Yes, really. Cam will always leave a sour taste in every bama fan's mouth and most only hope the worst for him. It's a beautiful thing to see.
This weird obsession with making sure Cam and the 2010 Auburn game are the single worst moment of all Alabama fan's life, regardless of what anybody says, is truly Auburn at it's best.
Yea, it sucked, but it's just one of a few really sucky games we've had the last few years. It certainly isn't in some league of it's own. We lost 3 games that year.

Yep - you just knew we couldn't keep holding on for dear life defensively, especially once Clemson got up towards 70-80 plays early in the 4th quarter. The dam was going to break.
Yep

Honestly, I had emotionally conceded defeat once Clemson scored with 6 or 7 minutes left. Jalen's score was incredible, but there was clearly still a feeling of ehhh this is very much not over.
Same here

Completely felt the same way. It was not pessimism but just realism based on how everyone was playing at that point.

And, like I said, Clemson made all the plays. After the game last year, it just kind of felt like the same thing except the big play meter shifted over to Clemson, and it helped them win. Not really mad at all. Disappointed, obviously, but it was not hard to admit that team earned the title.
That's exactly how I felt last year. Our boys played their hearts out, but Alabama took advantage of every mistake and won the game with 4 huge plays.
Losing on a fluke play is the kind of loss that lingers and sticks with folks for a while. Maybe not more painful, but more memorable, at least.
What I find so crazy with regards to Bama, and even Clemson last year, is how it just takes 1 or 2 guys out with injury to totally disrupt how a defense would normally play and affect the rotation. If Eddie Jackson's healthy, I'm guessing that Hunter (as much as I love him) probably isn't tearing up a reserve DB.

But the thing is, those types of injuries only really show up when you are playing another team that is at the very top of their game with a multiple of great players.
Eddie's absence wasn't even a blip on the radar against anybody else - and we played some solid teams post-injury. But Clemson's army of great receivers and QB made it look like we had a walk-on scrub out there in his place. Great teams take advantage.
After walking out with Clemson folks last year and dealing with them and how gracious they were, but how disappointed I could tell they were, it really wasn't hard at all to feel good for Dabo, your fans and your players. It really frickin sucked, because losing on the last play on the national championship game with a chance to go back to back is not fun, but honestly if we had to do it I'd pick Clemson every time. So, with all that, it was pretty easy to wake up the next morning and just kind of sigh and move on.

I think our guys understood it was now or never this year, and getting another shot at Alabama poured a little gas on the fire.
We'll probably take a good step back with so many contributors moving on, but if we never get back, I can say I experienced one..no more ghost tales of 1981 lol
Good luck to Bama, I'm sure Nick will have you guys back in the playoff at least next year. If Jalen develops (and I'd be shocked if he doesn't with another year under his belt), y'all will be even tougher to beat.
That FSU tilt in Atlanta is gonna be fierce.

You can see the real pain in the Bama fans who claim it was this year.
They can't even admit the truth about what kick six did to them.
Some have been honest and to those you can see they understand how therapy works. Congrats to you all
No doubt. That was the only Alabama loss I can recall where I had to just go outside and stare up at the sky for a while.

Didn't you guys have a couple of defensive players get injured? I'm fairly sure they would have made a difference especially on that out pass to OJ Howard.

That should be a helluva game. Honestly, whoever loses won't necessarily be out of the title hunt either.

Group of 4 of us literally did not say a single word for the 3 hours walking from the stadium until pulling into our driveway in Atlanta. Not one word.
The only saving grace was that Auburn didn't capitalize by beating Florida State. But that was a very slim silver lining.

Kick six, and it isn't even remotely close.

Monday night wasn't that bad. Got beat by a better team. I'm confident Bama will be back next year so nothing really to get upset about. 4 Championships since Saban arrived makes it pretty easy to move and know that another one is just around the corner.

Kick 6. Other than the thousands of Auburn fans who recently jumped onto the Clemson bandwagon, we won't have to deal with Clemson fans for an entire year.
I was over the title loss shortly after it happened. Auburn fans rolled Toomers

Sorry, I don't have nightmares about Cam Newton and the 2010 game. That team lost 3 games and went to the Citrus Bowl. Losing to Auburn sucked, and Auburn going on to win the title sucked, but it that was our worst team since 2008. We lost by 14 points to Stephen Garcia. We lost to LSU on a reverse to a tight end. And again, we went to the lame arse Citrus Bowl, the only time in the last 9 years we haven't been in a title game, playoff or BCS bowl.
It is in the pile of crappy losses the last 10 years. A pile that is really small, but has some stingers.
Also, since that game we've beaten Auburn 5 of 6, won 3 national titles and 4 SEC Titles. So, it's worked out ok.

Spot on, notice how many jumped in this thread trying to force upon us that the 2010 Auburn game, a game Bama came into with already 2 losses, is worse than losing a national title or the chance to 3 peat. Truly an Auburn mentality.
I was reminded the other day of when Saban was announced as head coach of Alabama. My obnoxious Auburn friend kept telling me "Saban has a losing record against Tuberville! Good luck breaking the streak!" My reply was "Yeah, but Saban has won a national title, has Tubs?"
Auburn cares about nothing but the Bama game, Bama plays for titles. Barn is just a game on the way to that title.

Before playing the mulligan game, that LSU was being considered as possibly one of the greatest teams. So frick you loser.
ETA: A greatest of all time team doesn't lose to Clemson either.

Greatest teams of all-time don't lose, period. I'm not sure what "Clemson" means, that's a damn good football team that would have whipped the shite out of everybody else in the SEC (just like Alabama did).
Clemson has been a better program for the last 5 years than anyone in the SEC not named Alabama.
