Who has rewatched the game?

I have to admit. I usually rematch all the games the next day. I attend all the home games, close away games and every bowl game. But the next day, I always watch the games on TV to see what I missed at the game.
We basically left the game and never got close to a TV or computer until today. I have not watched the game, ESPN, listened to the radio or even went to the ESPN website. I heard that Winston's speech after the game was bad but I have not watched that either.
It may take me a while on this one. Even though I am very very proud of the team and the accomplishments, I just don't think I want to watch the game now.
When you think about it, one play won the game. We won the battle on both sides of the ball and lost on a special teams play. Kinda fitting I guess but its a hard one to swallow.

Kind of hard to swallow when the one area everyone said we were better in than FSU, was the one area we fell flat on our faces. The offense did its job, the defense is what it is but played above their level. Special teams just had a complete meltdown. I wish I could explain it

Haven't even turned ESPN on. No desire to. I'll watch the Hawks game later, maybe some other basketball games, but I'm avoiding Sportscenter for a little while.

No I cant rewatch the game right now, not even sure if I'll ever watch it again. I'm still in the greiving process. This loss hurt a lot.

I'm in the same boat man. I haven't looked at the paper, watched espn or anything. It's one thing to lose when you feel like your team was inferior, but that is not the case here. I still maintain that the biggest play of that game was the fake punt. We would've gone up 28-3 at half and it would've been done. I am super proud of our guys and can only imagine how they are feeling right now. But it still sucks for a fan.

I have it recorded, but I haven't watched it yet. Might do that this weekend.

It seems most of us are alike. I've refused to put it on. Once the final seconds ticked away, I turned off the TV and started watching Hot Tub Time Machine with some more alcohol to drown my sorrows. Havent been on ESPN since. Posted on 1/8/14 at 3:26 pm to AUtigerNOLA
I watched it up until we scored and was up 21-3. Musburger was incredulous, talking about FSU getting blown out. I turned it off after that.

I have it recorded, thought about it last night and just decided I couldn't put myself through that again. Maybe this summer when I am desperate for football.

This was an issue with me. I had to leave the stadium and drive 6 hours to Phoenix. Wait 5 hours then get on a plane back to Ga. Then drive home with my family. I never slept a second or could have a drink. I was up 40 hours straight.
When I got home last night, I had a big tall drink and crashed. I can not remember sleeping that good in a long time. I could have peed myself and I would never have known it

I will never watch that game again. Even the Auburn highlights make me sad.

I just looked at my wife and said "frick this, I'm out" and went to bed. Woke up yesterday, and just laid around watching cartoons with my daughter. So glad I took yesterday off work. I would not have been fun to be around.

Not a complete meltdown. Clark showed out with his punts inside the 5 yard line. He put the defense in great situations. Some of the other aspects of special teams definitely had an off day.

I set the DVR to record the game before we left for our flight. I got in late last night and was looking around for something to watch just to go to sleep to. Nothing was on so I decided to flip through some of my saved DVR's. At the top of the list was the game. I had forgotten I even recorded it. I just stared at the title.....2014 BCS National Championship. The longer I looked at it, the worse I felt. Needless to say I quickly scrolled down and found that "Spies like Us" fit the bill. It may be this Spring before I can watch that game:-/

Seeing it once in the Stadium was enough

Salt, I have never "not" rewatched a game that I recorded. But I may not ever be able to watch it again. It just has a feel to it. I may just bypass it and not watch it

I have the same view towards that game that the bama spider monkey and teabagger has in rewatching video of them.
Just embarrassing and nothing I need to relive.

This loss has been very unique for me as a fan. Normally I'm very pissed right after a loss especially when Im at the game watching it live. After the final seconds ticked off the clock I just looked at my wife with a smile and said "what a season". It was obvious that she was in disbelief that I wasn't mad. I was fine on the drive all the way back to Vegas and then on the flight home but when I saw that title, it started to sink in how close we were to winning it all. I just feel bad for the seniors....to be so close.

I don't know what else to call it. We stopped them early in the game, then ran into the punter. I think that ended with FSU scoring the first 3 points. Failed to stop an obvious fake punt, they score a TD. We miss a chip shot field goal, costs us 3 points. Multiple dropped kicks. Give up a 100 yard kick return for a TD.
Special team miscues led to at least 14 to 17 FSU points, and it cost us another 3. That's half their points!! The fake punt also gave them a lot of momentum going into the half. Without special teams shitting the bed, it's not even a ballgame at the end.
