Why are Louisiana sports teams are at the center of controversy that results in rule change considerations?

Not to mention the several calls in the TAMU game

You don't think there are calls that happen in numerous other games that bring forth questions of changes needed?
You just follow those teams closer, so you hear about it more. And if you hear about the others, you don't really care as much.

They aren't. People from Louisiana have this false mindset that the world revolves around them. It's truly baffling.

While this is true:
- The Saints call is easily the most notorious call of the NFL season
- The TAMU game is easily the wildest game of the college football season
- The Kentucky call has them talking rule changes and is one of the more controversial of the year

Hold that tiger.....that may be true but to fans of the same teams in such a short amount of time?

There's a lot of truth to this. My mother and her side of the family are from South Louisiana. Myself and my father's side of the family are all from Memphis and West Tennessee. It's amazing how different our perspectives are watching the same games. Without fail after every game (win or lose), the first comment out of my mother's mouth, or anyone in her family, is something about the refs and how they're out to get LSU. It's quite amazing. I don't want to say it's a cultural thing, but maybe it is

Of this season, sure. Remember the Dez Bryant catch/no catch in the playoffs a few years back? Same with the Steelers weird catch/fumble thing last season (although, that wasn't in the playoffs). That's just two right off the top of my head that were widely discussed and brought forth discussion of changes needed.
If you follow a lot of sports, you see this all over the place. Some people on here seem to live in a bubble though, and think only bad things happen to LSU/Saints.

The same can be said about every single fan base. Big fans of a team see things through a different set of glasses. If you are watching the same LSU game with your mom, and she's a bigger fan than you, she will be more emotionally involved.

The Kentucky game will all but be forgotten by most except LSU and Kentucky fans in a couple weeks. No one is going to continue to discuss an inconsequential regular season basketball game. And I wouldn't even go as far as calling it one of the most controversial of the year either. There have been thousands of games played this season. It's just the most recent and most memorable for LSU and Kentucky fans.

The thing is, we're all LSU fans, me being, by far, the biggest. I've always been much more invested in LSU than anyone else in my family outside maybe my mother's parents, but my grandmother is no longer with us and my grandfather is 91 and he isn't all "there" anymore.

Wouldn't you agree the Peterson interception in Bama should have been over turned?
I'm not one to blame things on the refs. The aTm game, for instances, but if you follow a team enough you are bound to feel screwed over, and get the benefit of plenty of calls. Some people just can't think rationally about the team they pull for. That's with every fan base though.

We’re excited. It will be a top 5 matchup. They had a heartbreaker last night and to tell you the truth I’m on the competition and rules committee and that’s a rule we’ll get fixed this summer. A key play like that that was obviously a goaltend in the last two minutes has to be reviewable. Just like John (Calipari) said after the game you can’t take anything away from LSU, but it’s something we’ll get fixed to where they can look at it. You hate to see them be able to see their mistake at the monitor and not be able to change it. It’s got to be fixed. But hopefully we can stay in the game up there Saturday night and play well, we’ll have to play a lot better in some areas than we did tonight.

While you are correct, here, the Saints' no-call, especially is more than ironic, because NFL officials have been directed (I guess) to pay close attention to the two very infractions in that play: defensive P.I. and even the most incidental helmet-to-helmet contact by a defensive player. That both were totally ignored and the timing of the play, combined with the national audience makes it all so frustrating to Saints' fans, especially.
And now, just a couple threads away is the one that mentions SEC is already taking a look at revising the replay review rules for end-of-game situations since it harmed U.K. Many here are convinced that SEC administration tends to try to help certain teams more than others. This certainly is another instance where that can be inferred.

I don't disagree. Just saying it doesn't ONLY happen to teams from Louisiana. The Saints were just on the most recent receiving end of one of the biggest blown calls you will find.

Has it been two weeks since the play happened or did Rick Barnes comment on it the day after our game?

That's one game. These ref conspiracies/complaints happen every single game.
And I don't expect any Louisiana natives to think they're any different from anyone else in that regard.

It is a fan thing and not so much LSU, if you are referring to football then I assume you are talking about the most recent LSU vs. Texas A&M contest.
Even intelligent fair A&M fans admit the win came with the calls or no calls favoring A&M.
That game was poorly officiated and LSU was handed a win against Kentucky this past week with a possible no call.
That is sports and when you lose a game over a tight call most fans will complain.
Not so sure what you mean as a cultural thing and maybe you are referring to the cajun culture

The world does revolve around us. Think about it. If you stand still, the earth is still rotating.....duh

Just follow teams the week before they play Alabama and also during their game with BAMA.
