Top Moments of the 2009 Season: The Elite Eight is Set

PrintClosest race yet yesterday when Ingram's final TD of the National Title Game barely topped Roy Upchurch's Hokie leveling TD in the season opener by only 17 votes. Full disclosure, I went with Ingram yesterday even though Upchurch's TD was probably my favorite of the season. Why? If I'm gonna follow the "which made you happier" line....well, I'll just say Upchurch impressed the hell out of me but Ingram bulling his way over the goal line to seal the national title after Texas clawed their way back in had me flying about a mile high. But fear not Upchurch fans, now Ingram's final TD has to go against Cody 5 in the Elite Eight so Roy has one more shot at advancing into the Final Four. Anyway, on to the first round of the Elite Eight, today we've got my choice for the top moment overall, Marcell Dareus' TD against Texas vs Colin Peek's TD at Auburn. Vote away.
| Marcell Dareus TD against Texas |
| Colin Peek TD at Auburn |

I had to vote for Peek..
.. because I never saw Dareus’ TD. There was only 15 seconds left, and Texas had just called a time out so I was trying to beat the bathroom line. :(
Didn't your Mom always
tell you to go before the game started?!?

Just as I thought
Dareus’s TD by a mile. As it should be.
You play fast, you play strong, you go out there and dominate the guy you play against, and make his ass quit! That's our trademark, that's our MO as a team, aight, that's what people know us as! - Nick Saban, 2008
it still kinda hurt
voting against Peek’s TD… It was a worthy Elite Eight moment

I still think Peek's TD in the SECCG should have been in the field.
It still would have lost this particular matchup, but was a better play for Peek.
ehh.. not so sure
I think that this round will be all blowouts. The Final 4 will have some real decisions on who you wanted to beat more, Auburn, UT or UT.
If you look at the remaining matchups in this round
each one pits one play that barely won its last round against a play that won in a massive blowout; so yeah, not a lot of drama left in this round.
When I read this...
…I giggled with glee because we did, in fact, beat Auburn, UT and UT.
I freakin’ love this contest :)

those people who
would rather see Auburn lose than anything else.
Lane Kiffin took the meaning of "Volunteer" WAY too seriously....

I think
the final 4 will more than likely be Cody-5, Rocky Block, Marcell Dareus TD, and the Anders forced fumble. We should have some interesting voting in those matchups.
This upcoming season I'm gonna refer to Julio Jones as "The Magic Man" and Trent Richardson as "El Diablo"

I'd say...
…that’s a pretty good prediction, though I realized Mark Ingram probably won’t even make it into the Final Four. How bizarre…

What's not bizarre...
…is that only one of those is an offensive play…this is still Alabama football….

So busy today that I missed voting before the poll closed
Oh well. Just would have added to the blowout anyway.
