LSU fans - when will you say enough is enough?

Unlike many of my Aggie brethren, I've taken a liking to our conference mates over in Baton Rouge. Living in Houston, I see Louisiana's influence everyday in our food, music, and culture. I work aside many fine Tiger fans who are as passionate as you'll find anywhere else.
I also see similarities between LSU's current conference situation and the one that Texas A&M left behind just a couple of years ago. A toxic, unfixable situation in which the only choice was to pack our bags. I'm of course comparing Texas's control of the Big 12 and Alabama's control of the SEC.
Time and time again, LSU has been handed the short end of the stick ( as is well documented here). Blatant pass interference, holdings uncalled, refs moving the ball across the first down marker; we've seen them all happen in Bama'a favor across the league. Meanwhile, the SEC office in Birmingham, Alabama does nothing. It's clear as day that they will do whatever they can to protect their golden child.
So like I said, I understand the pain that the LSU Tigers faithful are going through. We've been there. Luckily for A&M fans, our team hasn't gotten the full screw job yet, most likely to coax us into relaxation. It's not like we'd move again so soon anyways, but what about LSU? When is it time to say enough is enough? When will the LSU fan base take some pride in their fan base and their school and petition their AD to leave the conference? When will they put their foot down and say they won't stand for this injustice anymore?
Either way, good luck to you Tiger fans. I support you in your quest to fight this injustice

We're making money hand over fist in the SEC.
Sorry, not interested in giving that up...bad calls or not.

I keep asking the same thing and they never answer.

That first gif makes me hold my side in laughter every single time.

That first clip always makes me laugh. Would love to know the real story behind that.

Been happening for years and not just to LSU.
Judgment calls like holding and pass int. are common.

He spots it incorrectly the first time. Looks down and sees where the ump who was on top of the play has his foot then adjusts it. Simple as that. Here is the whole play He spots it correctly. There is a reason the gif doesn't show the whole field

What so amazing is that the 13 SEC teams besides Alabama can name who they want to the SEC staff, move the offices or even kick Alabama out but never do it. Ponderous

Sure looks like he is looking at the first down marker? Is the other official he was looking at on the Alabama sideline?

We'll be out of the SEC by 2018 for sure.

The spot is right! What is the problem?

59-0 really stung you, huh?

You are not the fish the bait was intended for

LSU an SEC Founding Member, multi Natty Champ in Foots & Bases & Track, early solo title in Hoops, own too much influence in East Texas recruiting to quit. Unlike ATM, LSU doesn't just run away from injustices.
Besides, once Charlie Strong quickly reclaims the Horns rightful place as Kings of Tejas, gonna be fun to watch ATM squirm while being hemmed in by LSU, Bama, Okla, Ark, Mo,etc..interlopers. Then there's that whole NFL courting Sumlin thing that's gonna eventually take root..fun times!

The ump is in the middle of the field. The linesman is the one who makes the adjustment that they show
