LSU Game

[War Eagle!!!]

1) Special teams lost that game

2) The reason i said that I would not ike the spread, is that teams would not be able to run our the clock with uner 5:00 left... that proved devistating tongiht...

[Come Honor Face]

yup, i really don't know what to say right now... just kinda dumbfounded at some of the play calling the 2nd half.  Looks like todds arm got sore or some shit

[Jumbo]

I see why Shoemaker's ass has been planted firmly on the bench this season, he killed us with his constant shankfoot.

[Come Honor Face]

anyone seen fannin lately? I wish for once, we could find a good OC that looked at our talent and said, we"re gonna put all of you fuckers in and let you play

[Kaos]

I loathe losing.  I despise it.  I hate it. 

That game was lost for three reasons:

1) Chris Todd displayed piss-poor decision-making skills on three second half drives.  Crumpling like a freaking turtle before anybody hit him to knock AU out of FG range, panicking like a frightened kindergardner on another drive inside the LSU 20 and throwing a pick, and curling up like a turtle before being hit on the big loss on the last so-called drive.

2) Chicken crap fear of LSU's "return game"   Scardey-cat punts and kickoffs gave a short field all night long.  Kicking game blew goats, chickens and orangutans.

3) The worst series of plays in the history of college football with the ball and just 5:00 left on the clock.  ONE freaking first down flips the script.  Instead AU runs that stupid STUPID STUPID ass stretch play that hadn't gotten a yard in three freaking games.  That was awful. Abysmal. Ignorant. 

That is all I have to say and likely all I WILL have to say for a good while.

Bullshit

I agree that Mario looked good last year. He has looed slow this year. OC had nothing to do with us getting beat. We lost on specail teams and defense tonight. I really hate that we couldn't get a first down within 5 minutes, but we also may not have scored in a other offense in the 4th quarter.

We got beat by a team that had more bounces bouce their way. Hat off to the...no pun intended.

Auburn payed a good game and I believe that we could have won the game with the way we played!

You are a negative mother fucker. You can't win every game...Auburn played a really good game. Todd played a really good game. The only play I have a big time problem with is getting sacked to make it 2nd and 25 under a minute to play. if you have nothing to say for a while...that is fine with me...

Take your sunshine and roses and shove them up your........ oh nevermind. 

I hate losing.  If you don't, well, I don't really know what to say or think about that.  Yeah.  Hating to lose is soooooooooo negative.  Wouldn't want to injiure anybody self-esteem.  Good job!

You have no idea how much I hate losing. The problem is...you are a slicik talking mother fucker sitting behind a key board. I would be willing to bet you have never played a snap of meaningful football in your life. You just want to complain when shit doesn't work out like you want...

I have played a lot of football...I have played a lot of meaningful football. Sometimes the ball bounces you way...sometimes it doesn't...it is people like you that give fans a bad name that say this and that...

The ball didn't bounce Auburn's way tonight but they played hard and they did what it took to win the game. I saw progress tonight. if you didn't...fine...that is why your ass just complains on a message board...

[Rancid Milk]

The sequence that seemed to flip the momentum their way was when we had a first down inside their 20 on our first drive of the 3rd quarter...up 14-3 and we really had a chance to step on their neck at that point.

We managed to back ourselves out of FG range, then compounded that by getting off a whopping 7-yard punt.  LSU scored shortly thereafter and it was game on.

Even a FG to make it 17-3 would have kept our momentum from the end of the first half going.

A very frustrating loss...hopefully they won't let it turn into two.  Tennessee is struggling mightily right now, but we've shown an ability to play to our level of competition.

[War Eagle!!!]

Auburn gave up 400 yards to LSU on defense. Auburn gained 320. Auburn dropped a lot of passes too...don't blme this loss on the offense or on Franklin...If you do, it is bullshit. Auburn just lost...sometimes that happens...

[Come Honor Face]

I thought Auburn showed much improvement from the Mss. st game to this one.  All i'm saying is I watch all of these other teams on college football with "less talent' than we have and they are moving the ball, getting first downs, catching passes and such.

I'm no football player, i've never played a meaningful game.  I can tell you that no matter how hard these young men play, they aren't the ones making $200k +.

Is it so hard for me, as a fan, to say "Fuck, I wish we had a guy that could come right in and utilize the tools we do have?"  Does that make me a negative nancy or just another fan of Auburn football?

