Tommy Trott has lost his frickin' mind

[djsimp]

I dont really think Tommy was talking smack but what Mr. Davie Douche was showing during last Sat. game from a partial quote of Tate is a little different. Now granted they did not show everything, but the part they did show has a little poop talk flavor to it. Personally I think Tate is better than Ingram but Im biased. It dont bother me when folks talk that smack, but its when one doesnt back it up that makes him look foolish.

Exactly, not seeing the smack here at all.  He's saying there's some bad mofo's coming in and we'd love to knock them off.  Won't have any problem getting up for this game. 

Wow Tommy.  You really lay it on thick.

This is what I was saying too.  Sure, Auburn talking shit to Alabama this year makes no sense....but that's the point, I don't really see where Trott did that. 

Again, at what point was he disrespectful of Alabama in his comments?  You can't really "talk shit" if you don't even get in some basic insults and disrespect. 

This isn't the PGA....his comments simply don't qualify for "shit talk".

This isn't the PGA....his comments simply don't qualify for "shit talk".

It qualifies as "full of shit" talk.

He could have said, "We're roadkill and just hoping to get out of there without too many guys getting hurt."

I'm realistic enough to understand we're probably going to be double digit dogs by game time...and deservedly so.  But, I also know an upset is possible after attending the greatest game ever played...1989 Iron Bowl.  Almost the exact same circumstances with Bama coming in unscathed at #2.  Upsets happen. 

If you want to look for some positives.  You can compare some common opponents and while some don't look too dang skippy, there are a few that tell you Auburn is definitely capable of staying in this game til the end.  Auburn handled UT far better than Bama did.  Auburn also took care of Ole Miss in fine fashion and biotch slapped MSU the same way Bama did.

It's not a lot to hang on to but it tells you anything is possible.  Trott knows that if they come out firing on all cylinders and Bama makes some mistakes, Auburn has a chance.  Last year, they had none.

It qualifies as "full of poop" talk.

Being full of shit and talking shit couldn't be more different though.

Rory Sabitini can say "I'm gonna win every major this year"...that would be "full of shit".

He could also say "Tiger wishes he could drive the ball like me...he's going down this year"...that's "talking shit".

One makes someone look foolish, the other offends someone and becomes "bulletin board material".

I just don't take Trott's comments to be in the latter category.  Not even too much in the first category either.  To me, just like the wise Birdman said, Trott knows this Auburn team could pull off an upset.  (emphasis on upset).  I don't think he has to have "lost his mind" to think such a thing. 

And like others said before....what attitude would you like him to have?

"We'd love nothing more than to wreck an undefeated season, upset them when they're riding on their high horse and ranked No. 2 in the country," Trott said. "That's an exciting opportunity. That's easy to prepare for and it's going to be something special." - Tommy Trott

Uhm, please feel free to learn how to block for at least one game of your career before you talk shit to the opponents, Tommy. I realize you've made catches in TWO consecutive games now, but you need to take a lap for talking that shit.

And it's not like the Bammers needed bulletin board material.

That's hardly talking shit.  "We'd love nothing more..."  "Upset them..."  "...exciting opportunity..."  It's a statement that clearly acknowldges what the team is up against, and exactly what I'd expect a competitor to say about a game where they go in as a big underdog. 

Ben Tate?  Was/IS having a great season, especially when you consider the "gimmicky HS offense" we run, and with no blocking from the busts like Ziemba and Pugh and Trott.  It's amazing he ever ran for 100 yards total, much less averaged 100 plus per game for 10 games.  ***tounge firmly in cheek***  Then he went and opened his idiotic mouth!  Jeez Ben...IF you are the best, you don't have to tell people, they just fuckin' know it!  SHUT THE FUCK UP BEN!
