"Blocked again ... Cody again ... Alabama wins!" -- V. Lundquist

Watched most of the replay on SECSports.com last night. Even knowing the outcome, the last 5 minutes were incredibly tense. From the roughing the kicker penalty through Cody's block, Bama traded plays with UT. Don't forget that mixed in with all the Vols' "big plays" -- the fumble, the TD, the onsides kick, and the TE seam route to set up the FG -- were what seemed like a bunch of TFL, sacks, penalties, and PBUs. Saban said we did everything wrong during the last 3 1/2 minutes. Looking back, though, Tennessee was unbelievably fortunate to get as close as they did.

Of course, that just made it all the more bitter for them. And all the sweeter for us. What a game. What a win.

Roll Tide.

That was a great call by Verne. Gotta give him credit. Of course Gary messed it up.

What you're seeing is team spirit. It's like the Holy Spirit, but more powerful.

You gotta love Danielson's response... "Oh my"

I'm surprised he didn't say

Oh My goodness! Me-maw Danielson. Kinda fits. I can see him putting his dentures in the glass beside his bed….. I must stop here bc my next picture was a certain pretty boy coach with the comforter pulled up…..Goodnight!

I like Danielson . . .

but he really screwed that up. Putting aside being wrong on the rule, it was totally inappropriate to raise the “helmet” in the context of the last play of the game. Heck, there were 50 other Tide players on the field celebrating by the time Cody took off his helmet — why not make a big deal out of that? Or, make a big deal out of the UT kicker and holder taking the cheap shots? He messed up a great moment.
