I’m done. I blame and give credit to my girlfriend. She worked today after watching every game with me all year. She finally made it home for the final Bama drive. I haven’t decided if I’m just going to lock her up inside the house next weekend or not.
Mine too!
And she wears the magic hat…she didn’t take the hat to work. But she got in with about 6 minutes left in the game and I shoved the hat on her!

Not sure you'll see any meltdowns from us
They’ll at least be few and far between. Yeah, we lost, and we don’t count “moral victories.” But we have nothing to be ashamed of. Pushing the #2 team in the country to the limit with our 2nd string linebackers all being walk-ons today, all while outgaining them and holding their Heisman candidate runner to less than 2 ypc, I’d say we’re all damn proud of our team. Of course we wish the outcome had been different, but I don’t think we could have played too much better.

I'm wrong all the time.
Being proud of your team in a loss and pointing out positives in said loss =/= a moral victory

No Meltdowns coming...
nor should there be. From what I read the folks at TET see this game as a good building block. They had a well-conceived upset plan early and executed to perfection. I have noticed from time to time that we get conservative and vanilla the week before big games. I honestly think the staff was holding back for UF and it almost bit them.
Oh, and if Ingram isn’t right next week, you read it here that Trent has a Shaun-like breakout next weekend.

Julio was great, McElroy was clutch… but I go with Javy. What a game. Big kickoff return, bigger punt return, all over the place on defense. He broke a 60-year-old conference record on the punt return.

I yelled so loud on the final TD my vp could hear me from across the floor. Wow.

Here is to hoping Mark...
…can heal up before next Saturday. I feel good about Trent but it will help to have the 1-2 punch. I think he was actually hurt early but kept trying to plug a way. I guess the Heistman is now headed to Texass, let ’em have it. We will go make them see what that award means. Bring on da Gatas.

Came out of her room with her stuffed Tigger (don’t ask why she is a grown woman and has stuffed animals) and sat next to me on the couch. I almost had a heart attack thinking why are you bringing a TIGER out here right now. This was right after the barns last TD. But i used it as a reverse jinx and it worked out.

CNS says
Auburn"s plan was to stop Mark, thats why he stuck with Trent and that Trent was “fresher” than Mark.
That was good for the Tide
Saban realized that he needed to win the game (use Richardson) more than winning Ingram the Heisman. I figured we would have more trouble with Richardson than Ingram, because we have had much more success against power backs than speed backs this season.

Stat of the game, I think
Nine of Auburn’s fourteen possessions (including their second half TD) lasted three plays or less. Essentially, their second drive (after the onsides kick) was their only sustained drive of the game.
The best picture...
I was doing that at t6he bar in Clarksville, TN….don’t live here….and I was grabbing my chest….Weezie, I’m coming!!!
Todd,
(and yes, I am referring to the author on this blog), you’d better have some SUPER disgusting stuff to eat this week! I mean, it needs to take the paint off the wall, clog the toilet, and make you feel like a rat died inside your small intestine. You’ve seriously got to give one up to the gods for this victory.

Moral Victory?
I have been checking all sports sites after this game. And the Barners all talk about a moral victory. They played well and did not let Ingram get going. But they were outscored 26 to 7 after those early scores. We left some points on the field too.
we all know tha Barners only live
to beat Bama. At this point, they have fallen so far that even hanging close is a “victory”
Hopefully Florida
will be in a rough game too. It would be nice to see them in a very physical game. While we have an extra day to rest.

Anders play today
Talk about a short memory. I have never seen a player get burnt one play and make a play on the next. He was out of position a few times and got beat by some pass plays. But came back to make a play.
my biggest concern
is that is seemed as though we had no answer for Antonio Coleman, on either Davis’s or Carpenter’s sides……how are we gonna handle Carlos Dunlap?

he was missing his reads…ran with his head down on the 4th down play (by doing so he missed the hole)…im not calling him out but he def didn’t show up to play tonight.

sure sounds like calling him out to me
"You have to create 6 seconds of hell each play..."

its not like im saying it was because of him we played poorly
But it was rather obvious something was wrong. Whether it was an injury or his head wasn’t in the game, he played poorly. There is nothing wrong with saying that. And my answer above still holds true. We didn’t run the wild cat b/c Ingram was either hurt or b/c his head was somewhere other than the game.
Auburna delenda est!
He was hurt early in the game.
Most of you think he got the hip pointer at the end when he came out. He got the hip pointer on his second carry. He hurt his wrist late in the game. He has been an absolute workhorse for us this season. He has a bad game with one of the most painful injuries that you can actually play with and you question him. C’mon maaaannn ;)

AND
they clearly designed their defensive scheme to key on him.

are you really
that surprised? We were obviously looking ahead to Fla, and the majority of our offensive playmakers are sophomores, meaning they don’t know what it’s like to play an Auburn team that hasn’t given up on its season…..our young’uns simply don’t understand the importance of the rivalry

That is very good to hear...
…but I think it affected him during the game. He sustained it on like his second carry. He didn’t look much like himself all game long. He usually bounces off of first contact and finds a crease. I have had a hip pointer and I can attest, it hurts like a sumbitch. It also affects your ability to plant and cut.
He may have lost the Heistman today but he gets my 2009 MVP vote…and my vote is the only one that counts. ;)

the only consolation i have after this debacle of a win
is that once again we let a hated rival believe they might actually be able to defeat us and then snatch the win away from them at the last second in the cruelest way possible. they’ll claim a moral victory but it will gall them even worse than if we blew them out.

That's too bad...
…‘cause I take consolation in knowing that our oft-maligned QB played a very fine game, particularly on the game-winning drive…that we won without a great contribution from our Heisman front-runner…that we outscored AU 26-7 after the first quarter…that I got to see Javy play, ever…that Roy Upchurch got to be a hero…that Julio wears crimson…that we finished strong in a game in which we didn’t play very well…that we beat Auburn…that we are 12-0, again….

this is not a performance worthy of this team. period. there are good individual efforts that deserve being lauded, but this was not a championship-caliber team we saw on the field today.
Roll 'Bama Roll: The Champagne of 'Bama Blogs.
We can all...
…easily see that this team did not play near its capacity for too much of this game. They did not often look like a championship-caliber team. But that was certainly a championship-caliber drive, better than any drive we’ve seen this year.
There are certainly good individual efforts that deserve being lauded, and one I failed to mention earlier is that Rolando McClain, our truest Heisman-worthy player, had 12 tackles and a crucial fourth-quarter sack. I’m gonna miss him for a long time after this season ends.
I’ve never been convinced that we are the greatest team in football. But no other team has looked definitively better, either. I’m very concerned about our upcoming game in Atlanta, but again, if your only consolation is the way Auburn fans are feeling right now…that’s just really too bad, and I hope you can find more to draw from this win in a couple of days. Good night, kleph. Roll Tide.

+1 and rec'd
what do championship/elite teams do? They come through when everything is on the line…..and that’s exactly what our team did tonight. We certainly did not play our best ball tonight, but when it truly came down to the line, we man’ed up and won the damn game. A win’s a win no matter how you look at it, and we proved tonight why we deserve to be in the conversation above teams like the Bearcats and the Horned Frogs. Our offense showed more heart in that final drive than I’ve seen all season, and Kleph, you being older than I, and having seen more than I, should respect that when it came down to it, we slapped adversity in the face and screamed “you shall not pass!”
