http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abuCLF7hJ6s

For the record, yes, I'm an LSU fan.  But I had already seen that Bama had a slightly better team and was probably going to win the game anyway, and then this happened.  And even if LSU had gotten the ball, it would have been very difficult to drive it down against the Bama defense, especially with Jefferson and Scott injured.  All that I stipulate.  Still, something is rotten in the SEC.

Note: LSU defender in 2004 pushing our receiver out of the way and getting an interception. A replay of it showed it was clearly PI.  But, we didn't scream "Corruption in the SEC!!!"

Since you wanted to jump in, I'll also not the 5.5 yard markoff for running into the kicker on 4th down that created a 4th and even shorter for Bama on that drive.

And let's see, the interference waved off against Bama when the LSU QB threw the ball out of bounds in the fourth quarter -- a good call btw -- when the officials let the interference call stand against LSU in the first half on a virtually identical play when the Bama QB threw the ball out of bounds. Both were clearly uncatchable. But only LSU drew a penalty.

And the spearing on Jefferson, the crown of the helmet to the chest, that wasn't called.

I could discuss the calls in Bama-Tennessee or in Florida-Arkansas, but I won't. You already know about those.

As for corruption, Bama has been the master of it for decades in the SEC.

Like I said, Bama had a better team. Too bad LSU didn't get a fair chance to take them on, though. Or Tennessee.

Edit: Here's a little read for you.

Status: offline 		Here's the 5.5 yard penalty.  Really kind of funny in retrospect.  But instead of punting, Bama went for and made the 4th and inches.  Granted, they likely would have gone for and likely made a 4th and one also.  And, yes, it was noticed at the time by LSU folks.

Edit: How SEC refs spot the ball. Looks like he had a pretty good look at it, too. Jefferson ran past the line and got driven back. Ref apparently did not see him run past the line. Probably checking his watch.



And some more reading on SEC officiating in the game and through the season from Sporting News and Sports Illustrated.

Um, if they wanted to "give us the game" then why didn't they just call it roughing the kicker? That is one of the most ridiculous arguments I have ever heard. "No, we wanted to give Alabama the game so instead of calling roughing the kicker which we probably should have since his leg was still up in the air, we decided to "give" them a half a yard so they could go for it on 4th down."

Are you truly listening to what you are saying?

And yes, I jumped in when someone is making silly sad arguments, someone must counter those silly sad arguments in the interest of sanity.

There were 2 PI's that weren't called on LSU. The downing of the ball inside the 1 was touched by an LSU player and should have been marked on the 5. The safety should not have been called. The ball was within 2-3 yards of Mark Ingram. There was a pass to Brad Smelley that was called not a catch that probably should have been called a catch. We had a slew of penalties called on us at home against South Carolina.

This charge of corruption is one of the most idiotic things I have ever seen.

Status: offline 		Last week of the week before, Indiana got screwed on a TD play.  I didn't see them crying about corruption.  A couple of years ago there were some really horrific calls in a Penn State game.  I don't seem to remember Joe Paterno crying about corruption.  I seem to remember Reggie Bush getting pushed into the end zone during a game that won them the game and the other team while saying it was a bad call didn't cry about corruption.

Why has the SEC suddenly become a bunch of whiny-ass crybabies?  Is it because you cannot stand the fact that Alabama was down so long and now they are finally coming back?  Did you really think Alabama would be an easy victory forever?

Heck just when I thought this thread would be locked for politics I realized my assumption was wrong. I saw "As for corruption" and natually assumed that there was a O before Bama, then I realized we were still talking football.

Anyway, it is clear to me that whenever my teams lose it is because of corrupt and lousy officials. When others complain about their losses, they are just a bunch of wimpy crybabies. Go Badgers

Hope you've been watching ESPN and reading the sports columnists. They disagree with you.

I never said it wasn't a blown call. I was just destroying your sadly mistaken assumption that there is some kind of corruption in the SEC. You can have a blown call without having corruption.

Interestingly, poll data showed most Native Americans favored Indian mascots, even the Washington Redskins mascot.  This was a solution for a problem that did not exist except in the minds of a small minority of a small minority.  My wife and daughter btw are of Native American ancestry, with documents to prove it, meaning not the "Well, my great-grandma was an Indian" variety.  They thought the mascot thing was absurd.  And how exactly has it improved the lives of Native Americans?


I could not disagree with this more. I have no clue where your "poll" was done, but its simply wrong.

My cousins (5) are Oglala Lakota. They consider the "Redskins" an insult to their heritage, and the clowns who deface their ceremonial dress to be just that, f**in clowns.

How about this.
The "Redskins" change their name to the "Washington Greedy J**boys". Clearly, that would be an unacceptable ethnic slur. So why on earth is "redskins" acceptable???

To be honest, OSU played like crap. It boiled down to the Hawkeyes beating themselves. But a win is a win and I'll take it.

Played like crap? I don't think so. Two broken plays in overtime by Iowa=OSU victory.
17 point dogs and lose by three in overtime, we took you to the brink....I doubt Oregon or Stanford will be as nice.
