    I don't know where to start.

    But we got lucky to run that play that late. I kept yelling for us to start the play thinking we might run it, break it for a long gain but short of a TD and the clock would run out. Then when I saw us passing, I almost lost it.

    Love the call. Love the aggressiveness. But it was not designed to be that close to the clock running out.

    Clock management is such an enigma for us. I don't know if we can correct it. I hope we do.

    Kudos to the balls of calling that pass play. Just do it with a little more time on the clock next time please. My heart can't take it.

    We're going to win the National Championship. This is destiny. It's on our side completely and without question.

    This game should not have been this close. We DOMINATED this game and almost beat ourself again. I hope this bye week does us some good, cause we need to stop killing ourselves.

    It looks like we're gonna have to play Florida again to get to the NC, so we need to get better.

    Anyway, GREAT WIN, especially over that piece of crap Tubbs.

    wow - I about broke my TV on that last play...not sure Les expected to use THAT much time off the clock on that play.

    either way, great play, great win.......team of destiny? It is starting to look like it.....and we are getting a bye week at the best time possible

    Bottom Line is.... A W is a W... and going for a NC Title, W's (no matter how pretty or ugly) count as a W!!!

    Who's Next..... BAMA:po: :po:

    I for one, didn't feel comfortable leaving the game in the foot of Colt David. Anything over 35 yards is iffy. So glad the TD took that attempt away.

    Whew.

    we're not a team of destiny at all. we don't get the breaks we need often enough.

    besides, that's why losing to kentucky hurt so bad. everybody expects us to win every game because they think we're supposed to win the national championship.

    with uk last week we deserved to lose and almost won. this game we deserved to win and almost lost. we're just a dumb luck team.

    A great win and a very exciting game. Too exciting, really. We should have beat them by about 14, but hurt ourselves with some bad plays.

    Need TD's, NOT FG's to take the excitement out of these games.

    I sure hope Dorsey is able to play v. Bama in two weeks. I really believe the bye is going to make a big difference. Lots of dinged up players can heal a little.

    GREAT GAME, TIGERS!

    Thanks for another fine memory, and I guess this will be known as the "One Second Game". Wow.

    I am 100% with you on this... I just wanted us to keep feeding the ball to Hester on the last drive. I don't want Colt to decide a game for us......

    Even John Elway said he'd rather be lucky than good!

    Getting better is a "must" maybe this game will help them get their confidence back some, I think that took a beating in the UK game. (It just tickled me watching the Gators beat UK...I enjoyed that game as well).

    BTW, "islstl" I hope you're being prophetic in your call about the NC. I dearly hope the "Gods" of the gridiron see it as you do...
