Gus Malzahn's Twitter account burns Alabama with reaction to new NCAA rule
Auburn caused some controversy just before halftime of the Iron Bowl this past season, kicking a field goal after the refs signaled for the clock to start running with just 1 second left.
Nick Saban and many Alabama fans were irate with the officials allowing the play to stand, and it certainly ended up being a factor in the Tigers’ 48-45 win.
On Tuesday, the NCAA announced new rules that would prevent a similar situation from happening again. On Tuesday night, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn (or whichever staffer runs his account), had an interesting reaction to the new rule on Twitter:
Interesting rule change. 🤔🤔#WarEagle pic.twitter.com/zP9EtnXgOx
— Coach Gus Malzahn (@CoachGusMalzahn) April 22, 2020
Clearly, the implication there is that Alabama complaining forced the NCAA to make the rule change.
We’ll see how long that tweet remains up, or if Malzahn decides to delete it.
How is that a tweet that “burns Alabama”? It is an interesting rule change.
Do you not remember the kick before halftime last year?
Of course. But this tweet isn’t a shot at Alabama.
Yes it is..
Ok
It is a shot at Bama but I wouldn’t call it a burn
How is that comment burning Bama? All it said was interesting rule change. Making something out of nothing.
He’s referring to Saban complaining about the fact that last year there was a second added back on after replay right before halftime
He didn’t complain about the second being added on. His complaint is the ball should have been set and the whistle blown to run the clock not hold the clock and check with Auburn before blowing the whistle…
He complained about it all. He thought you needed 3 seconds in the moment. It was the right call.
I think the big thing was that Auburn had no time out and didn’t go out of bounds which should have kept the clock live. It was a crazy situation.
Lucked out for sure but same thing happened in 2013 with yeldon. Replay determined there was one second left.
Wasn’t the same situation. It was a dead ball the clock was stopped and it started on the snap not the whistle after Yeldons play. Those two situations were not the same…
That’s the issue. They didn’t spot and start the clock. They checked with the holder to make sure they were set before starting the clock.
It was the same as far as replay determining there was a second left which is what said. I know what the play was on both and they were officiated correctly on both. Alabama called timeout after the review which allowed auburn to snap it after the whistle regardless of the game clock.
Bama didn’t call a timeout. That’s not correct at all.
The clock should have started on the whistle but the issue was instead of setting the ball and blowing the whistle they allowed Auburn to get set and even checked with them prior to blowing the whistle…
Please go look at the official score box then get back to me. Alabama called timeout.
No they didn’t. This is even the statement from the SEC. you can watch the YouTube video to see the ref check with Auburn holder before he blows the whistle… There was no timeout called by Bama because if they did the clock starts on the snap….
“At the end of the 1st half in the Alabama vs Auburn game, during a play that resulted in a first down inbounds, the game clock went to 0:00. Replay stopped the game to review the clock. The decision from the Instant Replay Official was that video evidence showed there was 1 second on the clock when the player was down so the clock operator was instructed to put 1 second back on the game clock. The referee came back out to the line of scrimmage and informed both teams that the clock would start on the ready for play. The referee got back in position and blew his whistle and wound the clock. The snap was off before the clock went to 0:00.”
Either go look at the official box score, it’s on auburn and Alabama’s official athletic websites or continue to cry about it. Your call. They called timeout. You can deny it all you want but it still happened.
Bama didn’t call a timeout.. below is the play by play. You making up something doesn’t mean it happened because it didn’t.

This is from ESPN… You can go thru their play by play and see where timeouts are called..
The play the play from ESPN is not a credible source.. the NCAA official box score is, which states bama called timeout. Are you that lazy to not go look it up or do you just not want to be proven wrong?
You can’t be serious? Bama didn’t call a timeout… Saban even made the comment that the sideline judge told him that Auburn wouldn’t be able to get the snap off…. None of that would have been the case if Bama called a timeout… You can even watch the YouTube video
Of the entire thing go down… There was no timeout by Bama..
