Do you believe in the SEC conspiracy?

[VOLS INC.]

No guarantee LSU wins the game but it makes it impossible when you have to beat the elephants and the zebras.The last thing i want to believe is that their is a conspiracy going on to ensure a Florida-Alabama sec champ game.
BUT...after alabama only got penalized one time for 10 yds when it was so evident that Dan Williams was getting held all game and they blew two block in the back calls.. yet we get penalized 9 times, i at least acknowledged it as a possibility.

After the Florida-miss st game when it was so evident that the Florida CB dropped the ball before the ball crossed the goal line. they went to replay and came back and said florida scored? I really started to give it some thought.

AND after the bama/lsu game when at first glance i thought the lsu CB got three feet in, after replay i concluded it wasn't three feet but he got 2 down,only needing one, and then the ref comes out and says the ruling on the field stands. MY JAW DROPPED. I am embarrassed for the SEC.This Is Unacceptable.

I'm so excited about the way the vols are playing right now and i can't wait for next year, we are on our way, BUT are we gonna get screwed out of a possible SEC championship birth next yr like LSU did this yr.

Message to slive-If you are lucky enough to keep your job you cheating,evil,piece of sh***.You better not try to screw us the way you have screwed over LSU this year or you will have a nation of vol fans ready to attack. that's only if coach orgeron doesn't rip his shirt off and go incredible hulk on you first

Money and the idiots who deal with it = deception and the need for power and control.

no i don't believe it is a conspiracy, but do i feel like the zebra's have heard the hype of bama and florida for the last several seasons, yes. do i feel like some if not most calls have gone those two team's ways, than yes. but i have a bigger gripe with camera angles. if there is going to be instant replay reviews than proper camera angles need to be in place to ensure that the right call is made. too many calls have been made that may or may not have been able to be over turned if there was a camera angle for example that was matched up with the goal line or along the side lines. no excuse for not being able to cover the goal line or side lines properly. i am not going to say it is a conspiracy, but more of lucky breaks going to the wrong teams due to pathetic evidence used for reviews. how hard is it to have some stationary cameras that focus solely on goal lines and side lines? i am no camera man or producer, but this is not the first controversial call along the boundary of play that needed video confirmation.

[orangeblooded2]

Hey, BP how it going?

I have to disagree on the Camera angle assessment, indeed if anything the angles show the reason for all the hyperbole. It is stupefying that anything so on the money visually can be so ignored or dismissed and presented as fact, and defended as so by the best league in football. Totally perceived as duplicity by most fans anywhere.

Can the angles be better or improved, yes they can. But with what we have It simply rings true.

Almost forgot these stats.

Close games florida was in this yr against SEC TEAMS

FLORIDA/ARKANSAS-ARKANSAS penalized 10 times for 92 yards FLORIDA 3 times for 16 yards.

FLORIDA/LSU-LSU 9flags for 64 yards FLORIDA 6 for 45

Close games bama was in this yr against SEC TEAMS

BAMA/TN- TN 8 hankies 68yards BAMA 1 for 10

BAMA/LSU-LSU 8 yellows for 43yards BAMA 4 for 20

BAMA And Florida more disciplined football teams you say: CHECK THIS OUT.
Taking these games out of the equation each teams average penalties and penalty yds against oppenents other than these close games are as follows.

VOLS AVG 4.7 pen a game for 35 yds: vs bama 8-68
BAMA AVG 6.5 pen a game for 59 yds: vs Tenn 1-10

LSU AVG 5.1 pen a game for 42 yds: vs bama 8-43
BAMA AVG 6.5 pen a game for 59 yds: vs LSU 4-20

ARK AVG 6.5 pen a game for 55 yds: vs FLA 10-92
FLA AVG 6.5 pen a game for 51 yds: vs ARK 3-16

LSU AVG 5.1 pen a game for 42 yds: vs FLA 9-64
FLA AVG 6.5 pen a game for 51 yds: vs LSU 6-45

Penalties don't always cost a team a game but this does seem just a little bit fishy to me.

Ok, first off, I have the whole X-files series on DVD. Having been influenced by 9 seasons of quality Sci-fi, I have to say that no there is no conspiracy going on.

However, it is possible that an alien race that has been coexisting with humans for hundreds of thousands of years in the form of a black oil has finally began to infiltrate the SEC officials in their ultimate goal to have an Alabama-Florida rematch in the SEC championship game. This is difficult to prove though because... well, nevermind. We don't know if "they" are listening.

My jaw went nowhere. It is exactly what I expected. Another call that went the way of the team that would make the SEC more money. I don't believe the conspiracy, but I'm close... Very close.

[RespectfulGator]

The instant replay reviews have been bad, but I have seen them bad all over the place. The Iowa one last week may have been the worst one of the bunch.

If the conspiracy theory is true then someone forgot to tell the refs at the Vandy game. We had 9 penalties for 70 yards, and they had 2 for 15.

Slive just said that the next person who posts about the inept officials will be pm'd a reprimand & fined $2.

To keep the conspiracy going: The Vandy game penalties were just the SEC trying to veil the conspiracy by calling loads of penalties in a game where they knew the Gators would not be tested in an attempt to look unbiased.

I see you omitted the UF/UT game. I thought that was a close one.

I may be changing my opinion to pro-conspiracy just because it seems a lot more fun than non-conspiracy.

I would have said "never" before this season but after the interception call in the LSU/Bama game even I am starting to wonder...

[Jake Tate]

the LSU interception bs last night. Both feet got in, he dragged his feet and tucked the ball. If I were a tiger, i'd be pissed.
