Auburn's replay booth pissed some Arky fans off last year.

Ok, y'all can have the TD that you may have scored if interference had been called. LSU still wins by 9.

And you can have the PP7 "int" as well and LSU still loses.

Is it a situation where the same teams are complaining or at the end of the game both sides feel shafted?
Some games are just awful compared to others, overall quality of the officials just hasn't been very good.

It is annoying watching SEC games on Saturday and expecting to see a handful of WTF calls in the games.

Normally it happens to both sides though, like I said some of the crews just suck.

I didn't say they wouldn't have. The person I responded to said the no interference no call "cost Bama the game". I only told the Aggie to research the PP interception to see some good stuff.

Letting aTm into the conference was extremely disappointing.

Not kicking out Arky is kind of pissing me off too.

I'm disappointed that Slive didn't raise more of a stink in 2004 when Auburn was left out of the BCS title game.

Alabama gets favored by refs, but the REC is a tradition as old as the SEC itself. Other than that each school is treated pretty equally. Media attention is higher for Alabama, Florida, LSU, Tennessee, and Auburn for the past several years, but that has all to do with recent successes and nothing to do with conference politics

Slive is a slime ball, you will soon learn that. It ticks me off that he's messing with tradition by expanding the conference, especially to include mediocre teams such as A&M who've won their conference championship one time and are 2-14 in bowl games over their last 20 seasons, not having won one since 2002. There's no need to expand the best conference in college football. It doesn't matter that the others expand when the SEC has won the last 5 national championships and 7 of the 13 BCS championships. The ACC adds nothing by adding Syracuse and Pitt. There's simply no need for A&M or anyone else for the SEC to stay the best. Sorry if that hurts anyone's feelings, it's the truth.

Doesn't hurt my feelings. I'm going to assume you're not a business man though.

Truth. But A&M to the SEC was a possibility 20 years ago before things were so money-driven. A&M does bring a shload of money along, as well as a presence in the state of Texas for recruiting, a fanatical fan base, etc. Even if A&M didn't have the intangibles, the money alone would make it worth it.

by allowing yall in. i thought that was obvious. it is going to ruin all of our permanent opponents. and if missouri comes in then its going to force auburn to the east.

this may not be a big deal to you, but it's a very big deal to us.

This helps A&M more than anyone else. There is already a wealth of talent in Florida,Georgia,Alabama,Louisiana,etc. I think winning five straight championships proves that the SEC isn't hurting for talent.

Not to me. Alabama's athletic department is already the 2nd most profitable in the nation.