I guess lazy it is.. good god man. It’s literally in the official box score but you’re just too lazy or too full of yourself to go look it up. I can’t help you with that.
LMAO.. I showed you the statement by the SEC which clearly shows there was no timeout. I showed the espn play by play which showed there was no timeout and you can watch the entire series on YouTube and see there was no timeout but your rebuttal is the NCAA box score?
You’re wrong. There was no timeout. If there was a timeout by Bama then none of this would have ever been an issue about getting the snap off before the clock as the clock would start in the snap… You can even see in the statement by the official the clock was going to start on the whistle which wouldn’t be the case if a timeout was called….
Trust me I’m not wrong. If you’ll go look at the official box score it will show you.
It’s on page 12 of 19 if you ever decide to look it up.
So is it possible that box score is wrong? I mean be real for a second. Clearly the statement by the conference shows there wasn’t a time out because of the way the clock was starting. ESPN shows there wasn’t a timeout and to top it all of you can watch the last series of the half and see Bama never called a timeout….. You can watch it, there was no time out…
I mean you know after a timeout the clock doesn’t start on the whistle right? If that’s the case why would the explanation bet the conference be they started the clock on the whistle if Bama called a timeout?
It’s the official box score.. it’s not wrong. It’s what they send in and what’s recorded.
This is the best I could do since it’s a pdf:
3-10 AU49 Bo Nix LSC pass complete to J. Whitlow for 17 yards to the UA34, 1ST DOWN AU (Shane Lee). P14
The previous play is under review to see if time had expired. The ruling on the field is 1 second remaining on the clock.
1-10 UA34 Timeout Alabama, clock 00:01.
1-10 UA34 Anders Carlson field goal attempt from 52 GOOD, clock 00:00, PENALTY UA roughing the kicker declined.
I’m telling you to go look it up and you’ll see. It’s not hard to find. Go to bamas 2019 schedule on their official website, click game book for the auburn game and scroll to the 12th page. It’s right there.
I’m telling you that is not correct… I understand what it might say but it isn’t correct…
Take a couple minutes and watch the last series of that half. There is YouTube clips of it. There is never a timeout by Bama. The explanation on what happened wouldn’t even be correct if Bama called a timeout…
You’re going by a YouTube video vs an official scorebook? Lol. Also you can tell in the video that they called timeout. There was so much going on that no one caught it and it was short. Saban talked to a guy then sent the players back out. Please go look it up.
There was no timeout. I watched the video… Watching the game is what is actually going on and sometimes not everything gets recorded correctly…
If Bama called a timeout the explanation from the conference wouldn’t be starting the clock on the whistle… You really don’t have to go any further than the explanation to know there wasn’t a timeout..
A YouTube video or an official document? Think I’ll go with the document. Alabama called timeout. Auburn got the kick off anyways.
Go with whatever you like.. It’s incorrect because there was no timeout though.
An official document says otherwise but you continue to watch YouTube clips
The comment by the conference says otherwise..
Silver to lower gold thread right here.
I hate to interject into this argument, but there was no timeout by Bama. The reason Auburn got the kick off was because of the review. It gave them time to lineup. The ref didn’t check with Auburn to make sure they were ready. He couldn’t whistle for the start of the clock until the ball is set and he can get out of the way. It’s the same with every replay.
Weagle99 please go look at the official box score. There was a timeout called. I wouldn’t just keep repeating it if I didn’t think there was.
The box score is wrong. I vividly remember watching it live on TV.
The box score is not wrong.. BT watched it on YouTube and you watch it on TV doesn’t make it not happen.
wde0012, Alabama did not call a timeout. The box score is wrong. If there was a TO called then Auburn would not have snapped the ball right after the ref blew the whistle for the ready for play.
wde0012, Sunday the SECN is replaying the game at 6pm central. You can see for yourself then.
