When is it appropriate to cry refs?

Like I said, all that matters is the team involved. If a Bama or tOSU has a terrible call go against us, any mention of it or suggesting it MIGHT be a bad call is met with derision, cries of “whining”, and on here, facepalms. If a call that could be considered close to marginal goes in favor of a tOSU or Bama, if our fans dare accuse anyone of “whining”, it is met with derision and on here, facepalms.

At the end of the day, if your team tends to be well liked (usually means hasn’t done much lately), you can complain and attack the more hated fan bases with immunity. Case in point. If a call goes against LSU, the board will take their side. If a call goes against Clemson, the board will say “tough shit”.

Why? Because while the tOSU hate is enough to overcome recent Clemson success, LSU hasn’t been there in awhile. And for some reason, people are able to forgive O for his transgressions at USC and Tennessee and consider him “likable”.

For now, I just call a bad call a bad call and a good call a good call. If some needle dick in mom’s basement wants to give me a facepalm because he can’t handle Saban’s success or press conferences, he can go for it. Oh, and he can fuck himself as well. :D

Very well said as always sir

Honestly, I dislike missed obvious calls more than bad calls. They tend to have the stink of favoritism about them.

That said, after a game is over how many protestations have actually resulted in the change a W/L column? Pretty sure that number is zero. The point is moot really.

There’s also instances where bad calls should be praised.

Like when Jim Joyce called the baserunner safe to prevent that douchebag Galarraga from getting a perfect game.

Amiright, @Winged_Wheel88 ?
