Here is the thing: you should want your team to be so good that the supposed "margin of corruption" would not be a factor. Alabama has had a lot of bogus calls on them in big games in the past, and also had their opponents have huge missed calls, and Bama has still won. And other teams have played Bama and had the same thing happen, and beaten Bama. At the end of the day, a few penalties should not be the entire reason a team wins or loses. If your team is that friggin hopeless that they can't overcome a bad call or a missed call, then maybe they just deserve to lose.
Furthermore, if you are legitimately trying to blame OFFICIATING on why teams perennially lose against Bama, [as opposed to the fact that MAYBE, Alabama is ACTUALLY a really good, well-coached team] then you are borderline moronic, or just hate Bama so much you believe what you want to believe.

And yeah, in case you're wondering, there have been games where I have been pretty upset at another team for "getting away" with stuff. Auburn got a touchdown on an illegal play in 2013. But you know what, ultimately, I can't blame bad officiating for changing the outcome. Because I know that there are ALWAYS other reasons why my team could have won the same game, that had nothing to do with the officiating being bad. Sometimes the opponent is just better prepared, or sometimes Bama just missed opportunities they shouldn't have.

How can we logical explain something that's horse shite?

It's like asking you to give a logical explanation of why 2+2=5.

It needs to go both ways though when another team is in contention.


If another team is in contention then they should at minimum find a way to score points. Especially when their opponent gives them the fricking ball on turnovers in positive territory.

Don't forget the no-call on Hurts' intentional grounding from Bama endzone and triple holding on his TD run. (At least 3 holds and blocks in the back.)

1) Dude, it's DSOR week. Who gives a frick about refs in Bama/LSU. 120th renewal of the best rivalry in the SEC.

2) Surely you know by now that Bama is the Hillary Clinton of NCAA football....corrupt to the core, use their power to take liberties not permissible by others, buy friends in high places to maintain plausible deniability, break the rules with impunity because of the status they have achieved, and they are so power hungry that if you cross their path you end up like Vince Foster (or Logan Young). It is what it is.

What you don't seem to understand, because you're looking through orange and blue glasses, is that it happens

ALL
THE
TIME


Every team does it; every team gets away with it.

If you really think there's a Bama bias, look at the number of penalties we've been called for this year compared to our opponents.

When you notice your team doing it it's easy to overlook, but when you're on the losing side of the scoreboard you tend to remember the missed calls that benefited the winning team and forget the ones that helped yours.

I seem to remember one play against LSU the other night where Tim Williams was absolutely tackled as he tried to get to the quarterback. Why isn't anyone posting pictures of that? Wonder if Coach O is gonna send that one into the SEC office? There's a reason nothing happens when the coaches complain about missed calls...because it happens

ALL
THE
TIME


Every team does it; every team gets away with it.

Drink a beer, enjoy the game, and don't believe everything you see on CNN -OR- FoxNews, read in USA Today or on ITAT

For all those LSU conspiracy theorists, Alabama currently ranks 126th in CFB with opponent's penalties.

A million insults and not one bama fan with a logical explanation of why this seems to happen every week. Oh and it's not just Auburn and LSU, ask A&M fans, Arkansas fans, Ole Miss fans. A bit of a pattern if you ask me.
Stop the bitching and petition your head coaches and AD's to sack up and head to B'ham with the fricking pitch forks.

Until you whiners can get off your asses and get on your Administration and force them to go to the SEC then just STFU.

Quit tarding up the board slick. It's bad enough without you ignorant barners and your conspiracies. It's embarrassing dude.

you guys can quit with the number of penalties per game as I said it's not how many are called it's when they're called

There was a blatant grounding by Etling, a clear offensive pass interference, and a facemask against Hurts that all went uncalled. That's not even getting into several blocks in the back and holds as well. All that went against Bama

it's getting bad man. oh, sometimes they will call one on bama in a non critical situation to keep the stats respectable but the calls and no calls when the game is on the line is getting out of hand. i'm not a conspiracy guy but there needs to be an investigation of some sort. that targeting against the aggie player a couple of weeks ago was disgusting. they said he was not a defenseless player. targeting is targeting. the kid was knocked senseless by the bama players helmet crown.

Are you really so fricking stupid as to start a thread today yapping about officials when the entire SEC nation saw you needed the officials to gift wrap a win for you to beat Vandy at home?

Serious question.

Are you really this fricking stupid?

Keep proving that your sport is really irrelevant. The more you try to rebuke the OP the worse you are making the entire league look.

Touchdown Alabama- obviously there's not one team in the NCAA that could beat Bama outside the margin of corruption.

Again I absolutely think the officials make honest mistakes sometimes and expect a few of those to go each way and even out . But week after week to see penalties or lack there of be the turning point for you guys is a little much.

And the only thing you had to compare that exact number of brain cells to to make your observation legit would be your own brain. At first you thought they were your children.

This is when you know you got em. They would kill someone if any other team had the loopholes that they have. The way I see it, at least you can make some money off of it. The Saban era at Bama has produced probably some of the easiest wagering to date.
