2005 vs the greatest CFB ever assembled...or so said all the talking heads. The 4th and goal to ice the game, gotta admit the confidence I had all season long was beginning to fade...then Superman did it! There was still time on the clock for Leinhart, Bush and White to do their thing...but our D stepped up big time that night.

2009 was such a disappointment, I was even more confident going into that game than I was with Vince and USC 4 years earlier...then the freak hit by Marcell Darius crushed all that. Even so our true Freshman QB and heroics by Jordan Shipley kept us in the game until the end.

Yep.. that one hurt pretty bad for multiple reasons..

1) We had a good chance to win that game if Colt hadn't gotten hurt..
(yes, yes I know.. laugh away, but it's true)

2) Mack completely changed his whole philosophy based on that 1 game, and the next 12 years would mostly suck because of that 1 decision. Turns out, the spread worked against Alabama.. and even Alabama changed their ways years later..
