The Digital Age has brought with it many unspeakable horrors: identity theft, the existential threat of AI and buffering during live streams of sporting events.
After Saturday’s thrilling ending to the Iron Bowl rivalry game between Alabama and Auburn, videos have been emerging on social media of fans from both sides watching Alabama’s dramatic game-winning play, a 31-yard touchdown pass on 4th down. For one group of Alabama fans, however, the drama lasted a little longer than it did for everyone else watching.
This might be my favorite video of 4th and 31. Can you imagine 😂

The deafening silence while the stream buffers is something all of us can relate to. While they missed Jalen Milroe’s thrilling touchdown live, it’s certainly a viewing experience they won’t forget.
