Why does the SEC hate us (and Auburn)?

[ButchPlz]

Like where?
You going to have the SEC offices in Virginia? Ohio? Indiana?...

That makes no sense.
I agree they need to be moved, but it needs to be a major city in a state with a non-traditional powerhouse or still within the footprint of the SEC.

The Big 10 uses Indianapolis and thats where their title game is held...so maybe Atlanta?
But thats close to Athens.

Totally unbiased place and kind of still close to SEC land would be Charlotte?

Atlanta wouldn't be biased toward Georgia because it's a big enough city to have alums from all over the SEC (and indeed ACC and other conferences). It would work. Certainly much better than Birmingham.

For the rest of the thread, to understand how the entire state system in Alabama works one needs to look no further than how Bear Bryant Jr. executed UAB football for no reason other than pettiness.

there is no conspiracy.
we put ourselves in a lot of positions to be affected negatively by human officials.
we get some good calls and some bad calls. Our fanbase just overreacts sometimes to the ones we don't get.

What needs to happen is that we need to play better and not make bonehead decisions at key times as well as do well enough not to put the game in the refs hands in order to win.

The idea of Auburn being a target of SEC officiating is hilarious. Yes, they've been victimized a couple of times this year. But prior to the last few weeks, Auburn spent years as the beneficiary of some insane calls. The last time an SEC crew got suspended it was Jason Autrey for throwing a game in Auburn's favor.

Was this in 1897?

Every game we get screwed by the refs. It doesn't matter what crew, or whose in the replay booth. We always get bad calls, bad spots, missed calls, made up fantasy calls. We probably have 10 more wins over the last 3-4 years if not for the refs.

And it happens to Auburn too. Just wait til the Iron bowl and I'm sure they'll get screwed more than they did against uga.

Why does this happen?

We are both rivals of bama and georgia. LSU doesn't get as many of these bad calls because they are only a rival to bama. Florida doesn't get as many because they are only a rival to georgia.

The SEC has intentionally kept us and Auburn down because it helps bama and UGA the most.

Why do we have such a better record against teams not named bama and uga? Because the SEC isn't protecting/promoting those teams. Heup would have two SEC titles by now if not for the refs.

Danny White needs to at least consider a move to a conference where we won't be so blatantly cheated in our two biggest games each year. If we went to the ACC, it would probably save their conference too.

If Vandy only has one loss coming into our game, expect the same BS calls so the SEC can get that storyline into the CFP.

The sec office is in bham and controlled by bammers!!! Case closed! The league office needs to be forcibly extracted from their grip!!! This issue is not new!

UAB's presence has nothing to do with the SEC office. Bear nixing that program was a state government issue.
