And of course we play all three.

Thought the penalty on Coach Lewis was a good move, one thing be subjected to home cooking on calls. Draw the line when cheap shot on QB is ignored

Anyone else catch this - With the game basically over with 2 1/2 minutes left & Auburn up by 32, they choose to go for a touchdown on 4th & goal vs. kicking a field goal.
The spread was +36, and a field goal would have made the difference +35.
Lots of money made due to that touchdown.

Great moments in betting history.

I remember listening to Mike Krzyzewski on a radio show catching crude from someone who bet on Duke games for pulling his starters when they were up 20 and the spread was 24 and Krzyzewski basically called the guy a moron for betting on college basketball games.

Don’t bet on games myself, never have, but not a very classy move in my opinion nonetheless.

And I remember Golden Flash Lou Holtz while at Norte Dame saying he was mindful of the lines and knew alumns would have money on the lines so he did keep that stuff in the back of his head for decisions like that.

And you can be certain SEC coaches especially are very much aware of covering the spread for their alums and boosters.

By the way, Auburn fans have a great tradition of Toilet papering trees after a win. It looked like they beat Bama the way they were celebrating last night!

Great town and atmosphere last night.

Odd that they TP trees while their rival Bama fans just poison them...
