AUBURN !!! HOLY COW!!!!

[pangaia]

DID YOU SEE THAT?????????

[moondust]

1. I saw that.

Wow! Some kind of miracle.

[davidpdx]

2. No, but I did just look it up

Wow, the last game of the season and someone finally beat Alabama. I wonder how far they will fall in the rankings.

[busterbrown]

21. Not far...They can still win Championship Bid..Unfortunately..

[broiles]

3. one of the most amazing finishes to a game ever.

[pangaia]

9. The OSU UofM game was a great one also.

If Mich had made that 2 point conversion--same would have happened to OSU.
Both great games.
And I'm a BASEBALL fan !!

[broiles]

13. Me too, but we don't have any baseball right now.

[Whisp]

4. I thought someone dyed their hair...

couldn't think who tho, with that !!!!

Rush did zip through the mind tho.

[mtnester]

5. Saw it, huge upset

[CTyankee]

6. I just posted it to embarrass Joe Scar for Monday....hope he is in some kind of pain over this...

he's always croaking "Roll Tide!" and now he's so screwed...
Heh.

[pangaia]

12. ++++++++++++++++

[CTyankee]

20. there is a god and she is just...I kinda thought the kick wouldn't do it but shese that run back for

the TD...that was some chutzpah!

[pangaia]

22. Yep, thank goddess for that one...

[CTyankee]

28. I like to think she was pissed at Joe S.

I never watch football but hubby is an avid fan. So I watched just this portion of the game because I want Joe S. to suffer. No iidea it would turn out this way! Hubby was amazed and I just was left speechless (cuz I don't know any better, really). He's still on the phone yakking to his buddies about it....

[kydo]

33. I might have to tune in

to morning joe just first to see if he shows up. I bet he doesn't. Which is a win for everyone that will be on the show. And if he is not there I will watch.

But if he is there I think I will make sure to tune in on the sports news just to see his face. I bet he still has that stunned look

[pangaia]

44. I rember that shot during the game?

How'd you get a screenie so fast?

[MADem]

79. There was another chunky ginger kid who looked like someone stole his cupcake.

I had to laugh at the discomfiture of the other team's fans, too--they looked so...entitled, and so angry that their expectations had been dashed.

And that was quite the touchdown!

[neverforget]

57. I feast on his anguish.

[mike dub]

59. Heheh!

That's probly close to what my brother in law (born and raised in Alabama) and huuuuge Alabama fan looked like during that run back. But he's not near as preppy as the dude onscreen. (No offense to any preppies out there)

[busterbrown]

14. Will piss me off if they jump over Ohio State..

Joe S can bite Lou Baby!!!

[pangaia]

19. I usually root for the underdog--

OR the team whose uniforms I like best.
'usually"
I 'don't like' OSU only because I don't like their uniforms. pretty dumb, eh.

[geek tragedy]

7. Nick Saban is a recruiter not a coach.

Untested kicker, LONG field goal, and an athletic mismatch (return team vs field goal unit).

[Upton]

49. Yeah sure..

that must be why he's won 4 National Championships..

I do agree though he made some questionable decisions in this game. The worst being going for it on 4th and 1 at the Auburn 13 with about 6 minutes left, when a FG would have made it a two score game..

[Logical]

71. LOL, yes, he has had no success. Jealous much? n-t

[paleotn]

87. Not hardly.....

....He's a damn good recruiter, but a pretty astue X's and O's guy as well. And I'm certainly no Bama or Saban fan. Even a long FG attempt, with limited chances of success is normally far less dangerous than just chucking it down field and hoping for the best. If missed, it's OT. But this just wasn't normal. Only truly safe thing to do was take a knee and go to OT, but competitors on that level don't get to that level by making the safe calls.

[taterguy]

8. Ahem, Spoiler alert please

Thank you

[Gothmog]

10. It was an amazing ending

Auburn has won two amazing games

[OKNancy]

11. crazy wild.. I'm a Sooner, but I was screaming like I was an Auburn alumna

Now, to make things interesting, let's have Missouri win against A&M

[busterbrown]

17. John Football has a bad thumb?

Real tough for a passer..

