Auburn in 06 gets it because there were 5 majorly controversial calls that all went Auburns way.

In the Bowl formerly known as Citrus vs. Iowa @ the end of '04 season, there was a blatant block in the back (actually pushed him to the ground, face-first)on an LSU DB on the verge of tackling the receiver before he scored the winning TD. It was in wide-open space so anyone watching the ball-carrier should've seen the violation.

This picture clearly indicates the penalties on that play.



Refs actually threw a flag but picked it up when Iowa stormed the field.

I fricking hate the refs. It seems like we lose a game SOLELY on the shoulders of referees every year.

That reminds me of when we got hosed on that same field against Penn State when their defensive player laid on the ball and the center pulled him off the ball so we could snap it and they gave us 15 yards and ran time off the clock.

That was pretty controversial.

Why is it that LSU was hosed in the final minute in the same bowl on both occasions? I know the officials were from the Big 12 vs Iowa. I'm 90% sure they were from the Big 12 vs Pedo St. as well. Maybe LSU should refuse to play there if the bowl-bids ever have them headed there again & demand a switch to another bowl w/ an SEC tie-in?

Mike Slive is the most overrated commissioner in sports history.

He is just Bama's little bitch boy, nothing more

If we're talking just LSU games, this. And it's not close.

I'd say the only other call that even approaches it is the Peterson non interception that people on Fox NFL Sunday were saying would've been an int in the NFL, let alone college. That being said, LSU was still in need of a drive and score to win.

LSU would've won in 2006.

Bingo, haters.

Aside, that field was atrocious and unsafe. I saw it first hand. The worst I have ever personally seen and cannot believe they let teams play on that garbage. No exaggeration.

Goddamit I was there too. That fricking abortion of a game. All of what you said is right, AND their fricking band ruined 7 Nation Army. i hate that song now.

ETA: Somehow some crackhead stole my ice chest after the game and we had 15 people standing within 20 feet of it. I think he belly crawled underneath my buddy's truck through the mud.

LSU vs Southern Cal 1979

Should have won it if not for the refs.

The answer is auburn 2004, not 2006.

the missed the PAT to win the game, and got a call that had never been called before, and then got taken out of the rule books later that year for good.

The penalty wasnt for jumping off of someone, it was for landing on the line after he jumped. We didn't even block it, dipshit just missed it (much like we did earlier in the game).

There were a few what ifs with Auburn but the Miss St game in 1999 the last time they beat us was garbage. They didn't have replay and let the touchdown stand.


Remember that vividly. The MSU player literally crawled into the endzone from the one yard line. Never could find the replay of this game though.
This one, to me. The State RB should have been down (and it was obvious). Wasn't it also 4th down and/or the final play of the game, too? It's what separates that game from most others; on most of these you can claim "homer" or something, saying we'd drive to win when it wasn't 100% guaranteed. The Miss St game, they were given the winning points on a terrible blown call, or we WOULD have won.

More controversy came with the coaching in the Ohio St series in the 80s: we threw an INT in the redzone late, when all we needed was the kick to win.
Next year, we were up 7 late and had to punt. Worst that could happen was a block or runback and tie, right? NO, we took the intentional safety (and shrunk the margin), then punted, and the Buckeyes drove down for the win. I remember crying in anger afterwards, probably the last time in my life I actually cried

what game did we get called for "illegal use of leverage" or some horse shite like that? i cant remember


First, last, and only time that penalty has ever been called. They took it off the books.

Still don't think it beats State in '99. There was no "interpretation" about it. It's the most fundamental rule in the game. He was just clearly, obviously, unquestionably down. To this day I have no idea how you could miss that call.

Greatest almost-screw is when we recovered a fumble and the refs didn't notice; Saban pointed wildly to the big jumbotron showing the replay and they decided we had the ball after all. Blatant rules violation for them to rely on that replay. Who was that, Auburn 2001? Maybe Alabama 2000?

The game where the field goal penalty was called when the other team missed...giving them the chance to kick again and win the damn game.

I forget what year that was (I want to say 04) or who it was against (I was drunk as shite and erased the details of that game from memory)