What? That doesn’t make sense. When are you are supposed to snap it? Before he blows the whistle? Of course they snapped it after the whistle.
And you’ll see them come back from replay and put one second back and auburn be lined up. The. There is a little lull and Saban is talking to an assistant and some players walk to the sideline then the conversation ends and they line up. It wasn’t m a timeout that required a commercial or anything.
If there was a timeout Auburn wouldn’t have had to rush out to lineup and be ready for the clock to start in the whistle because after a Timeout the clock starts on the snap..
So like everyone is telling you… You’re wrong…
They were already on the field and lined up before the timeout. The timeout occurred after the review. Saban talked with looked like Jeff Banks during the timeout and players came over and then went back on the filed. The rules guys was talking the whole time so you didn’t see it on Youtube or the tv.
Because there was no timeout. You know the rules of football and you should know that based on when they started the clock there couldn’t have been a timeout…
I’m going to drop this because it’s pointless. Everyone except you knows there wasn’t a timeout. You took shots at me during this exchange yet you’re the one that can’t admit you’re wrong…
There was a timeout. I’m sorry yall can’t realize that. Also what shots did I take? Are your feelings hurt?
wde0012 either you didnt watch the game, therefor being a fake auburn fan, or you are just that ignorant. just take this “L” and move on. It is ok to admit you are wrong.
But I’m not so I won’t. I’ve given legit evidence of it happening and all y’all say is “it’s wrong”.. it is the official box score.
Goodness, why are y’all obsessing over whether a timeout was or wasn’t called??
If you go to espn website and look at their box score play by play, Alabama called timeout with 00:45 left on clock and not at 00:01. Just an FYI.
Just an FYI.. the ESPN box score is not the official box score.
Just admit your wrong, wde0012.
But I’m not so I won’t.. just admit there was a timeout.
Saban addressed that situation after the game.
“Well I don’t know if I should tell you that but um … the (official) beside me said they won’t be able to get it off anyway,” he said. “So, they waited and waited and waited and went on the clock. They guy snapped the ball and kicked it. They said it was good. I think you can snap the ball with a second to go in the game. Whether they did or didn’t that’s not my judgement.”
This statement from Saban indicates that there was no timeout called.
He also said at halftime that you need 3 seconds so I could care less what he says. He said the play at the end of the game was unfair so again, I could care less what he says. It was a unique situation and everyone running around trying to figure it out.
I agree with you on that point.
There definitely was no Bama timeout.
But there definitely was
I love it… You just can’t admit that you’re wrong… Everything except the box score points to no timeout.
Answer this question… When does the clock start after a timeout?
And you can’t fathom the fact that there was a timeout so you watch YouTube.
And when the ball is snapped..
Honestly answer the question.
When does the clock start after a timeout?
So after the ball is snapped? Great why did the conference start it on the whistle?
Because of no timeout and it was a live ball..
It didn’t start on the whistle.. it started on the snap. As soon as the whistle blew, Auburn snapped it which is what you’re supposed to do. You have no way of proving the time started on the whistle because there was one second left.
Did you not read the statement by the conference? They started the clock on the whistle. Auburn snapped it when the whistle blew to beat the clock getting to 00… They wouldn’t have had to do that if there was a timeout… Go read the statement again by the conference..
I’ve read the statement. Have you looked at the box score? I’ve done my research. I know what happened.
wde0012 did you watch the game????? there wasnt a timeout called. plain and simple. move on buddy
Did you? Because there was. And nope I’m here.
Ok buddy. Everyone else is against you on this but keep puffing your chest out.
I checked 5 different box scores. Only 1 had Alabama calling a Timeout (Auburn’s official site), and that one is wrong. How do I know it’s wrong? I watched the game in real time on the edge of my seat the entire time the debacle was happening. There was no timeout by Alabama.
Which is the official box score.. now go check Alabamas website because it’s on their too.
