re: So, and be serious please….how does it work if SEC office and officials have rigged a game

If we are being honest, once it was apparent we were the dominant team in 2019, we started to get calls.

We didn’t need them given our output, but we were getting them.

Peterson was out of bounds, let it go.

You would have to be plainly stupid and blind to believe that given the video and photo evidence to the contrary.

only way to know for sure is to gamble and sue based on a rigged game. I don't gamble so I won't ever be able to sue

Let me give my 2 cents worth based on personal observation.
First of all, I don't believe an money changes hands. I think these 'one sided calls' are just the natural result of being friends with the officials, which is cultivated at Bama.
I have personally been part of a group of bama boosters (not me for sure) on a golf course with Steve Shaw as major part of that group. These guys party, golf and travel together. They have picnics in Birmingham with each other's families. They know each other and their kids on a personal basis, and Shaw, still the head of Rules for the NCAA Rules Committee.
The fact that the SEC and Alabama are so closely tied together is the crux of the issue.
When decisions are made on the field by officials, I don't believe the officials know they are blatantly making a one sided call for or against Bama. I think that if it is a close call, that a very high % goes for Bama must because of natural instinct that they are hoping bama wins. If it isn't a close call, they will make the appropriate call, just so they can 'maintain
their integrity'. So, in bama games, if a call is close, there is probably a 75%+ chance the call will go Bama's way. That also happens during a play, that we have all seen in the past. One particular situation you probably all remember, was when LSU players were BLATANTLY being held in the open field while the bama QB ran for the winning TD, while LSU fans were watching with their mouths open, as to how all officials could 'miss' such blatant holding. It goes back to where their natural preference lies. They want Bama to win, and if they withhold throwing the flag, the score will count and Bama will win, and very few will even notice. They know, and they will have to live with that foreever....but as we have seen year in and year out, they congratulate each other for 'throwing the flag or not throwing the flag' IF it allows Bama to win.
That has been my personal observation for years....check it out next time we play. Watching their interaction together in Birmingham get togethers, makes me not surprised at all. I hate it like every other LSU fan, but I think I know how and why it happens, and it is not that they are paid off.
Just my opinion.

eta2: I don't typically mind when refs keep the flag in their pocket for live ball fouls as long as they call it both ways. Because while there was a major penalty count disparity, it's worth noting that most of LSU's were procedural penalties (Curne false starting).

Generally the flags are not atrocious calls, it’s the no calls bama gets and the timing of said calls that have pissed me off in the past.

Bama seemingly NEVER gets called for holding and then to not review a single play that benefited Alabama and then review 3 plays immediately in a row that benefited LSU was atrocious. Those replay calls killed rhythm and momentum, which are real things.

Like someone else said, we weren’t winning that game because our offense, and particularly the O Line sucked, but it would have been nice to compete on an even playing field.

It’s scripted reality TV.

These leagues are all protected by the entertainment clause.

If you are not familiar with this, look up the Jets fans that sued the NFL after the NFL admitted the Patriots were cheating.

Cick-eyed Kash won't see it either

Im sure someone could sue and get all emails, text, video, and audio correspondent. But like I said you had to wager on the game and since I don't gamble I can't
