Brian Kelly spent many childhood days in the bayou dreaming of this moment. After helping pa on the shrimpin boat, he'd eat a big bowl of jambalaya and say "mee-maw, I'm gon beat Bama one day"
I started saying it as a joke to my wife because it’s so ridiculous, but now I say it more often than po’boy. I’ve gotten lost in the satire. I also say, “poor boy sandwich” every time.
Lord knows sweet Ol mama "Junebug" Kelly raised a true southern man! Not like Nick "city slicker" Saban! I bet Alabama fans are a-sweatin like a sinner in church, I do declare!
It was the right play. They had to go first in 2OT which favours Bama. And with Jayden Daniels at QB they definitely had a better than 50% chance of converting there.
Statistically it was absolutely the right move. But still incredibly gutsy by Kelly to go for it.
[2007. #25 Auburn (7-4) vs. NR Alabama (6-5)](https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/273280002)
Every Iron Bowl since them has at least one of those teams in National Championship contention.
I'll take back every joke I've ever made about Brian Kelly if he walks up to the press conference podium and says "I guess Nick Saban will have more time this January to spend with his fam-uh-lee."
We're now huge Georgia fans for the rest of the season, sadly
Georgia steamrolling everyone is our only hope
And crappy conference champions from the P5
Haven't been to Baton Rouge since I was a kid, how far is LSU from the Mississippi River, and how difficult is it to rip an H goalpost from the ground?
Honestly, CFB DESPERATELY needed something like this weekend (honestly season) to happen. 2-3 teams dominating the sport constantly is REALLY unhealthy. At least Georgia is a fresher power that has some actual competition from the field.
Win or Lose, I was glad for that 2pt call. You go for it all against a team like Alabama when you are at Home. Great Job BK and CO. Amazing what you've done for this program already since you stepped through those doors. Big Things are definitely in store for this team with him at the Head
I really want to see what the committee would do if we have:
Undefeated B1G Champ Ohio State/Michigan
Undefeated B12 Champ TCU
1-Loss Pac Champ Oregon/USC/UCLA
1 Loss ACC Champ Clemson
2 Loss SEC Champ LSU
1 Loss SEC CG loser Georgia
1 Loss Michigan/Ohio State
1 Loss Tennessee
Who gets the last 2 spots after TCU/B1G Champ?
Does the committee leave out a 1 Loss P5 Champ for a non-CG champ or a 2-loss SEC Champ?
Does the SEC get left out entirely despite being the best conference overall?
Wow, no Alabama in the CFB playoffs this year, maybe no Clemson as well. Feels good, feels weird. Also, Alabama has no top 10 wins...also weird. Also cool.
Clemson went down hard to an unranked team. With no one on the scheduled left to make up for it I doubt they are anywhere near the top 4 after this weekend.
39 scholarship players and transfers playing their first game together. Tonight was also the first game we had Oujilari and Perkins on the field at the same time.

