****Bama vs. AU - Post Game Thread****

[rolltide_21]

I have shared some these things in other posts but a few things:
1) My unsung hero- Bradley Sylve. Had the wheels to stay with Coates when EJ couldnt. Kept his head up given his past struggles (i.e., WVU). Played a great game. Also had an INT taken away from him.
2) TJ Yeldon running the ball with authority. You could tell he wanted this one bad. One of his best games in Crimson.
3) Blake Sims- the kid is a gamer and a leader. He is one of my favorites of the Saban era.

Hey, I was poking fun at the PAC 12 if you didn't notice. Anyway, I wanted Bama to win, I wasn't rooting for War Eagle.

I'd have a hard time pulling for the team the beat us in our only national title game appearance, too.

Honestly I was hoping both teams, Auburn and Alabama, would have great seasons and make the playoffs.

Just to dispell some rumors that started on some AU message boards..

What a terrible rumor, but I wouldnt put it past ITAT or the Bunker. They'll do whatever it takes to defame the Tide and its fanbase.

I spent a little time pondering how on earth two different interpretations of the same basic play could potentially cost Alabama two huge games. I was one of the tie goes to the receiver crowd, loud and adamantly concerning the LSU game, and I won't even argue about the tie in the middle of the field.

But, you have to establish the possession, tie or not! On the ball Maze threw (it was Maze, right?), the receiver was in bounds, and defensive possession was taken after he was down. In this game, on the sideline pass, clearly the Auburn receiver doesn't establish possession in bounds. You can argue as this does, that Alabama came down with it first (in which case it might have just been out of bounds), but how on earth can you have dual possession with one guy out of bounds, and furthermore, how can both those call go both ways without someone not knowing the rulebook?

They blew both calls. Plain and simple. The Sylve one was worse though. I've never seen a player awarded a reception without actually catching the ball, save the Division III ref debacle in the NFL.

I've heard this too. I hope it's not true.

Yeah. I didn't believe it when I heard it either. Shoot, his sister is still in school there.

Very detailed explanation of the second joint possession interception that wasn't that should have been. http://www.foxsports.com/college-fo...s-refs-calls-rules-replay-mike-pereira-112914

Don't mess with tradition

This is GREAT - thanks!

He's *this* close. Give it time...

I've begun to despise green and yellow (and all the other funky colors that left coast team wears) even more than orange.

Ah, this is why it's so much more rewarding to keep believing and then win...than it is to complain and quit and have anything happen at all...

Not surprised, he whines the whole game, thinks the refs work for him. What did he say?
