Because we'd won 3 titles with Saban by the time of the kick six and the Auburn team with Fairley and Cam was a lot easier to hate than the '13 AU team. We didn't know Saban would rattle off 4 titles in 2010, and adding an in state threat was a lot more frightening then.

The '10 IB hurt a little bit, but we all should have known going in some crazy shite was going to happen. Auburn was pulling out close wins all year and starting slow. The youth in Bama's secondary, plus getting beat up all year on the O-line didn't really make me feel we had any chance. All this game really did was bring me back down to reality and expect Auburn to win it all. I knew Bama would be right back next year with a loaded experienced roster, while Auburn was losing essentially everyone. In terms of painful losses, this one ranks right about where the '08 SECCG does.

Yeah, this is what made it especially sickening at the time. The program had finally turned around, won an NC, and all of the sudden Our instate rival had fallen into Cam Newton and were in position to do what we did.
That was a rough day. We got to the student section early to make sure we got decent seats, froze our damn asses off for 2 or 3 hours, watched a few AU players taunt the student section pregame, looked like we were gonna rip their hearts out, then it all melted away. Three hour drive back to my parents house for the rest of the weekend and I was fielding calls from AU fricks and other people wondering WTF happened. Id rather watch Kick Six ten times than watch a second of this again.
