re: SEC Officials: Alabama Bias?

The kids who come to Alabama respect him, so maybe they actually listen when he preaches, and do what he says.

Maybe they didn't when he first got to Bama, but they'd be damn fools if they didn't listen to him and do exactly what he says now. Saban has proven that his process is effective, it works and is successful at the highest level of college football.

He is a jackass of the first order, I admit it..

But, he has simply built a machine. A simplistic, effective, efficient machine that just wins ballgames. It's not flashy, it's not fancy, it just wins.

Saban has figured this shite out people. He knows what works, he knows what it takes to compete, he knows what it takes to consistantly field a competitive team.

And with the depth that Alabama has now, this is even more true. The kids that don't want to work hard and compete simply won't be playing. If they don't like it, they can transfer (inb4 processed).

Some call that brainwashing.

I call it entrenched in a system that results in success. Whether his players and staff like personally or not, he has proven that if you come to Bama your arse better to be ready, willing, and able to do things the Saban way or don't let the door hit you in the arse on your way out.

If I was talented enough to be offered a scholarship by CNS then you better believe I'd fall in line and listen to every word he said. It could mean the difference in becoming a 1st round draft pick or not. Saban knows how to prepare kids for the nfl, and if the nfl was my goal, I'd follow his guidance.

You really need to break it down to personal foul, pass interference, holding.....off sides, too many on the field, kick out of bounds should be listed.

I've seen the same guy jump off-sides and hold if he were getting beat.

It's not uncommon for the team Alabama is playing be so over-matched they commit numerous penalties trying to hold their own against a far superior player.

------------------------------------------

How bout game changing calls like the reception against LSU last year that was incorrectly ruled an interception. It clearly changed the game for LSU. If it's called correctly, LSU is never embarrassed 21 to zip in front of the world. Their entire season looks much better with a Sugar Bowl victory to end last year.

JJ may have been remembered as a good QB and Les a better coach.

very true. especially with holding and pass interference.

You see a lot of holding calls on the opposing O-line with they are getting dominated by bigger stronger players.

You also see a lot of interference calls (not necessarily just against Bama's opponents) when a catch would almost guarantee a TD. Better to take a 15yarder than to give up 7.

You get a look at Jesse Williams mug up in your grill, I bet you'd jump too. I wouldn't want that angry Aussie comin across the line after me.
