We were so lucky to run for 300 yards on Bama, 10202874774 on Mizzou and win the SEC. People remember the luck pass against UGA but forget they were getting their dicks buried in the dirt prior to that. People remember kick 6 but forget the 4 defensive stands prior to that as well as the t.o that Gus called to set the return up.


You can't have it both ways, chump. Auburn beat Georgia on an undebateably lucky play, and you reference how they were "getting their dicks buried in the dirt prior to that." Well, that's pretty much what Alabama was doing to Auburn before kick-six. So the tone of the game before the end either matters or it doesn't, but one way or the other you're just being a homer if you won't admit that Auburn lucked out.

Pretty good point actually. Although there are a couple of differences. The Bama game was a really good close game and then Bama hit a 99 yard super-improbable pass that looked like it might have put it out of reach. Auburn was racking up 300 yards rushing...they weren't getting their dicks knocked in the dirt...but yeah, I get your point. The first 3 1/2 quarters of the Au/UGA game, it was obvious at every snap of the ball that Auburn was the better team...I don't know if it was complacency, or just really good leadership and belief on UGA's part that kept them believing they could win, but the game was still close enough and they put together some magic. They really were getting their asses kicked...Auburn just wasn't putting the nail in the coffin (redzone issues if I recall).

The other difference is that Auburn really needed a miracle to win. They should have lost to UGA. I think most objective fans believe that had the Iron Bowl gone to OT, Auburn would have won. Auburn had all of the momentum, and a senior kicker. Bama had lost all momentum and had one ruined kicker and a freshman. Auburn 80+% would have won the iron bowl w/o the kick six.
