Welcome.

Now lets see if Auburn can take care of business vs Mizzou. I like your chances, give you about 65% chance of winning that game.

There's already a video out of Hitler learning about the ending of the 2013 Iron Bowl.

That had to be the worst way to lose any damn game. Not just the missed FGs... just the boneheaded play calling. Take a damn knee and try OT.

Saban to Tejas. Since our season is over until the bowl game, he'll have time to go to Austin on the Mrs.'s next house hunting trip. Can't have a thing like the SECCG preperation and possible MNC game preparation interfering with the house hunting... Miss Terry must have finally put her foot down.

Agreed - kicking there was just fucking stupid. Your kickers were shit all day (different kicker - yes - but still...) so you take a knee and win in OT. And in case you think hindsight is 20-20, I liked Hoke's decision to go for it against anOSU, it was just a poor play call IMO.

Saban's obviously the best in the game and probably the best ever, but that was dumb dumb dumb.

Saban made the right call, but his kicking team was not prepared for what is one of the more obscure playing occurrences in football. You can bet from now on every college football team in every division will be training their FG kicking teams to fan out after the ball is kicked just in case there is a return.

I thought it would be decades until I saw a game as wild and miraculous as the Georgia game. I had no idea that the Ricardo Louis deflected catch would be eclipsed by the Chris Davis return in just two weeks.

Amen. Auburn is truly charmed this year.

Are you seriously WISHING Saban goes to Texas because of one bad game out of the last 35 or so? I thought he was "Worth...Every... Cent..."

I've got Sirius/XM, but the show still plays while I'm at work. Maybe it repeats. S/XM does that a lot. Listening to the reaction of Bama fans tomorrow would be epic.

Don’t forget to set your clocks back 1 second, for Daylight Saban’s time.

Fantastic game. Watched in a sports bar outside the Swamp after the Noles beatdown of the Gates.

Unbelievable atmosphere - my 18 year old son had a blast .

I thought Sabans worst mistake was not kicking the field goal on 4th and 1 from the 12 yard line. Thats basically an extra point that would have put you up 2 scores w/ not much time left.

Saban lost the plot there for sure.

Irregardless of who they play or what the line is, I bet Bama covers by a large margin in whatever bowl they go to this year...

I sure thought it was over when Bama snuffed Auburn's 4th down attempt in their own territory late in the game. Whoops...

I told my friends I was watching the game with that I hoped to see a short field goal returned for a touchdown. I was a little bit surprised when afterwards Danielson kept going on and on about it like he had never even considered the possibility that that could happen.

Bama would be favored against any other team except FSU.

I suspect after the somewhat embarrassing effort against the Utes a few years ago, they will be efficient in their bowl game per usual.

I'd say Bama would be favored in a bowl game against FSU. Not saying they'd win, but I think they'd be favored...
