Final SEC Championship Game with Mike Slive as commissioner today. Quite the legacy he’s established in college athletics.

War Damn Mizzou! No No love over here!

lol, Bama running godless no-huddle, trader joe's coming to Tuscaloosa like next week

Kiffin trying to get Sims in a groove early. It's working.

Amari Cooper—breaking ankles and Missouri's heart.

As clean of a drive as you could get out of the gates. Bama 7-0, 11:24/1st

T.J. Yeldon rushes one yard for the Alabama touchdown! Tide scores first in the #SECChampionship #RollTide #BAMAvsMIZZ
— Alabama Football (@AlabamaFTBL) December 6, 2014
That was quick. @ALABAMAFTBL strikes first. #SECChampionship pic.twitter.com/OFyoIFPq2n

Yeldon’s one-yard TD run extended UA’s scoring streak to 182 consecutive games – the longest streak in program history. #SECChampionship
— Alabama Football (@AlabamaFTBL) December 6, 2014
Mizzou start on offense: Mauk short-arms a swing pass, WR drops a screen, Mauk nearly picked throwing against pressure. Not ideal.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) December 6, 2014
We all know Mizzou needs some breaks to win this game. Not recovering back-to-back 50/50 fumbles is the opposite of breaks.

SEAN CULKIN YOU HAVE TO CATCH THE BALL

Missouri is determined to run East-West. That's not gonna work.
— Barrett Sallee (@BarrettSallee) December 6, 2014
Maty Mauk 2 of 8 for 18 yards in the early going. Two pretty bad drops, two bad throws and two desperation heaves.
— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) December 6, 2014
Dave Steckel brought the blitz and it did not get there. Left Kentrell Brothers on Amari Cooper. Not ideal.
— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) December 6, 2014
End of 1st quarter: Alabama only leads 7-0, but Missouri hasn’t been able to move the ball at all.

Amari Cooper is on pace for 838 catches in the SECCG, roughly.
— Barrett Sallee (@BarrettSallee) December 6, 2014
Saban turned off fatigue on Cooper's settings, totally not fair
— SPENCER HALL (@edsbs) December 6, 2014
Blake Sims' 1st deep shot falls incomplete, his 1st of the day. MU clogs the middle on 3rd and 5 and forces a 43-yard FG attempt.
— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) December 6, 2014
Alabama FG team gonna Alabama FG team. Might as well have gone for it, Nick. Still 7-0, Bama after a Griffith miss.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) December 6, 2014
Maybe the punter should do everything for Alabama on special teams
— Matt Brown (@MattBrownCFB) December 6, 2014
Field goals are the only thing that swing left in Alabama.
— Ryan Nanni (@celebrityhottub) December 6, 2014
Putting up five times the yards and eight times the number of first downs and being up 7-0 is the most Lane Kiffin result ever.
— Pacific Takes (@PacificTakes) December 6, 2014
This is exactly what Missouri wants to do, FWIW; make it an ugly, sloppy, low-scoring affair. Alabama is assisting them in that endeavor.
— Roll Bama Roll (@rollbamaroll) December 6, 2014
Drop count: 3.
— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) December 6, 2014
You don't want to give Bama a short field to work with and that's what Mizzou does with a kick catch interference penalty on the punt
— Edward Aschoff (@AschoffESPN) December 6, 2014
Mizzou is doing a fantastic job in its role as “Arizona Last Night."
— Tom Fornelli (@TomFornelli) December 6, 2014
Welp.
— Tom Fornelli (@TomFornelli) December 6, 2014
Such an easy score. You do have to cover guys that aren't 9. You can't just let them do stuff.
— Michael Felder (@InTheBleachers) December 6, 2014
Double move. Absolute Killer. Great play call by Kiffin. #SECCG
— Matt Hayes (@Matt_HayesSN) December 6, 2014
And with that TD, Blake Sims is the single-season passing leader at Alabama.
— Marc Torrence (@marctorrence) December 6, 2014
Blake Sims get CRUSHED after his TD pass and that's a penalty. Lane Kiffin waves hands at Mizzou bench for the cheap shot
— Edward Aschoff (@AschoffESPN) December 6, 2014
Sims with an absolute beauty to DeAndrew White on the post. Perfect TD. Bigger news: Targeting on Shane Ray, and it is CLEARLY targeting.
— Roll Bama Roll (@rollbamaroll) December 6, 2014
And that's a huge ejection. Ray leads the SEC in sacks and already had one today.
— Marc Torrence (@marctorrence) December 6, 2014
Griffith tacks on the point after to give Alabama a 14-0 lead in the #SECChampionship! #RollTide #BAMAvsMIZZ
— Alabama Football (@AlabamaFTBL) December 6, 2014
Someone is going to take a chance on Kiffin this offseason. Guarantee it.
— Matt Hayes (@Matt_HayesSN) December 6, 2014
By the way, Kiffin had his hands up for touchdown before that throw too. #SECChampionship
— Matt Hayes (@Matt_HayesSN) December 6, 2014
Lane Kiffin did it again. Sims hasn't even thrown yet. pic.twitter.com/bBtTq67kv1
— Marc Torrence (@marctorrence) December 6, 2014
Wowowow what a catch there.
— Michael Felder (@InTheBleachers) December 6, 2014
What a catch by Jimmie Hunt. Mauk was just throwing that up for grabs.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) December 6, 2014
Andrew Baggett is good from 33. MU got a little something going on that drive. Huge bailout from Jimmie Hunt.
— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) December 6, 2014
That should have been ruled a fumble and there was no review. Derrick Henry with a big run on the next play. Interesting…
— Barrett Sallee (@BarrettSallee) December 6, 2014
(SEC replay official continues licking cheese dust off his fingers)
— Ryan Nanni (@celebrityhottub) December 6, 2014
Good presence of mind for Blake Sims to go sidearm there around a rushing Markus Golden. Alabama picks up the 1st down.
— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) December 6, 2014
Amari Cooper has set the SEC record for receptions in a season
— Brandon Larrabee (@TeamSpeedKills) December 6, 2014
Yeldon in for the TD. 21-3 Bama, 2:47 Q2.
— Barrett Sallee (@BarrettSallee) December 6, 2014
For people asking about the fumble in the Alabama game, they ruled forward progress and they were right. Forward progress is not reviewable.
— Mike Pereira (@MikePereira) December 6, 2014
Mizzou just not getting enough pressure on Sims now. Not having Ray in there is an absolute killer to this defense
— Edward Aschoff (@AschoffESPN) December 6, 2014
Nice creativity from Maty Mauk, working the scramble drill by Darius White to get 26 yards down the sideline.
— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) December 6, 2014
Jarran Reed. 6-4/315. Junior. Address: Missouri's backfield.
— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) December 6, 2014
Congrats 2 @AmariCooper9 on the record! Couldn't ask for a better player to represent that accomplishment! Go get my career yards too!

