re: Y'all are right about the refs and bama

Bama fans would tell you to quit whining because they get as many penalties as everybody else which is almost true, but it's always the timing of the calls and the type/variety of penalties.

Penalties : A&M with 9 for 81 and Bama with 7 for 44

It's not that Bama doesn't get penalized. It's that their penalties are almost always small yardage and very rarely painful. The refs will stare down an Alabama tackle with his arms hooked around your pass rush and not throw his flag, but if your tackle gets a little tug on a jersey on the edge you'll see laundry flying in like a drone strike.

The Bama O-line somehow is immune from holding penalties.
