Thank you! We got absolutely hosed in that one. The refs just decided to take a knee back when taking a knee was cool

Patrick Peterson interception comes to mind.

All holding calls that never got called against Bama.

I could go on and on.

Take basically any Bama/LSU game. You got the Corey Webster no call mugging in the endzone. The fake Eric Reid interception in the GOTC. Right down to that really scary, dirty targeting hit that was called off last year. It’s pretty clear the zebras always try to keep LSU in the game. Fortunately, it’s usually not enough.

Speaking of Alabama-LSU games, this one from 15 years ago comes to mind:

The weirdest bad officiated game State has ever had was against BYI in 2001.

State had stomped their arse in Provo the year before, and the 9/11 attacks moved the game to the first week of December. What was unexpected was BYU was undefeated and trying to get into the BCS discussion.

State had a disappointing year after starting out ranked, they were 3-7, but five of their seven losses were by 6 points or less, so it wasn't like the 3-7 teams of the Croom era, State had some decent players they were just snakebit.

All that to say that despite the records, there was a significant gap of talent on the field. MSU could have stomped them again in a fair fight. Instead, we get the worst officiated game in MSU history with Mountain West officials not even trying to hide their bias when it was apparent that this was going to be a close game.

BYU won 41-38. The next week, Hawaii blew BYU out of the water, and Louisville beat them in the Liberty Bowl.

He was held out the entire game.

This bogus first down call that extended Florida’s game winning drive against us in 2009 coupled with phantom personal foul call on Malcolm Sheppard got Marc Curles and crew suspended for multiple weeks.

You forgot "the kick" (Missouri/Nebraska 1997)


Nah, I was standing right next to the end zone when that happened, and even I don't think you can make a call that the guy was intentionally kicking the ball (and he was, but that's hindsight and after watching it slowed down). Still ripped my heart out, but the PI call on Acy last year vs KY was a way worse call, albeit way less consequential.

There was that time PP7 caught that interception. And then the one a few years later where LSU got a personal foul for pushing someone in the shoulder pads one second after whistle to dismantle a sure win. And then that one where the best defensive player in the nation was held out for a half for touching the opposing QB.

These all gave _______ a decided advantage.



Why do your AD and coach allow it to continue?

1983 Bama vs Penn State...Alabama threw a TD pass with 2 seconds left but it was ridiculously ruled incomplete. One of the worst calls I've ever seen. The ref is right on top of the receiver whose left foot is about a yard in bounds when he catches the ball.Later we found out that the ref that made that call was Mike Guman's uncle.

Duke-Miami Kickoff was the most egregious.


00:00 meant quit reffing to the refs.

Oregon vs OU 2006


That was unreal and wrong on so many levels.

1. Oregon touched the kick before it went 10 yards

2. Oklahoma recovered it

Refs gave Oregon the ball anyways. Worst call I've ever seen.

Alabama vs Clemson 2016 season

Two obvious pick plays that were not called gave Clemson the game.