MU gets the ball to start. Needs to do something with it.
— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) December 6, 2014
Jump ball. It’s all Mizzoou does in passing game. Been doing it all season. #SECChampionship
— Matt Hayes (@Matt_HayesSN) December 6, 2014
Jimmie Hunt is pulling some veteran moves on these Alabama corners. Got 63 on that play. Strong throw from Maty Mauk.
— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) December 6, 2014
Maty Mauk, Greatest 500 Player Ever
— Ryan Nanni (@celebrityhottub) December 6, 2014
What a fiasco for Mizzou. From a sure touchdown (dropped) to 4th and goal from the 1. Gotta go, Pinkel.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) December 6, 2014
Tiger, tiger, burning bright In the forests of the night What immortal hand or eye Could oh thank god you finally scored

Missouri scores on its first drive of the third quarter. Alabama leads the #SECChampionship game 21-10. #BAMAvsMIZZ
— Alabama Football (@AlabamaFTBL) December 6, 2014
That throw was unreal from Sims. That was an NFL throw. #SECChampionship
— Matt Hayes (@Matt_HayesSN) December 6, 2014
Blake Sims gets all day to throw, DeAndrew White gets open in 1-on-1 on Duron Singleton and that's a 32-yard 3rd-and-10 conversion.
— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) December 6, 2014
SACK! Charles Harris with the pressure forcing Sims into Harold Brantley and Lucas Vincent
— Rock M Nation (@rockmnation) December 6, 2014
JK Scott is a serious athlete. That was a very tough play to get the punt off.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) December 6, 2014
TURN DOWN FOR HUNT

Mauk scrambles, tosses up prayer, answered.

Andrew Baggett's good from 33 again and MU is within a score. Hey now.

Mizzou showing some admirable second-half fight, as it did last week. But needed seven there, not three.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) December 6, 2014
Jimmie Hunt has 120 of Missouri's 140 yards this quarter.

Great throw by Sims in a small window that still allowed Jones to protect himself.

Lane Kiffin signaled TD mid-screen pass. It almost was

Lane Kiffin motions Christion Jones to the flat, Michael Scherer marks him, trips and Jones is in for a 6-yard score.

At the point in an Alabama game where you remember that watching Vikings pillage was way more depressing and boring than you think it was
— SPENCER HALL (@edsbs) December 6, 2014
Jimmie. Doing Jimmie things. 169 receiving yards.
— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) December 7, 2014
Mizzou absolutely needs a stop or turnover from the defense here. Time is running out
— Rock M Nation (@rockmnation) December 7, 2014
Herman Edwards — I mean Gary Pinkel — punts down 15 with 12:15 left. #NFLMENTALITY

Cooper with his 12th catch, SEC title game record.
— Cecil Hurt (@CecilHurt) December 7, 2014
Pretty play from Blake Sims, using his athleticism to scramble for 17, then the defense parts for Derrick Henry to take it 26 yards for a TD
— David Morrison (@DavidCMorrison) December 7, 2014
I'd say it's officially over here in Atlanta … 35-13 Alabama
— Edward Aschoff (@AschoffESPN) December 7, 2014
That fumble pretty much sums up Missouri's offense today …
— Edward Aschoff (@AschoffESPN) December 7, 2014
Darius White holding that ball very cavalierly, J'Mon Moore can't come up with the fumble, but Landon Collins does. Alabama ball.
