The root of all evil

[loosecannon]

Very true, but LUST is probably a more accurate term.

I was just quoting the actual verse. But, I think the connotation of lust fits the intent of this iteration of love perfectly.

Your conspiracy tinfoil hat crap needs to go man. Just accept it for what it is. We lost. Stop blaming the freaking refs. Refs didn’t cost us the game. Heupels bad coaching did and the fact that we lost to a better team.

Tin foil hat is Alabama last year when they accuse the ref of celebrating after calling a penalty. Penalties which Alabama did in fact commit.

Tennessee complaining about a ref from Tuscaloosa, with a facebook page showing a child wearing an Alabama shirt, reffing an Alabama home game and only calling one obvious false start is NOT tin foil hat. For sure, it was a few bone headed calls by Heupel and an inept QB that contributed to the loss. BUT the blatant one-sided officiating was definitely a contributing factor.

is always money. The motivation for corrupt refs fixing Bama’s games is clearly about greedy people getting richer, but can someone educate me on how this works? So the SEC makes a lot more $$$ if SEC teams make the playoffs, right? Ok I get that, but why is Bama so protected? They really aren’t that great of a team this year. We are the power players so motivated to protect Bama? Tennessee only had 1 loss going into yesterdays game just like Bama. Does the SEC think we are too risky to protect - we are more likely to slip up and lose again? Is it really just about protecting the few teams that have the easiest path to the playoffs? It can’t be about viewership or fans traveling. You can’t tell me that Bama travels better than UT or has more viewership. In fact, most people I know hate Bama and won’t even watch the playoffs if they are in it because they know they are corrupt. The first time Georgia played Bama in the championship, I think it was 2017- I still remember that there were several calls that clearly favored Bama. Towards the end of the game, Fromm got thrown on the ground well after the play was over. The ref was right there and refused to throw a flag (I don’t like GA either, but was amazed at this). Back to my question- why does everyone get richer when Bama wins and why is everyone so terrified to speak out against a tiny little man (Saban) and corrupt refs? Is the mob involved? Are lives being threatened? Why is a backwards, podunk state so powerful? How are they generating so much cash?

Not money

But the lust for money...

Money is not inherently evil as St judes is an easy example of how money can do great and amazing things.

The desire for personal gain via money is the real evil.