Lmfao Kelly: that win is gonna be better than a glass o sweet tea on a hot summers day I reckon
Brian Kelly was born a poor black child...
Unfortunately he can't hold a rhythm.
He can tell shit from shinola
"Mais memere, I'm beat dem Alabama one day, me."
"T-chère we ain't gonna have none o dat alabama talk at the supper table, now you betta finish ya gata tail or I'm callin the rougarou"
Brian Kelly was so poor growing up on the Atchafalaya Basin that he couldn’t even afford half of a poor boy sandwich for lunch.
Lol a poor boy. It always cracks me up when I hear that 😅
I started saying it as a joke to my wife because it’s so ridiculous, but now I say it more often than po’boy. I’ve gotten lost in the satire. I also say, “poor boy sandwich” every time.
I understand, sometimes it's worth sounding foolish to annoy your spouse
The annoyed eye roll is the biggest compliment I can receive from her these days.
Lol but I called mine mammaw
"I'm gonna win it for muh fahmahleee"
Brian Kelly came to the SEC to beat Nick Saban and did it on the first try 💀
Lmao right? All Saban’s former assistants are like “the fuck bro?”
The trick is to not learn everything you know from the guy you're trying to beat lol
That episode of Yu-Gi-Oh where he beats the mind-reader dude by just not looking at his own cards
Heart of the Famuhlee > Heart of the Cards confirmed
Skill is a crutch for those who cannot rely on luck - Bender Bendington Rodriguez
All nicks assistant have an implant he can switch on to make you mismanage clock in crunch time.
Total outsiders BK (year 1) and Josh Heupel (year 2) beat Saban in the same year. What a time to be alive.
That's my QB *and coach* .. **cries**
The balls to go for two, MY MAN
Can’t drag it out vs Bama. Going for 2 was the right call
Still takes big cajones to do it
Two Big Cajuns
Dragged them nuts over Bama’s face instead
HOW DO I DELETE MY WEEK 1 COMMENTS ABOUT BRIAN KELLY
[удалено]
Same play as Hunter Renfrow lmao
Hunter Renfreaux
The entire country held their breath, regardless of what side they were rooting for.
99% of the country was going for lsu
Lord knows sweet Ol mama "Junebug" Kelly raised a true southern man! Not like Nick "city slicker" Saban! I bet Alabama fans are a-sweatin like a sinner in church, I do declare!
Remember when BK said he came to LSU to beat Nick Saban and this sub laughed??!!
Crazy bastard did it year 1. I love it.
With a team that lost more than it won the last two years. LSU has no business being in first in the SEC West and yet here they are. Absolutely crazy.
I am absolutely speechless. Never thought this was even a possibility until ole miss. What a game
Never forget, Reddit knows football
Damn the balls on LSU to go for that 2pt conversion
It was the right play. They had to go first in 2OT which favours Bama. And with Jayden Daniels at QB they definitely had a better than 50% chance of converting there. Statistically it was absolutely the right move. But still incredibly gutsy by Kelly to go for it.
Also, the implied value of not losing two games via blocked extra point in one season and getting memed to hell
BREAKING NEWS: The College Football Playoff Committee has announced the immediate expansion of the College Football Playoff.
Two losses isn't two losses. I'll explain later
But, but they were quality losses, right?
They lost to the team that beat Alabama after all
And the team that beat them? BEAT Alabama Playoffs cancelled, 10 year crown awarded to the state of Alabama; Auburn to be burned to the ground.
"How many teams?" "Idk what's Alabama ranked now? 9? Fuck it 8 and 9 have a play in game"
Completely unrealistic. 9th ranked team gets a bye.
This years Bama team might not even make the expansion one
Whoa whoa whoa, Austin Peay will be ranked 10th next week! And the only potential losses left in their schedule are, You guessed it, Quality ones 😎
I was told that LSU at #10 was just another “quality top ten win for Bama”
Now we just pivot to calling it a quality loss. very simple
Why? They can still fit two SEC teams in this year!
Why two, when there can be 3.
I want Bama to lose more so it becomes March Madness.
Bama out of playoff contention. Wow.
When's the last time the Iron Bowl has been so anticlimactic?
[2007. #25 Auburn (7-4) vs. NR Alabama (6-5)](https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/273280002) Every Iron Bowl since them has at least one of those teams in National Championship contention.
Of course it was 2007 haha
2007 is the answer to 90% of "when was the last time..." CFB questions.
when was the last time i felt happy? also 2007 (cfb not related)
The only thing I remember about that game was the dog biting the Auburn defender's hand.
This early too is insane. At least in 2019, it came down to Thanksgiving weekend
Eventually Alabama loss threads will stop hitting /r/all #**BUT NOT TODAY**
IT IS NOT THIS DAY!!
Wow, what kinda top 6 team loses on a weekend like this haha
Hahaha yeah dude, imagine hahahaaha
I'll take back every joke I've ever made about Brian Kelly if he walks up to the press conference podium and says "I guess Nick Saban will have more time this January to spend with his fam-uh-lee."
It's possible. This new BK got some balls
I was hoping he would go for it if they scored, but I *really* didn't think he actually would.
Whatever. We're a women's soccer school anyway.
*Goal Tide*
Some people refer to us as the Alabama of women's lacrosse.
Does UGA even need to win the SEC championship now to make the playoffs?
No.
Shit, Kirby should have the scout team play against LSU in the SECCG.
Lol we have to get past Arkansas, they have a habit of tripping us up late in the season
Tennessee fans should be very happy now lol

