Just got home from auburn. Holy shit.

And all I've heard from the mutts is how we got lucky, how the ball bounced our way, blah blah fucking blah. Nevermind the fact that at one point in the 2nd half we had 5 penalties in 6 plays. Nevermind the fact that they got a td at the end that they didn't really get. What's the good of replay if they are not going to use it correctly?

USC just got screwed in a very eerily similar call. Knee down at 1 yard line. Football not across goal line. Somehow a TD.

I don't get the replays being missed.  As for the shit that allowed what should have been an assbeating to turn in to a game like that?  I get it, but I don't.  Glad it ended with a W.  Much easier to handle the lesson learned when it didn't cost you a shot at all the marbles.

I am actually elated and pissed at the same time. I cannot believe our D almost basically choked the second half away. Credit Murray for great passes, yes... but Gurley and Murray runs were most disappointing.

Will take it any way I can get it. Glad I didn't bet. It was stressful enough.

- I've finally stopped shaking.  I believe I scarred my 5 month old son tonight.  We all screamed at the top of our lungs, and he freaked the hell out.  But it was good.  It was good for him to experience the elation of an Auburn classic win.

- That was a top five all time historic play in college football.  Flutie, Kordell, "The Band is Running onto the Field," Bluegrass miracle, and now the Miracle at Jordan-Hare. 

The implications were enormous.  Auburn was still alive for the SEC West, SEC conference, and BCS championships.  Auburn was 1-6 against their 2nd biggest rival and the only win came on the back of the GOAT.  Auburn had squandered away a victory that would have been describe as a blowout.  And it was 4th down and 18. 

I've never seen anything like it.  That was classic.  Generations from now, children will hear about that play and marvel at it in the same sense that we all have marveled at Punt Bama Punt and the Interception Game. 

- I wasn't there, but apparently, the eruption in the stadium beat out the 2006 Florida game.  I did my best to add to the noise from my living room.

- Now a bit of the uglies.  How do you give up a lead like that?  How do you allow yourself to go from absolute domination to playing like you have no chance at winning? 

Part of me is livid and disappointed.  But the rest of me is reminded that we are still a young and inexperienced group of players who haven't experienced this kind of success before.

No matter how far away we get from it and no matter what kind success we continue to have, 2012 still lingers around.  That's what tonight was.  A bit of 2012. 

In 2012, we were a group of misfits who had no chance at competing against Georgia. 

But think how different the experience has been for 2013.

We won our tough close games in the beginning of the season.  We learned how to fight and scratch and claw our way to a victory against Washington State and Mississippi State. (Unlike Miss State, Clemson, and LSU in 2012)

We learned that we would no longer struggle against patsy cupcake teams from small conferences when we played Arkansaas State (unlike against LA Monroe and Utah State in previous years)

We learned that we still had a journey ahead of us and that away games are a different beast when we were beaten by LSU.  However, we learned how to believe in ourselves and believe in Malzahn when we weren't just manhandled and we competed. 

We learned that we were an improved program when we beat Ole Miss and that no matter what the experts predicted, we had a chance at winning and winning convincingly as long as we executed the game plan. 

We learned that the LSU game was behind us when we went into College Station and beat the Aggies. 

We learned that many SEC teams were falling behind us and that we could dominate our opponents when we played Arkansas and Tennessee. 

And we learned that against good football teams that aren't bad like Arkansas and Tennessee, you can't expect to just blow them out by playing 3 good quarters.  That's what we learned tonight. 

- So while it hurt to see us almost lose, I'm appreciative for what we experienced tonight.  Our team got to grow up a little more while maintaining its position in the SEC and the BCS.

- I'm ready for them.  I want the next game badly.  I'm going to have a hard time waiting two weeks, but I know the team needs a good week of rest and then a great practice week leading into what will be one of the most important Iron Bowls in history.

- One more win.  That's the mantra right now.  One more win and we're no longer growing up.  One more win and we're competing for championships.  We're the adults. We're the team to beat. 

- It feels good.  Feels really good.

- And this probably should have been one of the first things I mentioned - How about Jake Fucking Holland?  Sure, he still had some fuck ups, but Holland also made some crucial plays.  A big pass breakup. A good tackle to prevent a first down.  Easily his best game of his career.

All the shit at the end has us forgetting the holy shit replay of the first drive. First and goal from the five. Tell me we would not have scored. Then the other shit is moot. We are still up by 2 points.

Replay was shitty, shitty, shitty tonight!

He also had the tackle that stopped Aaron Murray at the 3" line (regardless what the replay officials said, his knees and elbows were down before the ball touched the endzone line...it wasn't that hard to see it).