[Ilsa]

55. possibly broken. Sumlin isn't disclosing

any details. JFF isn't passing as long or as well. He's still moving well otherwise, though, and isn't afraid of a tackle.

[Blue_In_AK]

23. I am always happy when the Aggies get beat.

[OKNancy]

25. oh hell yes.. can't stand 'um.

and their snotty little quarterback too.

[Ilsa]

29. Just curious, why "snotty"?

I think he's more hyper, easily bored, maybe ADD, constantly looking to compete, a real Type A.

On edit: his dad is a douche, but JFF is all about sports. He hasn't tweeted since summer practice started. (I think he learned his lesson.)

[Blue_In_AK]

35. Yeah, Johnny Football?

Puh-leeze.

[Fuddnik]

92. More like Johnny Knoxville.

Jackass!

[pangaia]

41. I'm happy when any team from texas loses..

in ANY sport..
Sorry all you Texans, out there.
You're really great Folks.

[Blue_In_AK]

47. Secretly I'm with you,

but I have to keep it under wraps because my husband is a Longhorns fan -- although this year he's been hoping for them to lose because he's tired of the coach. His cognitive dissonance is kind of amusing to watch.

[pangaia]

51. Sshhhhhhhhhhhh

Your secret is safe with me.

Oh.. he doesn't come out here, does he?

[Blue_In_AK]

52. No, not that much.

About the only time he's on DU is when I'm making him vote for me in the photo contests.

[Paladin]

15. Outstanding! (nt)

[Texasgal]

16. LOVE IT!!!

Roll tears tide!!!

[madokie]

18. Sure did

Why doesn't all teams have some one back in case the opposing team misses a field goal

I've never seen this before

[CTyankee]

26. that was strange...

[pangaia]

39. because...because..

It NEVER happens,, ever ever.. almost never....

[madokie]

56. I guess so

[iandhr]

24. I turned the game on with two minutes to go.

Wow

[kentuck]

27. Oh my!

I had never seen that done in a football game before in my life! Run a missed FG back for a TD to win the game!

[asjr]

30. I was just about to change the channel

when that absolutely magnificent play was made. Sure glad I did not change.

[Bennyboy]

31. Worst coaching decision ever....

ANY decision he could have made in that situation would have been better. Hail Mary, a knee, a run up the middle, a fake, a multi lateral thing, flea flicker, razzzmataz, quarterback sneak, Statue of Liberty....ANYTHING would have been better.....

That kicker had a bad day already. Go to overtime and take your chances. Feel bad about MCarron there.

[pangaia]

37. It was a different kicker.

A red shirt frosh. I had this glum feeling he was going to make it.
Just ole' "glass is half empty" me.

[Bennyboy]

46. Even more so then

I am not listening only watching (I am listening to LIVE pink Floyd from MSG in 88 however) so did not know the kicker change.

[pangaia]

48. Have to agree with you.

[underpants]

78. I was shocked that he tried the FG

So many things can go wrong including what happened but he doubled up by not having anyone on the field who could run.

He had no kicking game for OT so maybe that was it... Well that does make sense either- that redshirt could probably have at least bit those ones the regular guy ( wow he had a horrible game) missed even if they were in OT.

I kicked in high school (looking time ago) but have actually goofed around with it recently. The starter -Camp?- his mind was gone. His form looked like he was trying to hit 3 different shots at the same time. That second one was all kinds of messed up.

[grasswire]

32. props to Auburn...

...even though my beloved Ducks are out of the running for title after so much promise.

[Blue_In_AK]

50. At least they pulled that one out yesterday.

I was really concerned there for a bit.

[ThoughtCriminal]

34. We can sew!

[pangaia]

38. Right. Can you believe that?

A freaking actual SEWING MACHINE! ..on the sidelines.

I mean... WHAT?? HUH???

[ThoughtCriminal]

43. If they bring out a welder

The other team would be very nervous about that.

[pangaia]

45. Kerspllluuurrt !

[Happyhippychick]

36. I saw it! Amazing!

[Eleanors38]

40. Alabama has been too long at the trough.

[pangaia]

42. OK, now it's USC and UCLA.

Who are you for?
Me? I like the USC uniforms better.

