Title: Where we are....
Post by: Kaos on September 05, 2013, 12:06:28 PM
Arkansas State is chirping about dominating Auburn. 

Arkansas State. 

Got nothing to lose.  Gonna be fired up.  AU is about the same as Arkansas Pine Bluff.  APB would have whipped Washington State, no doubt.   This is the same Arkansas Pine Bluff that lost to Alabama A&M and Tennessee State a year ago. 

Yeah, the same Alabama A&M that the worst team in AU football history destroyed 51-7. 

ASU would be a 40-point underdog to SC, LSU, UAT, A&M, UGA....  But they're confident they won't just win, but will dominate us.

They'll never know what hit 'em.

They may be right.  Depending on how bad our middle linebackers play, it could be a long game.

I don't think they'll have enough speed and size to stop our offense, but it very well may be a shootout.  I have zero faith that we will stop their run game especially between the tackles.

The reality of this is that I think Jake would be a quality player at a place like ASU.  He'd be a borderline star. 

Years ago we had a kid playing for us who couldn't crack the top three of the depth chart at LB.  We were a 1A school.  He wasn't strong enough, wasn't fast enough, couldn't react quickly enough.  Tough kid, knew the assignments but just couldn't get where he was supposed to be. And the few times he could get there, he was overmatched. Way too slow for the defensive backfield, too small for the line.    Tried all spring to work with him in hopes he could play LB.  He just couldn't do it. 

Transferred to the private school over the summer.  AISA AA ball.  Starting linebacker. Dominated.  Made the AISA All State team as a junior and a senior.  Was the same slow, weak kid, but was in a league filled with slower, weaker ones.

That's Jake.  At ASU, Rice, BC, Tulane.... he could hold his own.  Just not in the SEC.

I'm not buying it.  Until proven otherwise they're still Arkansas State.  The same Arkansas State that would have lost to every team AU lost to last season and some of the ones we beat.

Jake is a diversion, a lure viewed as easy pickings. Spider-fly! I've got this all figured out.  :blink: They start popping us with the short stuff and we end up with another defensive player of the week. It's as simple as that.

Last season's post game MSU comments should be enough motivation.

All indications are this team will come right at you.  I doubt there will 17% or 2/8ths the assignments there were for WSU.  Jake does not need to play.  McKinzy and Frost should get 95% or 11/14ths of all the snaps.

From what I can gather from Ellis and his pressers, Frost will be starting this week.

As far as the game this weekend, I agree with GF, I'm thinking we will win this game by 21 points or more. I honestly believe we will see Marshall come lighting things up.

I actually think we may go into halftime with a 2 or 3 score lead, but I fear that we may let off the gas a little in the second half and let Auburn come back to make it a close one.

 :facepalm:

And they very well may put it on us but their confidence in doing it is bewildering.

They're basing it on the beating they put on Arkansas Pine Bluff.  Figuring they're at best no worse than Washington State (and I submit WSU would beat them straight up with ease) and figuring we're about the same level as Pine Bluff.  Pine Bluff isn't up to Alabama A&M standards and as previously noted, the worst Auburn team in 50+ years, with Clunk Moseley calling the shots, massacred A&M. 

I may be way, way wrong but I see this as along the same lines as New Mexico State.

If we struggle -- at all -- it's going to be a long year.

I'm sick to death of hearing "They were 9-3 last year, we were 3-9." 

Flip the freaking schedules.  The worst Auburn team in my lifetime wins 10 games or more.  One of the best Arkansas Technical School teams in the school's history goes 2-10.   

Last year's magical Gus-led Arkansas State team LOST to Western Kentucky at home.

As bad as Auburn was last year is there any possible scenario where you can see that team losing to Western freaking Kentucky at JHS? 

You know I'm one of the most cautious, worried people in the world.   I don't think we'll slap 70 on them or hold them scoreless, but if this thing isn't on cruise control by the third quarter I'll be surprised.  And pissed.

Pffffttttttt.

Hope they enjoy shutting up now.  Punks. Went about like I thought it would.  Despite the hoorah by the announcers, it was clear to me early on that ASU wasn't in the same league and wouldn't be a legitimate threat.  When a team is down 21-6, you, as an announcer, shouldn't be tooting the "come in to Jordan Hare and pull off the upset" horn like those two clowns were. 

We still haven't gotten the bugs worked out or it could have been 60-9. 

BTW, for the second week in a row we had the worst announcers in the history of football.  Tim Couch is a complete tool.  The guy with the vampire hair was just an idiot. 

Be glad when we get good enough again to get the real announcers.   These yipping dogs make me yearn for Ace and Gary.
