The Gus Bubble

So we are a 14 point favorite going into College Station this weekend. I guess Vegas thinks Sumlin's doneski there. I heard somewhere they might play a different QB this weekend. How many of those do they even have? Auburn should blow them out but I bet our bumblefoots screw around and coach this team so badly it stays closer than it should.

Sucks, this does.

If youâ€™ve been on the receiving end of a snot bubble hit, you know what Iâ€™m talking about.

There arenâ€™t many on here tough enough to endure. But WT has blown a few snot bubbles.

I liked ear holing people, I never stood there to check if bubbles were coming out of their noses as they laid there motionless or crying.

The QB that started the first game against UCLA got hurt in that game. The freshman, Mond (sp?), has played since. He got snot bubbled by the Bullpuppies and they put the first guy back in for the first time since UCLA.

This was about football, not sexual acts. Sounds kinky but whatever, I guess.

The TAMU QB we will see is Nick Scarface. He got the early nod and was benched.

Starkel got injured against UCLA and was finally ready the day of the MSU game. Sumlin announced Kellen Mond will start against us. Banged up against the Bullpuppies but should be ready to go Saturday. Got to put some AU heat on the true freshman.

Mond played better than anyone could have predicted v. the Turds. I expect he will be in Montegna form against us.

It's possible, but I like our chances against a true frosh even this late in his first season. Our D-line is pretty active and should keep him uncomfortable. As long as we keep containment out wide, I think our defense can keep the A&M offense mostly bottled up.

#3 is going to be a problem on special teams. I hope those guys are up to the task.

Stocky will look like Tom Brady against this secondary. It will take their defense exactly 2 series to figure out our offensive game plan. Combine those two with our wonderful kick coverage and I see a 20 point loss for the storm troopers.

In fairness, our secondary has been missing Matthews and JDavis pretty badly. With their (presumed) return this weekend, they should be back to their early season form.

Here's the thing. I have no doubt in my mind that the only team with more overall talent in this league than us is Bama. Simply because I'm a firm believer that while mowr starz are not an indicator of success for an individual player at the next level, compiling mowr starz players does....or should. Auburn can put a 4 or 5 star guy at every single position on the field, both sides of the ball, and usually bring in no less than a 4 star as a back up.

So when you have that much talent, it simply comes down to development and coaching. It comes down to the staff. I'm 100% certain we have more talent than A&M. I'm also 100% certain we've had more talent than everyone we've played with maybe the exception of Clemson. I'd say equal across the board. But who knows what's going to happen Saturday. We could blow their doors in by 30. Or the more likely scenario is that we kick 3 field goals.

The stretch run is on. There's an ass load to play for. You win out and who knows? It would mean beating #1 and #2. But there's the problem. Gus knows how important every game is starting Saturday. Does anyone here honestly believe he's going to let his OC handle the offense? I have zero faith in that happening. You may as well grab a box of handcuffs and pass them out to the offensive players and tell them to put em' on.

I'm sorry. I'll be right there pulling for them every single play. But I've lost all confidence in Gus Malpractice staying the hell out of the way.

Tee time at 11:20am Sat. This season Gus drained what hope I had for any kind of fun in Auburn football this year. There is a difference in getting beat by better teams and getting beat by your own head coach.

What I have noticed, and so have all of you, is that Gus is running the same plays as if he was still doing the HUNH. Problem with that is that we aren't snapping the ball as soon as it's set. We wait, clap, look over to sidelines, clap again and run it up the middle into the awaiting arms of the opposing players.

You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. Sometimes we go on the first clap.
