obvious fixed call Ill update with here in a second, one thats even worse than these) it was still a 6 point game in the 4th.

here, bama fair catches a punt on their 46.

1st and 10 on the 46.

ingram carried twice for almost nothing, setting up this 3rd and 6 from roughly the 49

greg (#12) keeps it, goes down exactly on the 50

they punt. ball is on the 50.

we rough the punter. 5 yard penalty. ball will now be on the 45.

oh, wait, no, sorry, i forgot, this is bama, so that 5 yard penalty is now good for 5 and 9/10ths.

CBS even correctly changed their graphic from "4th and 6" (the picture above) to "4th and inches" (the picture below). that cannot happen on a 5 yard penalty, it simply cant.

bama had JUST run the ball 3 times, twice with a heisman winner, and got 4 yards. going for it on 4th and 1 was no sure thing. and then, as if by magic, it suddenly wasnt 4th and 1 anymore. somehow.

And do you honestly believe the SEC makes these decisions consciously in order to inhibit LSU?

ALL of these things dont just happen, in one game, benefiting one side, every time, by chance or incompetence. these people know what theyre doing, and what theyre doing is cheating. for bama.

heres another run by Greg that same year (a title year, mind you, this was 2007, sabans first NC at bama), this time vs Auburn.

watch what the ref does.

he marks the spot with his left foot, but this play was a sneak, where every inch counts, so he goes ahead and changes the spot to his right foot, just to be sure.

and that was back when the refs at least had the decency to pretend. they dont even bother anymore, this fricking guy literally just stared at the flag to see where bama needed to get and then put the ball there
