This reeks of that same whiny attitude we used to hear from Alabama fans back in the Bear Bryant days, always crying about a conspiracy before the game is even played. You want to talk about disrespect? Try being an LSU fan in the 90s when we were irrelevant and the officials still found ways to help the big dogs. We built our championships, the ones in 2003 and 2007 and 2019, by being so physically dominant that a bad call or two couldn't stop us. That's what real teams do. I watched Tommy Hodson and the Tigers go into places like Florida Field and overcome everything, including the crowd and the refs, because they were tougher. This idea that the league has it out for you because you won a title is laughable. Everyone gets bad calls. I remember a phantom clip that took a Bert Jones touchdown off the board against Ole Miss in '72, but you don't hear us still moaning about it fifty years later. If your team is truly great, like our '19 team with Joe Burrow, they overcome. They put up 42 points by halftime and make the officials irrelevant. Blaming the zebras before the season starts is a loser's mentality, something you'd expect from a fanbase that isn't used to being on top. Maybe you should worry less about the flags and more about whether your quarterback can handle a real SEC defense on the road, something we've seen for decades in this league. Champions adjust and execute. Everyone else just complains.
