    I am hoping, one day, you and reality have a one on one. Because right now the more you say this the more incredulous it becomes.

    For two years in a row Alabama's opponents have been penalized fewer times than any other team in the NCAA. Two years in a row. And before that? It remains practically the same.

    Opponent Penalties:
    2017: Bama 130th out of 130 teams.
    2016: Bama 128th out of 128 teams.
    2015: Bama 102nd out of 128 teams.
    2014: Bama 123rd out of 128 teams.
    2013: Bama 89th out of 128 teams.
    2012: Bama 108th out of 124 teams.
    2011: Bama 117th out of 120 teams.
    2010: Bama 95th out of 120 teams.

    Please, for the love of being a reasonable football fan. Just stop. Please. Just stop.

    Bama's penalties come after the game has been decided.
    First TD yesterday, the pick play to the DL. Another DL was blocking 5 yards deep into the end zone. no flag

    Uh, you talking about 7 falling down? A DL blocking in the end zone? What? Just talkin'

    When all else fails, it's a conspiracy. SMH.

    I never said y'all don't get called or the opponents dont. That is you being overly defensive. I want to see subjective calls go against yall more. Go find "missed" holding calls or iffy PI calls. Good luck. You'd have to watch ALL the games to figure that out. You probably do anyway. Have it on loop with a bottle of lotion ready lol. Happy New Year!

    That dude has no grip on reality when it comes to the Gumps. Saban could be on video slipping a bag of cash to officials and he would still deny it. He’s the Gump Trump.

    Blind homerism, eh? Where?
    Here?
    That's just wrong. Simply wrong. He literally just made it up. Take the game against Clemson, look at the play by play, and you'll see how far off base the comment was.

    OR, was it this?
    Let's take this one example at a time, shall we?

    Don't take my word, look at the video. The LDE literally, right in front of your face, falls down when he loses his footing. That's supposed to be a penalty?
    http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=21937281

    Both of those are subjective calls based on the call itself. Yet, you want more to go against Bama. That's an opinion that's far from objective. That said, if the actual numbers reflect fewer penalties going against Bama's opponents versus those that are called against the Tide those subjective calls are going the opponents way.

    This is just like the old stand-by "Bama never gets called for holding" but when you look at the penalties called you see that's not the case.
    I have asked you time and time again to show me where. Time and time again you haven't--because you can't. So, once again.

    Show me.

    you were supposed to show this TD... go to the 31 sec mark... 92 didn't even attempt to sell the rub like normal, he just starts to block like it's a running play...
