bamasgot13, you are wrong.Fans have been complaining bout the league office being in B.ham for decades. It's just now gotten more prominence with the internet, blogging, and much more radio talk shows. A good friend was LSU's alumni chapter president there for 17 yrs, and he said that every 2 yrs or so, all the schools in the conference would send a poll out to their chapter presidents located there, covering a wide variety of issues. Each poll always included the question "Should the league office remain in B.ham". My friend, knowing the various chapter presidents socially thru the yrs, said that it was always a resounding 1000% "get us the hell out of here" response. Issues over bad calls did not orginate with instant replay. No one can honestly say that bama has ever benefitted from some grand conspricacy. But there is a most definite bias towards bama. Change the city to Gainsville, Athens, have the league director of scheduling, officiating, numerous other league employees etc be either a gator or gawg alum, have the same questionable issues come up, and you know damn well hell would be raised. Just cann't see a parade of live gators stopping by the league office in Gainsville, however.

Please, bama's been screwed by the refs for the better part of the last 20 years. We haven't had that many controversial calls go our way.
