It was a blessing, you know. The Alabama football team lost a truly memorable Iron Bowl in 2013 when Auburn defensive back Chris Davis took an errant Adam Griffith field goal 109 yards to paydirt with just one second left on the clock.
Tide fans try to forget it. I know I do. ESPN makes it a personal mission to play it at least 15 times every year prior to the game. It’s hard not to be affected when they interrupt programming to show it. However, just two days ago I realized that it doesn’t matter. It didn’t matter then (Auburn won the conference, but lost the national title) and it certainly doesn’t matter now.
