No the biggest blunder of the iron bowl was AUBIE dropping a punt..short of that you are not even paying attention to this board today...Bama so sucked whole game.

Winners find ways to win. Losers, well, they go cry on a message board about how unfair it is.

Cry more cow fricker.

That's not so much a blunder as it wasn't a conscious decision by the player to drop the punt. I doubt he was thinking to himself, "You know what, I think I'm going to let this punt hit the deck just to see what happens..."

Auburn took a time out prior to that 4th & 31, and made a conscious decision to only rush two guys while keeping another player back to spy on Milroe. What sense does the spy make in a situation like that? If he somehow rolls to his left, dodges nine Auburn defensive players, and sprints into the end zone for the touchdown, then give him the Heisman. Because that's not going to happen. The spy was useless and could have been used to add additional pressure to Milroe, forcing him to roll out or to rush his throw.

And this is why Ron Roberts has earned a ring if Bama wins it.

Remember in 2013 Aubbie needed the miracle in the meadow to beat UGA and the disaster in the pasture to beat Bammer?

it might rank up there as the biggest blunder in the history of the Iron Bowl.


2010 has to be up there. Up 24-0.

It's amazing that the only difference between bama being considered a championshiip contender and an also-ran is a back-up punt returner's feet sliding out from under him.


If Clemson had a legit kicker instead of trotting out a Wall Street intern that they got on the roster days before, FSU is out. These things happen.

Even we knew better

Same exact situation. It’s endzone or bust from a long way out, one stop wins the game

If the roles were reversed we would see every barn fan put a "4th and 31" sticker on their vehicle.

Asterisk game. Aubbie played a player who was a paid employee in the game

I saw a brand new vehicle the other day, dealer temporary tag still attached and everything, with a fricking "0:01" bumper sticker. Did this loser buy extras to stick on subsequent vehicles for the rest of his life or does Auburn still sell them?

In order to win a national championship luck sometimes has to side with you. Look at 1998 Tennessee. All that stood between them and missing a national championship was Clint Stoerner not using the football to balance himself after slipping on some grass


Which is textbook definition of “down”

But let’s not pick that scab

Auburn could have saved you all from having to deal with this. I mean how many of you wake up in a cold sweat at night remembering that play?

If Alabama ends up winning the National Championship, then Auburn should hang a championship banner for helping Bama get to this stage.

I'll even say that Hugh Freeze should get a ring.

Bama's olinemen were playing patty-cake with those 2 Auburn defenders while Milroe kicked back and waited for his man to get open. And what the hell was AU DB #10 doing loitering around in the endzone instead of helping his man?

It was hilarious watching the droves of folks out shopping in Montgomery at EastChase dressed in O&B with AU flags hanging off the cars on the Sunday after the IB. They were AUbnoxious and proud.

The 4th and 4 "catch" from the Georgia 37 for 22 yards to the 15 that wasn't reviewed is probably bigger. It probably turned the game, and made Alabama "champs".
