I'm trying to figure out if this is a southern thing, a Louisiana thing or an LSU thing - but this hypersensitivity in regard to EVERY word spoken by an announcer is amazing. It's like you guys turn on the t.v. and are just hanging on every word to try and find some (imagined) put down or insult of your team/player/former player. Where does this paranoia come from? Have you all been so put down and disrespected throughout your lives that what a television commentator says has that much impact? Do you really require the validation of a t.v. talking head? Amazing.

Hey East Bank Tiger: Where are you guys hooking up on Saturday? I'll come down and cheer you on and you all can heap some major abuse on a USC fan. Seriously, it would be fun (I think) to meet some of you all and eat some crawfish and gumbo - or whatever it is you guys munch on. I have tried the Abita (you can buy it at Lee's Liquor here in Las Vegas) and its not too bad! :cheers:

"idiot" "moron" "USWho"

Come on, Tiger bait. Can't you come up with something better than that? Whether or not I watched the game or not is not germane to this discussion. What is pertinent is that virtually every team's fans that lost a game today - or yesterday, or a week ago or a year ago - blame the officiating. What is ammusing is that when a team wins a game against a team whose fans complain about the officiating - well, winning teams fans all find it laughable and poor sportsmanship that they would react this way. Don't believe me? Read the posters reaction on this board when a team's fans who LSU just beat come on here and complain about the refs and see how they get treated. Amazing how perspective has everything to do with how we react.

The fact is that the SEC refs are incompetent

"won't be seeing any SEC officials in the NCAA tournament."

I've got news for you. Fans from the Pac-10, Big-12, Big East, Big-10, ACC and virtually every other conference in the country are saying the same things about their officials. So, how do you propose to officiate the hundred + games in the upcoming tourney when there are no good officials available? I'd love to hear your solution to this "problem." :violin:

Lots and lots of teams are screwed by bad officiating.......................

Gee, do you think this might be a result of what you conspicuously point out earlier in your post -that "Referees are human beings?" Maybe, just maybe, they make mistakes just like every other human being walking around on this planet (except you, no doubt) and it has absolutely nothing to do with "subconscious preferences, corruptable weakness, etc." Oh my gosh. That would put the kibosh on your conspiracy theories. Can't have that, now can we? :banghead:

CLASSIC! :bow:

The sad and scary part of this thread is that King Joey actually subscribes to the theory that there is some kind of conspiracy against LSU sports teams carried out by the officials. I've read his posts before and he really believes there are subversive elements in our society :lol: that conspire to make sure LSU loses games - not just basketball, but football and baseball, also. Of course, he never offers any sound evidence for how and why this occurs and why LSU sports teams are singled out. :violin:
