First of all I have never done anything to harm this fine institution, in fact, I have never even been to the lovely village on the plain. So why, why do you do me like you do. Homecoming 1988- thank you. 1993, 1994 last second wins- thanks again. The whole Terry Bowden Bobby Bowden thing made life tough for Gator fans for a few seasons there. Of course Auburn had to eventually pay the piper for that hire. UF is #1 again in 2001 and you play the game in a tropical storm- thanks.
So needing a Auburn victory yesterday did I expect anything different. Did I rally think Auburn would toss a Gator fan a bone.
Well for a while there, yes it looked like you might.
I know you tried to end my hopes early- 3 turnovers in the first half, but there you were leading 14-3. Okay now I'm hooked and I have to watch the game.
UGA comes out and drives it down your throats to make it 14-10. Well there goes that dream- thanks Auburn. But wait, Auburn responds. The Tigers drive it down and score 21-10- wait a second. Late in the third UGA scores a TD when an OL drops on a fumble in the end zone. Hummmm I should have known right then and there but I continue to watch. The Florida game is coming on and I'm going back and forth on the tv remote.
The 4th qtr begins with Auburn leading 21-17 and Georgia punting. Auburn has rushed so far for about 200 yards, they are at home, Tuberville will surely pull out a trick play. Auburn will score something in the 4th right? Right.
CBS shows a graphic about all the times Auburn has spoiled Georgia's chances for a SEC title. No. Don't they know what they are doing- you don't tempt fate like that.
First Auburn series 3 and out. Auburn runs 1:02 off the clock
Georgia drives but punts it into the end zone.
Second Auburn series, 3 and out. Auburn runs 1:31 off the clock What is going on here? Duval punts it 34 yards.
Georgia fumbles. Okay things are still looking good.
Third Auburn series 3 and out. Auburn runs 2:03 off the clock.
Georgia Interception. Why am I still nervous Georgia can't score right? Right.
Forth Auburn series 3 and out, Auburn runs 2:20 off the clock Fix! Fix!
Georgia turns it over on downs. When in doubt Richt runs a FSU play every time-the Auburn coachs are on to you hah!
Okay there is 2:33 seconds left in the game. Georgia has 2 time outs. All you need is 1 freakin' first down.
Fifth Auburn series. Ronnie Brown runs out of bounds. Who the **bad word** is coaching this team. Auburn three and out, Auburn runs 35 seconds off the clock. You have got to be kidding me. If you are keeping track at home, Auburn has now run 15- 4th Qtr plays and gained 11 yards.
Georgia has it 4-15 from the 19 yard line. This is the ball game. Richt what will you do what will you do. (Me screaming at TV).. He's going to lob it to a WR it will be jump ball jump ball Knock it down knock it down. He coached at FSU he knows no other play. Thanks Auburn.
Okay you get the ball back. First play 25 yards on a pass. Hey there is hope again. This one spark of life is followed by- penalty, incomplete pass, penalty, sack, run for 7 yards, and a dump off pass 10 hopeless yards from the first down. Thanks Auburn.
Now I know, I will never expect anything from Auburn ever in my life.
