I am personally sick of reading how we were screwed. Was it an atrocious call? Yes. Did it change field position? Yes. Did it determine the outcome, no!
We had our back against the wall early, our defense responded. In the second half, bad call or not, we got outplayed, on both sides of the ball. It is Alabamas responsibility to overcome adversity, which is what that call represented. I feel the same frustration as everyone here but for Gods sake some are starting to sound like AU fans. They are the ones that whine about their circumstances. We should always be about results and WE LOST. Our future is bright though, be positive.

cheers
 
That call was only the most blatant. That crew missed calls all night long. On LSU. On Alabama. Trust me. That crew will not be officiating the SECCG.
If they are, I'll officially join the tinfoil beanie club.

I see your point Bamabake, but the fact is that if the defender had not knocked down Brown, he would had likely score a TD. Even if he hadn't a fieldgoal would have would have almost been a certainty giving us a (at least a TD lead. It was about more that field position it cost us points. I also see what you are saying about the team overcoming adversity, but c'mon, with the injuries and lack of depth at key positions a bad break means a lot more than it would to a strong healthy team. I agree with you that we got beat in second half, but the fact of the matter is if we had scored when the bad call was made, SP would have most likely never even been pinned back on our goal line, and the points their Defense got would not have happened. We would have also had the momentum. We may have still lost the game, but I like our chances a whole lot better when we are not having possession of the ball and points taken away from us, which is exactly what happened.
 
It was a 14 point swing. It changed the out come.
SEC officals still consider us cheaters, and have no
reservations about making bad calls. Like it or not
they hate us. SEC officals are the wrost in America,
no matter what level of play.
 
I am just curious if its a 14 point swing, doesnt LSU still win the game ???

Also the officiating was foul the entire game on both side, there were more holds by BOTH yes BOTH teams that went uncalled, AND the make up call you all wanted for the PI ?? How about a missed Intentional Grounding on Pennington, how was that missed.

Of course I will be called stupid, etc etc. We know the feeling about getting screwed, of course ours cost us the game (Auburn) So the SEC officials must REALLY hate us, that was the game..

Also that is a big assumption you would have scored a TD.
Did the Refs also cause your return man to fumble every kick off in the 2nd half giving you horrible field position. Did the refs knock the ball out of your QB's hands ??? Did the refs help block on the long TD runs and passes...
My point. Saying that one call bad or not cost Bama the game is absurd...


Also love the throwing of full drinks on the fans. Isnt that what you guys accuse us of?, did you happen to see the head of the lady one of the Bama fans hit in the head with a full drink ???

Not only was there a 14 point swing that changed the momentum of the game but as a result, we lost the great field position we played with for most of the 1st half. Brandon Brooks two dogged kickoffs didn't help any and all those 3 and outs with our backs against the goal line wore our defense completely out. LSU wouldn't have had those last TDs if our defense had been playing with a long field at their backs instead of in the shadow of our own goal line. That call was the most obvious pass interference "no-call" I've seen in the modern era. Somebody's on the take and it's really screwed up that Alabama, the team that put SEC football on the freakin' map get's as little respect as we do from the conference admin. and the officials. We would have won that game outright on a level playing field, no question about it.
 
It was a big swing

If the interference is called, it will be 1st and goal at the 2.. Assuming we score then it is 17-6 and we are kicking off. Now does that assure us of a win, no.... but it does affect signicantly how LSU plays and also how UA plays. You don't have to blitz so much and take risks which we were doing alot at the end resulting in long plays. LSU is not the best come from behind team... It was a hugh play for a team playing without a lot of options....
 
O.K. just so I understand, the pass interference call or No Call which I agree was a bad call. was the ONLY reason LSU won the game, it wasnt the Addai, or the fumbles on the kick off by the Bama KR. It wasnt LSU's defense in the 4th quarter, it wasnt the fumble by Pennington, it wasnt Broussards 2 runs of plus 40, it wasnt Addias move on the flare pass TD, It wasnt Marcus Spears playing one of the best games. It was because the SEC office and the officials get together before the game and make sure they do what they can to make sure Bama never wins a football game.



O.K. I understand now...

"LSU wouldn't have had those last TDs if our defense had been playing with a long field at their backs instead of in the shadow of our own goal line."

Umm did you watch that game ? Might want to look at the stats, both those TDs I believe were over 40 yard scampers one was over 50, fact is if the stands did not stop Addia he would still be running....


LSU did not even score on that play. LSU handed you the ball on the 45 to start the 2nd half. I guess the refs also made sure Bama could not score on a short field... LSU's defense had nothing to do with this win.

Lets see, here we are, the day after a tough loss, where a controversial non-call, while not necessarily affecting the ultimate outcome of the game, certainly changed field position, and likely kept Alabama from having a decent chance of winning the game, and some LSU fan, knowing all this, chooses to come on here and spar with the posters.

I'm just left with one question - is he ignorant, or just an arse?
 
Texastigers,
And you poor little boys weren't *****ing at the b.s. call in the AU game either. Get real.
The no call definitely took points off the board from us. Addai had two long runs but even with those he did not get 100 yards. Even the announcers mentioned how it affected the game in the fact that after that point we were starting inside our on 10. Not mentioned was the hold on our receiver on the play that Spencer fumbled. The announcers mentioned that also. I guess to you that would not have meant much eother. Why don't you go to your own boards and talk about how great you are instead of trying to insult us.
 
Well...

Normally he's a pretty level-headed poster who realizes that an opponent's board the day after a game including a call like that is not really the right place to argue...
 
TIDE-HSV,
I think someone must have taken over Texastigers call name. I can't believe that he would come here and start talking trash either.

Yeh no I got it, LSU won because the Refs hate Bama and wanted LSU to win.
LSU players had no role in actually winning the game. They are lucky and I am thankful we have the refs in our pocket.

No, LSU has talent and took advantage of situations, like great field position on Bama special teams blunders. I give LSU credit for taking the game over in the second half. But, the call (or obvious no call) was a very big blow to Bama's chances of winning at Baton Rouge. At the very least, if the PI call had been made, we probably come away with some points and a much closer and entertaining football game.

Bama fans cannot claim with certainty that the no call determined the final outcome, just as LSU fans cannot claim with certainty that it didn't. Therein lies the problem . . . an otherwise good SEC slugfest gets tainted by another blatant officiating mistake.
 
I personally knew the game would be over after the no-call. The field position flipped out of our hands and LSU took all of the momentum and we never regained our composure but lets move on its Auburn week. In my opinion that was one of the worst non calls ive ever seen though. ALA- Miami/OSU National Championship game.
 
Well done...

MC and Tsunami, both. TT's OK. I know how he feels - that everyone was trying to take away from the accomplishment of his team in jumping on top on of the break and taking advantage of it. He'll be all right. Our only chance was to play in front and maintain field position and the bad call took that away from us. We did not react well to the call, but, end of the day, there's still quite a gap in talent between LSU and Bama. That's OK - we'll recruit our way out of it...
 
I don't see why this should pit fans from either school against each other. It is ashame that the officials had to blow such a blatant call. LSU should be angry at the call because it takes away from their victory and we have a right to be angry because it may very well have been the difference in the game. It was neither teams fault, it was the officials. Anytime the officials influence the outcome of a game it ruins a hard fault game.