Ya’ll can be against me all you want.. doesn’t change the fact that it happened.
Also, why on Gods green Earth would Alabama and Saban call a timeout and let Auburn kick a FG to close the gap?
wde0012. Please use your brain.
Have any of y’all actually watched the replay?
I don’t know why he would call timeout. Go ask him.
Go to YouTube, type in auburn/alabama full game 2019, click on the one by “Franklin Chow” go to the 1:32:57 mark and you’ll see it. Bama players walking to the sideline because their coach called timeout. Then you will see Saban talking with an assistant. 30 seconds go by (because that is the length of the timeout) and then the kick happens.
I just watched the replay. Before the controversial play Alabama has 1 timeout left. After the kick and heading into the tunnel Alabama still had 1 timeout left.
So your evidence is going by what the cbs screen says? There was so much commotion going on and everyone talking that no one caught it.
I’ve come to the conclusion that you are either dense or a troll or both. Like I said earlier go watch the replay this Sunday at 6 central on sec network.
I will and do you the same and come back to me. Nothing will change for me.
Can you explain why at 1:32:57 mark that Bama players are walking to the sideline and Saban talking with an assistant for roughly 30 seconds?
My goodness, this guy isnt backing down on being incorrect. Props to you my guy. We all know you’re wrong but your ignorance is truly impressive. Congrats.
I just watched it and it proves/reinforces my point and proves yours wrong. The refs made no announcement of a timeout. There was no timeout signal given from Saban. The only reason the players walked off is because per the commentators, the refs were still talking to Saban about the situation and what was going to happen.
Tide17, very impressive. I’m sure he’s been in the running for a Darwin Award here and there.
Gary and Brad are your sources as to why the players walked to the sideline? Laughable. The players looked to the sideline ad were motioned to come. Saban never talked to the ref other than the one on his sideline. Everything adds up for a timeout being called but all y’all wanna say is “you’re wrong”. No proof of it not happening other than the cbs screen.
Okay. You’re right I’m wrong. You are so smart and knowledgeable on all things football. I know nothing apparently. I hope to be like you one day.
I know I am right and I appreciate the kind the words but I don’t know everything about football. I know a lot but not all. I’m sure you know some stuff about football so don’t sell yourself short there man. Why would you want to be like me? You called me dense, a troll or both.
Mark Twain said it best: “Never argue with an idiot. You’ll never convince the idiot that you’re correct, and bystanders won’t be able to tell who’s who.”
Good day to you sir. Maybe take a “timeout” from this for a bit.
Not nice for you to call yourself an idiot 17tide. Have some self respect.
This may be the dumbest disagreement on this site, ever. If there was a timeout, there would be no controversy. There is. There was no timeout. To keep arguing otherwise is just comical at this point.
If it is a dumb argument then why make a post to say there wasn’t a timeout?
Wde0012…look man, I hate to side with a bammer but I was at the game and bama never called a timeout. Now, the play was called 100% correct per the rules. There was a review and AU was on the field ready to snap as soon as the play was whistled live, which they did. But had a timeout been called, the clock would’ve never started until the ball was snapped, which would’ve negated the need to rush out there for the snap. Regardless, we made the kick and went on to win the game. Not much else matters. War Eagle!
You are absolutely correct. UAT had run off the field, and headed to the locker room. They had to call a timeout to ensure they could get the FG coverage team set up. The ball was set and was snapped when the Referee set the clock in motion. It’s up. It’s good. UAT lost. WDE!
I was there. Were you 17Tide? By the way, you’re still counting the 3 Nattie’s “awarded” to UAT by a UAT employee? Hmm.
You’re nuts. That’s not what happened at all. The review took quite some time. There was no timeout.
LSUMC the review took less than a minute. There was a timeout.
