"The play was not designed for a long pass," Saban said. "It was a seven-yard out route to the tight end, but they were playing bump-and-run, and the read is to throw it over the top on that. We weren't trying to run up the score. If they didn't want us to throw it over their heads, they shouldn't have played bump-and-run."

Saban has spoken. Auburn fans have no right to complain that we ran up the score now.

Typical Auburn fan BS

They are the worst losers. I even saw one fan after the game on al.com write, “So what? You beat us during a down year.” What!? What the hell do you think WE’VE been on for the past six years, Barner? We had NCAA sanctions, a loss of 21 scholarships, and a novice as a head coach. What the hell is YOUR excuse?

TD pass by a backup

whose thrown a grand total of about 5 passes all year is not running up the score.

After 6 loses in a row

We should have put 60 on them. Quit crying boogs and start worrying if you coach will be back next year!

When you are an Alabama fan you have to hate Auburn, I hate Tennessee because i want to.

I'm getting this crap

every day by my Auburn friends. Just nothing but excuses.

“It was a down year for us.” to which I reply “It’s been a down 6 for us, so what.”
“Nick Saban ran up the score!” to which I reply “It was a second team offense that scored on your first team defense. Let that sink in.”
“Why did Saban ice that kicker? That was totally unfair!” to which I reply “Why did Tubs call that challenge on our 4th down spot in the redzone? That was totally unfair!”

and then there’s the

“Florida’s gonna whup ya’ll good!” to which I say “They aren’t going to run away with anything.”
“Tebow’s gonna run all over your defense!” to which I say “Mount Cody will eat him alive.”
“You won’t score a single TD against the Gators!” to which I say “Get over it, Barner. Alabama’s back. Welcome to mediocrity.”

Ah, poor Barners. So, so ignorant.

That was the best play all night….. and a little taste of next year.

Do. Not.

Play bump and run. LOL! I think he just signaled to EVERYONE that we’re going to run our offense (7 yard tight-end curls and all!)

Since when is 36-0 running up the score????

Have they taken a look at a score of a UF or OU game lately? They get 40 points with their starters in! Get over it, Au, you got beat! It only FELT like the score was run up b/c it was UA.

This also shows

that if Saban had wanted to score 45+ points on a few of our other opponents, he could have. He simply knows that 20 plus points will win it with 2 minutes to go in the game and doesn’t call plays that are designed to get a score. Oops…this one happened to get us one, but typically he calls late plays that are designed to run the clock down and finish the game. We’re definitely playing our game this year, and not emphasizing “style.”

When they say it's a "down" year...

…I just think back to all of those who projected the Barn to win the West. It was NOT supposed to be a down year.

In the Tuscaloosa News yesterday, DE Antonio Coleman was quoted as saying he felt bad for the seniors who had never lost to us and he saw some of them in the locker room crying. http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20081130/NEWS/812010289
Well, just cry me a river. How do they think our seniors have felt over the last 6 years? A lot never beat AU and that’s a hell of a lot worse. What a bunch of whiners.

Listen up Auburn

you ain’t seen running the score up yet. After Saban hears this crying and watches Luther Davis getting hit from behind I can promise you that next year we will run it up. By the way, the Bama O will be better next year with a good QB or two plus a Heisman candidate named Coffee.

by 5026 on Dec 1, 2008 1:42 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I think we have 3 future candidates...

Jones, Coffee and Ingram…

Damn it...

We HAVE a good QB. This is John Parker’s year of redemption and he deserves it. He has been an awesome game manager and is the glue that holds this team together. No, he is not in the mix for the Heisman, but guess what? EVERY QB that is plays for a team that has 1 loss. I’ll take UNDEFEATED any day of the week. Plus, he represents this University with class and humility and ALWAYS gives props to other players on the team. No negativity about John Parker, please.

The quote is hilarious

because Saban basically said, “oops, we didn’t mean to score on you.” Bama wasn’t even trying to score, and the barn let them! Barners…it’ll be a long way back to mediocrity – hope you make it there soon!
