09 SEC Championship is the game, and it's not close. I guess the tip toe sideline scramble by Mcelroy

Serious Answer: the Upchurch TD in the '09 Iron Bowl. A loss in that game would have killed their momentum going into the SECCG. Imagine the pressure to win in '10 after three seasons, $12+ million in salary, and not even an SEC title to show for it.

Unserious Answer:in December of '06, when Mal Moore answered the phone right after the RichRod deal hit the airwaves, only to hear Jimmy Sexton screaming "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR frickING MIND YOU STUPID a-hole?!?!!?!?"

Dareus hit on Colt McCoy or the 1 second kick?


I'd say the blocked kick @ UT. I mean you guys were what, a 3 td favorite or something crazy?

It actually took place OFF the field, when in December 2011, seven BCS Human Poll voters actually DROPPED 12-1 3rd ranked Oklahoma State to 5th or 6th AFTER they had destroyed former #1 Oklahoma to win the Big 12 Championship.

This ensured that Saban's lobbying at the SECCG and in NY and also the media's puzzling desire for a "DO-OVER" and these 7 voters' power 'hey-look-at-me' attitude would vault the 3rd place SEC team OVER a 12-1 Conference Champion (with a much better and stronger SOS than alabama - supposedly a BCS hallmark calculation) into a farce of a match-up and thus penalize the season-long #1 team and SEC Champion.

Two questions:
(1) Why even """""""""""" PLAY """""""""""""" the SEC Championship Game if the #3 team in the SEC was allowed to play the team it had lost to at HOME head-to-head in the NATIONAL championship game ??????????????????????????????????????


(2) Why was Michigan not given a """ DO-OVER """
in the 2006 BCSNCG in January, 2007 vs Ohio State ???????????????????????????????????

The unvaried story of the legendary phone call. Many believe it to be absolute truth. Others believe no part of it. Depends on who and what you want to believe on it. I've heard it from enough people with connections to Mal that I believe the call did, in fact, take place. Mal said they needed a coach now as there was concern over losing the recruiting class and Sexton told him if you wait a month you'll not have to worry about recruiting again.
