That we are cursed and Chizik sold his soul to the devil. It was those two things that made therefs get lazy at the end of the game andput theirheads up their asses. They really sucked the last four minutes of the game. First the bad spot. Then the bad first down call with that spot. Then theRefs not watching to see if the coach was trying to call time out. I know we got the time back but that alone is proof they were not putting their best efforts on the field. The missed Ballard touch down. Off subject a little. You can bet you sweet *** if it was any other team in the West other then State and Ole Miss, that helmet to helmet call earlier in the game would not have been called. I can't tell you how many times LSU has gotten away with that hit. Remember the hit on Norwood. That was 100 times worse then the one yesterday but no call. That was 200 years ago it seem but I still remember it. Watch how many tmes LSU does it Thursday. I guarantee it doesn't get called. Too many bad calls by SEC official during every sport. They are horrible. The sad part is it seem's that the bad calls are always going against us or Ole Miss.</p>

has got to put the ball in the endzone. We are never going to be successful relying on the officials to call it the way we think it should be called.

When it comes down to the final seconds and the game is on the line, our team has to win the game.

Truth of the matter is:

We were as piss poor on defense as we have been in a while. We tackled poorly and were constantly out of position.

We were as piss poor on our kick off coverage as we were last year. Here we are a year later that our coverage has not improved, even a little.

Our clock management and play calling when it mattered left a lot to be desired. Lots of head scratching at the end of the game. Why go under center? Why not attempt a pass? Why not pitch the ball? Why, why, why?

Bottom line, when it mattered, we didn't get it done. Yeah, the officiating sucked, but we damn well know the officiating is going to rarely go our way and that is something we have to get passed and play through.

For whatever reason, when the game is on the line and the final seconds are ticking off, our coaching staff's gets more nervous than a ***** in church and we completely lose our identity.

On a side note, you cannot question going with Relf for the run on the last play, he had not been stopped at the line of scrimmage all day. The truth is, there should have been a pass play prior to allowing Relf that last carry. There is no excuse for calling a running play with 10 seconds left on the clock and extra downs to play with.

Either way, we suit up again Thursday and play maybe the best defense in college football. We are going to have to have our defense step up and make some plays because we won't put up these gaudy offensive numbers against the meows we face Thursday.

situation last summer coupled with the overwhelming national perception that the SEC is willing to sacrifice education,break any and all recruiting rules etc etc etc to win is what I think about when I hear so many here so flippantly suggest certain ACC schools coming to the SEC. The SEC is a shallow , corrupt (albeit powerful)organization that I just don`t think everyone wants to be a part of just for the money.

You don't have luck like that without a little help. Of course, who needs the devil when you have refs.

Dan needs to learn this.....hell, even Croom (Mr. Alabama himself) learn that and said so (I think).
