Caleb was a big loss for y’all. Bond spent most of this season with an ankle injury so I doubt he would have made much impact.

What if Texas joined the Pac-12 in 2011? It probably takes OU and a couple more west. The Big 12 would be dead now instead of the Pac-16.


I wanted that move so bad back then and was so pissed off of the ags for ruining it. Hindsight. I should be thanking them now for saving us from that move

what? The Pac would still be alive today if we had moved there and taken a few teams with us. Of course the idiotic Pac leadership could have still imploded the conference, but I think with all the original members plus us, BlowU and a couple others (Tortilla Tech and Okie Lite?) it would still be a very viable conference.



That's what I said. The Big 12 would be dead now - if Texas went to the Pac in 2011.

Agree. SEC is much better.

What if the basketball officials properly called the double dribble on Virginia in 2019?

If Bear Bryant never left Vanderbilt.

Where would the program be today?

What if Saban stayed at LSU.
Next would be what if Bo Rein hadn’t tragically passed away.

Auburn didn’t give up the first down on the fake punt against FSU at the end of the second quarter of the national championship game.

fricking cursed game.

If Tre Mason goes down inside the 5 instead of scoring.

If our KO cover guy doesn't get cramp on the ensuing kickoff.

Would have been the greatest turnaround in college football history. From 3-9 to National Champs. What could have been...

What if LSU didn’t have to play Alabama 2 times that year? We would have murdered Oklahoma St.

This is actually a really good one. Does UA play for a championship? They likely keep Shula a few more years- so where does Saban end up?

Two refs right there, watching.

What's the first thing you learn as a kid playing basketball -- you can't double dribble.

What if Hodson's pass in 1988 is incomplete?

Auburn finishes the regular season unbeaten and plays Notre Dame in New Orleans for the title instead of an overmatched West Virginia.


As an AU fan, I have several.
What if AU scores a TD in the Sugar Bowl in 83? Everyone said "national champs score touchdowns" but that was a cop out. The media hype over Nebraska and Miami was ridiculous. Still, if we solidly beat Michigan, do we get a coaches poll title?

What if the refs don't call Brent Fullwood down when his legs were still moving against UGA in 1986? AU goes into the bowl season at 10-1, who knows what happens then- but Penn State and the U were solidly #1 and #2.

What if AU is not on probation in 1993? Could they have beaten FSU or Nebraska?

What if AU got to play in the title game in 2004- not sure they could have beat USC, but who knows.

Obviously, 2013 national title what ifs.

What if LSU hires Steve Spurrier instead of Mike Archer


This is my number one. The state of Louisiana with all its talent at the skilled positions would have provided spurrier the opportunity to build the same offense at LSU that he had killin’ it at Florida.

What if Colt didn't get hurt vs Bama - Does the Bama dynasty get delayed ? Does Mack retire in a better spot for the teams health ?

What if Gideon doesn't drop that easy arse interception ? How do we do vs Florida in the MNC ?

Texas hires Franklin instead of Strong ? Would we have missed our decade of irrelevance ?

Will add this, What if Craig Curry doesn't fumble or even field that punt in the 84 Cotton Bowl? Texas wins vs Georgia (9-3) and would be National Champions. Akers would have been coaching longer, recruiting wouldn't have fallen.

MSU paid up and met Cam and his father’s terms in 2010.

MSU would have been in the BCS mix easily in 2010.
