CBS’s Shots of Really Sad Auburn Fans After Stunning Loss to Alabama Led to So Many Jokes

In this story:
Alabama won the latest edition of the Iron Bowl in stunning fashion on Saturday, beating Auburn with a game-winning touchdown in the final minute on a 31-yard touchdown pass that came on a fourth-and-goal play.
That play, which will be shown for the rest of time when discussing this heated rivalry, had Alabama fans losing their minds in a good way, and had Auburn fans feeling all the emotions in a rough way.
Look at this poor Auburn fan who thought she would be capturing a game-sealing moment for her Tigers, only to see a nightmare play out in front of her eyes:
