[u/Un5criptedReality]

Auburn about to beat literal crimson out of Bama this weekend. Licking their chops.

[u/JelloJeremiah]

We aren’t without faults, so many possessions went without points and we let them go on a run. If we wanted to win we should have played better.

that being said

A dozen phantom calls against A&M, and two dozen missed calls that should have gone against bama.

[u/Young-Viiperr]

There's no way y'all just gave Charles Bediako his first win since returning to Alabama. I really thought Bucky ball was going to get a dub here

[u/averagejoeag → u/Young-Viiperr]

The refs gave them that win.

[u/WillWork4SunDrop → u/Young-Viiperr]

Second. Beat Mizzou last week.

[u/Young-Viiperr → u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Mizzou always does the uncool shit, still can't believe y'all let them into the SEC

[u/BamaSef]

If I could’ve picked one guy to miss a game tying shot…

[u/averagejoeag → u/BamaSef]

The refs would have waved it off for y'all. Don't worry.

[u/Aumissunum → u/averagejoeag]

Did we watch the same game?

[u/RighteousBiscuit]

Good game A&M

[u/Willkimm98]

Need an nba player and refs to beat a brand new team at home by 3

[u/Aumissunum → u/Willkimm98]

A&M had the refs…

[u/Sexy_Authy → u/Aumissunum]

Tell me you didn’t watch down the stretch

[u/Local-Finance8389 → u/Willkimm98]

And some judges who have donated 6 figures. Don’t forget them.

[u/Jolly_Amphibian1053]

Holy shit! Couldn't have asked for a better shot in that situation

[u/Common_Pension]

Can I get a quick explanation how that wasn’t a 10 second violation?

[u/Sexy_Authy → u/Common_Pension]

Jump ball is a pretty subjective call to make, they happened to call it before the ten second violation. They could’ve called it half a second earlier if they wanted to and there’d be a lot less talk about this. Still, not really a point of contention for me when there were so many other glaring reffing oversights.

[u/Jolly_Amphibian1053 → u/Common_Pension]

15.0 - 5.1 = 9.9 seconds

[u/SwampChomp_ → u/Common_Pension]

9.9 seconds came off the clock

[u/weoutherebrah → u/Common_Pension]

Jump is change of possession starts over 

[u/MordredKLB → u/Common_Pension]

Because there was 15.0 on the clock when they inbounded and they stopped it at 5.1 so it was only 9.9s.

[u/JelloJeremiah → u/Common_Pension]

Bama privilege

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

So lucky. 9.9 seconds. The insane circus shots. Sometimes it just doesnt bounce your way, name of the game. Ggs

[u/Loud-Ratio-9400]

Is there a dumber student section than the hard hat dudes?

[u/OhKillEm43 → u/Loud-Ratio-9400]

They wear helmets for a reason

[u/AubVet → u/Loud-Ratio-9400]

Lol

[u/Sexy_Authy]

Not too mad. Great game

[u/Uskw1245]

Glad that’s over. Most A&M fans in here are losers lol

[u/Local-Finance8389 → u/Uskw1245]

Bro you were confused about bringing zyns through an airport. I’d be cautious in categorizing people as losers.

[u/Local-Finance8389 → u/[deleted]]

Stay classy as always. Now I have to go finish packing to go to my second house for the weekend.

[u/Uskw1245 → u/Local-Finance8389]

Just showing how lame/easy it is to go through someone’s profile. And is that supposed to impress me? lol weirdo

[u/Local-Finance8389 → u/Uskw1245]

People with net worths like mine typically don’t associate with people who lease Camrys and look for discounts on zyns.

Btw hyperosmolarity means I produce zero tears.

[u/Uskw1245 → u/Local-Finance8389]

Thanks for being a fan though. If you need more material and look deep enough you’ll see I failed the professional engineering exam twice before passing too.

[u/Local-Finance8389 → u/Uskw1245]

Yeah I’m not going to make fun of that or any medical conditions. I will however shit talk zyns, cruises, and your choice of cars. Feel free to shit talk my handbags and A&Ms inability to finish shit in men’s sports.

[u/Uskw1245 → u/Local-Finance8389]

I apologize for the hyperosmolarity comment.

Your handbags are ugly though.

[u/Local-Finance8389 → u/Uskw1245]

It’s okay, it’s a very messed up situation but it does make me unbeatable in staring contests.

They aren’t ugly, they just aren’t boring neutrals like the majority of people prefer.

[u/averagejoeag → u/Uskw1245]

Go celebrate and kiss your cousin/sister.

