    I'd have to look this up, but it is my guess that this if the first time in the last 9 years that Saban/Bama has lost a game in which they won the turnover battle. In fact they won the turnover battle by 2.

    Bo Scarborough getting injured reminds me of when Kendrick Perkins went down in game 7 for Boston against the Lakers.

    The utter irony of Alabama losing on an obvious pick play. Now they know how everyone else feels when they get screwed against them.

    It is sweet for them to know that feeling; especially in the NC game, but I don't think it was a penalty. The outside receiver never touched the slot defender. He may have 'blocked' his defender into him, but aren't they allowed contact within 5 yards?

    Hope our offense gets a clue; this should have been us x number of times over the past 5 years. Thanks Miles.

    Ross Dellinger tweeted a film clip showing the gumps used the same pick play against us to win in OT in 2014. Payback is a MF gumps.

    I anxiously looked for that pan, but never saw one.

    I love it. I'm so happy today. I don't know what's better. That those traitorous fucks Cam Robinson, and Tim Williams lost; that Saban had to abandon "the process" and fire Lane Kiffin a week before the game; that it was Bama's defense that ended up losing this game for them by having penalties bite them in the ass; that they lost on pick plays that they have gotten away with and complained about weren't being called in this game; or that they were beaten by one of their own, Ex Alabama player and assistant Dabo Sweeney who preserved his old head coach's record for the time being.

    Thank You Clemson
