SO, Chizik Critics....

[The Prowler]

Damn nice take considering the source.   :thumbsup:

All last week had to listen bammers, and some media talking about how we'd lose this game, or at least not cover the spread.  All from the same "y'all were bad last year and nothing's changed at Auburn" dumbass perspective.  Things have changed.  It was just one game though, but last year we'd have floundered around, dicked off, cried, and gotten worse as the game wore on.  They played through adversity, and some bad calls made the penalty stats look worse than they should have.  Turnovers won't do.   

Todd completed 65% of his passes, threw a couple of very nice balls, and in general looked as I predicted...servicable.  He'll only get better.  How much remains to be seen...the OL helped him, and the running game a lot.  Can they hold up against better SEC teams?  The running game?  Two 100 yard rushers...I don't care who it was...that's pretty good when you note we had 250 passing too.  Even against such an opponent, 500 yards of total offense has been a long time coming at Auburn. 

The bottom line...unlike last year, we handled lesser competition the way lesser competition should have been handled...the backups got some playing time at the end...and we covered by double digits.  The atttitude was far different this year.   If they improve like a team should, and stay healthy, this team will do better than 6 wins and the Weed Eater bowl.  A couple of breaks and who knows?


Right now, I'm ok with what I saw in a season opener for the most part.

^^^Bingo^^^

I'll add that I saw more energy on the sidelines, in the first game, than I saw ALL year last year.  And I'm not just talking about Coach Chizik chewing on the refs ear after that Garbage PI call.  I'm talking about Coach Malzahn getting into the Defensive Huddle, during timeouts.  I'm talking about Coach Troop back bumpin' the Defensive players comin' off the field.  I'm talkin' about Coach Malzahn getting up in Chris Todd's grill...not to curse him, but to ask him what he saw, what the coverage was...basically testing him, to see if he was making the right type of reads.  Also, the Halftime adjustments was nice to see again.  Todd under center for a few plays, was nice to see, especially the change of pace quick snap, while the Defense was suckin' wind.

Slow your roll, Chopper.

It was one game. A good win - yes, but it was one game.

I think Mississippi State is going to give us some trouble.

But it was a good way to start the year.

Slow my roll??  I just asked for the opinion of people that were uber critical of Chizik.  It wasn't a chest bump, or post to flame.  I even AGREED with Kaos's assessment.  Slow YOUR roll and pay fucking attention.

I'm too broke to pay attention.

All you can do is shake your head boar.....

That Smith & Wollensky shit is awesome!  Highly recommend!!!!

I have chops in the oven now.

I'll have to try some of that sauce. Looks tasty.

Pics?

Should have.  It WAS beautiful!   

Figured I'd eat something good tonight before I get back on the road in the morning and eat crap basically the rest of the week.

Fuck your Man vs. Food 17 oz. challenges.  A 10 oz. filet dusted with the finest of powdered marinade from "The Cellar" in Dothan.  Well, a Winn Dixie filet (The Cellar was closed) but dusted up right.

New potatoes cut up and sprinkled with garlic powder, onions, butter and swiss cheese, wrapped up tight and put in a grilling basket on the Weber for 35-40 minutes.  Just cleaned up the kitcken, mixed up a fresh Knob Creek and Coke and here I am....conversing with you reprobates. 

Damn, you guys are buzz killers.

I got all you faggots beat.  1 packet of chicken flavored Ramen Noodles and 2 grilled cheese with a Dr. Pepper.  Beat that....you can't, so don't even try.  I'm livin' high on the Hog.

Yeah, it's layin' on da table, somewhere.  I just don't wanna spread my secret recepies, so I think I'm going to pass.  Don't get me started on my Mac and Cheese with Grape Kool-aid to wash it down with.

Did you really scarf down a 17 oz.er..?

What sides?  That's a beefy butt steak.

Yes.  I did.  I had some steamed veggies on the side (broccolli, rice...)  It was fantastic.

In an ironic twist, I've got some of those Healthy Choice nuke and eat dinners in my bag for this week.

His colon weeps.

The steak will cleanse.

[Snaggletiger]

Son, you are spot on.  Nothing like 15 pounds of undigested red meat to properly cleanse the colon.  It's my motto.
