potential run to the NC as they have for the Gators? Or will they be on their best behavior knowing they will be watched very closely?

Hopefully, Slive has already addressed the crew and the suspended referees taught everyone a lesson.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but the fact that the league office is down the street from Tuscaloosa practically..well, it worries me and always has.

Then again, we haven't lost in Tuscaloosa since '99 and should have won that game.

Great question and an easy answer........the refs will do everything possible to insure an Alabama W. Book it!

If a ref calls a bullsh*t penalty, get the third string safety to hit him. I'll take the 15 yards and ejection

Bamafan21,

No one is making excuses. I won't anyway. I just want this to be a game that isn't dictated by zebras. The LSU/UGAgame was a travesty even though it got us the W. I just don't wanna see LSU go up by 1 with :25 left in the game and then Charles Scott gets a 15 yarder for pointing to his fanbase.

The most penalized team in the S.E.C. is whoever is playing Alabama..........

I'm not making excuses. I think LSU beats OBAMA (that's zero BAMA)even with the expected crappy calls.

Yes, they will.

The SEC wants an undefeated, #2 ranked Alabama, against the #1 ranked, defending national champion Florida.

Same, tired of them dictating or contributing to the winner of games, especially in the SEC.

Conferences want to protect their top teams, look at Texas game and the fumbles against ok ST. Every confer rets are being told to do So. Lots of money up @ stake.

you will see holding not being called on BAma and you will see a holding or two get called on LSU in very key situations. Those are the "low-profile" calls that don't draw too much attention but have a tremendous impact on the outcome of games. LSU's offense is not built to convert 2nd and 20's and one holding penalty will end a drive. I'm fully expecting it based on what I've seen from SEC refs this year. Factor in the home crowd cheering for a flag on every play and you will get some ref magic. LSU better go up by 21 into the fourth quarter if they want to win.

I agree with everything you said except this. There may not be 21 points scored in this game between both teams.

Need to move the league office or start boycotting events like the baseball tournament in Hoover.

SLIVE should attend the game and sit in the replay box- that way if there are any questions he is held responsible
