"In Louisiana, juvenile court judges appear to have issued harsher punishments following an unexpected loss by the Louisiana State University football team."
"They focused on losses where LSU had been predicted to win by four points or more. Between 1996 and 2012, these surprise defeats happened 14 times out of the 179 games that there was information on."
Interesting...

There's more...
"the football bias was only measurable among those who had gotten their bachelor’s degrees at LSU. These alumni, who accounted for about one-third of the judges in juvenile court at the time, appeared to be responsible for the bulk of the problem — which makes sense, because these would be LSU’s most hardcore fans."

Just think of the poor bastards that got sentenced in January 2012.

I will wait for the results of other states and universities before determining whether this is some outlier or just the norm in college football obsessed areas.

My cousin actually went to court for possession of pot around that time and got a shite ton of community service when it's usually just a fine and some probation.

I was going to point out that Bama was actually favored in that game, but, no, I'm going to let you have this one.

So do any of them try to use lack of air conditioning as a defense? Sure doesn't look like it.

Ah, football in the sec. It is indeed life. No, more important.

Get the right appeals court judges and this could actually be grounds if the study was controlled rigorously enough.
