Will LSU be next victim?

[Volizona]

LSU plays at Bama this Saturday. LSU has 2 loses so they are unlikely to be a playoff team. LSU seems to have a pretty explosive offense and a Heisman candidate at QB. If LSU gets off to a great start and Bama starts drowning, will LSU get the “UT Treatment” with the refs? If our theory is correct, the SEC will do everything possible to “protect” Bama as a one loss team and the best path in the West for another playoff spot, right? If LSU wins, they would be less likely to make the playoffs, right? Will any of you be watching this game closely to see how the refs call it? Will you be surprised if Bama gets calls that influence the game? How far do you think the SEC would go to try and fix a game as necessary? What if LSU gets more calls in their favor? Would that make you stop thinking games are fixed?

The answer is yes

I am sorry for them, but, yes, I think your hypothesis will be proven out, and LSU will be victimized by corrupt officiating as bad as we were. We'll see.

LSU will get the shaft

I had a long, all scenarios considered, post typed out. Then I realized how silly that was.

The answer is yes.

LSU has to come out and blast the doors off them so bad the refs realize it’s not salvageable.

I doubt it will as bad as ours. There will be many more eyes on this game. I still cannot fathom the calls they made against us. It's like bama went into halftime with 11 players and came out with 18 (11+7 officials). It was obvious to everyone. Even to casual observers that are not Tennessee fans it was obvious. Absolutely the worst I have ever seen. They even used instant replay as a weapon against us. It was bad.

Kelly folds like a cheap lawn chair in pressure situations.

He’ll lose again and I’ll smile.

Don't forget that Missouri is playing in Athens too. Another screw job coming....

Yep, I'd think that plenty of those special Sankey hankeys are dry-cleaned and waiting for LSU and Mizzery this weekend.

Probably won’t be necessary for the refs to get involved in that one. Missouri is about to be reminded of their place in the SEC.

Yea. I don't think the refs will flag a team to victory, but a few well timed flags and non calls will usually be enough to give needed help. Gotta make the other team look so bad that there's not enough help to give from refs.

Whoa easy there. I wasn't saying that it was. I simply found it funny that nobody was crazy about the idea

LSU has a pitiful defense. It’s very difficult to win big games on the road with a great offense & pitiful defense.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

So just to be clear. The only reason Bama will win another conference game is because Saban owns the refs right?

First, Bama owns the SEC, so yes they will get the calls necessary to win the game.
