I had given up went to my room to sulk..my brother screams from the other room "fumble!!" And the rest his history

This was the beginning of a 10 year span from 2nd Grade Elementary to 11th Grade Juniors in High School when Alabama football was a laughingstock before Nick Saban's arrival in January 2007.

Except 1999, SEC Champions and 2002 10-3. There were a couple of good years.

@@alanlogan1369 02 or 05 doesn't really count as great years as they lost to Auburn in those years.

@@ncrtrooper6619 Those were still winning seasons, er go not laughingstocks. Alabama won 67 games out of 120 possible games with 5 winning seasons, 1 neutral, and 4 losing seasons.

It's been a miserable decade+ since Scam Newton, hasn't it? Auburn can't even figure out which coach to hire these days.

[@RollTide1987]

Up 17-15 with under a minute left. Can't think of a dumber play call in that situation. What's worse is that DuBose had no idea what was going on.

RT 1987, I was watching NFL network this morning and they interviewed Bruce Arians. I cannot look at that man without thinking of the screen pass.

[@tmarsh0307]

I've said before that I was/am a Terry Bowden fan, and he needed that win. I was happy for him, though disappointed for the Tide.

[@bmaze35640]

The play call wasn’t bad. The pass was caught and wasn’t intercepted. The ball was fumbled. A fumble could happen on any play. Just kind of a freaky play

[@tonycrabtree3416]

@@bmaze35640 They had Shaun Alexander. Just hand him the football. It was a stupid play call against a defense that is going to be playing up and being a throw if incomplete it stops the clock FOR Auburn. RETARDED playing calling and time management.

Dubose clapping after every huge Bama mistake is simply infuriating.

Wow..

[@bobkatfan2013]

Lol, Alabama shouldn’t attempt 57 yards attempts at Auburn apparently.

And the Basketball program for Alabama suffered a HUMILIATING LOSS to Auburn 94-40 cost David Hobbs his job in January 1998.

Alabama basketball is doing pretty good in 2023. ebbs and flows...