- Auburn also beat the officials as well.

For a min there, I thought you were just feeling the after effects of seeing me earlier in the day.

And oh yes folks - how bout USC? We MAY pass Oregon just on the win we had since UGA was ranked but I wouldnt count on it. And we'll at the least pick up the one spot up to 6 just due to Stanford.

Those dumb fucks just don't want to accept it. 

I didn't either, but now it's time to give this team the credit it deserves.

We just beat a Georgia team that was preseason top 5 that lost a few games because they had numerous injuries and they came in to Jordan Hare last night HEALTHY.  That's what they won't admit.  Georgia was healthy.

They had Gurley.  They got a few receivers back.  No one on defense was out.  Their line was in tact.

And we got up on them 37-17.  27-7 at one point.  Then when Georgia got back in it and took the lead, we still had enough dynamics to earn the victory. 

Keep em coming, media.  I can't wait to hear the excuses if we take down Bama.

Why certainly. It took the talking heads all of seven years to deconstruct the Malzahn offense to its lowest terms what with all of the talk about pace and motion with some gimmick plays thrown in for good measure.  Boy Nick Saban must be licking his chops knowing all he has to do is copy Todd Grantham's second half adjustments to give that high school coach a beatdown for the ages. It's as simple as 123.

Looking back we only had to convert one more first half drive into six instead of having to settle for a FG or the storyline would be Auburn hangs on by a thread to go 10-1 heading into the Iron Bowl.

I don't agree. 

What you saw was a young team that went to the fourth believing its own hype and then crapped the bed a little.  The stadium was in full party mode, the players were dancing, half the media had retired to write headlines about the statement Auburn delivered in abusing Georgia.  At the beginning of the fourth the ball was at the UGA 16, first down. Up 34-17. Hadn't stopped us all night.  Were about to make it 41-17 and set off fireworks. 

Funny thing happened.  Penalty. Penalty. Penalty. Took away a first and goal at the two. Ended up kicking a field goal.  Still 37-17.

Georgia comes out and are just playing out the string.  Trying to get out of there.  Short passes, runs up the middle. We're just keeping it in front of us, letting the clock run and thinking about the awesome parties later that night. And then a facemask penalty (shouldn't have been a 15-yarder but that's another topic).  Hit a pass, score and cut the gap. 

Georgia's still not in it.  Just something to keep it from being embarrassing. 

And then we get nervous. A little tentative.  Freeze up a bit.  Screw up a play that would have gotten a first down and go three and out. 

They get the ball back, hit a 22-yard pass and all of a sudden we're in full freeze mode.  Scared to make a mistake and be the goat. 

And it unravels. 

Outplayed?  Yeah.  Outcoached?  No.  Just a young team growing up. 

We'll learn from it and not get sloppy.  First game all year that Gurley played four quarters and Georgia lost.  That's a big deal.

Spot on with what I said.

Going into a bye week, I don't think we could have asked for a better outcome.  The coaches can point to 3 quarters and give the team confidence that they can not only compete with the best teams but dominate them.  Then they can point to the 4th quarter and light a fire under the asses about how they have to finish the game. 

We get a full week to do that without a game to prepare for.  Then we can focus solely on preparing for Alabama.

Nailed it

Grantham and Richt didn't do shit. Thinking either can outcoach Gus is hilarious. If anything gus outcoaches himself at times. We went away from what worked. We keep doing what we did first 3 quarters, it's probably a 48-21 score.

I really believe we started testing out plays deep in the playbook around the beginning of the fourth quarter.  We lined up in a formation I hadn't seen before when Marshall dropped the snap.

I got one other thought.  Prior to the Murray touchdown that wasn't but was, there was a kid near me who couldn't have been more than 15.  There were several girls. Every single one of them -- EVERY one of them -- was screaming "quarterback draw, quarterback draw, quarterback draw!!!"  I was doing the same. 

Why did Jake hesitate and watch McKinzy take the receiver on the cross, when that was clearly covered?  His hesitation in the middle of the field left it open for Murray. 

If I knew it was coming, children knew it was coming, cheerleaders, old ladies, llamas and arctic squirrels knew it was coming, how did it get missed.

Maybe I'm blaming him for something that wasn't his fault and McKinzy should have released the receiver, but it just seems like he waited too long to get where he was supposed to be. 

Also? Holding. Better get prepared for that, though.  Straight up tackling by that UA offensive line is permitted.  It's why their "great" OL prospects bubble out in the NFL.  Can't just grab people at will.

