The headlines of the Birmingham News newspaper this morning:
WAR DAMN MIRACLE!
Yes, Auburn did it again: a last second, totally impossible, game of the century win - this time over arch rival #1 Alabama. I was watching the game with friends and family, along with at least 300 screaming Auburn fans, at the pub where the Rocky Mountain Auburn Club meets. Below is a video of the bedlam that followed the 109 yard touchdown return of Bama's missed field goal attempt with 1 second left on the clock, an event - I might add - that has only happened three others times in all of college football history. Two weeks ago was the "Immaculate Deflection" where Auburn beat Georgia with what was - until last night - considered to be one of the most improbable endings in college football. Yesterday's Iron Bowl will now go down in history as not only the greatest Iron Bowl ever, but one of the most incredible college games of this decade, if not ever in the sport. The crowd of 90,000 stormed the field for the world's largest block party as the Alabama team and coaches slunk out of the stadium in defeat. It's on to the SEC Championship game against Missouri next week and then... the BCS National Championship??? With this incredible, most amazing comeback season in Auburn's history, who can predict how this will all end? All I know is this: IT'S GREAT TO BE AN AUBURN TIGER!
