re: More worried about Auburn than Bama

You guys are beating a dead horse...Let it go. It's game day, the day we have been waiting for all week. Enjoy the game, pick up on this shite later with revised talking points.

I have seen that video and watched it half a dozen times. Like I said, the worst of the calls was the catch and fumble ruled incomplete. The PI call that LSU fans STILL yap about was not even PI, which makes LSU fans look not so bright.

And I was going to let it go, but since you felt compelled to post a video I have seen over half a dozen times, here you go...


1. 2007 AU -LSU not enough men on line of scrimmage. Hester scores TD on 3rd down, flag is picked up.

2. 2007 AU - Game winning drive. Hester stopped a yard and a half short resulting in 4th down. AU stops LSU, game is over (even after #1 above went in LSU's favor).

3. 2007 AU - 3rd Quarter. Bad spot again results in first down for LSU

4. 2009 AU - Aweful PI calls against AU in first quarter resulting in LSU lead.

5. 2009 AU - Defensive delay of game called on AU. No explanation given. Announcers have no clue. Keeps LSU drive alive for TD.

6. 2009 AU - Bogus personal foul on AU leads to more first quarter points and big lead for LSU

7. 2009 AU - False start called on AU after two LSU defenders jump into neutral zone. Next possession, EXACT same thing happens but AU is flagged on defense.

As for my LSU review, here it is: Auburn's rhythm was knocked off-kilter early in the game by some ridiculously one-sided calls that even the most avid football fan had never heard of. Have you ever seen a defensive delay of game that didn't occur in the last few seconds of the game? Yeah, Auburn got called for one in the first few minutes.The Tigers were also flagged for a false start when Andrew McCain's butt flinched after two Bengal Tigers jumped offsides and far into the neutral zone. The very next drive, two LSU offensive lineman completely jumped out of their stance because one of our guys jumped offsides for a second. Both were completely the same situation, yet Auburn was flagged for both.0
Share 6 Comments Then there was the personal foul, leading with the helmet, hitting a defenseless receiver penalty that was called against Zac Etheridge on a dropped pass on third down. Watch the replay and you will see that Etheridge starts his hit, which was completely led with his hands (see the picture up there), before the receiver drops the ball. His momentum led him into the hit, which was definitely not late.

We can talk about calls like this all day, but they won't get changed. What does happen, though, is that defenders start to play soft the rest of the game because they are scared they are going to get called for pass interference anytime they get near a receiver.
Auburn started off decent on the first drive, got behind because of LSU's ref- and turnover-assisted touchdowns, and couldn't catch back up. Nothing seemed to work, except the run defense, save that one long play late in the game.

LSU beat Auburn 30-24 last night in an exhilerating finish that made Death Valley quake like in 1988. Here are 5 honest, objective reasons why LSU won. I'm an LSU fan, but the reasons why are the reasons why. Let's begin:

1. THE OFFICIATING CREW: Let's be real here: This game is dramatically different if two easy calls are made by the refs. Both favored LSU. Midway through the fourth quarter, a Jacob Hester touchdown was allowed to stand after a lengthy review, even though a replay clearly showed LSU had only six men (seven is the minimum) on the line of scrimmage. Not only would the penalty have negated LSU's touchdown, but it would have backed them up 5 yards as well, putting in doubt a TD play. Again, with just under two minutes left, LSU running back Richard Murphy — trying to convert a 3rd and 3 — was tackled at Auburn's 38 and after hitting the ground he bounced forward at the 38 and a half yard line, right where the first down was. The spot was more than generous for Murphy, it was simply crazy. Yet, the SEC replay booth didn't deem the play fit to review and LSU was able to avoid a 4th and short. Would they have gotten it? Probably. But it's unfair not to give Auburn a chance to defend a 4th and short. Incredibly, on both calls, Auburn's Tommy Tuberville refused to challenge the calls, which brings us to the next reason why Auburn lost.

The only argument the Aubies have is to counter with some supposedly bad calls, for they and everyone else knows the blatant favoritism the in-state Alabama refs administer. What LSU fans have documented are not just BAD CALLS, but GAME CHANGING CALLS. Like the EXTRA EXTRA POINT given Auburn to win the game in the last second in 2004. Auburn fans en masse have collectively known to "not go there" as far as making claims about egregious game changing calls. Any honest Aubie knows LSU has been fricked numerous in the last decade from bona-fide wins!! Move on to another thread Aubie, for you've got NO argument NONE. LSU still OWNS your arse despite the blatant cheating.
