re: Penalties against us with Ritter vs without

I don't think its an anti-LSU thing with Ritter, I think he and crew are just shitty officials that aren't held accountable by the SEC office because its a chronie system

---

Although much harder to prove, I don't think the bias is necessarily anti-LSU/pro-Bama but moreso favoring the "anointed" SEC team for that season and calling against a team that threatens their W in a head to head game or stands in their way overall in other games, which just happens to often be Bama as the anointed team and LSU as threatening.

I seem to recall some horrific calls/no calls against LSU when they played Auburn during their last big year but I don't have my notes available right now.

had he called the interception during 9-6 in favor of Bama, we probably would've been the rematch team with "the chip on our shoulder" and 1/9

Do you seriously think that Bull Shite would work for anyone else, not even

If you want to really prove it beyond all doubt show that his assignment to an LSU game affects the spread or Vegas line. I do know that non Sec Officials call 3-4 times as many holding penalties on Bama as they was proven on here last year. I think they average 3-4 holding penalties a game with non sec officials and 0-1 per game with SEC refs.

no, it is a pro-bama , anti LSU bias. It is not all that other stuff you said.

I thought you were providing this by your thread title

Alabama went into complete meltdown mode on Ritter about that call and the meltdown is all over Google in all it's Gump glory. Their love for Ritter is about as strong as LSU's.

---

Well yes, Bama fans have grown to expect those kind of calls to go in their favor and to not have the call given to them put them in meltdown mode. Ritter and the bama replay official in the booth couldn't overturn it (though they normally would have) because it was in fact an interception and the eyes of the country were on them. Rats like to do their dirty work in the dark.

If you think Bama and or Auburn benefit from Ritter more that they've been hurt by him, I question whether you have followed any other team other than LSU since Ritter joined the SEC in 2000. The Internet is a powerful tool that saves information ya know.

Has anyone but Allabahmuh ever gotten a similar rematch game?

My friends, the 1996 National Championship game, Florida vs Florida State, says hello....

to much media attention was on that game for him to do his work. The media had heard some of the buzz about the bias prior to that game and were watching. If he would have called it the other way, every sports media in the nation would have been aware of how they operate. To much light. He couldn't be as blatant as he normally would be in that game

He didnt have to be blantant. 99.9% of refs call the Reid play a catch by Bama.

how do you figure that one? Reid pulled the ball out of his hands on the way down. When they hit the ground Reid had more possession of the ball than the Bama WR and then ended up with the ball. It was called the way it was supposed to be called.
