****OFFICIAL Alabama at Aubrun IN-GAME THREAD****

[XBAMA]

Auburn played to win.  Bama played not to lose.  Sometimes that's just not enough.

Some things mystified me.  Why Bama wasn't being more aggressive, throwing the ball more when Auburn was stacking the box. Why couldn't Bama stop Auburn's running game when we knew it was coming.  Why try a 57 yard FG with a freshman instead of a Hail Mary with a Senior.  Why put all O-linemen on the field for the FG attempt, when it might come up short. 

But all that is past tense now.  Auburn won the game. 

Now we have to become Missouri/SC, Michigan State and Duke fans.

very well put and exactly what I'm thinking right now , sucks don't it

[SUPERCOACH]

Let me see if I can imagine a scenario.  We probably need Mizzou to lose tonight since they would be ranked ahead of us if they win out.  Then we need USCe to beat Auburn next week.  That takes care of those 2.  Then we need tOSU and FSU to lose their championship games next week.  Then, maybe, just maybe we can get back in it.  Actually we only need 3 of the 4 to happen since we only have to get back up to #2.

I don't like our odds.

icing on the poopoo cake will be ....
all while we watch the accused rapist win it all 

[SUPERCOACH]

This was a team loss by the way.  I don't put it all on Foster.  He actually made the FG that would have won the game for us, but we had to take the points off the board and kick it again because of a stupid illegal procedure penalty.



My 98-0 mindset didn't help us either.  I really thought we were going to run all over them.  We certainly should have.  That is what hurts the most, knowing we did not play well at all and should have won the game easily.

[XBAMA]

to be honest , when I saw they were going to kick a FG at the end
I went outside ... slammed the door on my way out too
even with the penalty situation from before   
I still had ZERO confidence in the kicking game at that point 

[XBAMA]

I'm setting here telling myself it's alright
it's just a game
the barn got lucky
yada yada yada ...

but in reality ...

this one hurts boys   

[XBAMA]

my God ! what would any of you gave for another Van Tiffin today ?

There is a possibility for this to happen, except I don't see FSU losing , but if the other games work out we could play FSU?

[SUPERCOACH]

Van Tiffin probably would not have made that either.  We had no business kicking it.  I have to admit that I did not anticipate that they would run it back all the way though.  I was concerned about it being blocked, especially with the low trajectory you need for a kick that long.  We should have let AJ throw it to Cooper, Norwood, White, Bell, Howard, Yeldon, somebody... anybody.

[bama57]

cannot believe I am hoping a and m beats Missou

[SUPERCOACH]

One possible scenario is a rematch, but that would require FSU to lose to Duke.  Not likely unless they put famous Jameis in jail this week.

doesn't FSU have a decent backup named Coker?

I really meant the outcome of VT's kick 

and I agree with all you posted , I was screaming to let AJ have the ball

You know you have one hell of a football program when it's breaking news on every type of news network after your team loses.

[McBaman]

Has anybody seen CNS postgame presser, or have a link?  I read on WA that he was really bummed out.

I'm not sure, but I thought their #2 guy transferred after Winston won the job in the spring, and the guy after that was injured.  So this would be the #4 guy coming out of the spring.  I have no idea if that is right, but that is what I was thinking for some reason.