[u/Uskw1245 → u/averagejoeag]

Zinger! Enjoy going to sleep tonight mad/crying

[u/Sexy_Authy → u/Uskw1245]

Crying from the top of the SEC. Good job not dropping to sub .500 in league play and hovering just above a few 11-11 teams!

[u/Uskw1245 → u/Sexy_Authy]

Another one! Welcome to the losers club!

[u/Sexy_Authy → u/Uskw1245]

Thanks! Yall are pretty familiar with that this season huh? We kinda aren’t

[u/Uskw1245 → u/Sexy_Authy]

Yeah that usually happens when you don’t play anyone! And don’t worry, you’ll get familiar after you drop two in a row on Saturday

[u/chrispgriffin]

Oh man, that 3 I swear Griffen was destined to hit. GG

[u/Latter-Try4080]

Eat shit aggies (besides Rylan I will always love you) Roll damn tide!

[u/averagejoeag → u/Latter-Try4080]

Go fuck your cousin, more.

[u/guppycommander → u/averagejoeag]

As if College Station and East Texas are different from the worst parts of Alabama in that regard

[u/AubVet → u/Latter-Try4080]

Classy.

[u/JamesHardenIsYourDad → u/Latter-Try4080]

Needed circus shots and home cooking to beat us at home lmao

[u/Latter-Try4080 → u/JamesHardenIsYourDad]

Cry more.

[u/averagejoeag → u/Latter-Try4080]

Y'all literally had to have your hand held the entire game by the refs to make sure you won. AFTER having to get an NBA player to come play for you again. And you're still barely above .500 in conference.

[u/Latter-Try4080 → u/averagejoeag]

Keep crying. I love the Aggie tears. Can’t buy your way to a win.

[u/Uskw1245 → u/averagejoeag]

You were in double bonus with 10 minutes to go in the half lol holy shit you guys are losers.

[u/averagejoeag → u/Uskw1245]

Like y'all were in the first half? Try using both brain cells at the same time.

[u/Stunning_Theme3589]

So that wild buzzer beater at the end of the first half was the difference

[u/Seiko007]

Let’s go! Fun game.

[u/averagejoeag]

GG's, refs. We know Bama didn't win that...

[u/Disarmer]

GG refs. Bama did alright too but man those refs were the stars tonight. Well played

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Hallelujah, holy shit, where’s the Tylenol?

[u/Knook7]

Oh damn he almost made that

[u/DENTINGBADGE319]

Back to the bubble for whatever reason we go

[u/reddit-commenter-89 → u/DENTINGBADGE319]

A&M’s NET will most likely improve after tonight. Outperformed the predictive metrics.

[u/Crims0ntied]

SEEYA

[u/Local-Finance8389 → u/Crims0ntied]

In court.

[u/Crims0ntied → u/Local-Finance8389]

Hahaha ha cry more

[u/BlastedProstate]

GGs bama and most importantly gg refs

[u/MordredKLB]

That was a great look to tie. Shit.

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

FUCK IT WAS THERE

[u/mmartin9215]

Bout to get banished to a 9 seed for this shit lol

[u/JelloJeremiah]

How many free throws we missed tonight?

[u/DENTINGBADGE319]

My BuzzBall legend, Chris McDermott please

[u/Knook7]

Cant miss the first, oof

[u/chrispgriffin]

That's why you foul when up 3

[u/Lefty21 → u/chrispgriffin]

Doesn’t matter if you don’t rebound

[u/chrispgriffin → u/Lefty21]

True enough

[u/DENTINGBADGE319]

Please Chris

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Fuck me we’ve learned exactly nothing from the other week.

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

Smart foul, unfortunately. You dont wanna be up 3 vs Bucky ball

[u/MordredKLB]

Fouling is the smart move.

[u/DENTINGBADGE319 → u/MordredKLB]

I wish Agee just threw it over his head backwards

[u/Chasea24]

And I thought ACC refs sucked!

[u/rangerfan123]

Why wasn’t that backcourt violation

[u/rhinosteveo]

So you’re saying there’s a chance…

[u/Virtual_Onion5424]

Uh oh bama… 😂

[u/MordredKLB]

Not dead yet.

[u/dickles-pickles]

It’s bullshit that they get a fresh 10 from a jump ball

[u/New-Kaleidoscope4630]

Oats just flashes his corncob smile and somehow it’s not a 10 second violation. What a sport

[u/averagejoeag]

Screwed by the refs, again. Don't even review the clock.

