Miles should address this with the SEC officials, but in private. If you take it public, the refs hate you for life, you are marked. There is a right way and a wrong way to do things, going public does not help. A quiet official protest is in order. Bottom line, SEC needs to improve its officiating. I don't know how much these guys get paid by the SEC, and how much time they spend training, reviewing close calls on film to see if they get it right, but they need to do more.
Please don't hold anything back - Tell us how ya really feel... I agree, I think the NCAA doesn't want a SEC team involved in the national championship. Could the NCAA be quietly doing something behind closed doors? It looked like from the first snap that the ref's were on Auburn's side. Fact is LSU outplayed Auburn and they know it. Did you see the ****-eaten grins on thier face after the win? They know they got lucky. Cause if LSU played auburn 10 times. LSU would win 8 of em. Nuff Said. I am going re-stock the fridge of beer and gonna hope the Saints beat the crap out of green bay. Other wise my weekend is gonna SUCK.
You don't call them out on TV and whine like Stoops or Meyers. You pull a Saban and tear them a new @sshole. You fight for your players and the injustice that occured on the field. Your players see that and will fight harder for the team if the coach is going to bat for his players. Miles should do this for his players. He should've chewed their @ss with Hester fumble, the helmet to helmet on Hester out of bounds, the mugging of Lafell in the endzone, the Early phantome PI call.
You think yelling at the refs is pointless? Check out what the Auburn players did on that pass interference play against them: "There were a lot of our players yelling at the officials to get their attention," Brock said. "They did a great job changing their minds without even having to review it." Now if thats not begging a call or being influenced one way, then I don't know what is. I mean...they made the announcement to the fans and I went crazy, then the next thing you know...they reverse it and change there minds? Can you really do that? It's not reviewable right?
And how is there tip ball different from Jesse Daniels interception??? Should Daniels have tipped it instead? Those two plays were identical but both went Auburn's way! hmmm?? rig all the way!
It's like watching the refs steal money from your wallet and you can't do a damn thing about it. Sorry I just had to get that off my chest. GEAUX TIGERS! We'll still have a great season....I would just like to see some more emotion out of Miles. It seemed as though he had that emotion and aggression coming in here from OSU. Has he gone soft?
maybe you guys have a different perception of leadershp. you want a screaming, quivering, red-faced, eyes-bulging coach? take orgeron. i'm sure ole pi$$ wouldn't mind. give me a coach that's calm under pressure, that his men can have a quiet confidence in, one who doesn't rattle each time adversity steps in his path.
Miles got upset and shouted at the refs quite a few times during the game. The Late Hits on Hester I specifically remember him getting in the Refs face. But he stayed calm for most of the game which I like. Why should coaches be afraid to call out BAD Refs? If it's such a monopoly that Refs will "hold it against us 'FOREVER'" then that's a serious problem with officiating now. Bad calls happen, but all game long, all one sided, and all on VERY important plays is not normal and should be called out for how bad it was. Also, Meyers might have seen the LSU game, saw what happened there, and wanted to man up so his team didn't recieve the same shafting.
