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

[Marshal Dillon]

This one stings more than I can begin to express.  I left for China August 22, 2009 and have watched from the other side of the world as we rolled to three championships in four years.  I finally get home during football season, watch Game Day and the early games, settle in to watch a game on TV and this happens. 

I can't complain about a loss after three championships in four years, despite the poor play and coaching tonight.  This just sucks. 

Aha, so it's YOUR fault the Tide lost. If you had stayed in China this may not have happened. Figures a commie-loving fan would cause this to happen.

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

I second that observation.

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.

Whoa! Number 1, you have zero responsibility of the Tide loss. Secondly, Foster should have made the FG no matter what. He's a senior, not a freshman. He totally choked.

He did choke.  He should have made it.  But a whole team full of other players also did not do their jobs today, and the coaches too.  The defense was pitiful, as just one example.

Totally.

[SUPERCOACH]

I just saw Saban on ESPN.  He said that Griffin makes it from 60 in practice all the time, and we had the wind at our back in the 4th quarter.  It was probably worth a shot if he can hit them in practice.

Ok guys, just got back in for the night. I wish I knew something to say, but words really fail me this evening. It never feels good to lose a game, worse when it is the barn, and worse still with so much riding on the outcome. I am sick about this, but here is what I know (unless the Lord comes back): the sun will rise tomorrow, taxes will still have to be paid, and the Tide WILL be back.

[XBAMA]

the perfect ending to me would have been AJ to Norwood or Cooper or Howard
for the TD as the clock ran out ...

coach elected to kick so that's it , it was the play called

I still love my team , the coaches and players , the U of A 
and the barn still sucks , so all of that is still the same

I hate football!!!

That's always been my attitude about sports. It's a game. Unfortunately, we will have supposedly grown men who will be physically sick, not be able to sleep, who broke their TV, and did other silly things over this loss. I still have my good wife, 2 beautiful, loving children, 2 granddaughters, my mother, 4 brothers, numerous nieces, nephews, and many, many more things tone thankful for. It's just a game.

AJ wins the Heisman if he throws the game winning TD on the last play (if Jameis goes to jail).

[KoKoPuf]

I thought AJ had won the Heisman after the 99-yarder to Cooper.

[SUPERCOACH]

Too bad this is not the first year of the playoffs.

Probably so (if Jameis goes to jail).
