I know it’s been a thing among LSU fans for as long as I can remember. Do any of y’all also have this opinion?

By bias, I mean the whole bama cheats thing. The SEC offices located in Birmingham etc etc

Officiating, and the targeting call are bad across the entire conference. It's not a Bama only thing.

As an LSU fan, I may be in the minority, but I dont think the officials make intentional calls for or against anyone. I just think they suck in general.

Scheduling and all that other shite is just bullshite.

By not a bama thing do you mean they never get called for it and that they get away with things more than other teams?

I do question, at times, how much power Saban and the REC do exercise over the SEC offices.

Honestly, I know this guy, wouldn't say we are friends because he's too political and self serving for me but he's a Gamecock and he works for SC and he worked under Kramer and Slive for years in BHam ... but he has implied a couple of times that there are questionable influences at work, at times, in BHam. He says there is, for the most part, every effort made to be fair and there are checks and balances ... but he says at times there are winks and nods of the head and things are overlooked or not talked about.

Ridley stepped out of bounds before his TD vs State last year. Ref throws his hat off. They have it off because Bama scores.

Yes it's a thing

Who gives a shite? Beat their arse and don't worry about the refs.

Just wanted to make sure we weren’t alone here. Not trying to say they aren’t a good team cause that would be absurd.


There definitely is some inconsistencies when it comes to reffing them vs others.

^ This.

Personally I dont think there is bias in favor of Alabama from the LSU game.

Does Alabama get hooked up? Sure. Other teams do too. Its college football and every game is different.

We've seen plenty of bias, hell everybody that played in the bevo 12 has, I haven't paid enough attention to the SEC as a whole to comment but anything is possible. You have to look at it impartialy and I don't see that happening on this site.

Of course the Kentucky and Arkansas fans are gonna say it’s fair because y’all never have teams that can even compete with Alabama. A call wouldn’t matter to y’all being down 50.

I don't get the downvotes for a thread asking a question... at least it's a refreshing version of the same thread topic we've seen 1000 times today.

Way to ruin your thread. That was completely irrelevant.

I give you an honest non troll answer and you cant resist to take a shot.

This is why everyone is trolling the shite out of LSU fans.

Better score at least 31 on Bama or you will catch a lot of shite from Razorback fans. Fact for you, Arkansas has put up the most points on Alabama this year)

You guys wont have that problem because youre LSU. The gods of everything.

amIright though or not?

It would be bad to not score 31 and lose.

Hopefully the REC can punish White in the second half and give us Arkansas fans some hope.

OP asks question of other fan bases. Those that agree with his pre-conceived notions are seen as proof. Those that disagree are discounted. Hello confirmation bias my old friend.
