Something really has to be done about the officiating in the SEC.
I'm happy we won, but I am unhappy that the officials have taken games into their own hands and changed the complexion of games in every big game this year.

I fully expect the SEC office to overhaul the officiating after the season.

I think it's always been somewhat poor but a few real bad calls this year have magnified things and made more people take notice.

You just try to hope if a bad call is made against you eventually they'll make a bad call against them to even it out. I'm not so sure it's a conspiracy for them to put 1 team over the other. But who knows, it could be. Sort of like the WWF. It would make sense but How does the original guy that wants to do that relay that message to others for fear of getting caught?

I'm actually more concerned with the called back touchdown pass.
The unsportsmanlike penalty on the interception return was bullshite. And the block in the back was ticky tack. Jordan Jefferson was out of the play and stopped running without turning around simply to get a block in the back call.
not stopping play when someone threw a cup onto the field on a third down for LSU was bullshite, too. Though, it probably didn't cause a 14 point swing.

I realize the SEC is not quite the National Football League, but isn't it clear that this is big time football and we need full time referees? Maybe Jim Bob Joe Bob Jim Referee might be able to get the calls right if he spent the week watching tape and sitting in officiating seminars instead of manning the counter at the taxidermy shop.

I thought Bobby Petrino overstepped his boundaries earlier this year.
After seeing the way this season has played out, I completely agree with what he did. for sackin up.

The pattern of bad calls consistently favoring higher ranked teams brings up thoughts of conspiracy and corruption but you have to consider the enormity of the federal charges they would be exposing themselves to. Just doesn't make sense.

Already talked into the ground, but OK.

LSU would say it was a smart play. Either way, it was still a BIB.

This one I'm not familiar with....when, so I can take a look at this cup problem.

It's all about the $
If LSU could have run the table, and a Penn State or an Iowa loses another game and you're looking at 3 SEC teams possibly in BCS games. The refs are cheating to help the conference, and it's fricking bullshite.

I agree it was a smart play, but it's the football equivalent of a flop in soccer.
The refs don't call that unless they are actively trying to frick you.
I'm not saying that it was a bad call. It was just a call that doesn't get made in other situations.
If there aren't other bad calls made within the game to raise questions about the reffing you don't even hear about it.

On third and long in the third or fourth quarter mid-play, Somebody threw a water bottle onto the field from the Ole Miss student section. The play should have been stopped, a warning issued, and the play rerun.

I'm pretty sure there's a max of two teams from a conf. in the BCS. I've been wrong before.

That would be BS.
I'm pretty sure it's not the case.
1 team from the 6 BCS conferences is given a birth.
1 birth is given to a non BCS team.
The other 3 births are at larges that go to the highest ranked teams in left the BCS, If I'm not mistaken.
Notre Dame has it's own rules.
But I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

JJ stopped in the direct path of the returner. It's not stopping to get a BIB, it's stopping to cut off the route to the end zone after overrunning him. And if the blocker doesn't shove him in the back it doesn't matter. He shoves him out of the way, it's a good call. It's laughable that this is still being whined about.

The touchdown pass was not a touchdown pass anyway. What are you arguing, that he was pushed out? From the numbers? That's a hell of a push. If you're trying to argue that he couldn't stay in bounds with a good 10-15 feet of green from where he was pushed, well, you might be homering this one up a bit.

The cup, I think, was thrown after the ball was snapped or right at it. I remember seeing it fly in camera view (if that's what it was). You can't seriously think they should stop the play that already started cause someone threw a cup, especially on 3rd down.

Arrakis.... That 14 point swing in the 1ST QTR was straight-up bullshite.

It should have been Ole Miss 10, LSU 0.

That blocked FG should never have happened.

Seriously. The litany of calls that lead to that was some of the worst officiating I've ever seen.

I Like LSU more than Ole Miss. Swear to God. Those calls though.... were horrible.

For real, we're only a few clicks away from Urban Meyer distracting the ref while Brandon Spikes sneaks up behind the opposing QB and hits him with a chair.
