re: every LSU fan that hates Bama and the Bama Refs - watch this

Make sure you let me know the day MY focus on beating Bama actually results in LSU beating Bama because I will need to start applying for coaching openings if that's the case.

You act as though we cannot point out obvious factual evidence of officiating bias. If something becomes a pattern then it is capable of becoming the norm

every single team in the country can point out numerous calls in every single game that are terribly wrong. But attributing them to "referee bias" is a big stretch, considering different refs officiate games throughout the season. For this conspiracy to be true, it would need to include many different referees from many different states. It's just plain silly.

Does Bama get a few favorable calls? Maybe. But so do we, if you look back at every game with a fine tooth comb. Hell, one that jumps out to me is Devin White's clear facemask-to-facemask contact on Stidham on a 3rd and long blitz in the second half of the Auburn game. It wasn't vicious, but was a clear penalty --- but not called. Bad no-call, but I doubt it's LSU bias by the ref.

But what makes it look especially bad is that this board is claiming bias for a team we haven't beat since 2011. It makes it look like sour grapes.

fine.

Now tell me why this is ok.

which would come out of the mouth of Alabama alumnus, and SEC Head of Officials, Steve Shaw...right? Guy might be the greatest, most honorable man to have ever walked the planet...but the fact that we're part of a league that allows that potential level of the appearance of impropriety is kind of all you need to know.

In an organization as large and profitable as the SEC, why would it seem like a good idea to allow alumni of the member universities to be in high profile positions where IF THERE WAS ANY BIAS TO BE HAD they could bow to it with almost no oversight? What we have is a situation where one member university seems to have more inside influence than all others...and instead of everyone involved demanding crystal clear accountability, we actually have fans so afraid of being called scared they'd rather keep quiet than make SURE everything is, always has been, and will remain above board.

so no alums of the 14 schools can work for the SEC. What about if they grew up in one of the states? What if they grew up a fan of a school but actually went to college at a small non-member school? What about spouses that are alums of member schools? Parents? Children? Did any family member work for a member school?

You see the absurdity, right?

You honestly think this makes sense?

I bet you are the type that would tell your daughter to tough it out if she got raped, it was her fault and she could have done more to stop it.

By all means, dont tell anyone or the police, as it would bring unwanted attention to us, and embarrass the family...



You're a real tough guy. Corruption is what it is. It isnt always conspiracy, or out right complaining. Football and officials arent perfect, but in the law of averages it should even out.

Don't attack the people who are intelligent and bold enough to call a spade - a spade. You are just the ignorant peasant that cannot bear to think about a life larger than plowing the indentured land you live on and paying the tithe

I don't necessarily think that there is any sort of organized conspiracy for Bama.

But dude, that no-call on Ridley is bad. And not like "Oh, in my opinion that was a bad call" bad. But egregiously and insultingly bad.

Ridley's penalty (or lack of, I should say) wasn't based on a judgement call like a holding penalty.

He either stepped out-of-bounds or he didn't. It's black-and-white. The ref threw his hat, acknowledging he did indeed step out of bounds, indicating the receiver is potentially ineligible.

That there was no discussion after the play to determine Ridley's eligibility as a receiver is an insult to the integrity of the game. shite, it shouldn't even have warranted a discussion. It was blatantly obvious that he wasn't forced out-of-bounds .

LOL. yea they some cheating SOB's no doubt

every LSU fan that hates Bama and the Bama Refs - watch this by DontCare It gets more and more unbelievable every time I see it. I mean, has anyone ever seen this sort of obvious impropriety from refs anywhere else, save the refs of the USSR vs. USA Olympic gold medal basketball game?

The fact that 1-9-12 happened is worse.....and the Roy Jones Jr Olympic fight is pretty dame close

I agree with roy jones but yall chocked 0n 1-9-12. All you had to do is win. If yall really was the better team yall would have won. Only reason yall were there was because of missed field goals by bama. Losing HURTS!
