Eli and Jeff are talking about how the screw job was in. Jeff said it's obvious the SEC is trying to get KY a #1 seed.</p>

because (1) UK wouldlikely be a 1 seed even with a loss to State; (2) There is usually an insignificant competitivedifference between being a 1 or 2 seed; and, (3) The SEC wants as many conferenceteams in the NCAA field as possible and with State possibly on the bubblea State win over UK would be preferable if the SEC was "fixing" the game.Is applyinglogic too difficult or are conspiracypossibilities just more fun?

Imagine that...a Bama fan not understanding a conspiracy theory.

How long has it been since your last holding call again now?

Makes too much sense. Obviously, the SEC wants UK to be a No. 1 seed. Why, I have no idea, because it would make no difference if they were a 1 or 2. But they do, and that's the end of it.

Explain to me how Bama went undefeated last season in football again? Didn't your offensive line become the unit who never got called for holding?

I'm not jumping on the conspiracy theory bandwagon just yet. I really doubt the refs were working to get KY a #1 seed, but I do think that because it's KY...the refs call the game differently. Intentional or not, I don't know...but clearly there were a number of ******** calls at the end of the game that all benefited KY.

John Wall is, as we all know, the Second Coming. We've heard every talking dickhead on ESPN saying how great he is, maybe the best ever... So you just KNOW when he bumps into someone while the ball is in his hands -- it's obviously a foul on the other guy. And when he hammers a guy's arms and ends up with the ball in his hands, that's because of his quick hands. Michael Jordan never got called for a charge or a push-off in his career and here he is again, incarnate, on the hardwood.

He doesn't 'push off'... He 'creates space'.

He doesn't 'goal tend'... He 'closes tremendously on defense.'

I think you are on to it Meoff. Especially, with the talent gap in last nights game. When a guy is 6" taller than you. He is simply not going to get called for a foul if he blocks a shot or two. WHen the shorter guy blocks a shot, it is assumed he got some part of the body. The foul call in basketball is one of the most inconsistent calls in all of sports.

Also, it doesn't help the home team in tight games when the crowd is chanting "Ref you suck" every other possession. The time to do that chant would be at the end of the game....instead of throwing things.
