Gawd....ain't that the truth. Having watched UT vs. Bama since the early 80's, I'll give you another truth.
Bama never, I mean never, gets penalized during "game-serious" situations.
Holding on a 3rd and 19 pass play completion? - No.
Blocking in the back on a punt return for a TD? - No.
Off sides in the first quarter on 2nd and 2? - Yes.
Illegal procedure in 2nd quarter on 3rd and 1? - Yes.
Book it. See for yourself. Oh, btw...the exact opposite occurs for their competition. It used to be much worse than it is now, but it is still prevalent.