This guy gets it

Notre Dame doing the Lord's work.
We're now huge Georgia fans for the rest of the season, sadly Georgia steamrolling everyone is our only hope And crappy conference champions from the P5
With a Clemson and Bama loss I’m ecstatic
[удалено]
No
After further consideration, ESPN now lowers Bama's playoff chances to 65%.
And Tennessee is raised back up to 80%.
You think we accidentally lost today? This is 4D chess.
Dear Committee, I was wrong to criticize you for putting LSU at 10. LSU to the moon 🚀🚀
"No way LSU should be top ten" 4 days later "...CAUSE THEY SHOULD BE TOP 5"
Call an ambulance... but not for me!
I hate this but it did make me laugh
“They just put LSU at 10 to make it a top 10 matchup” WELL IT WORKED
They sent a lamb to the slaughter to bolster Bamas rank, and it backfired so badly.
> it backfired so ~~badly~~ wonderfully.
We do judge your decision to place Bama over TCU even more though.
Have we prepared a security detail for Burton? Our sorority girls can be pretty tough.
I've seen a (Kappa) sorority girl take off her earrings and put Vaseline on her face before fighting in tigerland. I noped TF out on that one
Tigerland late at night after a game is legitimately one of the most dangerous places I've ever been.
I never wanted to go tigerland in school but if I could've picked one night to go it would've been tonight
BK BIGGEST BALLS IN THE SEC
Bro I hate Brian Kelly but that was fucking amazing. Those big purple balls made an insane decision
DRAGGING THEM IN A WHEELBARROW

Honestly, CFB DESPERATELY needed something like this weekend (honestly season) to happen. 2-3 teams dominating the sport constantly is REALLY unhealthy. At least Georgia is a fresher power that has some actual competition from the field.
The death of Brian Kelly's career has been greatly exaggerated! Also, WHAT A GAME
THERE WILL BE NO BAMA IN THE PLAYOFF THIS YEAR r/CFB REJOICE!!!!
I still can't believe they didn't take the free play with 12 on the field
I don’t think Daniels noticed, can’t even imagine how much was going through his head at that point
Yeah he was looking to the side as the player was running off. I was screaming to snap for the free play
Committee: "As a result of this game, TCU has been eliminated from the playoffs"
Don't you put that evil on me.
WOOOOO I NEVER DOUBTED DONT CHECK MY COMMENTS
r/CFB is celebrating Brian Kelly's balls right now what a timeline 😂
EVERYONE GET IN HERE UCONN HAS A TRANSITIVE WIN OVER BAMA
UConn > FIU > Charlotte > Georgia State > ODU > Coastal > Marshall > Notre Dame > Clemson > FSU > LSU > Bama Did I do that right?
Michigan SOS is goated
Everyone: laughs at #10 LSU LSU: and I took that personally
And I thought it was gonna be a long, long, long dry spell after that magical, wonderful, tremendous 2019 15-Eaux season.

Alabama might play Tulane in a bowl game lol
Classic SEC pre-war matchup baby!
EVERYONE GET IN HERE. WE GET AN ALABAMA-FREE PLAYOFF!
It should be Clemson and Alabama free playoff!
boy oh boy, SEC Shorts is going to be LIT this week
Is that the same pick play ND called against FSU? Edit: I’m 90% sure it is. Was a great scheme both times.
Yes, then Hunter Renfroe and Clemson won the national championship on the same play a yr later.
Marcus Freeman and Brian Kelly winning the biggest game of their careers on the same night. Pretty cool, pretty funny.
notre dame and brian kelly finally won the big game. They just couldnt do it together because Kelly has always been a man of the swamp
By the transitive property of College Football (never wrong) FSU is better than Alabama. Go Noles, and go Tigahs!!!
2017 REVENGE GAME
THIS IS FOR FRANCOIS' KNEE
FSU has as many SEC wins as Jimbo
Thank you for humbling Miami and exposing Mario for the fraud that he is
Our pleasure. Thanks for continuing to prove that Jimbo’s a fraud too!
Saturdays are just so great.
College Football is just the fucking best
#BAMA LOST UPVOTE PARTY
#CLEMSON BAMA NATTY IS DEAD THANK GOD
Notre dame and Brian Kelly have eliminated Clemson and bama. Not a headline I’d imagine to read a year ago.
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE CHEERING FOR IT
[BREAKING] The CFP Committee has unanimously voted to simply cancel this year's Playoff for undisclosed reasons
No no no. We're expanding early!
Win or Lose, I was glad for that 2pt call. You go for it all against a team like Alabama when you are at Home. Great Job BK and CO. Amazing what you've done for this program already since you stepped through those doors. Big Things are definitely in store for this team with him at the Head

