Don't look now, but Bama's opponents are being penalized less than any other

For the second consecutive year, we are ranked dead last in opponent penalties, 130/130. Referees refuse to call a fair game when Bama is playing. I guess they're tired of Bama winning, too. Or else they feel like Bama doesn't need any help - so they refused to call penalties on our opponents.

I, for one, am really sick and tired of Bama getting fricked over by those sorry arse SEC refs.

Teams just happen to focus more on the fundamentals when playing Alabama

Hard to commit a penalty when your back is on the ground

Poor LSU fans and their narratives that keep getting shot down.

Bama plays tougher opponents.
Bamas opponents get penalized less.
Derrick Henry thoroughly outplayed Leonard Fournette today.

What a shitty weekend for them.

Y'all get to play LSU eventually. Y'all will shoot up in the rankings after that.

That unsportsmanlike on Payne during Clemson title drive should have either been:

*Not called

*Or at the minimum offsetting as the Clemson player was a full participant. (pushing, shoving, etc.)

The 15 yards put Clemson in position to score, and along with many other frick ups was one of the daggers in the heart for Bama.

It was a pussy flag as two heavy weights were slugging it out in the last round of a title fight, and the ref simply had to get his five seconds of fame with some chicken shite call that fricked the purity of the moment/competition.

Game likely goes to over-time without that penalty.

Will never forgive the ref for that.

They wait until the close games so it's not obvious. Duh...
