Question - Some have said ESPN paid off the refs so LSU would win..
Jul 21, 2020, 9:01 AM
|

the National Title game against Clemson.
I’ve read that on here and I would say 1/3 of my Clemson friends say “It might” have happened.
How many of you guys think ESPN paid off the refs so LSU would beat Clemson?
I watched the entire game.
This is a major scandal if it occurred. A MAJOR SCANDAL.
Did this happen?

No, there were 2-3 questionable(bad) calls, but there were also a questionable call or two that went our way against OSU. I don't know any Clemson fans seriously thinking ESPN paid the refs.

Are you sure that isn't a conspiracy that a UGA fan made up about Clemson fans?
I have yet to hear a single Clemson fan or Alumni ever mention it.
I suspect that my real-life interactions with real life Clemson fans are closer to the truth.

explanation for an awful team like LSU being able to beat Clemson. Did you see the plays where Skalski got ejected and then we had a TD called back for a phony offensive PI call? Those refs were bought and paid for, and it's obvious ESPN sent them money via Venmo to get revenge for the 44-16 beat down we gave their beloved SEC champs in 2018.

A lot of strange things happened in the game and I am starting to subscribe to the theory that maybe ESPN did, indeed, pay off the refs and make it impossible for Clemson to win.

You may be on to something. I also have heard rumors that ESPN staged the UGA / Uof6C game last fall. No other explanation for losing at home to a 4-8 team led by Boom Muschamp while using a 3rd string QB.

For heaven's sake. LSU had a better team and outplayed and outcoached Clemson in that game. BUT, tho the CU defense was really good, it wasn't great. Though our offense was really good, we had injuries to our top receivers. That's part of the game too and we were fairly beaten. Rumors of a CU eminent demise are just poppycock. The best is yet to come.

Great win for LSU. They soundly beat the Tigers in every aspect of the game. They had better players and better coaches and deserved the big win. Now the question is, did Clemson learn anything from this butt kicking! Hopefully we will know that before the calendar year is over.

need to use this poor rationalization to deny in their own minds that LSU was simply better than us that night. Just as we were clearly better than Bama the year before. Sometimes you are the windshield, and sometimes you are the bug. You get back up, and come back swinging the next time.

Most all of you seem to be responding well to Bulldog. I think he was trying to bait you into complaining about the officials so he could say you’re all using that as an excuse. Well done. Don’t go there.

their annual loss to whatever "lesser than" they played that year. Clemson fans don't peddle ridiculous nonsense like that...thats what a loser does.Trust me i've seen what goes on, on gamecockcentral.
No, my friend, we got beat. Burrow was a very good QB that took advantage of our mistakes. Clemson fans know what a dominant defensive line looks like and we know didn't have it last year. They played good though just not dominant. Had we had our line from the year before, Mr.Burrow and Co. would not have been so successful in that game, but...that's the beauty of college football.
That game was still winnable in early in the 4th (we were down by 3, with the ball) but we didnt' make the plays on offense to get the lead back...and Burrow did. Great win for them but we got some improving to do in order to take the next one.

Ive never heard anyone make that claim. As mentioned in earlier posts, there were some one-sided calls (Like the offensive pass interference that denied Clemson a touchdown). The biggest play bust by Clemson (IMO) was just before the half. You can’t give up 7 and give that momentum to LSU.
It was LSU’s season. They were 7-10 points better that night.
