You know what's coming. But every time, you yell at Rose for not sharing that giant chunk of boat with Jack. Why, Rose? Why!??!?! That's because of the scene that was cut from the movie... Jack- "Come on Rose, let me sketch you with no clothes on" Rose- "No way, you couldn't pay me to do that" Jack- "anything you want, but I really want to sketch you" Rose- "okay, hypothetically if the boat sinks and there's only one life preserver between us then I get it all to myself. Jack- Deal, because this boat is unsinkable. I can't lose" And now you have the rest of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Receiver was down in-bounds TWO YARDS FROM THE SIDELINE the play prior with no timeouts, which would have ended the game had the Side Judge called it correctly...

We win that game 23-20 and the SECC really doesn't matter Of course the SECCG matters. The loser has never gotten in. Can never say never. 2012 Georgia could have gotten in because #1 Kansas St and #2 Oregon both shat the bed in Week 12. But not a team beaten by 21 points in the SECCG.

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,670 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 that earlier post might have a really fair point. A win over a ranked LSU in Death Valley, two #1 blowouts, and your only losses being in death valley (against the #1 team in the final reg szn CFP rankings) and the SEC CG. the normal #4 team was an Alabama team that you only have one more loss because you beat them. The #5 was an OSU team that got handily beat by Oklahoma and got domesticated by Iowa (and needed an awful choke by PSU to not be dead in the water) The CFP would've had to REALLY put their necks out there to rationalize putting Alabama over Auburn there. Just the statement "x team would've had a better record than y team if x team didn't beat y team" would've at least made their life very hard. Gus made their job easy by choking that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be the Side Judge and correctly rule the bammer WR down in-bounds the prior play. To see them scrambling like madmen to rush the offense out and the FG unit in, only to watch the clock run out would have been priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defend the 4th and 25 against UGA where they scored on the last play 3. Defend Bobo's last second 4th down heave as time expired That play should not have happened. We sack the QB and time should have ran out, but for some reason the ref's stop the clock to give UGA another play. 4. Knock down the LSU fake FG on last play Which year was this play? 5. Catch the TD pass against Eli Manning and the Rebs Ben O. made a hellva run on an WR screen to get us down there, only to drop the pass in the endzone. 6. Don't foul the Virginia shooter in final second 7. Oklahoma State makes key stop against Iowa State in 2011 Not necessarily in that order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wde1968 262 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Pick one same game 4th down pickup on fake punt or TD on kickoff because it was one of the few not kicked out the end zone. Take either away game over. In 2013 NC game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he doesn't make the catch, LSU had time to kick a game winning FG. The clock would have stopped with :01 left and they had a reasonable shot at winning via kick.

And of course, if we sack the QB, or flush the QB and the pass is incomplete, they wouldn't have had time left. Several things could have gone wrong, when most folks would have just lined up for the FG. The Mad Hatter was anything but conventional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hadn’t scored so quickly, we kill the clock, and FSU has no chance to score the go ahead TD. This. I screamed "no" when this happened and my family told me to calm down that we had this... Could have won in similar fashion as we did the Oregon NC. My play would have to be one of two: 1. The kick return by FSU where we all but had the tackle before someone's hamstring had to explode. 2. I can't remember the game but there was a play where an experienced center snapped the ball when Nick Marshall wasn't ready and it lead to a snowball affect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumps 3,704 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 My one play is the kickoff return for a TD by FSU in the 2013 BCS Natty game. Parkey had like 80% touchbacks that year. One more and we win. One tackle on that play and we win. FSU cannot win the game without that KO return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
