Auburn
- What the fuck was that? Jesus Christ. That was 2012-level suckage.
- How the hell did we open the game with a commanding, dominating drive for a touchdown and then not do jackshit the rest of the game?
- I don't think it was Gus's play calling. We had some serious drops on drives that were going well. You know, until the drops. That happen all the fucking time with this team.
- This team also does a really good job of finding ways to shoot itself in the foot. Usually twice. Miss State was two fumbles. Texas A&M was two quick touchdowns given up. Georgia it was forcing two punts (hey the defense is improving!) that somehow both led to Georgia first downs that went on to be touchdowns.
- I think Gus freaked out a little bit once Georgia went up 17-7. That's on him. I think we could have and should have gotten another score in the 1st half. 17-14. But we didn't call the typical plays. Maybe we couldn't have.
- Maybe we couldn't do anything because the defense was soft, putty pudding fat slow dumbfuck slothlike apathetic maggot self-entitled hallelujah, holy shit, where's the tylenol.
- That defensive performance was 2012 bad. WORSE. 2012 had nothing to play for. THIS TEAM WAS STILL IN CONTENTION FOR THE FUCKING SEC WEST! ALABAMA BEAT MISS STATE!! And how does the team respond? By getting bulldozed by a Georgia team that was bulldozed by a Florida team that had a lameduck coach? I can't get my head around this.
- And it scares me. Because this team regressed. Not just a little. Not some regression. Like may need to play its starters until the 4th quarter in order to beat Samford type of regression. Like 42-6 against Alabama won't surprise me regression. Like hopefully we get Virginia in the Shreveport Bowl so we can maybe win regression.
- That's on Malzahn. This season is purely on Malzahn. Not questioning his future or anything like that. Well, maybe I am if I feel the need to add that qualification. But this is bad news tonight.
- But on the other hand, what the hell else could he do? Maybe we were lucky to have the success we've had considering...
- We're starting a shit wide receiver at corner and a running back at safety. Our one good safety, a senior leader of the team, took a swing at a coach and was suspended for half the season. Our other starting corner that actual is a corner is maybe 5'7 though he's listed as 5'9. Our STAR nearly missed games for a suspension and he's not exactly a great cover guy as he's more of a small linebacker than a DB. Our future 1st round draft pick defensive end blew his knee out. And finally in 2011 and 2012 we only signed six defensive linemen total, a few of which are no longer on the team, and none of which were four star or higher defensive ends.
- We have no talent on defense. Can it get better?
- We've recruited more defensive linemen the past two classes than the previous three combined. Some are getting playing time. We still need more playmakers. Can we sell playing time? Can we sell Ellis Johnson?
- Unfortunately, this current class doesn't have much for defensive linemen. Maybe because we recruited so many before.
College Football
- I'm sick of this era of college football. Did anyone think Alabama wouldn't win today? They were 10 point favorites over the #1 team in the country. It's a fucking rerun. Has been since 2008. That's seven years where you pretty much knew going into a game that Alabama would win and were only pleasantly surprised to see them lose.
- I've watched dynasties fall. USC? Fell. Took six seasons in the Pac 10 pre-Oregon. Florida? Fell. Took four seasons. Miami? Three seasons. Alabama? Seven and counting? After losing so many key players from last year's team? After hiring Lane Kiffin? After the numerous should-be-scandals that have hit the news and then been swept under the rug?
- Maybe I'm sick of college football. But I'm not. I love watching it. Even if the teams I'm rooting for lose. I still enjoy what goes on in college football.
- But I am really sick of Tuscaloosa always winning. Call it a melt. I want to be done with it. Auburn like 99% of the schools in the country can't have a dominant team every year. It's just not going to happen. But right now, one slip up of a season means ass kicking in the Iron Bowl because somehow Alabama happens to field NFL Minor League All Stars every fucking year.
