Tigerdroppings blog article on the refs......

Funny how when BAMA fans put the screws to the lswho fans and start showing proof they are NO WHERE to be found much less offer an opinion about how come they only defend calls that go their way?????????????????????

Here kitty kitty..................

because we were told by bayoutider that we were not to post about the calls made on the game anymore. It's your board and we're hamstrung on what we can post.

Like I said funny none of our resident tigger fans want to come explain it to us........ tiggerdropppings is a perfect name for that place and you can replace droppings for the real name and you have the perfect fit.............

I live in Shreveport and I don't know if you listen to the Tim Fletcher morning show on the radio? He's an Arkansas fan but has to play to the LSU fan base for his show to stay on. He and the LSU fans have been milking this one like a new born calf. It's pitiful. Biggest bunch of cry babies I think I've seen and heard in a LONG LONG time.

It has nothing to do with bad calls, all their whining, and I heard more than most this past week, it's all about losing. For almost 30years of living here, I have very seldom seen them lose a big game that they didnt blame it on something other than themselves getting beat. You didnt hear a word from them on the bad spot going against Miss.State which cost State the game, or The Ga. call that gave them 15 yds to help win the game. No, they have the media helping them on this one, so they are milking it for all its worth. All this is to some of them is Saban II....

Jump in and defend yourself. I doubt you can add anything about "The Call" that will change anyone's mind but feel free to defend your fans.

Because what ever is used to "defend their fans" is going to be refuted with 2004 non pass interference call down in Baton Rouge that could easily be called "home cooking" and the 2007 Matt Cadell "catch" that was overturned that would have closed out the game for Bama.

Bad calls happen and they have happened just as much to Bama over the past decade as they have to anyone else. LSU after it's all said and done has had most things go their way for the last six to seven years. I've watched them be the beneficiary of bad calls on their opponents and uncontrollable unlikely circumstances occur that put them in championship games such as their two loss championship year. When a fanbase is used to having things go their way for so long and then all of a sudden it doesn't they automatically think "Somebody's got this thang rigged against us."

I have absolutely no sympathy at all. If that call cost them the game, SO WHAT!!!??? I don't care. If it didn't (which I believe it didn't) then SO WHAT!!!??? I still don't care. It's happened to us and it's happened to us TWICE against LSU. Life sometimes ain't fair.

Jump in and defend yourself. I doubt you can add anything about "The Call" that will change anyone's mind but feel free to defend your fans.

No team or player in any sport is 100%, there are x number of play in a game, there will be several, if they go the way of your team, could change the outcome, if they dont,...dropped pass to wide open player, dropped int. block punk instead of a hitting the punter, a blown call, motion, 5 men in the backfield,,, could go on and on. Point being, you move on to the next play, you make a play the next time, You make a stop or you don't. You score or sometimes you lose. To hang a loss on one play.....look why you LOST the game, not why you lost that play...

 

[fanonthehill]

I am a Razorback fan, so I consider myself an expert on bad calls.(See Florida) I thought it was crazy when people up here were screaming conspiracy when we lost to the Gators. They were definatley some bad calls, but there are in every game. I personally thought the LSU d-back had the pick last saturday. But guess what? The officialS saw it the other way. LSU should do what I told everyone around here when we lost. It is a quote from my old high school coach. "Footbal games are decided by players, don't let yourself get in a position where a bad call could cost you a game." LSU had oppurtunities to put points on the board and to keep Bama from scoring. They didn't get it done. The better team won the game. Good luck this weekend and keep rolling until you pound the Gators in Atlanta.

Doesn't matter what SEC teams are playing there is and will always be missed (bad) calls. Some are more obvious than others. I've come to believe that it's just part of football. Shouldn't be but it is..Roll Tide Roll

OK.

I don't think the refs cost us the game. I don't refute the points BB made as far as we have had calls go our way. The better team won. The only thing is Bama is good enough on their own, they don't need help from the officials.