I'm glad Auburn is showing improvement, but I can always want more.. thats just fucking American

No offfense, dude, but I don't care if you played for the 1984 Bears.  Don't care if your name is Favre.  Don't care if you're the illegitimate son of Vince Lombardi and gave birth to Walter Payton. Right now, you're nothing more than a fan just like everybody else on here.  You've got your opinion and you're certainly entitled to it.  So is everybody else.  

I hate losing. Period. That's not a criticism. It's a fact.  it's not negative. It's a plain and simple fact.  I was negative as hell after the first game and the MSU game. There were encouraging signs tonight, sort of, but the only significant difference was that there were fewer penalties and fumbles.

The loss of that game had nothing to do with "ball bounces." That game was lost in execution and the inabilty to do so at critical times. It was lost in conservatism to a degree. It was a game AU could have won. I won't go so far to say it was a game AU should have won, because, honestly, I thought the better team came out on top.  LSU made plays when it had to.  Far too often, AU didn't.  I thought AU was out-coached, too. but that's just my opinion.

So maybe progress was enough for you.  When you watch the team put itself in a hole for the most meaningful season goal -- winning the West -- progress is nice, but not very satisfying.  

And i still hate losing.  I'll always hate it.

Disagree to an extent.  But because it won't do either of us any good, I'll decline to elaborate.

Auburn was outcoached...but it wasn't because of Franklin. It was in the special teams...LSU getting an onside kick...NO EXCUSE. It flipped fied position and helped them keep momentum in the second half.

I don't want progress...I want to win. Sometimes I now that that no matter how uch I want it hough...sometimes it doesn't always work out. Auburn gave up 400 yards... 400 YARDS...

So which is it? What are you going to bitch about and which coach are you going to want to fire this week? Todd played a good game! He was playing against a VERY good defense...wha the fuck do you want? The shit just doesn't go your way every fucking time. LSU got pretty fortunate on a lot of plays.

I think...no shit...if Auburn and LSU play 10 times in Jorday Hare...Auburn wins at least 7 of those playing like they did tonight. Unfortunately, tonight was one of the 3. What do you do? Auburn played well...

And I am not claiming I am a better fan. You just bitch and bitch and bitch and I think it is not fair for someone to sit behind a message board that has never played a down to btich about how you should fire this person and the players suck and every damn thing else. You don't know what goes into a football game...much less a football season...

[War Eagle!!!]

Disagree...it doesn't matter. If you say something worth a sht I will listen. I am a rational dude. I just don't think you can say much that will change the fact that Auburn didn't get it done defensively or on the special teams...

[War Eagle!!!]

And I am really drunk...so I am sorry for the typos...but I mean everything I say...even if you can't read it...

[Townhallsavoy]

Just got home from a long drive from Auburn.

After finally watching Auburn in person this year, I must say, we suck. 

Take that however you want to, but it's the true.  I felt like we played a lot better tonight that we were capable of.  Some of the play calling was abysmal. Todd throws his passes on rainbows.  They take FoOOOOoORrrRRReEeeeEeVVvvveeeerrrRRRRrrr  to get to their intended receiver. 

The worst part was the game management.  5:00 minutes with 2 timeouts...that's 1/3 of a quarter and Tuberville obviously dipped his hand into the playbook and said, "Let's take this one into halftime."  Well, that shit don't work.  We got lucky that LSU was piss-poor in the 1st half because they obviously wanted to spend the final 2 minutes getting a TD. 

Also, Chris Todd throws rainbows.  I can't stress this enough.  His arm is not SEC caliber.  I don't give a rats ass whether or not he makes every decision a perfect decision - when the DBs are fast enough to cover sideline to sideline, you better have an arm that can zip it to the WRs. 

Defensively, we have don't have a great pass rush.  That's what killed us.  You can't cover receivers with a blanket all night.  You have to get to the QB.  We had some good moments, but we need more of a consistent pass rush.

[Snaggletiger]

They looked better last night.  In a close game like that, you have to have just about everything go right.  I thought special teams was the culprit in this game in more ways than just punting. (Which was awful)  Trindon Holliday put the ball on the ground a couple of times and we didn't come up with it.

Other than that, I thought Charles Scott was the difference.  He got better as the game went on and as he got stronger, their line started beating on ours.  Tough loss, hell of a game.
