Sorry to age some people. Is it really like kissing your sister? Was watching the choke at doak. How that could end tied I don’t know. At the bar do you talk shite about coming back and tieing? Or how did that work

No but I was at MSU’s loss to Auburn 3-2. What a terrible thing to watch.

Came to post this. Not a tie on the scoreboard but both fanbases hit the rock bottom of pride that night

It's like walking in on someone dropping a load. You saw it but wish you hadn't.

Last one I remember us having was 1985. Rules changed in there somewhere after that.

LSU vs Ohio State in late 80s.

I think playing to a tie ended after the 1995 season, so no...I never attended a tie football game unless we count my kid's pee-wee careers.

It was like watching a car crash at 5 MPH.

Ala-LSU in Baton Rouge. 14-14? Shula was our QB. Humphrey got hurt early in the game. LSU missed a short FG late and then Perkins sat on the ball and ran out the clock. I was young. All I remember.

I was at the 1985 Bama-LSU game
*** As above mentioned.
***Bama scored with a 1:30:00 left and kicked an extra point instead of going for 2. Then LSU drove and missed a FG. I just remember Bama fans being just as mad syaing Bear Bryant would have gone for 2.

Yes. 1990 AU vs TN. Also 1994 AU vs UGA.

Bama 17 - UT 17 (‘93). Palmer got it done at the QB position.
Even though it was in the midst of a solid Bama win streak over UT, that tie felt like a win in the stadium. Great childhood memory.
ETA:
Final drive
Give me this scene over the LED’s, music, and replay screens please.

It was the right call. We hadn't moved the ball much all day. I think Shula and a few RB's were really banged up. Very lucky we got the shank too.
It was a good game.

didn't we got for 2 on the half back pass? or was that the TD?

The Crimson Tide used a gadget play to tie the game, with Jelks throwing to Shula for a 2-yard touchdown. Van Tiffin's extra point made it 14-14 with 1:24 to play.

Unless a tie directly wins you a championship, advances you a round, or in any other way directly helps you in winning a championship I don’t see how I would ever consider it a good call to go for a tie. Maybe I’m wrong and just not alive in the moment but I have to try and win for 2 yards

nope

No but was listening to the Auburn - Syracuse Sugar Bowl game on the radio as I was driving. It seemed selfish not to try and win on the last play, like Dye was more concerned about adding a loss to his record than a win for the team.

I mean we barely scored at the end of the game. This was before you could move the ball down field in a hurry. Teams didn't pass like they do today. So different. Shula had completed only 14 passes for 150 yards. Our WR's caught 4 passes all day. And the no losing streak in BR was intact.

Choke at Doak

I was at the 1995 Texas-Oklahoma game, which ended in a 24-24 tie. The Cotton Bowl stadium crowd was of corse half burnt orange and half crimson, and it was like nobody knew how to react at the end. None of the typical trash-talking in Fair Park afterwards, everyone just quietly left the stadium to go to the beer stands to contemplate what had just happened. It was weird.