What I do say is that this time, the critical calls went Bama's way.

JJ was speared. The defenders head was definitely down. It took him out the game.

Bama was called for pass interference and it was waved off. LSU was flagged and it stood, both passes could have been ruled uncatchable.

LSU was flagged for procedure, Bama got 5.5 yards, put them right there for the first down attempt.

LSU probably would not have scored on the INT, but they should have got the chance.

No conspiracy. But if I can admit there was pass interference in 2004, I just cant' see why some can't admit that this time, Bama got the better of the close calls.

As for LSU fans whining, that's what some fans do. I've seen the 2004 PI play posted here and whined about several times this year!! What's the difference? How are the Bama fans who are still complaining about that any different than the LSU fans?

This is my last post on this, thanks for the chance to respond.

For the record I think it was an INT. I was at the game and the refs looked confused on what to call to me. Incomplete was the obvious call and then let the replay look at it. On one hand I say that it wouldn't have mattered. Bama had stopped LSU pretty much the whole day but I thought the same thing about UT and we know what almost happened. It was Bama's day to get the call and LSU's day to not get the call.

Oh I have no doubt that it was a bad call but that's not what I am saying. I AM saying that BAMA has been on the receiving end of some terrible calls and while we complain it did not lose the game for us. In 04 I believe it was when they pushed our WR down it was not the end of the game we had chances to recover and in fact we stopped them and made them punt but it did flip the field and get the fans back in the game and it also set them up for what would be the sack that lead to their score.............

All I am saying is bad calls happen to everyone but I heard soooooo many lswho fans defend the ref's and blame UGA for not stopping them that it makes me sick to hear them cry about "1" bad call.... They had every chance to stop us heck we went for it on 4th down out of the wildcat so was there any DOUBT we were going to run it???? Step up and make a play and stop crying about one call because that call did not lose the game for you. Poor tackling and just flat out being whipped for 4 qtrs is what did them in... I think they had a player down almost every series.
Point in all of this is the ref's are not perfect and for their fans and not only them but half of the SEC teams have fans and coaches crying about some stupid biase towards BAMA and florida is just down right ignorant. We are the 60th ranked team in penalties and actually if you look above we were flagged even less last year.... Maybe it could be that we are better coached and more disciplined but the fact is the replay official looked at it and made a call what else is there???

JJ was speared. The defenders head was definitely down. It took him out the game.

That was not what took him out of the game it was a sack from Nico that twisted his ankle. The hit looked fine to me not different than the hit that Tebow took from the UK defender.

Bama was called for pass interference and it was waved off. LSU was flagged and it stood, both passes could have been ruled uncatchable.

On the PI penalty the difference was our ball was actually catchable and the fact that the grab was AFTER G Mac had released the ball and yes it makes a world of difference. Had Peterson did it before the ball was released he would of gotten away with ANOTHER mugging of JJ. On your pass the ball landed not on the sidelines but about 5-10yds deep on the sidelines CLEARLY out of bounds and in fact the ref who called the PI was also the one who watched it sail way out of bounds and called it uncatchable.

LSU was flagged for procedure, Bama got 5.5 yards, put them right there for the first down attempt.

Not even sure what in the world you are talking about in this one?? How do you guys get a procedure penalty that gives us 5 yds for a 1st down??? If you are talking about at the end of the game it was a running into the kicker that got you the flag and allowed us 5 yds to go for it.......................................

LSU probably would not have scored on the INT, but they should have got the chance.

You had a chance we went for it on 4th down, bad call or not you had a chance to make a defensive stop and give YOURSELF a chance.

No conspiracy. But if I can admit there was pass interference in 2004, I just cant' see why some can't admit that this time, Bama got the better of the close calls.

I do not see us complaining we mostly us it as a reference when someone wants to cry about no-calls or bad calls... That was without a doubt one of the worst no calls in the history of our series. I use it as a point that bad calls happen, is it why we lost no we had our chances to recover and actually stopped you and made you punt...

