If you want, we could go grab some ice cream together? I won't tell anyone about it.

I appreciate it. Luckily, they didn't rile me up too much. I've only punched three ceramic plates, a porcelain doll, and an empty container of fabric softener.

2013 Vinnie Sunseri. Would have been on the field during kick 6 as he was on that special teams unit. Always wondered what could have happened had he been on the field. Probably wouldn’t have mattered though.

With no injuries, Bama wins the Natty in 16 and 18. Wins the SEC in 17 while going undefeated.

The 10 Bama team is also a lot better, likely beats LSU and Auburn that year. Which would have put Bama in a rematch for the SEC Title with South Carolina. Then probably play Oregon for the Natty.

So 3 more Nattys and 2 more SEC Titles for Bama.

Example: Nick Chubb doesn't get consumed by the grass @ Tennessee in 2015. Does Georgia lose that game? Michel even ran for 145 yards, in that game, so who knows.



Go further back...What if Robert Edwards hadn't broken his foot in the 4th quarter against UT. Georgia likely wins that game and goes on to win several more games (that was the second game of the season). More than likely, they win enough for Ray Geoff to keep his job.

What if punters only had one leg?

What if Jamal Lewis hadn't gotten hurt against Auburn in 1998. Tennessee wouldn't have had to rely on two Freshmen running backs and would have likely gone undefeated and won the National Championship. Wait...nevermind...

In retrospect, his broken foot was probably a blessing in disguise.

What if Donovan Wilson doesn't get injured for the season in the opening half of the UCLA game?

Does UCLA come back to win, since Wilson was actually capable of interceptions and Deshawn Capers-Smith (who was his backup and let a pick slip through his fingers for a touchdown) was not?

Does Kevin Sumlin make it through 2017 if Wilson doesn't get hurt?

If Johnny Manziel doesn't get hurt against Auburn, does the game go to overtime? (the one drive resulting in a field goal in the 2nd half was with Matt Joeckel at QB)

This is what I was looking for. Some thinking material. I enjoyed the ideas

And I'm not sure one player would have impacted K Sum. I've never disliked the guy as a coach, but don't have enough info to really say if he would have stayed. I remember watching a game or two where the players looked dejected, almost like it was all in or not at all. I could be mistaken.

They faltered under adversity once Manziel left.

I remember there being two or three QB's that were set up to progress into great players(after Manziel), and then they were either hurt or they just disappeared.

What if UGA beats Alabama in the 2012 SECCG and then beats ND for the Natty?

Mark Richt would still be at UGA.