Statement from the SEC officials:
“At the end of the 1st half in the Alabama vs Auburn game, during a play that resulted in a first down inbounds, the game clock went to 0:00. Replay stopped the game to review the clock. The decision from the Instant Replay Official was that video evidence showed there was 1 second on the clock when the player was down so the clock operator was instructed to put 1 second back on the game clock. The referee came back out to the line of scrimmage and informed both teams that the clock would start on the ready for play. The referee got back in position and blew his whistle and wound the clock. The snap was off before the clock went to 0:00.”
Key point here since your little brain probably cant comprehend – “THE CLOCK WOULD START ON THE READY FOR PLAY” – this means a timeout was not called. Stay with me here fellas. If a timeout was called then the clock would start on the snap (Section 2, article 3,d,5) not on the ready for play signal from the ref.
That’s been stated already..
wde0012. Go to YouTube.com and type in Bama vs Auburn 2019 and click on full game. It’s 3:02:38 long. Bama had 2 timeouts with :45 seconds left in 1st half, called timeout so now has 1. Never called the last timeout so had 1 timeout left. If you go to this game go to 1:30:00 to 1:35:00 and this is the proof.
NovaTiger, what is UAT? Would that be the same concept calling your team AUA?
Go to YouTube, type in auburn/alabama full game 2019, click on the one by “Franklin Chow” go to the 1:32:57 mark and you’ll see it. Bama players walking to the sideline after the review because their coach called timeout. Then you will see Saban talking with an assistant. 30 seconds go by (because that is the length of the timeout) and then the kick happens.
And UAT is University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa
Then why at 1:34:45 (Franklin Chow) when the ref states “end of the half” does Bama still have 1 bar (of 3) for 1 time out left under its name? Where Auburn has no bars. *Three bars would obviously mean three time outs*
Because nobody caught it. There was confusion everywhere. Gary and Brad were babbling about the play and Gene, the rules guy, was explaining it. The cameras didn’t catch it either.
I’m done disagreeing with you on this thread. Looks like everyone else is too. You are bent on this timeout and there is absolutely nothing that could convince you otherwise.
My question to you is what does this timeout actually mean to you? Do you have money at stake? It’s a timeout dude that doesn’t matter anymore and Auburn won the game.
Means absolutely nothing to me. Could care less if there was one or not. Y’all are so bent on telling me I’m wrong and watch YouTube and there’s nothing to convince y’all that there was a timeout. Y’all respond or comment back and I do the same.
NCAA…National Coddling Alabama Association…different year same shhh ht
Aawwww, are you still upset about losing that NCG?? Let it go. Move on. Week 3 UA will give you a new reason to hate them.
Prototypical Bama fan response
Well he replied to your typical UGA fan response… No dumb post from a UGA fan and you wouldn’t have got the post from the Bama fan. Yet your complaint is aimed at the Bama fan.
Strange how that works isn’t..
BT we’re just having some fun. Don’t need to get all worked up over the exact sequence and logic over who said what.
Who says I’m worked up? Did you comment because you got worked up?
LOL no, I didn’t. But nice try.
Just curious since You think someone must be worked up to reply…
Why are you guys getting so worked up?
BT, you’ve been going at it hard on this page, so it’s not an unreasonable assumption. But, we’re stuck in quarantine staring down the barrel of potentially not having a cfb season, and all only at the beginning of what is already a long offseason, so ragging on each other both passes the time and keeps up a sense of normalcy.
Ah well a UGA fan posting Something stupid on a article that has nothing to do with UGA is pretty normal for SDS….
It’s been that way since 1980 for UGA… Different year, still can’t win the NC…
This is the content I’m here for :)
Yes, tagging along to Alabama’s success. I’m sure that really puffs up your pride.
Yeah me too but not because of what little Kirby said but because it’s always good to put arrogant Georgia fan in his place
I don’t blame you @Realcojones…It has been a minute since you put those fans in their place in Jacksonville after all.
Lol “little Kirby” owns Mullet.