This is my last post on this, thanks for the chance to respond.

I hate for this to be your last post on this because I wanted to see if you watched the game without the glasses on.... At 10:55 in the 2nd qtr your QB was scrambling down field and RJ Jackson performed a crack back block on Mark Barron which was CLEARLY from behind not even close and yet there was no call and you guys scored on that possesion... Was that not a terrible missed call??????????? Just like I said "1" call but we overcame it and you guys were given a chance to make a play and didn't on 4th down.

 

[Bamabuzzard]

Good post. You're right, some critical calls did go Bama's way this time but doesn't take away the fact nor the magnitude of critical calls in the past that totally screwed us from every which way imaginable. I think part of my beef with the LSU fans on this subject is the blatant "non calls" on LSU that materially helped them. No one wants to discuss those. Because it wouldn't support the "conspiracy" of the SEC. Bama had to overcome those non calls. This was not a case of the last play of the game, LSU passes to the endzone to win the game and BOOOM!!! A call was made to negate a TD, clock expired, ball game over, LSU loses. That was not the case at all.

Go back and watch the game (if you are able) and

1. Look for the spot of the ball on the series LSU scored the safety. Look where the ball SHOULD HAVE BEEN SPOTTED. It was a blatant screw up. The ball should have been on the four or five yard line, not the friggin one yard line.

2. The crack back block mentioned in another post in this thread.

3. The holding on Cody on LSU's first TD.

4. The block in the back that help spring Riddley on the TD in the second half.

5.The non pass interference calls on Patrick Peterson that my god could have been called at will.

6.The first series of the game for Bama where the replay cameras weren't working. A obvious catch for a first down that was called incomplete but we couldn't review it because the replay booth was down.

And the beat goes on. These obvious non calls greatly benefited LSU. They were not "iffy iffy" but blatant non calls. Just as LSU fans were probably screaming and throwing things at the tv SO WAS I throughout the game. That is one of the reasons I don't feel bad, guilty or think that the calls that did go against LSU cost them the game. We both were getting screwed throughout the game. It's just the national media chose to pay more attention to the LSU "bad calls" because it supports the "conspiracy theory" story and simply ignored the things that Bama fans were yelling about during the game.

The better team won. Plain and simple. I think the real problem is A LOT of LSU fans (since their run of great success) have a hard time saying that Bama was the "better team". I really do. And many of those fans are your "newer" and "younger" fans that jumped on during the 2000's. Most of the "older fans" I've talked to say the better team won and that call didn't cost them the game.

Y'all will have a chance next year in Baton Rouge to "right" the so called "wrong" and get "revenge". And I'm sure there will be some calls that people will go up in arms about. And if I'm a wagering man I'd say the Bama fans are going to be the ones that will be up in arms...

OK.

Just wanted to quote these for emphasis. There bad calls/no-calls in every game. It could be argued that some of the no-calls against LSU would have had a more direct impact on the outcome of the game than the controversial INT no-call.

1.) Likely no safety 3.) Would have negated an LSU TD 4.) Would have negated an LSU TD.

Had those calls been made correctly, they would have directly eliminated ALL OF LSU'S POINTS. ALL OF THEM. Now you tell me which no-calls had more of an impact on the outcome of the game. An INT and a 60 yard field in front of LSU or taking ALL 15 of LSU's points off the board?

I'm getting bored with this. They can (and will) discuss it until next August. We don't have to. We have another game tomorrow...

And you can go to any LSU board to read a thread on who do you want to win the SECCG and a vast majority will pick Florida simply because they hate Bama or we cheated them. How we cheated them is a mystery to me, the officials aren't supplied by UA but the SEC. It seems they think we should forfeit the game to them because they are LSU. Alabama has taken their spot back in the SEC West and everyone else can battle it out for #2.
