I will add that the officiating at Jordan Hare has been horrendous in critical games, costing LSU the West at least twice in the last decade. Skip Bertman even made an official statement to the press in 2006 about the officiating in that game which, imo, was perhaps the most biased and poorly officiated game I have ever seen. It is the only time that I can ever recall an LSU AD openly stating that not only were the refs wrong, but the SEC was wrong in upholding the calls. This type of officating lends credence to the belief among many SEC fans (I lived in GA for 10 years as well as LA and travel Florida and Mississippi as well as Alabama for my job) that dirty tactics are a given within the state of Alabama when it comes to SEC football. A "win at all costs" attitude. Try getting a holding call against Alabama in Tuscaloosa. But getting shafted by the refs in '06 cost LSU the West and and another shot at Florida in the SEC Championship game, a Florida team that barely beat Vandy (4-8) and squeaked one out against South Carolina (7-5) by one point. Florida then went on to win the national championship game. So, there are still a lot of "what ifs" about that year and what might have been for us if we hadn't gotten the shaft in that game. Winning 6 of the last 7 against Auburn has been sweet, but no one will forget what happened in 2006.

With all of that said, Auburn fans are so much better than Alabama fans! World of difference!
