re: Fox Sports: "The Alabama Officiating Bias Is Very, Very Real"

All the way back to 1967, LSU leading late with Alabama driving. They fumble inside the 20. LSU recovers but the ref jumps in a calls the play dead while the Bama runner was still moving and gives the ball back to Bama, they score and win. Charlie Mac comments but its quickly forgotten.

He's just an entertainer. Plain and simple.

Forgot about this. I think the rest of the CFB world is starting to finally see the BS.

You do realize that you sound like a skairdy biatch right?

This article is exactly what is needed to address this crap. The rest of the country is finally getting tired of bama and its about time to shed some light on things.

The ref moving the spot for the first down is almost surreal.

this one is a billion times worse because here the ref actually understands how to fix a game and hide it



its a sneak by McElroy, who has the ball near his waist when this starts. the ref makes the spot with his left foot but that might not be enough, so he replaces his left with his right, and that gives bama the few inches they needed to convert.

this is how you fix a game. its how you cheat for a team.

people act like its supposed to be 100 penalties to 0 when you buy the refs, and thats clearly stupid, theyre not gonna do shite until you need help. if they can call a normal game and you win, perfect. if things are tight, they step in.

the 2009 game was flat out stolen from us, by the SEC. that was the Peterson INT game but it started with Jordan getting a textbook spear in the chest that knocked him out of the game, all while the head official (ritter) stood there with a clear and direct view. no flag.



ritter would later have a clear and direct view of P7s INT. "no catch".



ritter is in charge of all SEC replay now. hes the final word on calls like targeting.

In the clip below its just 10-7 midway through 3, and we have a basically impossible 3rd and 25 on our 39, but holy frick look at that we get 20 (keep in mind thats the backup QB since our starter had a 300 pound athlete spear the crown of a helmet into his heart at full speed).



4th and 5 now - bama territory - slant to RJ Jackson - FIRST DOWN ... until it isn't.



this is a lot like the Auburn clip, because the odds of LSU converting there werent great, so the refs waited it out, maybe no need to do anything, but then...

AFTER JACKSON CROSSES THE LINE AND GETS THE FIRST...

suddenly bama needs a lifeline, and thats when a whistle calls the play dead for illegal motion on the RT, which happened BEFORE the snap.

listen for yourself, when do you hear the first whistle

the whistle negated a pretty serious facemask on Jackson too



midway through the 4th quarter now, LSU still hanging around, down by just 6 when bama fair catches a punt on their 46.



1st and 10 on the 46.



Ingram carried twice for almost nothing, setting up this 3rd and 6 from roughly the 49



McElroy (#12) keeps it, goes down exactly on the 50



they punt. ball is on the 50.



we run into the punter. 5 yard penalty. ball will now be on the 45.

oh, wait, no, sorry, i forgot, this is bama, so that 5 yard penalty is now good for 5 and 9/10ths.

CBS even correctly changed their graphic from "4th and 6" (the picture above) to "4th and inches" (the picture below). that cannot happen on a 5 yard penalty, it simply cant.



bama had JUST run the ball 3 times, twice with a heisman winner, and got 4 yards. going for it on 4th and 1 was no sure thing. and then, as if by magic, it suddenly wasnt 4th and 1 anymore. somehow.



ALL of these things dont just happen, in one game, benefiting one side, every time, by chance or incompetence. these people know what theyre doing, and what theyre doing is cheating. for bama.

this was 2009, the Auburn clip as well, bama was actually on the way back under saban, everything was on the verge of finally paying off, and considering that bama was one wrong word from the death penalty for buying players just 5 years before saban got there, i dont think its insane to think they would buy some refs to clear their path and stamp their comeback

2009 was ALSO the year of the Mt Cody block on Tennessee, saving a 12-10 win

why is that mentioned? because refs dont usually point out a live ball to one teams players so they stop celebrating and jump on it to officially end the game.

wow bama sure did benefit from some crazy coincidences in 2009 on the way to a NC

Masterful post.

Probably mentioned on here somewhere but the penalty against Alexander in '14 did it for me. At that point, you could truly see that Bama was receiving Notre Dame-level favoritism. That call was unfrickingbelievable...literally.

Man, MastrShake, better than reading a magazine.

Dude.
