LSU fans ladies and gentlemen. Always crying about refs

We should just be like Bama fans and claim that “Only LSU can beat LSU.”

It’s witnessing something so blatant and obvious, while the rest of the world turns their eyes because it wasn’t their team that night.

If it were blatant and obvious then the fans of neither team would have noticed it, and not just the aggrieved fans of the that ended up losing.

This Ref epidemic has been bad for 10 years now

It is so blatant now though, I’m wondering if the entire SEC office is in on it.

No shite

I will also go so far as to say LSU has no shot against Bama because the SEC office is Bama’s Grandpa and they also now hate LSU with every fiber of their being.

LSU always on your mind? It’s ok little man. It’s good to be envious

I know this is WAY and I mean WAY overused but sometimes the Ref mistakes are egregious by the same token, so it can’t be totally ignored either. I floated something out last night that might be a pseudo solution for the time being. Bear with me please on this…

I’m not being a Bama crybaby here with what I’m bringing up either but in the Bama/UGA game there were some pretty bad holding calls missed on both sides. Those were at least being called/not called rather equitably. However the four plays Alabama fans point out that were rather obvious, and I’d say game changing missed calls…in particular the no call on the PI at the end…those were outliers and NOT being flagged equitably. Further displayed by a much less blatant PI call on Dijon Lee moments before the no call against UGA. The disparity in those penalties given and not given was what frustrated Bama fans the most.

That said, some games have more blown calls than others. Coaches should get a Challenge System that can be used a time or two in each half similar to what has been done already with a HUGE difference of allowing for penalties, called and not called, to be reviewable. That makes complete sense. Why is it that we can review a 10 yard pass completion to see if a WR caught a first down but not review where a WR gets mugged in the end zone on a crucial play that has a much greater impact on the game seemingly than a pedestrian type reception . That makes zero sense, like beyond zero. If the “spirit of the game” for having replay in the first place is to get shite right as a safety net…WTF are we doing leaving a HUGE hole in that net by only allowing targeting to be reviewed??? I don’t understand this.

I’m also reiterating that this doesn’t need to be where every other play is being reviewed but a challenge or two allowed on blown penalty calls, whether something was flagged or not, is not a huge ask but it CAN cut down on some of these monumental frick ups we see by the Refs as well. Just an idea that seems to make a lot of sense to me on the surface.
