AU @ Vandy

[Godfather]

While we're piling on...and sorry if this was discussed...from a strategy standpoint, the last drive of the first half by Vandy had as much to do with our chances of winning, or lack thereof, as anything.  Anyone recall a stat they put up just before that drive started.  Vandy had 75 yards on their opening drive and 22 total on the 4 drives after that.  So when a team has about 80 yards to go with 1:20 left in the half, do you continue to play them straight up as you have all half?  Or do you drop everyone back and allow them to run eleven plays in about a minute? 

The points they got right there before the half, was the difference in us needing a field goal from a great kicker...or Loeffler and Moseley having to get 6 to win.  On that last drive before half, all we could do was holler "WHY?" at the TV.  Was that the Stache's call?  Chizik's?

Someone else said it, but I was texting it to you fuckers.  Vandy tried to give us that game...several times, and we still couldn't capitalize.  You bring up a good point but I can't look at that drive and say it was the deciding factor.  That game should have been called dumb and dumber. 

Oh and who ever said Franklin in the other thread...fuck you.  Do not want. He almost made our coaching staff look smart.

I love the smell of vindication in the morning.  Smells like patient, virtuous victory.

Oh I was with you before kimosabe, but even more after the game.

*edit* I forgot I did say he was a good coach, that didn't mean I wanted him.  but I take back what I said.

Did anyone else notice that #5 was on the field that whole drive?

[Snaggletiger]

Franklin and Chizik are apparently besties.  He purposely made dumbass calls to keep Gene in the game and not embarrass him.  It's the only explanation for running the option on 4th and 57.

He already plays 12 yards deep so he was a natural.

Would wining the game really make any difference?  I am to the point where if it gets the changes that need to be made and show just how inept our staff is, then fuck em. I hope we lose to AAM.

I know I'm late to the party and probably missed it, but where's the thread devoted to a middle linebacker having 12 tackles in his very first start?  Legit tackles.  No two hand tag on the runner as he's getting up off the pile.  I'm sure he probably had his share of blown assignments but shazzam, I thought he looked damn good.

His ability and outstanding play only infuriated me more.

Gusty...I tells ya.
