Ok. It's just an office building, but I'm fine with it if it would cut out some of the bitching.



I'd probably support it if I were you. Whether you believe that there is Bama bias or not, at least it'd give them one less thing to throw out on that front.

For me, it just doesn't make sense in Birmingham. It's central, but not much more than Atlanta and with no obvious advantages.

So, you've not heard of that principle.

I'm shocked.

Sure. Let's have people from other schools that hate the SEC get to be in charge of something like that.

Or Utah in the Sugar Bowl. 0-3 in the Sugar Bowls but hey back to the narrative.

All B.S. aside, I think the reason Trent Richardson, Mark Ingram and AJ McCarron looked so good in college compared to the NFL is because I think they played with some of the best O-Lines ever in college football. But I'm sure that won't fit your narrative either.

didn't bama have a play reviewed like 2 plays after it ended?


I know they blew a whistle after Auburn snapped the ball in the IB. I have seen plays go against them that have been reviewed. I have seen plays by them that obviously should have been reviewed.......and weren't. Any fan, even bama fans, that doesn't think there is a bias towards bama, by SEC officials, is either a liar or in denial.

If I remember correctly, they only have to pay $1 a year for the building or something like that. It's a ridiculously good deal. If Atlanta can give them something comparable, then sure, move it.

I am trying to decide who plays a better victim, Auburn or LSU.

What the frick are you talking about, man? I'm not trying to create a "narrative", it's your thread, so we are all here laughing at you.

They can do that. I believe the rule is as long as the ref gets buzzed before the snap, then it can be reviewed. There's obviously going to be a delay between when he gets buzzed and he blows the whistle.

Most of the time it is Auburn, but LSU is making a strong push with two ref/Bama threads on the front page on a random Sunday night.

Our OL was a mess against Utah. Smith was suspended before the game, then we had one or two other OL get hurt early in the game.

Could have happened, but that particular situation is tough because it is rare, and there is no way to know whether it was really buzzed in time or not. I wouldn't blame any team for eye rolling in that situation.

They did have some of the best line in college football. They were BCS winning teams with great players. Why would that prove your point?

I believe the ref even said he was buzzed by the booth before the snap. Even then, the review didn't go our way.

It is and it would be perfect. But you're right, 30 minutes from Tuscaloosa is much better.

Yeah a team that ranks just inside the top 50 every year in recruiting should wreak havoc on your O-Line.
