The Bodda Getta

Lol maybe so, but not as much as a few peeps on Tigerdropings.

I do realize that every SEC team and thier fanbase will always find a few of the official's calls from their previous week's game very questionable, but I've never seen an officiating crew be so blatantly one sided on how they called a game like what I witnessed during last friday's Iron Bowl. My father was an official for 20+ years in Louisiana before hanging up his whistle when he moved back to Alabama. He was the head official for Lousiana state highschool football games/playoffs and he even officiated an occasional college game at every collegiate level there. I asked him how he felt about the officiating for friday's Iron Bowl and he felt very similar to how the game was run as I do. If a baseball umpire behind the plate has a particular strikezone they like to call for a game, they should always be consistent with how they calls balls and strikes. They can change their stikezone a little from game to game but the balls and stikes should always be consistent for that given day just to be fair for both teams involved. It's the same way in football or any other sporting event. I'm not someone that believes there is some major conspiracy going down against Auburn University, well unless it involves Bammer maybe haha. I'm just stating some unusal facts about the officiating for friday's Iron Bowl that others posted on different forums and my own personal thoughts about a few of the things that I found strange about the officiating on friday too. I'm sure the Auburn coaching staff will find quite a few more things than the obvious ones I've pointed out here to gripe about with Mike Slive and the Dean of Officials for the SEC once they actually get a chance to observe the film for themselves. Just some food for thought for the week ahead.

I just ran across this post on a Bammer board and thought I'ld share it with everyone here, because this has to be one of the ridiculous posts by a Bammer fan I've ever read. I'm still laughing.

"Remember in 2009 Bama started 13 seniors that were recruited by Shula. We are now viewing Nicky's recruits on the field. Looks like the story may be different when he plays with his own recruits."

I agree we got some unfavorable spots during the game, I also agree that Fairley was targeted for the GA game and the after game whining that went on. I do feel the ref's called it both ways though. :)

War Damn Eagle!

All good info, but one oversight I've either missed or it hasn't been discussed. On every play when we had the ball the back judge placed the ball then stood over it for as many as 7 to 10 seconds which allowed alafumble to line up. Then and only then did he move.....did it time and time again.
