    I was at the game and everyone in the stadium could see several calls the refs "missed". I agree that the SEC refs are the worst out og the six big leagues.

    That was when Wroten got tackled in the end zone towards the end of the 4th quarter. The ref reached for his flag to the point that I celebrated getting a hold in the endzone - which would have been 2 points. But the flag was never thrown.

    I think they were pretty lenient on holds all game as LSU either had some great blocks or questionable no calls on hold. I tend to lean toward the great blocks but complaining now is dumb. We won.

    What would not be entertaining at all would be a game where the refs decided they had enough of this bickering and complaining, and decided to call every foul. The game would never finish, no one would score, and people would boo the officials for calling the game correctly.

    Ok i guess it's ok to come out and say it now. I paid them all off. total of ten bucks to be divided between them. I wanted to give Bama a fair shot at winning. :dis:

    Sorry but you could not pay refs to be as bad as SEC refs.

    That's the one that stands out to me too, but I'm happy with the way things turned out regardless. Any win is great, but it doesn't get any better than winning a big game in OT on the road. Drama

    I dont guess you guys saw the EXACT same play happen in the opposite endzone but it should have been Russell to be sacked and dropped for a safety but the hold wasnt' called....It happened in the first half. Oh btw, he rolled out and threw for about 35 yards.

    I even had an LSU turn to me, smile and say "It's not holding unless you get caught"!