He also had the tackle that stopped Aaron Murray at the 3" line (regardless what the replay officials said, his knees and elbows were down before the ball touched the endzone line...it wasn't that hard to see it).

- Auburn also beat the officials as well.

Have seen the reply a few time, his first reaction at the goal  he was going to spot it and then looks like he changed his mind.

Who knows, On one of the other QB draws he got his jock faked out so bad that he was sitting down as Murray went by him.
He did grab Murray's flag though, that has to be considered a assist on the tackle...right?

Call it a conspiracy or whatever, but I believe there was a view of that angle. All the penalties in the last two Auburn drives and also this? We were not expected to win this game. Then....a miracle happen.

how hard is it to put digital cameras at the goal line on both sides to take rapid shots any time anything crosses the goal line. A still shot like this, coupled with real time would have easily reversed that call.

This way even if the live camera misses it, the still cameras would get it.

I find it very hard to believe that with the boasting of 843 camera CBS had at the game, the guy on this side of the play was turned around catching crowd reaction!

Speaking of all these camera angles and replays, one thing I've noticed that's way different from years past is the number of replays in JHS.  What used to frustrate me is if there was even a hint of controversy on a play, you got the one standard replay on the Prowler...err, Jumbo-tron.  This year, they're basically giving you what the TV broadcast is showing.  I was sitting in section 2, back up under the upper deck overhang and there are TVs mounted everywhere.  They were showing different angles of the play, complete with telestrator scribbles.  I think it was at that point that 77K in JHS celebrated and said "He was stopped.....Auburn ball."

After further review, the ruling on the field stands.  Touchdown Georgia.

A while back, they stopped showing the controversial replays at stadiums. Some crowds and fan bases were just too suckass to handle it. I think the powers to be at AU realize WE are not just SOME fanbase. We can handle it with a bit more class than others. It is what sets us apart as a fanbase.

No matter where I have been all over the world, I can meet a fan of a different school and they always comment about what a great time they had when visiting AU (win or lose).

That type of attitude affords us the benefit of seeing the replays in our stadium. Not many schools show those.

Guess the refs are equal opportunity screwer overers. 

Constant complaints today about not getting either the Coates fumble or the later one, the bogus penalty on Richt and AU not getting flagged for targeting on the last play of the game.  Pictures circulating "proving" it was targeting.

He was open, but due to the pressure from the front four, Erin Murray had to scramble a bit and by the time he got ready to release the ball, Dee Ford had already targeted him and was in the middle of planting him into JHS.

WHAT IF???

Quote
When the final BCS rankings release in a couple weeks, we may have to ask ourselves the dreaded question next year’s four-team playoff system is hoping avoid — Who is college football’s best one-loss team?

The SEC could have a dog in the fight, perhaps two if Auburn beats Alabama in the Iron Bowl on Nov. 30 then wins the following week in Atlanta. There’s Mizzou as well who is quietly sitting at 9-1 with a team strong enough on both sides of the football to also win out.

Hypothetically speaking, if Auburn — currently 6th in the BCS — finishes its season with wins over top-ranked Alabama and a possible Top 6 Mizzou, it would be the nation’s most attractive one-loss team. The computers, which make up one-third of the BCS formula, love Auburn. The Tigers are ranked third in 3-of-6 computer polls. They aren’t nearly as fond of Mizzou, currently as low as 11th by one of the computers (Billingsley).

Mizzou would catapult itself up the rankings with three consecutive wins over Top 25s (Ole Miss, A&M and Alabama/Auburn) to end the season, but it’s unlikely that would be enough to unseat other one-loss teams ahead of the Tigers should they win out.

In this scenario, a 12-win Auburn could cause a BCS meltdown in Columbus should the Tigers finish percentage points higher than say, an unbeaten Ohio State. Jumping over BCS newcomer Baylor would be more difficult since the Bears will likely move in front of the Buckeyes this weekend if they take care of business at 10th-ranked Oklahoma State.

It all remains a bit fuzzy, but that’s what makes games in late November so much fun in a sport where the regular season really does matter

Here’s a projected look at what would happen if Auburn or Mizzou wins out and Florida State, Ohio State and Baylor all remain unbeaten:

Auburn: 12-1 (late-season wins over No. 1 Alabama + Top 10-ranked South Carolina OR Mizzou) = At best, it appears the Tigers could finish third in the final BCS rankings, ahead of Ohio State but behind Florida State and Baylor. Though Auburn’s in a similar predicament that Mizzou’s in behind one-loss Oregon, the Tigers wouldn’t have to make up near as much ground to pass the Ducks and they’d have two wins over ranked teams to boot.
