FWIW I think it'll be a cleanly called game with the typical SEC ref frickups sprinkled in on both sides. Seems to happen in big games.

I am not worried, but I also know that the SEC referees have traditionally called things in favor of Alabama and Auburn. This bias is a result of the SEC offices being in Alabama, and being predominantly staffed by Alabama and Auburn alumni.
The fact that one of Alabama's biggest boosters, the head of the SEC replay officiating crew, was in the replay booth at the time of the Patrick Peterson interception review, should have sent shocks through the entire college football world. Not only should all the replay booth officials there that day been fired, but that Alabama booster specifically should have been investigated by Congress. He should never be allowed to associate with the SEC, Alabama, or any NCAA institution again. But guess what? He's still the head of the SEC replay officials. How the SEC did nothing to discipline that situation is a travesty of justice and a mockery of the fair play the SEC pretends to uphold.

It ain't just what they call but also what they don't call and placement of the ball. We had a first down on the first possession of the 2009 game but the ref jumped back about 2 yards from where the run ended to give us 4th and about 1 yard. It was blatant cheating by the refs.
LOL. I remember that one in 2009 as well. That was the third play of the game. JJ rolled right, got the first down, and the ref backed the ball up a full two yards. We went 3 and out and were forced to punt.
They set the tone early. Really, at that point, every LSU fan should have quit watching the game.

So, you want one crooked entity to be investigated by another crooked entity? No thanks.
The answer is simple: remove prominant Bama and Auburn alums from these positions and things will change. But they won't any time soon, unfortunately.
The new head of officials is also a Bama alum now. But let's all go ahead and deny the obvious. LOL

It was at that point I knew we couldn't win. No matter what LSU did and what the gumps did. The game was fixed.

That was a bad call but you can hardly say that a single call in the first quarter cost anyone the game.
Except that the no call occurred in the 3rd quarter but why bother with meaningless details like that.

I really don't want to believe the refs were part of some conspiracy in LSU/Bama 2009 but when you look at the PP interception and the "video review" that allowed the play to stand, you may wonder but really it was Mike Slimmey Slive that really added suspision. He told the media and all who had questions about the blown call and the review process that "we won't be making any comments about the call". That made me wonder because everybody was wanting an explanation on why the call was not reversed. Seems to me he could have cleared the air by at least explaining what the replay officials saw that the rest of the nation didn't!!!

I'd be okay with the head ref we just had, is it Austin? I went back and looked at the pealties. Only one they really got wrong was Beast49 being offsides. He wasnt, but he definitely looked it in real time.. cant blame the ref for throwing that flag.

You guys make this way too easy. Alabama grad Steve Shaw who is the current head of officials took over THIS year but was officiating some other SEC game the day of the 2009 Bama/LSU game. If you're talking about the old guy that retired this past year, he is NOT an Alabama grad NOR is he a Bama booster. The conspiracy theories surrounding that 2009 game are

If I were Les, one of the first things I would do before the game is grab the head official and read him the riot act. Explain how important the game is and let them know we aren't going to allow the officials to decide the game for us. Also remind them of past questionable calls and make them aware that they are being scrutinized. At least they would know he is on the ball.

Someone give me a principled, rational explanation for the replay officials' conduct that doesn't involve bias or inexcusably gross incompetence.
Well, they claimed they did not have High Def in the replay booth at the time. Surprisingly, the SEC was behind the other major leagues with this well established technology.

who was it that ran 10 yards into the backfield, dragging an LSU olineman by his facemask the whole time?
Posted on 10/25/11 at 9:36 am to DelU249
I could give a shite less about officials. We get some calls, we dont get some calls.
If the game is that close that a bad call decides it, well, that is on you for not being further ahead or for being behind.

The level of incompetence is bad enough, I would be willing to bet we have mostly former Alabama high school officals calling SEC games. I would love to see a roster of officals and where they come from. In 2009 you have to believe that the Alabama booster in the replay booth saw what he wanted to see. Phantom holding calls at critical times, poor spots after plays, no matter how well you play bad calls can be a factor. I am sure the SEC office is full of Sabama boosters.
Yes I am concerned we will get shafted like the last time we played in Gump Land. If it happens again it will really make the SEC look terrible.

Dick Burleson, an avid Bama booster, was in the replay booth that day. As a director of replay officiating, essentially the boss of those who were making the actual calls, his presence was undoubtedly felt.
Want to know more? Dick Burleson
