re: Horse Collar Call Penalty on LSU, but No Call on Bama

quote:

and yet Alabama is worse than LSU this year in penalties called against them.

And last year, Bama was one of the most penalized teams in the nation (and got screwed in the Tenn game with a terrible PI call at the very end which cost them the game).

Please, just stop. I don't care how many times the Gumps get penalized, my beef is that they always seem to get that one call (or no-call) at a critical point that changes the outcome of the game.

Over the course of the last decade or two, I've seen so many LSU/Bama games go to the Gumps because of one call - a PI, phantom holding, PF/RTP, whatever. Or, conversely, one no-call that swings the game to them (like five offensive linemen holding at the same time on a TD run to win the game against LSU; don't take my word for it, there's pictures galore proving it).

If Bama lost one game to Tenner last year because of a bad call, then IMO it's an outlier that almost never happens.

So, sorry, but I call shenanigans on your position.
