I just rewatched the LSU-Tenn game and it just reminded me how many times we got the crap end of the stick last year. That punt definitely hit the Tennessee player's wrist, the announcer even said everyone in the studio thought so. Then there's the Auburn game and the countless calls that we got jammed on. Last year we got absolutely skewered by the refs. We down-right DESERVE all the calls this year, I don't care how blatant they are, I'll take 'em. Just watching that Tennessee thing made my blood boil all over again and we WON that game! I'd probably implode if I rewatched the Auburn game. Look, I'm all for "leaving no doubt" but sometimes games are close and calls can play a huge role. I want them all this year, all of them I tell you! I want to hear Aubies, Bammers, etc... crying for weeks about some screw job. end of rant. PS: and that holding call vs Florida one more thing before I forget. The first penalty called on the Vols in that game was that ridiculous hit on Buster Davis as he tried to field a punt... That happened midway through the 3rd freakin quarter. Yea, some would say I'm bitter.
There really were a lot of poor calls against us last year. I can only think of one call in our favor, and that was versus UT when they called it a dead ball even though it appeared JaMarcus had fumbled it.
It's the SEC. The home team always gets the close calls, especially if the replay official is involved.
there's a youtube clip floating around of a montage of all the calls vs AU. it makes me angry. there were a few more in the Fla game but we didn't deserve to win that one anyway. a few calls in tenn also, but i agree that the JR fumble could've went either way.
I figured out why LSU got all of those calls against them this past year. That no call in the endzone during the 2004 Alabama LSU i've never seen a WR get mugged so bad and there be no call. And for some reason its not on youtube.
And you looked so hard for it. http://tidefans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59601 If you want to see it that bad I probably have it taped at home. Let me know and I'll convert it to MPG for you.
theres no link anywhere i'll bet my avatar on it if anyone can find a link not created today i'll change my avatar to a LSU one until Alabama beats LSU. Personally i think that the touchdown would have at the least given Alabama some momentum but who knows. I still wonder why it was pulled off youtube.
