I've snapped and cleared, too. To think about how far this program has come since Butch's first year is pretty impressive. Of course I wish we'd won, and we should've, but we didn't, and...well, I still remember walking out of Commonwealth Stadium in 2011 after losing to a WR at quarterback. This sucks, but to have taken a top 10 undefeated team on the road down to the wire while on crutches and turning over the ball seven times...this is a special team.

I'm upset at the missed opportunity, but going into the game I though we would probably lose. Injuries you can't prepare for but turning the ball over like that makes me mad,


Yep. The loss doesn't upset me as much as the fact that we could've easily won without all the mistakes. But I've snap/cleared as well. I really do think we have a shot this week, though the injuries obviously hurt that.

I wish we'd just gone for the throat and went for 2 on our last score.

thought we were gonna roll in OT with the momentum AND their defense tired. We had the opportunity to deliver but A&M was clutch in the OT.


Sumlin is weirdly nails in OT. I don't think he's lost one yet. Beat Arkansas in OT in 2014 and 2015, UCLA in OT to start the year, and now y'all. Games with differing momentum swings, too.

I don't get it, but there it is.

Oh I'm still feeling sad for sure. What could have been. But being objective 10-2 and playing for a shot at the SEC crown is what I expected for this season for a couple years now.

Never got butthurt to begin with. I mean we turn the ball over 7 times, had nearly 700 yards, saw an incredible amount of injures and we were already hurting on that front, took them to overtime despite all that and being on the road, and perhaps most importantly saw that our future is incredibly bright.

I hate losing but our depth was tested and passed with flying colors. At one point I just had to laugh at the turnovers (nothing else to do, really). To be in it despite that speaks volumes.

I was expecting to be upset but I just can't be. I'm proud of the team for fighting on the road and nearly pulling it of when no one gave us a chance.
