On 30A spending Thanksgiving with my family.

Side note, the night before we left for the trip, one of my kids had been up all night getting sick with a stomach bug. On the way down, my other kid throws up in the car (just so happened to be our new car's first road trip).

All that happened on Tuesday/Wednesday so I thought my wife and I were clear by Saturday. Well it hit me Saturday night and I was up all night puking. Want to take one guess what was on SC highlights all night while I was going back and forth from bathroom?

It was a short bug so I was good by the morning, just exhausted. All I wanted to do was sleep in the car. I get finished loading the car to leave and after I take the last load down and we are ready to go, I come back in house and my wife is puking and says she can't drive.

F Auburn, F stomach bugs.

Sitting in my uncle's cabin on our land in Boligee, AL. We had actually gotten word from my mom during the first half that my grandmother died. Bama was up 21-7 at the time and my uncle said, "At least we're going to kick Auburn's arse". Then the second half happened. I'm sure we would have flipped the eff out after Davis returned the kick, but with my grandmother passing away it wasn't that important

I was at a watching party full of about 20 Bama fans. Me and 1 other Auburn fan jumped silently in joy in the back of the living room.

Twin Peaks in Addison Texas. Place went nuts. I remember thinking that lots of people must be envious of Bama to get a reaction like this in a Dallas bar.

....a very true statement. I remember as a kid hating the Yankees because they always beat my Dodgers, and they were so ....good.

I havent been to Frans in a long time... remember living their burgers when I was a kid. Changed the name didnt they?

I was at Bru's Room in Pembroke Pines. Only AU fan there. Everyone was watching the Miami game, until I flipped my barstool when I jumped up screamimg "RUN YOU BASTARD!"

Whole place exploded when Davis hit the 40. Few people bought me shots, then some dude came up and said "I just made 5g on this game." Shook my hand, turned to the bartender and paid my tab.

Great night.

But I felt then, and still feel, that we would have likely lost in OT and the long kick was the right call.

Has to be one of the craziest endings ever, but I think you are right. Saban could feel momentum had shifted so he took the long shot. If it had worked, it would be one of those amazing games of the year.

EDIT --- in high school Chris was lethal on kick offs and punt returns. From just one season, we could make a highlight reel of just those plays.

The return made it one of the most amazing of all time. I remember hearing Howard Stern talk about the game, he did not know anything about the game or who was playing, he just said he had never seen a crowd at a bar go so wild.
