re: This bama melt over LSU fans is kinda sad.

I once pulled all SEC for championship games, but this has changed when it comes to Bama. Here is the reason: Bama get's the SEC Ref, good ole boy calls year after year. It was a beauty to behold Bama getting jacked by the Refs for a change. Bama fans always saying how LSU and other teams are cry babies regarding getting screwed by the SEC Refs, yet when Bama got jacked, you heard the same thing. Bama deserved to lose. Had Georgia been in that game, I would have pulled for Georgia. Had it been Florid, I would have pulled for Florida. No way I pull for Bama because the SEC is rigged for Bama.

I am not saying you're wrong. There may be a conspiracy. I just don't see it.

Maybe I am used to THIS level of ref bias on the field:

That guy had a TexAgs account under the name JTaylor, confirmed by the owner of TexAgs. He was on TexAgs talking shite after the game as a longhorn fan.

We totally get the frustration with bad calls, but many times, what we see as a conspiracy actually the correct call. Other times, it's just a hard call to make, and we don't like the results.

Refs are human. They frick up. They blow calls. It's the nature of the business.

It gets worse if coaches and players start jawing and bitching at the refs in an insulting or non-professional manner. That will start to piss them off. Human nature will prevent them from being impartial, and the guys jawing will not get the calls.

That is junior high football 101. Hand the ball to the refs. Say "yes sir" if the tell you something. Don't respond if they flag you. Just take your as back to the huddle and shut up.

That could be a lot of the problem. I don't know.