That’s not the little Kirby I was talking about, DumbDawg, I was talking about the fan that posts here all the time. Unless you believe that is really your coach. If so that’s another reason you deserve your nickname
Hey at least he wasn’t beating his chest about the Rose Bowl….
Yeah, well, I wasn’t a part of that.
I hear we’re undefeated in the Rose Bowl
It’s a good rule change. A few years ago in the LSU – Troy game the clock expired before half. The refs watched the replay and put one second back on the clock. The teams were brought back from the locker room and Troy was allowed to kick a FG. The real problem is the stoppage of play allowed them to bring on the FG unit and set up before the snap. Without the stoppage they could not have run another play and certainly couldn’t have brought on the FG unit.j
This is very entertaining to read the back and forth. “wde0012” you must be the most ignorant fan in all of Alabama. Why would Bama call a timeout just to stop the clock for Auburn ? I watched the game live and there was no timeout called by anyone. There would be no issue with the kick if Bama had called a timeout. I don’t care what or who you get your info from but your wrong dude. I think everyone on here agrees with that statement but you. I guess your going to say we’re all wrong because the box score says so. Watch the replay and then let us know who’s wrong.
Hey tailwhip. .. thanks for the reply. Not wrong.
LOL
Whatever happened last year, it was legal and the refs called it right. Now that it’s changed it is what it is, but arguing last year while it was legal is stupid.
These posts seem like The-Iron-Bowl is being played this Saturday…gotta love that game, intense before-during-after. Good Stuff Here.
There is no doubt in my mind this was spearheaded by Nicky and his buddy from his Michigan State days who now runs the NCAA and has been for a while. If you truly don’t think Alabama had anything to do with this change then call me about the oceanfront property in Arizona I have :) WDE!
I am sure Saban spearheaded this rule change. So what? It’s a good rule moving forward. I dont understand why Auburn fans are so bent out of shape over this rule change. Yall won the game last year, congrats. This rule change affects the future.
Let’s see … how many National Titles has “Coach Crybaby” won and how many has Coach M won? What about SEC titles? Obviously Auburn fans are satisfied with mediocrity coupled with an occasional Iron Bowl win.
Just bama being bama and the ncaa being the ncaa. Both are morally bankrupt organizations.
The call was 100% legal, not doubt. Nick Saban just doesn’t understand some things.
I bet he clearly understands he shouldn’t get penalized 5 yds for illegal substitution when his team is trailing by 3 and just forced his opponent into 4th and 4 late in the 4th quarter…good times!
You can’t compete with OLE NICK!!!!!
Dweeb
Okay, I’m tired of reading back and forth bull about timeouts and all. I will tell you EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. First, no timeout was needed. The result of the play before the kick WAS A FIRST DOWN!!!!
The rule is THE CLOCK STOPS ON FIRST DOWNS UNTIL THE REF SETS THE BALL!!! Gus argued their was 1 second and HE WAS RIGHT!!!! The replay to determine the time is what allowed auburn to kick the ball. BUT BUT BUT…..
When a play results in a first down. The clock must stop until the offense is set and the REF IS SUPPOSED TO STAND OVER THE BALL A CERTAIN LENGTH OF TIME. So it is possible that auburn gets the kick off anyway, but replay helped for sure. But the replay was correct as well.
I’m not convinced that Nick Saban actually called a timeout. But, maybe he was charged with a timeout for coming off the sidelines arguing holding up play. Now that is THE FACT PERIOD!!!!
Still allow me to get to a larger issue.
Again with the game and from his own lips Saban admitted. THE LINE JUDGE TOLD HIM ” THEY WON’T BE ABLE TO GET IT OFF. ” My question is this. WHY IS THE REF TALKING TO SABAN SO PERSONALLY ANYWAY. SAYING THEY WON’T BE ABLE TO GET IT OFF SOUNDS A BIT FISHY TO ME!!! Almost sounds like he had a personal FAVORITE in that game!!!!!!!!
