Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

You know, we college football fans are passionate to a fault. It’s just a game, after all, one played by student athletes, and win or lose we really should appreciate the beauty and pageantry of the game above all else.
Having said that, that play was literally worse than the holocaust.

Not hyperbolic enough I’m afraid.
What are the chances that any team would have 2 games like last years seccg and this years auburn game end like they did in less than a calendar year? How do both of those tips go to the only place on the planet that causes us to lose? The odds have to be incalculable.

I would offer that the abomination at AU was a coaching failure. Firstly, someone gotta get behind the receiver on the play & there ought to be communication between Matthews and JHC somehow. As I see it.

who is the black coach with white shirt that immediately starts running toward the bench… it looks like the guy that was coaching up murray on the cbs telecast right after the play… guy was very quick on his feet and in his mind to go start working on murray to get him ready… just curious because our coaches aren’t typically known for this kind of proactive action.

It’s Bryant Gantt. He’s a DGD and loves the program.
The crazy thing is if that play happens on 3rd instead of 4th down, we might win the game. Murray needed 10 more seconds. Do you know how hard it is to fly down the field in 25 seconds? We went from the 25 to the 20 in 22 seconds.
I think we did the right thing trying to get it in the endzone. However, I would not have minded tossing it to Gurley about the 5 yard line with a full head of steam and seeing who could stop him from getting to the goal-line.

And if Marshall Morgan had shanked one of his extra points and the game was tied, they are punting and we need to go 30 yards for a long field goal or just play for OT. You just never know…

The entire team’s reaction was….remarkable. There were players on the field who looked like they had been shot. Just sprawled out on the ground, helmets off, done.
To our files of Why Penn Wagers Shouldn’t Referee, I suggest adding the unsportsmanlike flag on Auburn after the TD, which I swear was tossed out at midfield in the vicinity of no one. The Inaccurate Reception was one of the most bonkers plays in recent memory in this conference, and the Barn was well within its right to go nuts celebrating it. Instead of letting those kids enjoy the moment, Penn once again injected his beady eyes and drunk-Muppet voice into the proceedings. You and a mirror need to get a room, Penn.

I’ve been watchin’ this clip for the last two days. Pretty much sums it up. Looks as if there was a team of snipers that shot all at once–aiming for the gut. I certainly felt like I got shot in the gut after that play too. I just can’t for the life of me understand why we were trying to catch the ball and not swatting it down? Why on earth would you try and pick off the ball on a 4th and 18 when an incomplete wins the game? aaarg. This is going to take some time to wear off.

Remember when Gators tight-end Jordan Reed fumbled into the end zone in Q4 2012, thus preserving the GA win? Remember when Michael Johnson came down with that miracle catch in 2002, thus preserving our first trip to Atlanta? Remember when we beat AU in ’86 with Wayne Johnson as our backup qb in a game we had no business winning? Remember when Stafford and Co. went to AU in ’05 and spanked the #5 team in the country? Little Tra Battle had all those interceptions?
Look, we’ve won the past 5 of 7 from these cheating assholes who field a team with JUCO castoffs and criminals and have much lower standards both academically and morally, so yes, the pendulum was bound to swing a bit. AU will always be AU and we can always say we do things the correct way, we do it with class, and we do it to last.

That is absolutely horrible to see. I have not seen the play and do not want to see the play. I had no idea how the game turned out until about 10:30 PM Saturday night. I never want to see the play.
