Re: Alabama opponents really don't get called for holding
Does anyone really care what the barn's radio guys think?
Bama opponents never get called for holding - review after seeing officiating today..
- Thread starter KrAzY3
- Start date
Where this really stems from is from two places with Alabama fans:
1) Auburn gets away with bloody murder at JHS and gets any rule change to benefit the offense they want
2) the 2016 defense was one of the GOAT but one of the least held of all time. You can’t tell me in 99 plays in one game that defense wasn’t held once.
Re: Alabama opponents really don't get called for holding
It's fun hearing their feeble whines.
Oh, good grief! Think! Alabama holds no more or less than any other team. However, playing against Bama gives you a 250% better chance of NOT being called for holding. It doesn't matter if you're Arkansas or anyone else...
Firstly, I don’t agree with your opinion that Alabama holds no more or less than any other team. We’ll just agree to disagree on that one as our opinions are totally different on that.
What do you attribute this 250% discrepancy toward? Is it referee bias against Bama? Is it a conspiracy?

Do you have ANY actual proof otherwise? If not this discussion can stop because you're just trolling this board at this point.
So regardless of being called or not, are you asserting that Alabama players hold their opponent more frequently than their opponents do?

Never mind - you came here with an agenda and I am not going to continue to play your game. Focus on your next opponent. The season is only half over.

Could you please post the hundreds of thousands of pictures of every hold from every Div 1 school over the last 10 years that shows this discrepancy that you are alluding to here? That should prove it and we already know you like pictures.
There aren't any stats on how often Bama holds. There aren't any stats on how often Arkansas holds. However, there are stats on how often Bama's opponents get called for holding - and it's pathetic, but you don't want to talk about that because you don't even begin to have an answer for it. You are hanging by a thread here. If you want to hang around and discuss football productively, fine. If you want just to argue angels on the head of a pin endlessly, I'll put you out of your misery quickly...
Ok so by this line of logic I can say that simply by becoming the head coach at Alabama your penalties per game ranking would go from 8th in the league to 3rd the instant you step on campus. That’s quite remarkable!
That is exactly what happen for Nick Saban when he left LSU to go to Alabama.
In all seriousness how do you explain this? He already was at a powerhouse program. He didn’t switch leagues, heck he didn’t even switch divisions. He was a national championship coach at Baton Rouge so it’s not like he morphed from an average coach to a great one at Bama? That’s a HUGE bump for an established coach.

And remember, we asked for Div 1 pics, so you should filter out all that pop warner stuff from the Bret Arky days...
What does any of this have to do with Saban? Alabama fans have theories about the current penalty discrepancies, and none of them involve conspiracies. They all center around the idea that physically dominant teams and players simply don't get the same calls as weaker teams and players get. There are examples throughout sports. But, really, we don't know why - we only know that the stats bear it out. Alabama's opponents have fewer penalties called in games with Alabama than their other games, and Alabama's opponents get called for fewer penalties than other teams' opponents.
I would say that it is just a statistical anomaly if it had not become a trend for the last 5+ years.
Do you have a better idea why these stats look as they do?
Do you even understand that you're making the OP's point? When he came to Bama, it was practically a guarantee that he would face biased calls in favor of the other opponents' OLs? Good God! What do you understand?
I'll say it again - Alabama has averaged 6th in the SEC over the last five years in penalties per game.
Maybe it's time to reevaluate your argument as your data points are either wildly outdated or totally incorrect.
You like stats that fit your agenda!
I wonder why you didn’t include ALL sabans years in Tuscaloosa? LOL!
2007- 1st
2008- 1st
2009- 3rd
2010- 3rd
2011- 1st
2012- 1st
Whoops! I guess you just forgot to leave these out!!
It’s amazing that the minute Saban walked into Tuscaloosa his teams went from 7th-8th in penalties per game in the league to 1st-3rd least penalized. That’s an amazing jump!
