re: Jacob Hester caught that pass on 4th down against Auburn in 2006

For how much luck Les had he sure did have shite luck at times. It all evened out I guess.

I’ve always said Les had the worst luck I’ve ever seen.

Seriously, what kind of “lucky” breaks went his way??

Pitt over WVU 07 (more than outweighed by ISU over OSU in 11)

UT 13 men on the field and lucky bounce on the fake FG @UF 2010 (more than outweighed by the awful luck of recovering that onside kick and catching a HM short of the end zone @OM 09 creating the clock it disaster and the ridiculous win turned to loss @Auburn that was the last straw in his tenure in BR).

He also had to kick two program defining players in RP and TM off the team shortly before the seasons in which they were to become face of the programs, and lost an OC to illness leading up to a potential NC winning season, and a preseason Heisman contending RB to preseason injury going into his make or break season.

Never mind the numerous shite calls in numerous Auburn and Alabama games over the years, he had the WORST LUCK IN THE HISTORY OF CFB when his predecessor coming back to coach his rival in his own division and establish the greatest dynasty in the history of modern college football.

PLUS beating him in THE GAME OF THE CENTURY on the road then having to face an all time great team again in the BCSNG.


And of course the bad luck of hiring some peasant assistant that had delusions of grandeur and was plotting his demise behind his back even before he got there.


Dude couldn’t catch a break to save his life imo.

Someone please list all the mythical lucky breaks please and thanks

Couldn’t agree more. Meanwhile, Saban loses a game every year and gets to play for Natties regardless of whether he ever wins his own conference. Remember it was Saban who got the break of getting in the title game in 2003 over USC with one loss, then Auburn goes unbeaten in 04 but misses out when the other two teams were the ones involved (USC and OK).

The worst officiated game I’ve seen on any level

I'm not usually in on the ref conspiracy theories, but...

This is a fact.

I was 16 and watched that game with my grandpa. Only game I’ve actually shed a tear after because I knew we were better and that there was no way in hell that offense should ever score just 3 points

Yep. AU my fav rivalry game. Period.

So many bad calls by the refs over the years at Auburn.

The penalty reversal on the PI where they called it PI on Auburn and a 1st down, and then to wave if off a minute later was the biggest bullshite ever.

PI is judgment call and can't be reviewed.

Yes he did but it's still a loss. 2006 was a National Championship potential team.

This. One of the best teams to not have won. I believe with a CFP, they would have matched up with UF and took them to the woodshed the second time around. By the end of December that team was crazy good. Two difficult losses to swallow for sure.
