re: Oklahoma @ Alabama - SECN 5 CST

I looked it up, and of course you are correct. Here's the really crazy part: we had more *offensive* rebounds than they had *defensive* rebounds. So if we missed a shot, there was a better than 50-50 chance that we were getting the rebound.

So in other words, he's basically the Dan Hurley of football...

LOL my mind initially skipped over the "4" and saw "4th & Milroe." Kind of reminds me of "3rd & Kirby" and "3rd & Golding."

Former Princeton football player Tiger Bech also among those who were murdered.

I agree. But I sure can think of one that I hope leaves.

Or, more likely, that the SEC refs don't know the rules.

Thanks for posting. I'll just leave it at that.

IIRC there was one instance where Ty was sacked and an OL standing a couple of yards away made zero move to help him up. If you want to encourage internet speculation, that's a pretty good way to go about it.

Great post. And I think the following is the most objective description I've seen yet of the USF debacle: "None of us know all the details of the situation but it was evident that many of the offensive players didn't give a proper effort in the USF game last season when Ty was playing."

A young man I knew started dating a young lady who was a huge UGA fan. He converted her into an Alabama fan. Darby's backfield dances in lieu of hitting the hole drove that girl to distraction!

Agree. And I *think* it's the first option ... but will admit that it's possible that that's just what I *want* to think.

Come to think of it, maybe we can get a win-win here. If Milroe starts to waver, tell him that if he goes we'll retire his number.

Very fair point. This year he was still playing the LANK hand he was dealt. Next year, it's his team.

re: That 2011 defense still makes me shake my head with pride...
Posted by TriedtosignuponceB4 on 12/29/24 at 5:05 pm to TideSwamper
Now that you mention it, I think you're right -- it was Wilcox who fumbled the punt. I think the two fumbled punts that I was remembering came in the 1981 Iron Bowl, and in that case I think it was Jones on both of them.
I didn't remember Ogilvie's fumble, but I'll take your word for it. What I do think I'm remembering correctly, however, is that when Auburn took the lead something like 18-17 after our last turnover, on our first play from scrimmage there was a pitchback to Ogilvie. Either it bounced on the way to him, or he had trouble handling it; either way, the ball hit the ground. He got hold of the ball to avoid yet another turnover, and I think he even gained about 4 yards on the play. From there we took it down the field, scored, and made a 2-point conversion.

You're right about the AU game, although IIRC at least one if not two of AU's scores came on drives that began when we fumbled away a punt.

Thanks for the link. I know we've all watched that play more times than we care to admit, but you're absolutely right; he's standing right there *before* the throw.
re: Hit piece on Bama's flimsy CFP argument

Yep. And, Coach Bryant's having been a star witness in the Butts trial, and having subsequently received a nice settlement for himself, is something else that many in the media never forgave him for. Probably 95% of the current sports media has no actual knowledge of that story, but the anti-UA mindset that followed that -- the media does NOT like being called out -- has carried forward..

Friend of ours met SA once. I think he and his then-12 or so years old daughter got to sit next to SA at a game. Said SA was super nice.

Close call. Maybe the D? But I know one thing: the fans would definitely be the winners.

As I recall, that one crossing of the 50-yard-line was well into the third quarter?
I loved the story going around after the game that it took the LSU team much longer than usual to get back to Baton Rouge after the game that night, because some smarty-pants painted a 50-yard-line across the interstate.

I always kind of felt sorry for Capps. He had the misfortune of being the 5th-best interior lineman on a team with 4 passable interior linemen.
