The chance of alabama(or any offense)       converting 4th and goal from the 30 yard line is obviously poor, but it's far       higher than 1 out of 1000. Even true 50 yard hail marys have a much better       chance than that, and this        was 20 yards closer and just a long pass and not a hail mary.               Remember, though, mia -- that's to win the game.              To do that, Alabama must:              * convert 4th and goal from the 31       * and THEN prevent Auburn from getting a quick tying score and Auburn wins in       OT or a quick Auburn winning score              I think <0.1% is actually correct here.              Mike              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
