re: What was the emotions in the room like when everyone knew we were going for 2?

Yeah, baby!!!

I was nervous as frick, but thought it was the right call. Don't give the refs another OT to frick us some more.

I threw a patio chair 40ft hitting my poor dog with it in the process. I was screaming noises words cannot describe. I had to sit down afterwards cuz I almost blacked out from my heart rate and blood pressure....

It was the first time all game I wasn’t nervous.
Win or lose I was all in and super stoked

I told my wife (no pics) this is the right call, even if they don't make it. We're playing a more talented team, a team with the best QB in the country, and all of the refs calls are going against us. This is the right call

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. No idea why, but I felt like I had to tell my wife it didn’t matter if the play didn’t work. I wanted to say out loud before it happened that it was the right call. As if my approval mattered in the slightest.

Like the feeling when you’re at the blackjack table down to your last two chips. Dealt an 11 and know you have to double down

I said "F it, I'm fine with the call either way." Perfect example of a calculated risk.

BK isn't one to just go for 2 willy-nilly. He had a play and just needed the players to execute.

I was actually shocked and scared to death. But I knew it was the right call, whether it worked or not. That's Alabama. You've got one play to beat them. You have to try. Everybody at my house was screaming bloody murder after that. Just insane. That was up there with the LSU v Florida win vs Tebo.

My only spoken word was, “Lesticles”.
