um, mark...
that was a tremendous effort and we think you made a great effort…. but how about holding onto the ball all the way across the goal line next time?

That's exactly...
…what I was going to comment on. We’re really lucky that didn’t go up for review.

i dont see
conclusive evidence to overturn.
Lane Kiffin took the meaning of "Volunteer" WAY too seriously....
you have to quit concentrating on the kicker's tape
to see it clearly.

Me either...
…but I see inconclusive evidence labeled “irrefutable” many times throughout the year.

I have to vote for a QB throwing a good run block!!!
That was a great team effort on the interception return. But really, what the hell was Garcia thinking?
i love the little
“WHOO!” moment mcelroy has after the tackle.

the block
that is something most qbs might not have done as with the int its what a db is supposed to do. So I have to go with the block.
Yeah, the block
That play showed that we would not be denied in that game. Great play.
I'm in no condition to drive...wait! I shouldn't listen to myself, I'm drunk.

I came into this sure I would vote for the block
but after seeing that interception return (I forgot how long it was, and that’s full of great blocking as well) I had to go with it.
Of course, that was before I saw Kleph’s photo…
McElroy had...
other defining moments in the SECCG. I’m going Barron here.

definitely the TD
SC felt like a trap game to me from the beginning of the year and although i still did lots of cussing between that play and the end of the game, i did breathe a little easier immediately afterward. watching it now, i love the ‘convoy’ of blockers – great one by #13 when #4 made the cut inside and cody is just a marvelous spectacle of groceries in motion with his stiff arm and plow down of the wanna-be tacklers.

I had a hard time with this one. (as I have with most of them) I was at the Bama/SC game, so that Pick 6 was a special thing for me, but I can honestly say that when GMac threw that block, I knew that we were going to win the SECCG, so by slimest of margins, I voted for the GMac’s block.

hee hee...
groceries in motion??? Loves it…I might steal that little gem from you, Sister…
But I still went with my man GMac and his awesome block.

i think both of these plays are great
since they show the commitment of the team to giving 100 percent on every play. in the barron run you see the entire defense react and go into run block mode. nobody takes the rest of the play off, they all head down the field and try to find a white jersey to block.
and it’s the same with mcelroy. richardson doesn’t get the hole in the line so he bounces out and looks for daylight. greg has rolled out away from teh play but see this and immediately heads upfield to block. if he had just floated out there in the backfield nobody would have noticed (except for the coaches in the film room, maybe) but he doesn’t even hesitate.

Makes you nervous in hindsight though...
…seeing him shoulder block with his throwing arm.
