Well, today was pretty damn awesome! Georgia beat Georgia Tech 52-7 to reclaim the Governor’s Cup and Auburn beat Alabama to eliminate the Crimson Tide from playoff contention.
Of course, there was a pretty controversial clock stoppage before halftime that caused Auburn to get a field goal over Alabama, but in the end, the Tigers deserved to win.
Fight me. I don’t care. Alabama lost and that’s that.
Now, enjoy the reactions from angry Tide fans.
Gut wrenching loss for Alabama, but anyone that directs hatred or vitriol towards the Alabama Kicker needs to take a step back and remember that nobody is hurting more than him.
It’s a team game and it always comes down to more than just one play. Win as a team, lose as a team.

Yep! Mac gave them 14, the refs gave them 3 and we know our kicking game is iffy at best. Watched Bama play Duke in Atlanta and made the comment our defense is no where near championship level. 11 players and 10 can be doing their job and the one not can cost us.

Cliff Notes to the game:
Bama needs a defense! Whether it’s the scheme, coaches, discipline, motivation, dedication, or all of the above…

Such a weird regular season when Illinois finishes with more Top 25 wins than Alabama.

This wasn’t a Bama tweet, but it was funny.
It is called the Pinocchio Trump jinx when Alabama cheered for him at the LSU game which is still haunting them

Alright…
i’m in a group text with several alabama and auburn people and all i can do is silently observe the back and forth because if i even send an innocuous gif at this point they’re gonna dunk on me so hard

Georgia fans hate Alabama since they don’t know what winning a National Championship looks like
LSU will beat them anyway so they still won’t know

Awe.
Me watching y’all talk shit about Alabama losing meanwhile your team is 7-5…. #RollTide pic.twitter.com/OIhtpSdt8U

Honestly, since Alabama was the entire reason FOR the playoff, it legally belongs to us. They aren’t allowed to have it without us.
Sorry bout it.

Can someone explain why Alabama was penalized for 12 men on the field before the ball was snapped? I thought a team had until the snap to make substitutions.

@AlabamaFTBL First time I've said this in 12 years, this is on Saban not having his team ready to play. The coaching was terrible, the execution was terrible, and the referees were terrible. Alabama needs to make DRASTIC changes at the coordinator level at least. #IronBowl2019

13 penalties. (though not all actually occurred), 2 pick-sixes (Mac played really well, but both avoidable. The one on 1st down at ~AU 2 you must throw away if you don't have a play and make a play on 2nd or 3rd down), a lot of AU luck and favorable calls for AU.

Well, we can't win them all …. it's a shame what an extra second can do for Auburn.

FIRE PETE GOLDING AND SARK RIGHT NOW! BENCH DIGGS! I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MORE INEPT DEFENSE IN MY LIFE

Since 2018… since 2018… well…. they can lose sometimes. It’s a game… somebody has to win and somebody has to lose. Losing builds character and helps to focus and be humble. Life lessons…
— Moha- (@Moha11220802) December 1, 2019
Damn those 3 points refs gave them at half really did lose them the game
— Shaw 2x (@2xShaw) December 1, 2019
Auburn has to resort trickery to beat Alabama!They would never beat Alabama in a heads up style game minus the deceptions and a little help from the refs. The field goal by Auburn before the half should have never happened. Auburn even had the referees tricked!!!
— William Stevens (@William30037532) December 1, 2019
Uhh what?
Mac should’ve been replaced with Taulia a long time ago. Nick didn’t even try tonight. Just sad and disappointing…
— Jessica (@jessica_tashbin) December 1, 2019
So there’s this…
I think everyone can put to rest the negative Mac Jones comments because that dude played a hell of a game.The interception in the end zone was more Najee’s fault for tipping it into Auburn’s guys hands.Roll Tide Roll and you guys hold your heads up.
— Scott Finch (@ScottFi63100062) December 1, 2019
Then this.. Pick one.
Thats what you get for having Trump come to a game!!! Two losses since he came!!! He does nothing but create losses!!!! Congress, Governors, and Bama!!!
— Daniel (@chop1222) December 1, 2019
Keep politics out of the Iron Bowl haha!
Mac Jones cost us the game
— Tommy Kelley (@ILTidefan) December 1, 2019
It’s for the best because our defense would get 300 hung on them in the play offs 😂.
— Okay Boomer (@Okay__Boomer) December 1, 2019
This is lame, the only reason Auburn won is because the refs bailed them out with penalties. Imagine if Harden got the calls Auburn gets, he'd average 90 PPG and have 13 championships and MVPs.

The fix was in…@SECOfficiating gave them the game

Yes, that’s our Roll Tide Wire co-worker….
He actually handled the loss pretty well, but others did not.
So, there are some Alabama fans handling this loss surprisingly well. Lol pic.twitter.com/Fzxwu6140D
— Clint Lamb (@ClintRLamb) December 1, 2019
I don’t think there’s enough praise going around for the way Mac Jones played.
Was he perfect? No, but I’m blown away by what I saw tonight. To say he was good enough to win would be a massive understatement.
