All the national attention is going to have all the viewers at home keep an eye on the refs, which is a good thing. They have to call a clean game now.

I always said we would win if we didn't have to fight Bama and the refs...this may well be our year to shine without interference.

Dude they don't care... I wouldn't be surprised if they call a more obvious game in Bama's favor just to show everyone, who's in charge here.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. They will probably be looking at LSU even harder now. That's the thing a ref only has two eyes but can't look in two places at once. He can only focus in one area and I'll bet that these Refs always tend to look in the opposing teams direction and not Bama's. Especially on big momentum swing plays.

It's obvious that this is what happens. I've seen them routinely spot LSU short and give half a yard or inches to Bama during a game. This game is a game of inches so yes it does matter.

There has always been biased officiating for certain programs, especially programs that bring in money for the NCAA. It's not just Sabama, it's programs like Duke basketball that signed one of the key players mentioned in court regarding the Dawkins federal case Wade was mentioned in. Why hasn't the NCAA and federal gov look into that program? Here's something from the past to show it has always been going on.
LINK
Laettner should have been T'd up and ejected from game. And I'm sure Kentucky would have won. But, no foul called, no tech, nothing. This type of shite has always existed with the Alabama football program, even when they were on probation. There is a huge biased mentality with the SEC in regards to Alabama football. That will never change with the current individuals in the SEC and NCAA office. The only time Alabama football has done anything is when they can get out of state players. And at one time, when they weren't making money for the SEC and NCAA, they were held accountable. But, since Saban got there and he started winning, they making money for the NCAA and SEC, and won't be held accountable. There is no way Alabama can get the recruiting classes it has without paying for the recruits. I'd be willing to bet the SEC and NCAA are full aware of Sabama's recruiting violations. But there's too much money involved to punish them. The SEC office, NCAA and ref's are nothing more than organized crime.

Great post. Wish someone would email it to Mascona. I have never once heard him mention the blatant holds/block in the back on the Hurts TD run.

Hopefully their corruption will be exposed at some point. Of course, the Yahoo Sports investigation did to a certain extent, but the NCAA and SEC did nothing about it.

No it is not. Those who favor this hates the SEC office and its Bama influence and loves LSU. LSU needs to GET OUT OF THE SEC!!! Big 12, ACC etc. whatever. It needs to happen in the next few years. The SEC is not changing nor leaving B'ham. Time to GEAUX and find greener pastures.

Then the crowd will lose it. Security better be super alert or there could be issues unfortunately at the game. Things like this is what is going to drive the powers that be at LSU to seriously think about leaving the SEC. When LSU associated public figures like Carville get blatant with their comments it is code...more than code. LSU has a choice. They can tell the SEC to F9&IL 7 themselves and leave!

I hate to rain on your thread but that article isn't from Fox Sports.

At the very bottom of the article it says "This article originally appeared on" with a link to the original article at deathvalleyvoice.com.

Not that I'm disputing anything the dude said. Just saying it's hardly an unbiased third party source.

His auditioning for a job with them... literally. Can't you narrow minded simpletons get it. The media machine works like this. If you want a promotion and get out of the local market into a regional or national stage follow the Sports Illuminati rhetoric and narrative and you are in. It worked for Paul Finescum. Sell out your class and morals to appease to the garbage masses. Sell them Dirty Laundry and get sweet benjamin$$$$ in return.

Heck no. The issue is that the SEC headquarters need to fix the Bama bias. Now with these billboards being put up, it scrutinizes the SEC higher ups as a whole, Sankey, refs, etc.


It's nationwide now so everyone, even non SEC fans will be paying attention to calls on the field, which is exactly what needs to happen.


All the examples in this thread are spot on and I'd include the int that wasn't called in 2009 with PP7. Both feet in bounds, possession of the ball, called incomplete.


The important thing is that currently the SEC headquarters are under a microscope.

Yea, I know. Probably 10 years from now some things will come to light and they will lose a NC and a Heisman. Like what happened to USC. But, I see nothing happening until they start losing or Saban retires.

The fact this shill does this right in front of the Ole Miss bench is hilarious. He moves his marker foot TWICE...turns it sideways while looking back to check where the 1st down is..and STILL has to put the ball past his toe. Unbelievable. God I hate BAMA

A BamaBias YouTube Channel needs to happen and it needs to include infractions against all SEC teams.

Nothing will happen until the SEC offices are moved out of the trailer park and Saban’s bff Emmert isn’t running the NCAA

Yea, that dude, the godfather of the NCAA. Or, maybe it's Saban who's the godfather of the NCAA, only behind the scenes.
