    I just think they've said that too much. I honestly believe if this was the first bad call of the year, they would have admitted to the mistake.

    Obviously there are a whole bunch of eyes that are beholdin this controversy, with the exception of the SEC and the SEC officials. I guess that just can't see the forest thru the trees due to their own agenda. What's it gonna take for them to fix what the whole country see's as broken?

    theyve said too much the wrong direction. if they said they will address concerns that coaches have at the end of the year, review officiating crews, orr something like that, to at least acknowledge that there may be a problem, it wouldnt look like they are sweeping the elephant under the rug.

    the way it stands now, it looks like they are just trying to stifle dissent or ignore that there is a problem.

    Sure....to us. Look around, we're the only ones still talking about this. The national media has moved on. Had they admitted a mistake, this would be a bigger issue than it is. It's all PR at this point.

    I agree. Suspending that official team only made the criticism worse. Now everybody expects the SEC to take action on bad calls and they just do not want to go there.

    This crap is nothing new to LSU-Bama. I believe it was the 1968 game which Little Joe broke a 80 yard TD with less than two minutes left in the game. It was called back due to one of the officials not being ready or in his correct spot.
