My Niece Is the LSU Homecoming Queen, and College Football Is Rigged to Benefit Alabama


I am extremely proud of my niece, Sarah. Her first semester at LSU went nothing like she expected or wanted, and plenty of people in her situation have dropped out and wafted through their late teens and early 00's. She didn't. She persevered over the last four years, got elected to student government, and tonight, became LSU's 2018 Homecoming Queen. She's going to be starting law school soon, and she is going to do just as great there.
It was a great game, as LSU systematically took apart the 22nd ranked team in the country, Mississippi State. Well, it was a great game until about six minutes to go, when LSU's All-American linebacker, and defensive captain, Devin White, was nonsensically ejected for targeting, when he cleanly hit Mississippi State's quarterback, Nick Fitzgerald, as Fitzgerald was throwing the ball. Well, nonsensical if you haven't been paying attention.
If you have been paying attention, you noticed that last week, an Alabama player threw an opposing team member on the ground, punched him in the face three times in clear view of the referee, and was not ejected. You noticed that just earlier today, an Alabama player clearly lowered the crown of his helmet and hit Tennessee's quarterback after he threw the ball, injuring him and knocking him out of the game...and was not called for targeting. But more than anything, you noticed that, as White was ejected in the fourth quarter, he will now miss the first half of the LSU vs Alabama football game in two weeks...as the SEC replay officials...in Alabama...who are Alabama graduates...reviewed the play for 30 seconds, and decided that the best player on our team would have to sit out the first 30 minutes of our 60 minute battle with their local team. Yes...they have the power to force us to hold out our best player at the beginning of the game...when they have been burying opposing teams...with their paid-off two-deep of five-star recruits...who can do anything they damn well please on or off the field without fear of repercussions. At least the WWF let Hulk lose sometimes.
How bad is this?
Our Governor just tweeted about it. Like, THE Louisiana Governor.
Screw Alabama.
