I warned you guys this one coming. If you don't want to hear about the FSU game, quietly pull the cord and exit the bus..
Got in from my trip at lunch, had a drink and watched the game finally. Overall, it did not hurt as much as I thought. It really drove home how damn close we we're but in turn, gave me even more confidence that we will be very good this year.
Since I was at the Rose Bowl and have not redacted the game or any of the coverage of the game, I did learn some things. My view is probably very similar to what you guys saw and have talked about but here they are.
The crowd showed up for both teams. We were loud. Very loud. The FSU fans were loud late but that was a easy time to get up.
Ben Bradley was a beast in this game. I saw him out of position a few times but he was a man child inside
Kris Frost was very up and down. He made some unreal plays then would turn around be totally out of position. Kid is very athletic and can be a beast this year if he gets his head straight
The fake punt in the second quarter by Jimbo was a great call and was executed perfectly. We should have known it was coming but even if we did, picking up a few yards was pretty easy with that play.
The two misses killed up. The game should have been 31-10 at half. No much else to say about that. Its pretty much fact.
Winston was totally shocked in the first half but I got to give the crabby credit. He stayed in there in the second half and made some good throws. Like him or not, he played way over his head
Mason Heisman pose was dumb
The PI call on Davis with 15 seconds left in the game was meh.. I would have had a hard time throwing that flag in that situation. The ball was not catchable.
I won't hold Davis accountable for the last TD to Benjamin. That was a perfect route and a perfect pass by the kid. No way Davis could have defended it.
I still don't know how we lost that game even though they made some plays. We did not execute on big plays and they did. The pass to Louis was just pathetic. Bad pass but still should have been caught. Parkey missing the FG was crap too.
I really felt like watching this game would be worse. But the timing was right. i feel very good about this year. Marshall can be better than we have had in a long time. He has everything he needs right now. If he can stay healthy, we can dominate on offense. The additions we have added with the support that is left could be very good.
As I promised, after this thread, Im over it.
Of yea. frick that Kick off return

I gave you shite last week because I "scheduled" this week. Check your company emails sometime.
Our defensive line was stout in that game. Reminded me a lot of our performance against Oregon in 2010. The games were similar. Ben Bradley, Nosa and Wright all played well. I still say Gabe Wright will be awesome this year…

Like I said in the other thread, its not that bad. There's a lot to build off of. Auburn went toe to toe with a team that was beating others at an historic level before the BCSNC. Never thought it would be possible at the end of 2012.
Still should've won though...

There was really no excuse to lose once we had them down. We let them back in. I know that a loser thing to say but we let them in and they took it back from us.
Marshall was the reason we were there and the reason that we ended up losing it in the end. Him mission wide open receivers killed us
But in turn, his two passes to Coates on the last drive were beautiful.
Oh and Mussberger was extra turrible in that game.

Saw it coming a mile away. Even the body language on the punting team gave it away.
So angry that it happened, and worked. It completely changed the momentum for the rest of the game.
Also, never for the rest of my life will I buy that BS Jimbo was selling about us stealing calls. What a baby.

Same shite we said about Alabama in the 2010 iron bowl. Its just a smoke screen. Teams steal signals when they can.
Jimbo found out in that game, as did Winston, how easy the opponents they played all year. He was extremely lucky to get out of there with a win

I was there and never got to see the TV footage. That night was crazy for me and I forgot a lot of what happened.
Right after the game, I drove 6 hours to Phoenix to get on a plane. I was a fricking zombie.. When i got home, i was too butthurt to watch it so I waited.
It was really not as bad as I thought it would be. Just rip the bandaid off and get it over with.

Nope. Haven't watched it. Won't ever watch it. I didn't even read this thread and won't read this thread.

That night got ugly for me. I missed out on about $8k on AU moneyline bets. Then after getting good and shitfaced, my angry and ignorant self proceeded to lose about $3k early in the morning in vegas. Then I missed my flight. Then I couldn't catch a flight out the next day and ended up booking a crazed flight around the country to get home at 7am Thursday morning at which time I drove to work and worked all day.
I blame every fricking thing on that game. Cannot watch. Ever.
