If I'm having this much trouble getting over yesterday, I can only imagine how our DB #4 is going to handle it for the rest of his life.  That replay, along with his jersey number, will be shown over and over for years to come.  I can't understand how he could have given up that TD pass, but hope he can handle it well as a man and not let it define him.

We still got a game to go.   Maybe you should have purchased 2 phones and saved yourself a trip.   Fire up that new grill.   We are going to be just fine come signing day.

They are 18-22 yrs old. They look at the world different

Saw the back of Chris Davis’ Jersey for years every time I took the elevator at the Seminoles Athletics Complex.

People forget Chris was the one trying to cover that 7'8" receiver in the end zone.

Cole, here is your issue, on the one hand you self-profess (btw self-professions carry little weight) that you are all knowing i.e. just a few posts above "I know what I am talking about" yet you know so little about Auburn -- at least with respect to her history.   You are so misinformed when you say a bunch of people don't care about Coach Dye.  CPFD isn't just some former coach at Auburn like CJWH (btw, that is John William Heisman - the one the trophy is named after -- yeah he coached at Auburn).  CPFD is either the first or second most important coach to coach at Auburn.   Our football field is named after him.   Yet, you don't even recognize his initials or know anything about him.   And, you repeatedly refer to him simply as "dye" instead of Coach Dye as his contributions to Auburn deserves.   He wasn't an MMA fighter, but he was a 2 time all-American defensive lineman at UGA.   He was country boy strong and tough.   And, you were apparently a basketball player somewhere.   So, yeah I like Coach in a fight.    You would too if you knew him.

Now you are just talking. You NEVER seen me say I'm all knowing. And me saying I don't just argue to argue if I say something I have a thought and examples to back me up. Even you can't make that be anything more than that with your circles.

I didn't say a bunch of people didn't care for dye I said a bunch of people wouldn't know his middle name. Once again even you with all your circle talking can't make that be anything else but what I said.

You don't know me at all you don't know what I know or what I don't but you definitely just left out how you were wrong or misinformed when youchastised me for not knowing USC when you yourself didn't know Cox wasn't our QB for that game. 

Once again you don't know me so don't pretend,I played football and basketball and I don't give a damn what you think you just need to think about and for yourself. So it's fine if you concede to men and lay down....I do not that's just a difference between us but I would never have something to say but then not say it because someone else heard me as you implied....It's crazy to me if there are men on here that would do something like that. 

But I'll let you go back to this grandstanding and fake pastor moment....man you make me miss ol what's his face, you're like a great value version of him

He shouldn't feel bad at all because he was supposed to have help over there. Only thing he did wrong was letting dude behind him. 

I pretty much have liked all of our corners minus Larry Casherand Roderick hood. Those guys are two ass holes. I'm sure as long as this guy is decent he'll continue to be treated well

My worst days as an AU football fan all relate to breakdowns in the secondary, whether by coaches or players.

- Yesterday

- 2021 Iron Bowl

- 2013 BCS loss

- Some game against LSU many years ago.  Pat Dye was still coaching, and we dominated defensively all game long.  We led 6-0 when LSU got the ball for the last drive.  They scored on a TD pass as time expired for the win.

Earthquake game.  Cost us a National Championship, IMO.

1988 LSU game. If we had won we would have been perfect and played Notre Dame for the mythical national title.

One more bowl game to lose to a big ten team lol.

I’d say that being on an island with Mary Ann would be a great way to get over last night’s loss. 
 

You said yesterday that this was always a tough game for you to lose. It’s definitely a tough one the way it went down. If recruiting ends to way some are predicting then we’re gonna need a bigger boat anyway. I’m trying to focus on the fact that the coaches had what will likely be their least talented team playing toe to toe with UGA and Bama this year. If I think about it any other way it’s a bit depressing.

I would take Ginger over Mary Ann, just to be different from my friends who would all take Mary Ann over Ginger.

100%.  There have been many beautiful brunettes throughout the years but beautiful women with Auburn colored hair are as rare as the Hope Diamond.

Yeah, I don't know why it's so hard for me to get over a loss like this.  It hurts us all, but I find it harder than most to let it go and move on.  I've got to find a way to deal with games like this better than I currently can.

I don't know Xs and Os very well.  Was the plan to spread 8 all across the end zone, or 4 deep and 4 shallow?

[cole256 17,084]

I didn't get to see the formation they were in before the play. I know even the shallow guys if they had any shouldn't have been too far away from the end zone.....I don't know what the hell we were doing on defense that last play....I get sad thinking about it

Will if it makes you feel any better, this morning, after a further review of my actions, I found it necessary to apologize to my wife and middle child who were with me during the game.   They both replied with "we know how much you love Auburn."  But, I acted like a fool. Being an Auburn fan has always been tough.   Last evening it was really tough.  In Morgan Wallen's latest song he sings "don't let the bottle turn you into a different man."  Unfortunately for me, when we were rolling, the Maker's was rolling pretty good too....   Today, on here, is therapy.

I haven't had more than 2 beers in a night in a long time, but I had 4 after the game last night, with the first 3 basically guzzled.  Felt better after that.

I don’t recall exactly how the deep guys were lined up but sort of remember three or four standing in or near the end zone.   Then #4 and the other corner about 15 yards off the ball.   Then when the play started three or four started running with receivers, #4 included in this.   Don’t understand why everyone wasn’t just standing back ready to break on the ball

Can’t believe no one instructed the DB to just commit the PI if you feel beat…it’s not a spot foul in college

The biggest problem for me is why we didn't have 9 back i.e. why were we playing a spy.  Without a spy, Milroe would've had to run 31 yards towards 9 defenders hoping to get to that spot before any of the 9 first got to him.   He would have to cover 31 yards before they could cover 5, 10, 15, 20.   It is a physical impossibility.   I would have been trying to encourage him to pull it and run.
