Gus needs a processor to download his wtf games, but FSU isn’t one of them. Caught some bad breaks.
The kickoff return was huge...aided mostly by untimely injury.
Jimbo made a smart call to fake the punt. Reasonably unexpected. Smart in hindsight, sure.
AND WHOEVER THAT MOTHERFUVKRR WAS THAT COULDNT TACKLE AFTER A SIMPLE CURL ROUTE
Well, I feel better.

Early 4th Q, up 21-20. 3rd and 4 on FSU’s 6. Threw a damn pass. Run the ball with mason and Marshall. Kicked FG.
How is this a glaring mistake other than the fact that it didn’t work? What makes you think a run would work? Jernigan ate our lunch until he got tired last drive.

Agree. Coates was wide open in the endzone. Marshall was just terrible at short passes.

The 2013 NC is by far the worst loss in my lifetime. I may never get over it. Kelvin Benjamin over Chris Davis for the win will forever be etched in my mind. That and Tre Mason's premature Heisman pose...

If Parkey doesn’t miss the chip shot FG in the first half we go to OT. A lot of small if’s in that game that could’ve made a difference.

Longest and worst flight of my life. I had to drive from Pasadena after the game to Phoenix AZ to get on a 6:00am flight with my wife and boys. Then fly into Atlanta in a ice storm
I will never forget the great time we had in California. San Francisco, Driving the coastline and in Santa Barbara. Even the game and tailgate was great up to the last minute.
But that drive to AZ and the flight afterwards was brutal.

I feel your pain too. This is what I regrettably remember:
1. drove from LV to Sacramento. beautiful drive over.
2. stood in terrible long lines to get in the stadium and to go outside to even go to the bathroom. (remember they made you remove bottle caps before going into the game)
3. seating was good, the aisles were so small people have trouble getting my you.
4. The last excruciating minutes to defeat. We had that game. D let us down some.
5. Finding out getting back to our car that my son had locked the keys to our rental car in the trunk. Waited hours on that golf course for a wrecker to come unlock our car.
5. Terrible long drive back to LV
6. Then that ice storm. Couldn't get a rescheduled flight out until days later at moucha dollars.
7. drove a rental car all the way from LV to Montgomery, AL....no stopping. Letting my son and I take turns driving(only bc my son had a new job and HAD to be there first day. Yes the same one that locked our keys in the car). :)
Turrible memories...but what an experience. lol.

I don’t remember any glaring coaching mistakes that cost us the game
Yeah, I don't remember any specific plays other than the KR where our guy blew out his hammy. I do remember we were blitzing the hell out of Winston for about 3 qtrs and he was clearly rattled by all the pressure and we just stopped and started dropping and defending underneath. I couldn't believe it. I understand not wanting to give up a home run play or whatever, but it hasn't stopped us from bringing the house the entire game before the end of the 3rd qtr. I do remember being pretty frustrated by that philosophy.

I greatly enjoyed being at the Pasadena Natty to such an extent that the loss didn’t hurt me very badly. I was actually more hurt by the A&M loss within the next calendar year.
I think the football lifer in me was just so happy to be watching Auburn play in the freaking Rose Bowl for a national championship that, especially coming off a 3-9 season, I felt we were playing with house money. It kinda stings looking back and looking at all the IFs but it doesn’t change how I view that season or attending that game. I guess if we would have won it would have legitimately been nirvana.

I felt the same way you did, although we thought we were getting to be a somewhat dynasty after winning it all in 2011 and then going back in 2014.
We had a great time...and finally an Auburn team getting to play in the Rose Bowl for the first time ever(as you said).
But you have to look at the entire feeling, and having control of that game...slowly seeing it slip away...thinking we GOT this in the last 2 minutes of the game..to see victory snatched away in defeat....and then all the 'what else could go wrong' things that happened to my family before finally getting home.
I hate even writing this again...such pain(but smiling some)....

If true, you and I think very differently. Though heartbreaking and hard to watch, the TAM game was meaningless compared to the National Championship game that we were one play away from winning. A situation that Auburn was in where they had only been in the position ONCE in a 50 year period. A game that would have solidified Auburns position in the elite. It would have eliminated the "Once in a lifetime Player" conversation of 2010.
It would have been awesome to see that team finish on top after how that season went. They deserved it in my opinion.

Yep. Gus really had a lot of us fooled that season. Little did we know, he’d settle into mediocrity for the remainder of his career.

We were 7-1 and #3 in the CFP rankings going into that game. Win out from there and we would have been the #2 seed at worst.
Sure, that team ended up collapsing, but that loss knocked us out of the national championship picture for the first time in Gustav's HC career. While not quite as devastating as the BCSCG loss, it was the game that truly ended our run that started in 2013. We've come anywhere near that close just once in the 5+ years since then.

Man, thats a lot of ifs. While the other game, you Were already there. You were in the game. Not trying to get to the game by winning out. You were sitting there, one play from being the Champions of the College football world, twice in a 4 year period. Not trying to make it and run a gauntlet. But sitting there in the dance and about to do something never done before and something everyone said you couldnt.
One stop and its over.

Scored too quickly
If the FSU DB wraps up and makes the tackle, we would have had a 1st down at the 20 with 80 seconds left and all three timeouts. Barring a turnover, I'm almost certain we take the lead without leaving Winston enough time for a miracle of his own.
Ah well.

STOP STOP!!!
One stop...one fumble...one sack...one INT...
You're killing me and with all this college football shutdown talk...I just can't take it anymore.
