Alabama Crimson Tide fans won't let the ending of the SEC championship game go. Leave it to a former Alabama coach, or someone claiming to be him, to put the Alabama fans in their place.
Gamedayr.com reported Friday that Alabama fans have submitted a petition on Change.org for the NCAA and SEC to require the Auburn Tigers and Alabama to play overtime.
The title of the petition is, "NCAA Football and SEC Commissioner: Chris Davis was clearly out of bounds. Make this right for everyone and play overtime from the Iron Bowl 2013."
The petition on Change.org reads:
"Chris Davis from Auburn was clearly out of bounds in running the missed field goal back for a touchdown in the 2013 Iron Bowl. There was way to much riding on this game for that to have been missed- a SEC Championship and National Championship. I think they should put together an overtime play for Auburn and Alabama. Yes, I know how impossible that sounds and how much trouble it will be BUT sometimes you have to make wrongs RIGHT and with so much riding on that game the SEC and NCAA needs to make it right for the players, university, fans, coaches, SEC and SPORTS in general. And if they don't like the hassel then go out and make sure your employees, the refs, are not making such HUGE mistakes. And the refs needs to be punished for not even reviewing the play because it wasn't even close- he was CLEARLY out of bounds. Its not fair to say that this is over and overtime can't be played now just because of how much trouble this would be to put together. It was wrong....and you need to make it right regardless of the hassel.
SEC and NCAA- do the right thing and make this right for everyone involved!!"
Not only does the petition for grammatical and spelling accuracy, but one of the comments under from the petition is from someone claiming to be Dennis Franchione , the former Alabama coach and now the coach at Texas State, who seems to blow the whole argument out of the water.
"You geniuses realize that in this photo Davis' left-foot is in the air? It's from this video. He never stepped out of bounds, unfortunately."
It's hard to believe that the real Franchione responded to the petition, but the response adds to the farce of the protest.
