The officiating in Alabama’s 24-15 win on Saturday was some of the worst in college football this season. And that’s saying a lot given how bad the officiating has been this year in the SEC.

Crimson Tide fans can spin it as much as they want, but Patrick Peterson intercepted that pass in the second half. He not only got one foot down, but two and the refs still got the call wrong. The play might not have wound up being a game-changing moment, but the bottom line is that ‘Bama got a field goal out of the deal, which made it a two-score game late in the fourth.

It should have been an interception, it should have been LSU’s ball and the Tigers still should have had the opportunity to march up the field and score.

It's not like it hasn't happened before. In 1995, the Nebraska Cornhuskers went the entire season without a holding call. They also never gave up a single sack.

If you are a well-coached offensive line - like what Alabama was last year - you can do it.

Sorry, but I'm not buying it. After so many calls have gone the other way vs. Alabama & Auburn over the years-you eventually put 2 & 2 together

Yeah, and Mike Slive was the second shooter on the grassy knoll in Dallas.

I don't know about Bama but we pay the officials before our games. If Miles isn't doing the same thing that's on him.

Why didn't SEC Headquarters help Alabama to a national title in '08 then? Surely they could have made that 15-yard face mask against Erik Anders - you know, the one that gave Florida excellent field position on their go ahead drive in the fourth quarter - a 5-yard penalty since it looked incidental on the replay.

Every ref that did the UofA-LSU game drives new red Dodge Chargers.

- We didn't land on the moon.
- 9/11 was an inside job by our own gov't
- The Illuminati caused the last recession.
- Our gov't knew about and allowed Pearl harbor to happen

One of you a$$holes with time on your hands needs to put together a youtube video of all the Bama holding calls that should have been called...not the ones that were maybe's but the ones that were no brainers, plain as day. The stat seems rediculous but who really knows? Maybe they really are that good. Maybe the evidence will show that clearly Bama had an arrangement. Either way, until then, we need to let the gumps enjoy their 27th Nashnul Champeenship in peace and STFU.

What was the excuse when LSU won in 2007?

Boobie Lowder is going through a rough patch and doesn't have the extra cash that he had back in 06.

I'm to lazy to look it up, but I'm pretty sure we were called for holding 2-3 times during the 8 game stretch but they were declined.
