Ole Miss vs Auburn - Who are you pulling for?

I've been this way all my life: you do what you have to do to win. If you don't, you suffer the consequences.
Depending on someone else to lose is not the way to win. It does happen and you can't ignore the benefit when it does, but openly rooting for someone else to lose for it to happen doesn't work for me when the winner in that particular contest happens the be the barn, the orange puke or the who's.
Having said that...Ol Spit has had road issues - big time, except for the Bama game. I think the barn wins but I won't pull for them.
I will pull for MSU to beat Ol Spit because my nephew went there - hows that for justification? :tongue:

I really don't care what Auburn fans, or any other fan base, has to say. Having the path open for Bama getting to a national championship is all I care about. Besides, if that is the best argument they end up having for us this year, Ill take it.
It's possible.
21st overtime after a scoreless game in regulation. Auburn attempting a 2 point conversion to win it. Sean White throws over the middle to Ricardo. It's tipped at the line! Nkemdiche (doesn't matter which one) plucks it out of the air in his own end zone, where he is promptly leveled by Kerryon Johnson. He fumbles the ball as a result of the bone crushing hit. It promptly rolls toward the back line and out of the endzone. Auburn wins 158-157.
There's your 1 point 20 overtime hypothetical.
Nice try and it sounds like something that would happen for Auburn, but I think that would be a failed conversion and if I did the math in my head right you are still tied 165-165. If AU is doing the try to win it OM must have scored 6 and failed on their conversion.
I can't believe I took the time to figure that out.
You must go for two starting with the 3rd OT. So if Ole Miss got the ball first for the 21st OT, scored the TD but failed the conversion, then AU is down 6 and touchdown only ties it. AU would then have to go for 2 to win.In the 21st overtime, the two-point conversion would be to TIE

Check the rule for a "conversion safety." It's happened before. Ask the aTm fans about it.
Ah I stand corrected. Shouldn't have argued with an Auburn fan on how to win in every weird way possible. :conf3:Check the rule for a "conversion safety." It's happened before. Ask the aTm fans about it.
Wouldn't the interception by Nkemdiche in the endzone be ruled a touchback immediately unless he tried to run it out which would be stupid.....
On second thought, given AU's track record, he probably would try to run it out... so nevermind!
Ah! You're right about that one! Picks it off at the half yard line before Kerryon smacks him then.Wouldn't the interception by Nkemdiche in the endzone be ruled a touchback immediately unless he tried to run it out which would be stupid.....

I want Ole Miss to lose but I hope it an ugly game with 30 penalties and 12 turnovers with Ole Miss having 700 yards and the barn less than 300.
Barn-Ole Sis a win win for me
Well, the Tide needs some help to get to the final four. Someone needs to beat Ole Sis, so that if Bama wins out they will win the west. So my head says that I need to root for the Barn this weekend. On the other hand, my heart will never let me pull for Barney. So I think that I am going to take this weekend's game as a win-win and be happy no matter how it turns out. If Barney beats Ole Sis. Bama controls its own destiny again and that is great. And if Ole Sis wins, the Barn loses another game, which is always great.

That's the way I'm taking it. I'm just going to be a football fan watching that game. It's all good either way.
