Alabama could and probably should have been up 35-0 before Auburn scored its first touchdown in the second quarter. Not only that...but we left another 3-7 points off the board with McElroy's fumble at the goal line.
shite just happened but the way we played in the first half, the score should have been 38-7 or 42-7 at the break.
At the very least, if Richardson doesn't drop that easy TD, Alabama is up 28-7 going into the locker room. Alabama likely wins the game with that TD reception.
Didn't Alabama have a 99 yard pass when the corner fell down ? shite happens, but the woulda, coulda, shoulda bunch are a bunch of pussies.

No. At least not in the 2010 Iron Bowl. The pass in question was the fly route to Julio Jones. The corner released him, thinking the safety had him, but no one went with him and Julio got the wide open pass for the 75-yard TD.

Talking 2013. In 2010, Cam could have scored 50 in the second half, Bama's D was toast by that time and their Offense only generated a FG after a muffed punt.

Ok buddy. Not every field goal is kicked directly at a defender waiting in the end zone.
The word luck would have never been used to describe it had it not been for UGA tipping the ball to Auburn's WR and it being called luck. Now if Bama had him cornered and the players just all fell down then maybe but a simple return is not luck.

A playmaker making a play has absolutely nothing to do with luck. It's just silly to say that play was lucky. One coach took a chance and the other countered. That's all there is to it.

As has been stated any good season has some breaks in it, but that isn't luck.
In bold above...none are examples of luck. In reverse order Fairley manhandled your OL and caused the fumble. You admit as such on Ingram's fumble, when the Auburn player made the play.
The Ingram fumble staying in bounds bouncing down the sideline for 20 yards was pretty damned lucky. Auburn took it from there in a very impressive fashion, but without that fumble rolling through the endzone like a bowling ball I doubt Auburn wins that football game.
It is what it is, we've all had things like that happen to us and for us before. Alabama doesn't go to Atlanta in 2015 without 4th and 25. We all have some measure of luck in our great seasons.

You're probably correct but, as an Auburn alum, it was awesome.

It's just a play. If bama scored Auburn would have had to score another TD at the end of the game. If you remember the game that doesn't seem all that impossible. Auburn's D rising up and stuffing bama also doesn't seem all that hard to envision. In the end the play happened and Auburn won...it wasn't luck.

bullshite. If Cam could have scored 50 then Cam would have scored 50.

Its not as good as the now removed pic from the AU paper, but this shows the grab and the pull.

The flow of the game created more conservative play calling once the game got close. Like I said AU scored 4 TD in their last 6 possessions while playing conservative toward the end. Bama punted 4 times, fumbled and ended game on downs the second half. The only score was off a muffed punt.

I don't know George. I hear you and normally I'd agree with that, but I've never seen a ball bounce 20 or more yards right darn beside the out of bounds line, and then 10 more yards out the back of the endzone. It was just bizarre.

I swear that ball curved back in like a professional bowler hitting a strike.

I'm surprised that you didn't watch the game. Millions of others did.

Although they won the games rather comfortably, I'm still a firm believer that Ole Miss would have choked either the LSU or Mississippi State game had the West really been on the line.

Or lost to us again, putting 11-1 Bama in the CFP regardless.

Perhaps. Didn't think about that scenario. Who was the alleged #5 team that was left out in '15?