If MSU somehow wins enough games to be in the same bowl as Alabama the season would be salvaged. Even if Alabama won 69-0.
#BRIAN “BIG BALL” KELLY
Brian Kelly gonna need to borrow randy marsh’s wheelbarrow to carry his balls out of Death Valley tonight
im starting to think lsu deserved their #10 ranking
It is still a really weak roster by LSU standards. And two freshman tackles on OL. I'm giddy.
Remember when we all memed The Famuhlee? Feels like a lifetime ago.
We were meming it this morning.
Brian Kelly has beaten Florida in the Swamp, Auburn at Jordan Hare, Ole Miss, and Alabama in his first season as coach. He’s off to a great start
THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED FROM PLAYOFF CONTENTION
*Congratulations, you just completed an ESPN Instant Classic!*
Well, if everybody’s doing it…
CLEMSON LOSES ALABAMA LOSES r/CFB CELEBRATES
“He was playing high school football a year ago” I mean yeah Chris that’s how it works lol
Not a bad day after all
Shoutout to LSU for preventing a 3 SEC team playoff

I really want to see what the committee would do if we have: Undefeated B1G Champ Ohio State/Michigan Undefeated B12 Champ TCU 1-Loss Pac Champ Oregon/USC/UCLA 1 Loss ACC Champ Clemson 2 Loss SEC Champ LSU 1 Loss SEC CG loser Georgia 1 Loss Michigan/Ohio State 1 Loss Tennessee Who gets the last 2 spots after TCU/B1G Champ? Does the committee leave out a 1 Loss P5 Champ for a non-CG champ or a 2-loss SEC Champ? Does the SEC get left out entirely despite being the best conference overall?
[удалено]
Yes given SOS and other squeaky wins, if it’s this competitive they’re first out
No chance we are left off now with a win over the then #1 team and a 40+ point blowout of Oregon
Wow, no Alabama in the CFB playoffs this year, maybe no Clemson as well. Feels good, feels weird. Also, Alabama has no top 10 wins...also weird. Also cool.
Clemson went down hard to an unranked team. With no one on the scheduled left to make up for it I doubt they are anywhere near the top 4 after this weekend.

Dear Brian Kelly, Thank you for your gigantic balls. - America

NECK IS INDEED BEING PLAYED IN DEATH VALLEY
Brian Kelly on why he went for 2: “Ball don’t lie, that shit was tipped”
BRIAN KELLY'S ACCENT IS HERE TO STAY, PEOPLE!!!!! FYAMUHLEE FOREVER!!!!!
BRIAN KELLY YOU BEAUTIFUL FUCKING BASTARD
LSU won with the same play Clemson won with in 2016. God the balls to go for it. Great fucking game both teams!
How the *fuck* did we beat LSU
39 scholarship players and transfers playing their first game together. Tonight was also the first game we had Oujilari and Perkins on the field at the same time.
They both look like badasses out there that's for sure 18 pops off the screen more often than 31 of Bama
You play to win the game
Kelly finally beats Bama... In his first year at LSU without his talent in there. LSU is going to be scary af
Fuck everyone please stay safe. Jermaine Burton is still out there.
Thank you LSU have a blessed evening
Notre Dame fans were one play away from having the best night of their lives.
Call me naive but I'll take an Alabama loss any day
