Damn right! You'd be that guy too if it were your team that got screwed at an unprecedented level.
You clowns have been whining about SEC offices in Birmingham and phantom holds for years.
Repeat after me. Each team had sixty minutes of football to make enough plays to win the game and to overcome adversity in the football game. Injuries(Bo Scar) and bad calls are just a couple of the adversities a team must overcome. Clemson made they plays when they counted the most and they were the better team that night. Bama fought hard and it was the best playoff game to date. You win some and lose some. Bama wins more than their share.
If you say that, you will probably feel better about it.

No excuses, we lost, they won. There was a LOT of missed calls on both sides. Does Bama Fatigue figure into it? I think so. People are tired of seeing the same team up there every year. If you aren't a Bama fan, you're tired of this shite. Sick and tired of it. We should know that going in and know we aren't going to get any breaks from anyone. It is what it is. The best way for us not to have endured that loss was to make a fricking first down after Bo went out. Complete one stinking pass and that game is over. So we can bitch about the refs and there's probably something to it, but it's not an excuse. They called it loose both ways, just probably a little looser for Clemson, but we had every chance to put that game away on offense. That's on Bama and the coaching staff (frick YOU, SARK, YOU DRUNK MOTHER frickER).

Run the ball more than 5 times in the second half, and the game is over. Make on stop on defense, and the game is over.

LOL at a Gump complaining about a lack of offensive penalties being called against their opponent. Look up the word "irony".

It's called coaching.

Perhaps. I do find it odd, and statistically speaking - flat out impossible, that a team ranking near the bottom quarter of the country in penalties somehow manages to run 99 plays against one of the best front sevens in college football history without one single infraction of any kind.

That's how just about everyone watching the game felt when those two egregious examples of targeting weren't called.
Not that I have last year's penalties on hand, but I would bet that a lot of Clemson's penalties were defensive holding and interference. The offense (to my recollection) was not heavily penalized. I think Bama got away with far more in the game, you see it the other way. OP and his conspiracy theories notwithstanding, it was fantastic.

Show us the math that supports this statement.

Surely you can admit zero penalties being called in 99 plays is flat out mind boggling. Unheard of.
Bama was penalized 9 times for 82 yards. Clemson was flagged 3 times for 35.

You'd need to consult a mathematician to break down those odds. Pretty clearly a statistical impossibility. It would require all 11 players to play perfect football for 99 consecutive plays. Silly to even think about.

I am a mathematician (well, actually a physicist). You don't know what you are talking about. If there are "odds", there is a non-zero probability of it occurring.

Not true. They would just have to avoid committing any errors egregious enough to get called OR be lucky enough to have the refs not see them.

Then you should know the definition of "statistical impossibility" - which is what we're currently discussing, but not what you just described.

Sweet. So tell me the statistical probability of a team who ranked near the bottom quarter in the country in penalities being able to pull this off for 99 consecutive plays against one of the best front sevens in college football history.
Thanks.

Easy.
I don't have the exact data, but let's assume a team averages 90 offensive plays a game and averages 3 offensive penalties a game. That means they average 1 penalty every 30 plays.
The chances of NOT getting a penalty on any given play then is 29/30, or 96.67%
The chances of not getting a penalty for 99 consecutive plays is then (29/30) raised to the 99th power.
If Excel calculates correctly, that comes out to 0.03487, or 3.487%
Pretty long odds, but a long way from "impossible."
If you want to take the time to look up Clemson's actual stats, I'll be glad to give you an answer specific to them.

Through the last two season Alabama would give y'all a run for your money based on Cam Robinsons false start penalties alone.