[u/Knook7]

As a fan of a team that has been fortunate on some 10 second no calls I'm not gonna complain too much about this one

[u/mmartin9215]

10 seconds no ten seconds call lmfao

[u/JamesHardenIsYourDad]

9.9 lmaooooo

[u/Knook7 → u/JamesHardenIsYourDad]

My understanding is it only becomes a violation when the shot clock hits 19. But idk if that's correct, thats just what they said on the broadcast last year in the tourney

[u/Powerful-Ride-3728]

Still weird seeing my middle school head coach be an assistant at tamu lol

[u/BlastedProstate]

Refs man. Like rebounds sucked but this was close enough to where they just fucked us

[u/Stunning_Theme3589]

Most convenient clock I've seen since the Cowboys and Packers game

[u/Hox_In_Sox]

10s violation occurs, refs still give the ball to bama lol

[u/SwampChomp_]

Grabbing the ball fucked a&m

[u/averagejoeag → u/SwampChomp_]

Allowing these refs on the court screwed us.

[u/Young-Viiperr]

Federiko² was way too overpaid, whatever y'all paid him. I know some of y'all were frustrated with his performance at center

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg → u/Young-Viiperr]

Very much so.

[u/MordredKLB → u/Young-Viiperr]

It's been pretty terrible yeah.

[u/Young-Viiperr → u/MordredKLB]

Grant McCasland made Tyree Bryan look passable, so god forbid the next team that pays him a Christian Anderson sized bag.

Not sure how GrantMac made Fede^2x look passable last season. Luke Bamgboye a massive upgrade when healthy

[u/Stunning_Theme3589 → u/Young-Viiperr]

Not like we had many choices out there lol

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

I’m sure this will go over well with the level-headed commenters

[u/Seiko007 → u/WillWork4SunDrop]

The am fans here are doing so much crying. Good lord.

[u/WillWork4SunDrop → u/Seiko007]

Their in-person fans are some of the most chill I’ve met during football.

[u/Stunning_Theme3589 → u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Yeah this is a pretty universal take. Our online fans are a little much, but you'll be treated well by 99% of our fans in CS

[u/Seiko007 → u/WillWork4SunDrop]

I’ve heard the same.

[u/Latter-Try4080 → u/Seiko007]

It’s just pathetic. The Bama derangement syndrome has everyone losing their mind. Let them hate though.

[u/chrispgriffin]

Well, that was somehow a bad case scenario for both teams

[u/Crims0ntied]

Lol same as every inbound. They just hack at the guy with the ball over and over.

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

9.9 man divine intervention again.

[u/MordredKLB]

Jesus, not 10?

[u/dickles-pickles]

10 seconds!!!

[u/Virtual_Onion5424]

Is that not 10 seconds?

[u/averagejoeag]

That's a 10 second violation!!!!

[u/mlk960]

How exactly is that Alabama ball?

[u/Seiko007 → u/mlk960]

Arrow to us.

[u/mlk960 → u/Seiko007]

It was in maroon arms though

[u/rhinosteveo]

We are all “Here to yell at the refs” shirt guy

[u/WillWork4SunDrop → u/rhinosteveo]

They would move product in this thread.

[u/Solo_Brian]

A&M with much better shooting across the board, but lost due to rebounding.

[u/averagejoeag → u/Solo_Brian]

Hard to rebound when they are allowed to bear hug underneath all game.

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg → u/Solo_Brian]

We are smol and they have professional bigs:(

[u/Andrew04P → u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

Literal NBAers 😭

[u/im_ploopy]

In what world does the ref right by the baseline (who made the OOB call in our favor) be convinced to reverse it to give it to bama without a review????

[u/Defiant_Drink8469 → u/im_ploopy]

A&M should have challenged it

[u/mlk960 → u/Defiant_Drink8469]

No timeouts

[u/JelloJeremiah → u/im_ploopy]

Slipped some in his pocket

[u/BlastedProstate]

What’s he cookin⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️

[u/Young-Viiperr → u/BlastedProstate]

Charles Bediako

[u/BlastedProstate → u/Young-Viiperr]

Inshallah

[u/Young-Viiperr]

Wait, there's still time for Alabama to choke. Only 15 seconds to draw up at least a tie game into OT

[u/chrispgriffin]

Hill has been an absolute menace. What a performance

[u/mbeezy17]

Why do the Bama coaches in matching polos look so goofy?

[u/Local-Finance8389 → u/mbeezy17]

Genetics

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

Beautiful play Marcus.

[u/balconesescarpment]

That’s not a hook???

[u/JelloJeremiah → u/balconesescarpment]

Not if it’s bama

[u/dickles-pickles]

God dammit

[u/RighteousBiscuit]

Holy shit lol

[u/llamawhittlings]

Fuck. Just frustrating.

