Officiating was definitely affected by LSU PR campaign

And I hope Bama files a complaint.

Normally, I think it’s lame to complain about officiating. It’s so Auburn and LSU. But those officials were scared out there tonight.

LSU was constantly holding. They were literally tackling our dlinemen.
There were double digit holds that LSU got away with. After they realized that the officials were unwilling to call penalties on LSU, they got bolder and bolder with it.

I don’t give a crap what some of you say about the professionalism of SEC officials. Those guys were intimidated by the very public allegations made against them.

This bullshiit has to stop. It’s not fair to our players.

Never seen so many missed holding calls ever.

Their DBs got away with several obvious pass interference calls as well.

That's not fan talk either. It was ridiculous. The wrs finally stopped asking for a flag, because they knew it wasn't coming.

I made a post about this before the game. It was a concern.

And I was told by all the board know-it-all’s that the officials were consummate pros and would be totally unaffected by the public allegations that they were crooks working on behalf of a member school.

Of course they were affected. There is a head of officiating who was probably damn embarrassed by it and possibly worried about his job.

We need to counter this by demanding an explanation as to why our opponents are always the least penalized year after year.

the whole nation just seen why those db's are so good. they grab jersey every play and hold the wr's back. i literally lost count at how many times they held our wr's. this aint even including their ol hold and or tackling our dl.

I love the comments about the over throws by Tua and then in replays the DB's where holding jerseys all night long. I get they aren't going to call holding on every play, but we were in the back field all night with 0 holing calls.

Also, the Targeting overturn was bs by the rule. I will say I think we got away with a couple of potential flags, but that no way offsets the holding on almost every play from LSU.

We got tackled on pass rush quite frequently, but I'm sure we got away with a few too.

Unlike other people I realize that the SEC as a whole has just stopped calling holding by linemen for the most part, and that generally hurts us more than other teams because we get held more.

Either way, whatever. But there is no way even the most LSU LSU person could argue that got jobbed by the refs tonight.

LSU's o-line straight up almost stripped Buggs out of his uniform they were holding him so much. Quinnen and Raekwon could file sexual assault charges against LSU's o-line. It was disgusting how biased the refs were in LSU's favor tonight. It was terrible. Had the game been called fairly we score at least 40 points.

What? I'm sure we got away with a few too? Hell no we didn't! It was blatant holding and interference calls out there against LSU. The refs kept those flags in their damn pockets because they were either scared of being hurt after the game or the SEC office told them to take it easy on LSU. I'm telling you all had Delpit been called for targeting LSU would've started talking about moving to the Big 12 once again. I live in Baton Rouge. LSU really doesn't want to compete against Bama.

You are more than welcome to think that. I tend to believe the referees are honest actors who are sometimes just not that good at their jobs.

It’s only human to want to keep your job.

If they’re honest, they must be legally blind.

There were some pretty egregious holds tonight out in space. I was a little shocked none of them were called. This was definitely one of if not the worst consistently bad group of missed holds I've seen against us.

I dont think that had anything to do with any grand plan or conspiracy, though.