[Brother Buzz]

53. I think my son's UCLA marching band uniform looks kinda spiffy

But then again, anything he wears looks good on him. He's there, and we're hoping for a couple of quick cut-away shots toward the bands. Big question; alto sax or Sousaphone this week.

Go Bruins!

[pangaia]

54. He plays alto sax AND Sousaphone?

What does that do to his embrouchure?

OK.. Go Bruins when they have the ball and go-- whatever USC is-- when they have the ball.. I can dig that.

[Brother Buzz]

58. I often wondered about that

He's a resourceful kid plus he picked up some very cool, yet unorthodox techniques from members of the Dave Brubeck band when he was playing the trombone in high school. Than being said, it's a moot subject because I neglected to mention he was just carrying a broken Sousaphone last week; a Johny-on-the-spot placeholder.

Bruins up by two touchdowns!

[pangaia]

61. 14-7 :>)

[NYC_SKP]

60. Do you mean this play returning a touchdown in the last second of the game?

[jaysunb]

64. BIG monkey wrench thrown into the championship !

[pangaia]

65. Absopositivelylutely !!!

Thanks for the replay !!

[dixiegrrrrl]

68. OMG.....that was spectacular.

Earlier today, around 11 am, I was thinking to myself, the only thing I miss about having no tv is sometimes I like to wach football games.

I missed a doozy, looks like.

but, thanks to you, and Youtube...this amazing play can be cherished for ever.

[MADem]

82. That kid makes it look like a walk in the park....! nt

[bvar22]

62. I was watching too!.. Unbelievable.

Combined with last week's miraculous, last minute, WIN against Georgia,
Auburn has some serious Mojo going into the post season.

I had only one comment... the same after both games:
"Gawd wanted them to WIN.

BOTH of these games will be talked about for 100 years.

Here is the video of "The Miracle Pass":

[pangaia]

89. That WAS stunning....

[cheapdate]

63. I feel dead inside. Nothing matters.

[pangaia]

67. Ohh,, sorry for your loss.

[Logical]

73. Maybe too arrogant. n-t

[oberliner]

66. Man, GD ain't what it used to be

Oh well.

[pangaia]

70. I posted in Sports but didn't see it anywhere.

so I reposted in GD.
My oppologies if that was the wrong thing to do.

[oberliner]

72. No worries!

It was quite an exciting finish, that's for sure.

[Logical]

74. Big enough story to post here. Alert or quit whining. n-t

[oberliner]

76. There wasn't a story though

Just felt kinda lounge-y. Didn't mean it to be a whine - just an observation.

If it was a story about the game, that'd be different. But I guess this is getting meta!

[Logical]

77. Biggest play of the year. Unbeatable Alabama lost. Worth being here. n-t

[oberliner]

80. Yes, but the totality of the the post was "Holy cow, did you see that?"

Doesn't that seem like a lounge post?

An article about the game or a paragraph describing its significance, and I'd agree with you.

[Logical]

81. OK, I see your point. A better title would be helpful! n-t

[Brother Buzz]

69. A 109 yard walk-off touchdown

or was it a 109 yard carry-off touchdown?

[pangaia]

75. I might call it a 109 yard run your ass off touchdown.

[Upton]

86. It wasn't an 109 yard TD at all..

in college, unlike the NFL, they don't count the yards in the end zone as part of the return..So, it's officially an 100 yard TD...

[Brother Buzz]

90. Picky, picky, picky

[d_r]

83. WAR DAMM EAGLE!!

[paleotn]

84. Saw it. Wow! Just wow!

....1 in a million! I was speechless. Absolutely speechless. I thought Saban made a good call, but man did that blow up spectacularly. Even at 57 yards, I figured the FG had a better chance of success than a hail mary and less chance of disaster. If missed, they just go to OT, no harm done. Wow was I wrong!!

[pangaia]

85. It was pretty gosh darn unbelievable, wasn't it.

[paleotn]

91. Yep!

...ranks right up their with the Cal multi-lateral against Stanford in what the heck was that incredibleness.

[WilliamPitt]

88. Flutie to Phelan, and that.

Best endings to games I've ever seen.
