Another thing you’ll learn is that, while other teams may acknowledge that there was a bad call that went their way, however tacitly, Alabama fans will argue against all reason that the most inane call was actually correct, and that you’re just a whiner. Alabama fans genuinely believe that they haven’t had wins aided by bad calls, or if they do, they’ll never admit it. It’s mind-boggling.

The refs call 10+ penalties on Bama yesterday. You will never see that once you join the SEC. That was the best officiating you could hope for.

While I understand your frustration, I can’t help but laugh at the fact that you are now on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to getting all the calls.

I’m not at all happy about Texas joining the SEC, but I can’t wait to see them put in their place as just another step child. The meltdown will be glorious.

It’s great to be a Georgia Bulldog

Honestly uga got a couple calls in the NC game that put us over the top

It was almost like the refs decided they were sick of it.

How dare they hit Colt McCoy while he is running to the edge in the middle of a play.

Guess I have a better understanding of why SEC Headquarters is located in Birmingham.

It seems the SEC will do whatever it takes to keep their cash cow milking. Economically it's a good strategy to keep the gravy train flowing but when all 50/50 calls in a meaningful or close games go one-way it's a turn off.


The SEC isn’t the Texass 12, dumbass. SEC money is split pretty evenly, regardless of team. Besides, it takes some serious gall to talk about favorable officials after yesterdays display of officiating by B12 officials for Texas, not to mention the fact that half of Texass’ meager success historically is pretty much acknowledged as attributable to favorable officiating.

You horns sure do bitch a lot about the refs. OU holds every play and now Bama mauls receivers every play. Take the loss pussy.

THIS! THIS!!! is why Texas fans need to understand, they aren't running sh*t when they get to the SEC.

Texas fans keep saying their political influence and power runs every conference they've ever been in...SWC, Big 12.

For the first time in their history, Texas will be in a conference where they're at the small end of the table.

Texas fans learned on their own field who's running the SEC and that you better fall in line.




And you think it's bad now, you may want to see who's next in line to take over the NCAA after Emmertt.

2 words...Derrick Crawford.

Yes, I particularly thought the refs were very kind to throw the flag on us 15 times. They were definitely on our side!

Strangely we seem to be the only ones who never get shafted by the refs against Bama.

If you can’t bribe the refs on your own field you’re REALLY going to hate road games in the SEC.
