Something for a slow day to get you by!

Damn, I thought that pass was meant for me. It was coming right to me.

I bet this play is already the most watched single play in Alabama history. Langham's pick 6 in the 92 SECC, Teague's strip of Lamar Thomas, Dareus intercepting Gilbert in the 09 NC game and shoving Gilbert to the ground with 1 arm, etc. were all great plays, but I bet this one has already been watched more.

If social media would have been around when Teague stripped Loudmouth Lamar (and thank God it didn't! ), then I bet you'd see about an equal number of views.

Thanks for sharing that @crimsoncorner. I’ll never get tired of watching that play. Roll Tide.

Yeah, we've had some pretty incredible plays in the past too, but social media and availability of content is incredible now. It also helps that Tua TD has to be considered when you talk about most significant Bama plays of all time.

Tua to Smitty to win a NC in OT on a walk-off bomb pass is THE greatest play in Alabama history. Period!

Nothing else can match it.

Cute thread title.........Have you started puberty?

Change your tampon more often.

Too old. Already in manopuase....maybe I just have a problem with vaginal dryness. Regardless...maybe you should put it on a bumper sticker to hand out with your girl scout cookie sales.

Does this relationship go back a few years or something, cause I can't figure where the animosity came from out of nowhere.

I don't even know this dude. He wants to be an ass, then so be it.

I'm sorry but he was throwing it to me! Till Smith step in and caught it for the winning TD!!:rtrsign:

 

[XXL TideFan]

Don't mean to hurt feelings. Just thought it was cute for a grown man (assuming such) would come up with that. My apologies, I'm not an ass. An old grouch, guilty.

I watched the Goal line stand. It was a great play, but it didn't end the game in OT. Read further...

Finally, it was fourth and goal from the one-foot line with a national championship on the line. Penn State chose to power it in, but Alabama would have none of it. Again, Alabama surged backward through the Penn State line, and Guman was hit in the hole by Barry Krauss and Murray Legg, where he was stopped dead in his tracks. The Alabama defense had held after a thunderous collision just short of the goal line. Krauss, the man who delivered the brunt of the hit, was knocked unconscious and temporarily lost feeling in his extremities, but he would get up and run off the field under his own power.

Alabama had held, but the game was not over. Roughly six minutes were still left, and Alabama was pinned up deep in its own territory. Penn State needed a stop and quickly got it. Alabama went three-and-out, and was forced to punt. On fourth down, the snap was botched and bounced to Alabama punter Woody Umphrey, who subsequently had to hurry the punt, resulting in a shank that went out of bounds near the Alabama 30. Penn State, though, had cost themselves. They were flagged for having twelve-men on the field, which gave Alabama a first down and new life.

The Tide subsequently drove the ball farther and farther, nearly running out the clock. Penn State got the ball back with over a minute left, but their last drive came up short, ending on a 4th and 8 attempt by Chuck Fusina that fell incomplete.

I also don't think it would have had the same impact if it was 4th down. The surprise of it coming on a 2nd and 26 from the 41 made it shocking. Most would think we would try to get most of that yardage back to have a makable 3rd down.

The greatest play doesn't have to be a final play. Some greatest plays meant the issue wasn't in doubt at the end.

Yeah, but it being the final play adds to the drama. The Kick wasn't remembered because it was the best FG in Bama history, but because it won the game for us.
