Alabama fan starts petition asking for Iron Bowl overtime


It's hard for Alabama fans to come to the realization that Saturday's shocking loss to Auburn is already in the books.

A Crimson Tide supporter started an online petition asking the NCAA for an Iron Bowl do-over, arguing against all proof to the contrary that Auburn's Chris Davis stepped out of bounds when he ran back a missed field goal more than 100 yards with no time left on the clock to give the Tigers a 34-28 win.


Ignoring the video evidence, Tracy C. from Hoover, Ala., insists in a change.org petition that "Davis was clearly out of bounds" and that "the refs needs to be punished for not even reviewing the play because it wasn't even close."

The only way to get things right, Tracy C. argues, is for both teams to return to the field and play an overtime, where the game's true winner will emerge victorious.

"I know how impossible that sounds and how much trouble it will be BUT sometimes you have to make wrongs RIGHT."



The petition, which is now closed, has gotten support from over 700 other 'Bama fans who refuse to accept that their team lost on the unbelievable play.
