Romulan Territorial Range is just west of the Neutral Zone. It's even got a Stuckey's.

Nicely done Alabama. You hung in there at the very end when it looked hopeless, and won. Kudos to ya'll. You field a defense with NFL players.

AA always predicts Bammer to lose. Where the fuck have you been.

Nice to see the occasional defensive struggle these days.

I thought the personal foul against LSU after the fumble was pretty weak - what say you guys?

Yeah, probably. There are always calls missed and others that are ticky-tack. An LSU player depantsed a Bama player, which is an unsportsmanlike. No call.

Further, when LSU downed it on the one on the punt, his momentum carried him into the end zone. Should have been a touchback and earlier had a LSU DB literally hold the hand of a Bama WR preventing an easy TD. Again, no call or wrong call.

You play through the refs and the weather.

You have to admit that one was pretty hard to see. It took a slow motion replay to have a clue because WR and DB are always hand-fighting anyway.

No doubt it was hard to see. It was still viewable by the official though, but he was focused on the ball.

Anyway, pointing it out was not lamenting that it was missed. I'm not crying about it. It's football. You go with what the official sees or doesn't see and work through bad or missed calls. And those bad or missed calls happen on both sides of the ball. - that was my point.

Ref blaming is one of my pet peeves.

I agree completely on ref blaming - and since I had Bama -6.5 I can assure you I was glad it was called.

That felt too much like a ref interjecting himself needlessly into the game (which is one of my pet peeves) - moreso than just a judgement call that could go either way.

I typically don't blame the refs, but you can't not go crazy when something like the Jasper Sanks non fumble happens.

it wasn't the call.

it was the LSU kicker shanking it out of bounds on the kickoff with 50 seconds to go. That's on Les, not on the Nicktator or the refs.

Complaining about refs is okay to a point (we've had some horrible calls and no calls this year too). But there is a line that, if you cross it, you are a Tennessee fan.

Very true. But, Tennessee does a have legitimate gripe about Jabar Gaffney's TD...

See, even you called it a TD.

Everyone gets to have one game to bemoan refs, but just one. All others get dropped when you adopt one. The 2003 Swindle in the Swamp will be mine.

No. Bama has had those games. An OT celebration call against Arkansas. But nah, let it go. It doesn't change anything, and makes you look like a whiner.

For being the nation's premier CFB conference, the SEC has some of the worst refs anywhere.

AA, how badly do you predict Bama will lose this Saturday?
