Week Three Afterthoughts: Inconvenient Football Musings

[GH2001]

The real reason why we lost...the fuckin field goal snapper. He snaps it better, ball gets placed on time and spun correctly, Carlson doesn't kick the ball on the laces...FG Good Auburn wins that game.

Again...we’re up 21-10, in control and with the ball. It really shouldn’t have came down to a missed fg.

Other inconvenient football musings.

Wisconsin got beat by a bunch of 27 year old Mormons.  Michigan State got handled last weekend by the Fighting Herms.  BTW, MSU had 18 starters back off a 10 win team.  Notre Dame squeaked by the worst team in the SEC at home by 5 points.  The Men of Troy went out to Lincoln and stolt some lunch money from the Huskers.  (Why we refuse to play Troy, I'll never know.) The Florida State Semen Holes are 1-2 with the lone victory being a come back win over Samford.  Not Stanford....Samford...as in the Ham.  Syracuse fucking owned that ass yesterday.  #7 Auburn lost by 1 point on a last second field goal to the number 12 team, after getting skull fucked by the refs.

Bottom line, it's wide open.  We have a couple of games coming up where we can get our shit on a roll.  Like always, we had an early season hiccup (Fuck the refs...Fuck Georgia).  But now is when we normally get our roll on.  Boobie goes 167 against Arky.  I'm starting a new Hottie thread.  You fuckers failed to participate in the LSU thread and cost us the game.  Get your shit together, X.

Agree with all but the vandy part. 

Ark is by far the worst team in the league. It’s not even close.

You made the effort to argue Arkansas is worse than Vandy.  You really need to get out more.  There's a great big world out there.

Oh okay, a fairytale ending. Now I get it.
We overcome our coaching, blocking and coverage inadequacies (just like last season) only this time we go on to conquer college football. I like it.
You need therapy.

So, we beat the #6 team in the nation and then lose to the #12 team in the nation by 1 point on a last second field goal, after getting dry ass fucked by the refs.  We're #9 in the AP.  We have Arky and Southern Miss coming up and YOU think I need therapy.  BTW, if you think any of those pass interference calls were legit, you need to seek help as soon as possible.

So we were robbed, not outcoached and outplayed? That's what you took from Saturday's shitfest?

[Snaggletiger]

Yep, 100%.  If you had had the balls to show up in JHS, you would have found that 70,000 Auburn fans agreed with me. When two teams are equal in talent, it comes down to coaching and/or calls.  The refs were so fucking bad Saturday, that it literally turned the game around.  You seriously watched any replay of the "pass interference" calls and blame our coaching staff?  Really?

LSU wasn't #12 for no reason.  We joked and made excuses for them being there.  But that was a fucking message board.  They are right there man for man as talented as we are.  Do you even pretend to look at recruiting rankings/services?  That team is every bit as talented as we are. Despite our shortcomings, we did what it took to win that game yesterday and had it yanked out from under us. 

I choose to believe we will get it rolling, starting with this weekend.  You continue to take drugs and grill hot dogs.

[jmar]

I don't use the refs as an excuse.
They miss calls, sometimes badly but I always know there were other instances prior to that call or afterwards where my team failed.
And unless it's a bang-bang call at the very end I rarely get excited.

[Snaggletiger]

So....what about the blatantly missed PI call (2) on the last drive that put them in winning FG range....sits outside the realm of "Bang-Bang" for you? You didn't think the fact that the refs completely blew that call to give LSU the game was important?  Must have been our coaching staff shitfest that caused the ref to throw that flag when Jamel Dean made one hell of a play with the game on the line. 

Got it!

BTW, go back and check the video I posted and then tell me how we fucked up.

Agree. It was definitely a bad call by a ref that couldn't see Dean's hands. Assumed what he could not see.

I know we are seriously challenged up front and that Yaw Yaw,  Emnsfinger and Burrows worked their plan to a tee.
LSU also knows Steele's tendencies, they block well and we couldn't pressure them.

(Why we refuse to play Troy, I'll never know.) 

I know, but I'm gonna keep it down home cuz.

It's the CFP/Saban effect, honestly.  

What you're talking about is one of the reasons I used to love college football.  Anybody could win.  That was the reality.  You could have a Georgia Tech or BYU or Colorado come out of nowhere and win the national championship.  One loss wasn't a disqualifier.  

Now?  You start the season with five or six teams that have any chance whatsoever of making it.  The rest?  You're excluded no matter what you do.  Yeah, we're one of those five or six but the margin of error is now reduced to nothing.  

It's changed the way I look at and feel about all of it.  I don't like it.

I had an LSU fan show me photos of all of them and explain how each was legit, there should have been more calls but the refs were trying to give us the game, and that we fumbled on the second drive (true probably, but we recovered it so whatever). 

[The Six]

If Jay Jacobs had just let Kirby Smart coach in the damn championship game, we wouldn't be dealing with this shit now. 

If Turner Gill had been the hire in 2008, we wouldn't either. 

Fuck. Fuckity fuck fuck fuck!

Including their beloved Greedy Williams getting away with rape on our wideouts?

You said rape twice

I like rape.

And to make it even worse.....side note, the dummy that made this 

[jmar]

Think this is when one of us is supposed to say there's nothing left to do but...





Anybody game?

[bgreene]

Look, I agree with Snagg.  The ref's were TERRIBLE!!! It seemed like everything we did was getting reviewed or called short so on and so on.  But the biggest reason we lost that game was a few things. 

1. Stidham refused to look off the safety.  Several times receivers run up the field with db 5 yards behind. He chooses to throw to the not so open guy.

2. Both O-line and D-line sucked

3. We came out flat and couldn't catch a damn pass in the first quarter.  (also back to Stidham making terrible reads).

4. LSU came out and exsposed our straight up weakness of pass defense. (the worst part of our entire team).

5. Legatron 2.0 needs to get his head out of his ass!!!  He comes off as if he's earned his legacy already.  His brother looked like he was out there trying to keep  from loosing his job on every kick.

Bottom line, yes the ref's were awful but if we make the plays we are supposed to make, we win.