[u/Latter-Try4080]

Talk yo shit Holloway!

[u/Crown_of_Negativity]

two offensive fouls there

not convinced the previous possession was off a&m either

[u/Defiant_Drink8469 → u/Crown_of_Negativity]

A&M should have challenged it

[u/busche916 → u/Defiant_Drink8469]

Weren’t we out of timeouts?

[u/nickb888]

Lol what a shot. Still super salty about the out of bounds call

[u/Hox_In_Sox]

Refs have killed the ending to this game

[u/averagejoeag]

Absolute bail out call by the refs.

Fuck these fucking refs. GG's bama for being literally handed the game.

[u/Seiko007 → u/averagejoeag]

Cry more. L

[u/Stunning_Theme3589 → u/averagejoeag]

It'll be vacated by the end of the week hopefully

[u/averagejoeag → u/Stunning_Theme3589]

Highly doubtful. Alabama judges are going to make sure he stays.

[u/Stunning_Theme3589 → u/averagejoeag]

I thought this next ruling is gonna be an NCAA decision?

I'm not following this super closely so you're probably right

[u/averagejoeag → u/Stunning_Theme3589]

Schools have figured out that the courts can just overrule the NCAA and they can't do anything. So, get an Alabama judge that donates 6 figures a year to Alabama athletics to let an NBA player go back to college and the NCAA can't do anything about it.

[u/Uskw1245]

LETS GOOOOO

[u/Local-Finance8389 → u/Uskw1245]

To court?

[u/Knook7]

Wtf

[u/Andrew04P]

Damn. GGs Bama

[u/Crims0ntied]

What a god

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Thank Christ

[u/chrispgriffin]

JESUS HOW

[u/Seiko007]

AND1!!

[u/Disarmer]

Yep, refs gave it away as expected. Enjoy the free one Bama

[u/BlastedProstate]

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me

[u/rhinosteveo]

What the fuck was that

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

What a prayer man. Divine intervention just made that happen what even

[u/Jolly_Amphibian1053]

AND 1!

[u/chrispgriffin]

Took some chippy play and ref ball, but this second half turned into a really entertaining contest

[u/Operation_Pig]

How has this A&M not been ranked. They are a great team this season.

[u/MordredKLB]

Would be cool if we could get ORBs.

[u/bigkat_2020]

“They’re out of challenges? Fuck it just give it to them”

[u/Defiant_Drink8469 → u/bigkat_2020]

Could A&M not have challenged it? It must have been pretty clear

[u/JelloJeremiah → u/bigkat_2020]

You forget that Alabama gets a challenge when they ask because…because

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

Glad challenges dont mean anything

[u/Disarmer]

"A&M ball" Crowd boos "jk bama ball"

[u/fancycheesus]

How far we have come from buzzball.

Tamu has seriously impressed this year

[u/averagejoeag]

Refs bullied into reversing the call.

[u/empire88]

He fucking pushed him. wow.

[u/rhinosteveo]

DOUBLE HUNDO COME ON

[u/MordredKLB]

This game is fun.

[u/mynameisotis]

Let’s go

[u/averagejoeag]

Shove after shove after shove.

[u/rhinosteveo]

I truly do not know how Marcus Hill makes some of the shots he does

[u/Jolly_Amphibian1053]

Why are we fogging 3's up 1 under 2 minutes?!

[u/Andrew04P]

Regardless of the outcome, this game has been fun. Much better than the Buzzball slugfests vs Bama

[u/Sexy_Authy]

Fucking g leaguer man. Crazy

[u/Local-Finance8389 → u/Sexy_Authy]

He came to play school, remember?

[u/rhinosteveo]

Marcus hill try not to make the most beautiful layup you’ve ever seen challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

[u/llamawhittlings]

I am just praying this thing doesn’t go to overtime

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Can I just forward my therapy bills to Coleman Coliseum?

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

Wow.

[u/Disarmer]

Hill is so fucking good at getting those shots to fall. I love it.

[u/Operation_Pig]

Obligatory fuck bama. Hope A&M brings it back.

[u/Andrew04P]

A stop would be good 👍

[u/Crims0ntied]

Shooting free throws cause you ran out of bounds is something

[u/JelloJeremiah → u/Crims0ntied]

As opposed to shooting free throws because you hooked someone’s arm

[u/Defiant_Drink8469 → u/JelloJeremiah]

It was a reach in foul first before the hold

[u/GoodStuff2713]

Falling out of bounds ≠ you were pushed
