I never know how to begin columns like this. Partly because I never know if I should even write this type of column. I didn’t do it after the LSU-Texas A&M game, or the LSU-Bama game from 2014 or any of the long list — and regardless of your fandom, you have a list — of games that have been marred by notable, egregious failures of officiating.
Nobody wants to be the “whiner,” right?
“Well you just should’t let the game come down to officiating.”
“Just make (insert other play) and it doesn’t matter.”*
We just accept this.
