Outside of the actual play on the field, I loved these moments from Saturday.
1. Pre-game prayer. I swear to you, I did the customary, “Lord, help the Dogs to-“ then in mid-thought, it was like I was interrupted. Like God said, “Stop. Thank me for the win. It’s over. Done deal.” So, I said, “OK, Lord, thank you for giving us this win today. I really wanted it and the team really needed it.” I promise, that is how it went down.
2. Kelin Johnson mouthing off to Cox, Cox pushing him. I don’t know what Johnson said, but it must’ve been a Doozie.
3. Stafford dancing on the sideline after the game.
4. Auburn frat boys after the game, walking back to the cars. Sweet action watching drunk people get upset when it is not your team.
5. Lumpkin stiff arm on touchdown pass. Too easy. Tucker and I watched it a bunch of times, at one point, Tucker said, “Hello, I think you belong on the ground.”
6. Tuberville’s face on the sideline after one of the picks. I guess he just smirks all the time but that one needs to be framed.
7. Richt on camera after the game. “First of all, the reality of my faith is I’m going to praise the Lord if we win or lose, that’s just how it is.”
8. Joe T Jr. on the sideline. He was so fired up! What a family, what a Bulldog.
9. Ray Gant holding up 2 fingers to Cox after the second sack.
10. Post-game radio in Auburn. Nice to hear fans get mad at their coaches when it is not you.

I can't even begin to tell you how bad Auburn's fans are. I have no problem with being upset if your teams sucks as bad as the Tigers did on Saturday...but c'mon....you can't really want to fire a coach who is about to win 10 games...has a 5 game win streak against Alabama....and had a shot at a SEC and National championship before the game. I was very suprised to hear such things. Even in the midst of losing 4 of 5 (two of which were to Kentucky and Vandy) I never heard anyone say Richt should be fired. Just the D-coordinator....who, by the way, might have learned to make some adjustments after dealing with the criticism.
My favorite part of Saturday....Luscious Guthrie's...treated by Double Doozie.

Not real sure why you posted twice...probably a simple mistake...no problem...but the emphasis was recieved.
You probably didn't hear the fans around you talking all the crap I did...as you were on the phone between every other play....but trust me, there were many comments about how Tubby should be gone..."he's cost this university $15 million with this game", etc.
I agree that anyone who thinks such is a moron...as is the person who thinks that game cost Auburn $15 million...as the BCS game money is split amongst the SEC conference. My host team leader at church the next day is the only guy who I can specifically pinpoint to say that Tubster should be fired....and I called him a moron to his face. His arguments went all the way back to Auburn not being prepared for the Outback Bowl a couple of years ago...which led to a loss, which led to the preseason ranking of 14, which led to their absence from the National Championship that year. Once again, I called him a moron. We talked about how AU had beaten Bama like 4 times in a row....and He then made the statement that if Auburn really wants to keep Bama down...they should lose on Sat...which could help get Tubenstein fired and keep Shula in Crimson. Once again...the moron comment was made.
Levelhead, you know I love you like the day is long....but I was not impressed with those sitting around you....and neither were you. You apologized for the woman behind us before the game even started. The guy beside you...very nice man, by the way....made several references to Tubson's unpreparedness...although he might have never said that he should be gone. Point is...you've got a 9-2 team who actually still has an outside shot of an SEC championship (if Arkansas loses this weekend and to LSU...and you win some sort of tie break) and there were people calling for Tubertown's head. I know we at UGA don't have the best fans in the world...as they have been known to boo our own kids after a bad play...but that is ALSO stupidity...as was what happened Saturday on the plains.
