Les Miles completely fell apart at the end. He lost 20 precious seconds on the clock by waiting too long to call time out. Then he had his team spike the ball with 1 second to play. Hey Les, do you know how long a second is? Are you familiar with the laws of the universe? Sure the chances of a successful TD or field goal on the last play would have been low but they would have been higher than absolute zero. On the other hand Ole Miss deserved to win this one. They outplayed the Tigers all day.
When LSU got to the 30 I thought they had it in the bag. As Bigdawg said, why wait so long to call timeout after the sack? There were 25 seconds left after the sack but they didn't call timeout until 9 seconds left. That is the biggest blunder. But the attempt to spike the ball with 1 second left doesn't seem like the sort of mistake you would expect from any college-educated person. You'd think they would have run a play...
Favorite player: Johnny Musso . . . The Italian Stallion -- Sylvester Stallone is a plagiarist -- played more often in torn garb than the Incredible Hulk. (Musso was also a better blocker.)
Possibly disturbing fact: Trash-talked the infant son of Auburn friends after the kid projectile vomited in my living room the instant after an Alabama touchdown.
R. Trentham Roberts
Allegiance: The Magnolia State, from Iuka to Picayune. (MSU grad, technically.)
Favorite player: Sweetness.
Possibly disturbing fact: Have an original 45 of “The Ballad of Archie Who” on the wall at home, right by the “Drink Barq’s – It’s Good” sign.
Courtney St. Onge
Allegiance: Auburn
Favorite player: Bo
Possibly disturbing fact: Had picture taken with Terry Bowden at a meet-and-greet following his undefeated season. Just for fun, I mailed it to him later, autographed by my uncle and me. Who knew he would actually need the "Good luck in your endeavors!"?
Other fact: It was my infant son that Michael Gordon trash-talked. Just so you know.
Peter St. Onge
Allegiance: Auburn
Favorite player: Destiny Stahl. (What? On the field? Cadillac Williams.)
Possibly disturbing fact: Once thought it would be funny to teach my toddler to say "Roll Tide!" We practiced covertly. Then, one day, my wife the Auburn grad walked in. "Roll Tide!" my son said, perfectly. Turned out to be more funny in the conceptual stage.
Tommy Tomlinson
Allegiance: Georgia
Favorite player: The immortal Herschel Walker, who, by the way, is immortal
Possibly disturbing fact: Slept in car one Georgia-Florida weekend after last-minute decision to go to game. Sneaked into Jacksonville University dorms for showers. Thanks for lax security, Jax!
