Bama bias

[tennrich1]

I’ve seen calls that were certainly suspect but if Bama plays the game against Georgia the way they played against Arkansas yesterday …especially on defense ….the Bulldogs will boat-race Bama back to Tuscaloosa.

I think they want bama to win that game so both get into the playoffs . I hate bama and dont want to see that happen but I could seem them trying to make it happen. Bulldogs are the better team and should beat bama by 10

IF this is true I need to watch the game when it comes on the SEC network. It will be the first time I have ever seen those things happen in a close game. I could not watch yesterday. I had to work.

I’m going to watch it tonight, open minded, and see what my view of the officiating is. It will be interesting if it’s as blatant as people say it is, or if it’s just anti Bama bias.

I just watched the Bama Arkansas game to look at the officiating. I watched specifically for the officiating and rewinding where I needed to.

Penalty no calls: Bama had 6 various penalties I saw which were not called. Most were holding and pass interference but also hands to the face and one obvious personal foul which the ref saw and didn’t call. Arkansas had one hold not called.

Ref calls not related to penalties. Arkansas got 2 favorable spots, one which was overturned on review, the other not reviewed. Officials ruled the Arkansas WR scored a TD but was ruled short on review. Very questionable for that to be overturned.
The line judge ruled the Arkansas RB 1 foot short when half the guys body was in the end zone. One of the worst calls I’ve ever seen, was overturned by the booth.
Bama catch and fumble ruled recovered by Arkansas, obvious the Bama knee was down.
Bama TD at the end was ruled as such and upheld on review. It looks to me to not be a TD. The view from the left was the best view. The Bama WR was bobbling the ball, by the time he regained control his feet were off the ground. When he came down, his thigh hit in bounds simultaneously with his elbow hitting out of bounds.
One other penalty called which was awful was the intentional grounding on Arkansas. The WR was right there and the QB was possibly outside the tackle box.

In summary, the refs seemed to let Bama hold and commit penalties without calling them. I seriously believe the replay booth is biased. Any close call went Bama’s way and some in error. Huge game changing plays went Bama’s way almost exclusively. Everything else was about even and didn’t matter. My opinion is it was clearly biased in Bama’s favor both in the field but especially in the replay booth.

Okay, I FINALLY got a chance to watch the Bama Arkansas game that I recorded. On plays that are reviewed and over turned there are SUPPOSED to be INDISPUTABLE evidence to overturn a play on the field. Around the 4 minute mark of the second quarter Arkansas threw a deep pass for a touchdown. The refs reviewed the play on the field. Even the announcers said I don't see anything that could possibly overturn the call of touchdown. But, yet it gets overturned. Arkansas ball on the 1 yrd line. The following play it is obvious the Arkansas running back crossed the goal line. No call for a touchdown. It is reviewed and finally overturned. If it is not obvious to you the refs are trying to protect the Tide at all costs, you either have worse eye sight than Stevie Wonder or you are a Bama fan. I won't even get into all the pass interferences committed by the Tide that didn't get called or the holds committed by their offense. Arkansas would have had to kill the Tide to win. There is NO WAY the refs are going to let the Tide lose a close game.