Now to top it all off. THE LEAGUE HAS SUDDENLY CHANGED THE RULES!!!!! All because SABAN GOT MAD????? Who is he anyway??? Is he some kind of godfather of football???? Why does the league change a rule that was fine to kiss Sabans A$$???? That is the #1 reason I WANT SABAN RETIRED!!!
As long as Saban walks the sidelines. Only media darlings like Clemson or someone like that will ever get a fair shake!!! UGA BEAT ALABAMA IN THE 2017 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. AND THE REFS SCREWED UGA TO MAKE SABAN HAPPY. And the HEAD REF basically admitted it!!!!! Saban gets to many bs calls that always seem to go his way!!!
PS. That is why he jumps up and down acting like an idiot every time he loses!!!!
King Negan
FInaLLY!!!
You’re right.
Everybody knows that there was not a timeout called except for 1 person on this comment section.
Not true. Obviously some else else knew there was a timeout called seeing it is in the official box score.
Agreed! I looked it up snd sure enough it said Alabama timeout…probably a typo but what’s the difference…Alabama timeout-official time out, they’re both the same organization most of the time!
wde – I think this is one of those rare cases where both sides are right. I’m going to use this as an example with my wife…
Coloradeaux – good luck!
What’s with the short write up, King? You run outta keyboard ink? Lol.
I must disagree with you on 1 point…you state Nick jumps up and down acting like an idiot every time he loses, losing has little to do with it, he prepay’s into the National Coddling Alabama Association referees pension fund and they have a strict no refund policy…now you KNoW…loL
Stay well compadre…and next time spare no detail on how you really feel, I’m thinking you need to come out of your introverted shell a little more!
LOL look who crawled out of the Georgia hole. He wants Saban “retired” and UGA won the 2017 NC game. Crazy and delusional is no way to go through life son
Adam Spencer, King of Clickbait
Adam Spencer, King of the 3-Sentence No-Information Article. This one was a dissertation for him!
Regardless of where one went to school, literally everybody went away from that game knowing 100% that rules would be changed as a result, right? Even if you think Saban is a whiner, you saw this coming a mile away, right?
I was Looking for an illegal substitution rule change to come out of this also, what up with that?
It’s like UGA winning a NC. You can look for it but it’s highly unlikely to happen…
I’m looking for the one where you can’t line up a punter at WR. Good times!
I too had a feeling that the slot punter would be banned, but still.
I also have to add that in the history of “Internet hills to die on”, my man wde0012 is really going for records here. I don’t think I’ve seen a sports argument where 100% of a dude’s own fanbase disagrees with him.
His 18,000 posts on the subject proves he doesn’t care, however, so at least there’s that.
And yet listed in the official trunksnorterU play by play archives…UA timeout, interesting yes?
It’s not an archive.. It’s a website and the box score is the same one from Auburn’s page. It’s just a link…
It’s not interesting at all. It’s a mistake. Kinda like calling a fake punt, ran by the backup QB…
Or going for a 30 yard FG with a questionable kicker instead of trusting the 2nd most explosive offense in the SEC…and missing. Glad you feel my pain my brother!
I don’t feel your pain.. Bama has 5 Nc since 2009…. UGA hasn’t won any since 1980…..
I hear we’re undefeated in the Rose Bowl
Very interesting.
Have to give it to wde0012, I’d want him on my side in a fight! And he is strangely right about the UofA official box score.
I’ve died on lots of hills in my days so this is nothing new. People disagree with others all the time so it doesn’t bother me.
How many total times have you died?
Lost count after ‘Nam.

“We talkin’ ’bout practice?

And just to refresh, Just because the record book says it happened doesn’t mean it really happened. Ask any Fleabag fan who won the 17′ NC game (Bama vs. Fleabags) and they’ll all say the Fleabags really won, but the record book says Bama won. Go figure, I guess record books can be wrong after all.
