Auburn Website Posts Bio For Top Recruit Who Just Committed To Alabama
Well, this is awkward. Coming into national signing day, Auburn was feeling pretty confident about snagging five-star recruit Rashaan Evans, an outside linebacker who went to high school in Auburn. Evans ended up picking Alabama, and somebody forgot to tell the Auburn athletics department's webmaste...
Auburn Considers Pretending It Won Another Four National Championships
Auburn has two national championships, in 1957 and 2010. But what if we're all wrong? What if Auburn actually has nine national championships in its storied history? All it takes to claim a title is to believe it....
Watch The Auburn Band React Like Champions To The Iron Bowl Miracle
The unfuckingbelievable Iron Bowl happened nearly two months ago, but we feel compelled to share this video with you. Besides, you can never spend too much time thinking about that damn game. Here we see the Auburn band reacting as Chris Davis's insane, last-second field goal return unfolded before...
Alabama Unwittingly Predicts Future Failure
The sign you see here has apparently popped up in the Alabama locker room to serve as both motivation and a reminder to always learn and improve. It's a pretty well-worn sentiment, a sort of weight-room Cliff's Notes of Santayana's condemned-to-repeat-the-past quote. But the message is clear: if you...
Should Tre Mason Have Taken A Knee?
Over on Slate, Advanced NFL Stats' Brian Burke tries his hand at answering a classic armchair-QB question from Monday's national-title game: Should Tre Mason have taken a knee before that last Auburn touchdown?...
Watch Auburn Fans, Announcers In Slow Meltdown As BCS Title Slips Away
ESPN did an enormous public service last night in offering a video feed trained on fans in Tallahassee and Auburn watching last night's BCS Championship game. Here are some clips of Auburn fans watching their title dreams disappear, matched up with Auburn IMG Sports Network radio announcer Rod Bra...
Auburn Came <em>This Close</em> To Springing The Final Play For A Winning TD
On the final play of last night's BCS Championship game, Auburn needed to travel 83 yards. That's an almost impossible challenge, but Auburn was the team of miracles during this past regular season—so you might have given them decent odds to pull it off. And they almost did....
Now <em>That</em> Was A Damn Football Game
We didn't know if Jameis Winston and Florida State could do it. That's not an impugnment of their talent, only a fact: These Seminoles, dominant on both sides of the ball, hadn't trailed in a game since September. But that's what practice is for, and every week, FSU runs a drill. The first-team offe...
Florida State Wins A Positively Bonkers BCS Championship Game
Florida State looked to be shit out of luck tonight thanks to a taunting penalty after a scoring drive. The Noles quickly bounced back and returned a kickoff to go ahead of Auburn 27-24. The final minutes were an insane back-and-forth, but Florida State hung on to beat Auburn 34-31....
Red Lightning Is Not Happy With Florida State Right Now
In December, we told you about Red Lightning, Florida State's intense ball boy, Frankie. He's on the sideline next to Jimbo Fisher tonight and he is not enjoying himself. ...
Florida State Had A Horrible First Half
Florida State is having a hard time dealing with Auburn—whose running game ESPN earlier likened to an un-winnable game of three-card monte—because the Tigers have all of a sudden taken to the air. Nick Marshall is 7-13 for 113 yards and two touchdowns, one a 50-yard hookup with Melvin Ray....
FSU, Auburn Fans React To Game's First Touchdown
Here, via ESPN's "Campus Connection," a GIF of FSU and Auburn fans reacting to the Tigers taking the lead in tonight's BCS Championship Game. ...
By Any Rational Measure, FSU Is The Better Team. So What?
College bowl games are far too fleeting and superfluous to serve as the basis for any lasting conclusions, even about the teams playing in them. In fact, if the 2013-14 bowl season has taught us anything–and I'd really prefer that it hasn't, but if it has, in spite of itself–it is that attempting to...
Here's The Taunting Penalty That Almost Cost FSU The BCS Championship
It's a moot point now, but following a late touchdown drive, Florida State was robbed of the opportunity to tie the game late because of a stupid taunting penalty. Davonta Freeman was penalized 15 yards after a touchdown cut the Tigers lead to 21-19 for taunting the Auburn sideline from midfield. Th...
Auburn Coach Repeatedly Tosses Gleeful Kids Onto Couch
This is absolutely adorable. Auburn coach Rhett Lashlee returned home and was immediately put to work by his kids, who made him play a game of Toss The Kids. ...
Angry Alabama Fan Drops The Best Burn On Colin Cowherd
Paul Finebaum welcomed ESPN radio personality and rat-faced gasbag Colin Cowherd onto his radio show yesterday, and the two did some chatting about Auburn's stunning win over Alabama in the Iron Bowl. Cowherd apparently had some not-nice things to say about Alabama during his segment. Big mistake, C...
