Why play LSU?

To avenge last year's loss? Because we all love to watch Gator football? Because Kyle Trask and Kyle Pitts are awesome? To make the trailer trash in Louisana sad? To give some of the younger players experience?

I could be coming out of the fog of a six-month coma and come up with at least a dozen right off the top of my head. What the hell kind of question is this?

The extra numbers for Trask will help his Heisman pursuit, and in case of the remote possibility that we lose to Bama and miss the CFP, the extra SEC win may boost our bowl standing a little. Plus we can rub it in Seminhole faces that we play every opponent on our schedule.

Do you seriously care who we play if we lose to Bama? Maybe if we could play scUM I'd be interested, but sure as hell won't care about our "standing" as one of the top losers in the country 3 years running. Maybe we can have Bridesmaid Bracelets made up for the team that say New Years Six Champions.

You're a 'Bama fan so I get it.

Since 1990, Florida is usually the most penalized team in the SEC. This has held true over many different coaching staffs. 'Bama is consistently the least penalized team in the SEC, again this hold true over many different coaching staffs. Why doesn't this balance out over time as relative on-field success and coaching staffs change?

Everybody was cheating in the 80's. Only Florida had an SEC title stripped and nearly got the death penalty. 'Bama was paying players and got a stern talking to (again, and again, and again).

The SEC is based in Birmingham.

Birmingham.

C'mon man.

I will also add that Auburn has a lucky horseshoe shoved up its ass. I've never seen more weird bad calls snatch victory from the jaws of defeat for any team more than Auburn. It happens with uncanny regularity.

That first video is the best. You can see where the player was down, then watch the official look back over his shoulder to see where the first down marker was before adjusting the spot accordingly.

Spectacular stadium though. I've never actually been to prison, but between the facilities at Legion, and the pristine surroundings of Birmingham, I feel like I took the field trip.


*btw, make a derogatory comment about the Vet and you and I will have words.

I don't know any of these clips well enough to know what year they're from, but the 2009 game between Lsu and Alabama was loaded with bad calls as well. I was working with a few O&G companies in LA, and I've never seen a group of people as angry as they were, specifically regarding an INT that was ruled incomplete along the sidelines. I heard about it and was forwarded clips like these for weeks. I'm no corndog fan, but it was bad. I didn't really care at the time, but in retrospect it may have changed a lot about the last decade or so.

What can I say about the Vet it is the perfect place to hold convicts, has it's own court house and judge. It even likes to take out it's own quarterbacks. I heard it's a great place for Santa for visit and to have snowball fights.

The only solution is to move the conference office to Atlanta where it belongs.
Until that happens nothing will change as long as everyone that works in the
building is wearing crimson

The UF/LSU game is basically meaningless, amIright? The gators will have the SECe locked up with the win over UT this week so the only thing that could happen by playing LSU would be the potential for injury before the SECCG. It appears that the SEC decided that the LSU/Bama game was more important than the Arkansas/Bama game because they seem to have dumped Arkansas and put LSU in that slot. I had heard that we would then play Arkansas on Dec. 12 but now I can't find that anywhere so it seems that we may have a week off before playing the Gators for the SECCG.
Because we can't go on the attack against a Covid depleted Nolie team, accusing them of of being cowards, and then come up with excuses for wimping out on a game against LSU?
