Nobody else thinks these stats smell like dead logan?

Alabama penalized 30 times 242 yds
Opponents penalized 52 times for 460 yds

However that is not the jaw dropper, but this is. In SEC games, first downs by penalties:

Alabama 18 Opponents 2

Actually, we have worse times with the refs at Auburn than in Tuscaloosa. Bama made a good hire in Saban & I am confident he’ll run a clean program but would anybody really be surprised if some looney booster wasn’t already throwing money around given the carnival-like atmosphere surrounding the coming resurrection of “the nation.”

Hmmm…Seems I remember the Barn having trouble with some grade changing for incoming recruits earlier this season…

Pot. Kettle. Black.

I know the streak will end, and probably before 9, so I don’t really care.

But, I do love how it is just a given that Bama cheats, especially coming from an Auburn fan. I think Tubby runs a pretty clean program now except for the academics (which really probably has nothing to do with him). However, to make a blanket statement that Bama cheating is a way of life coming from an Auburn fan is hilarious due to the sheer amount of cheating scandals that AU has been a part of.

I assume you base your assertion that Bama cheating is a way of life on Bama’s past transgressions. That’s fine, and I don’t deny that there were some shady dealings. But if that’s the case, then how does AU get a pass? Why do things such as 2nd most penalized program by the NCAA and academic scandals not count, but Bama’s 2 run ins with the NCAA mean that Bama is forever a cheater? Are you saying that, b/c AU wasn’t as successful when it was cheating, that the cheating doesn’t count? For God’s sake, your University graduated a player who admitted in court that he was illiterate, and UA is a pack of cheaters?

I don’t really understand why it doesn’t go both ways, except that you are not a fan of Bama, and that makes you somehow the authority on this. Please provide more concrete reasons as to why Bama is cheating by paying the refs. I gave a very plausible answer – Saban coaching a disciplined squad – so please let me know either some concrete evidence that we paid the refs, or at least a more realistic reason than that.

The bama cheats. Fact of life. The only reason they lost the replays, is cause they never got to them refs.

Somebody is filling the void left by Logan. Fear #6 yet??
