[NAHSTE]

Payback for the Spurrier days. I'll pray for Urban's heart before I go to sleep tonight.

No joke your sig really tilted me last week, LSU reminds me of OSU back in the early 2000's winning those close games on some bs. But of course a lot of people will call it something else, being a fan of a team i'll go with bullshit because they keep executing it.

I've made that comparison myself. Better lucky than good though.

LOL at "early 2002s" however.

I know it's tough to imagine why LSU would defeat MSU. It might be something to do with the better players.

But face it, Mullen is a better coach than Les Miles. Deal with it. I loved how LSU only managed to have 10 men on the field during a crucial 4th and 6 and the end of the game. More brilliant game management from Miles!

Ok. I'll deal with our coach and his paltry 79% winning percentage.

Mullen and MSU barely beat UAB in Starkville... Don't get me wrong, Mullen will be a great coach, but right now, Miles >>>> Mullen...

Honestly.. If you can explain to me what the hell was going on with Russell Shepard on that final fourth down play I'll buy right in. Les has numerous clock issues today including calling the TO and basically committing to have to go for it on that final 4th down. And then to come out and have Shepard running around out there like a chicken with no head was a total disaster.

That Tolliver drop wasn't a bad thing at all for you guys. You wound up scoring a TD on that drive anyway and the extra time it ran off the clock kept Newton and the Auburn offense off the field. Other than the first drive and the drive where the ball was fumbled, Malzahn put Auburn in position to score every time. Newton did a great job taking what the D gave him and not turning the ball over. The punter is what kept LSU in this game today. If Auburn doesn't start 4 drives inside the 10, this is probably a 20+ point win today.

I do think LSU has a ton of talent and all, I just think that between Crowton not realizing that Jarrett Lee needs to be the starter full time and Les Miles seeming to have no clock management ability at all is killing that talent.

Rumor has it that Shep struggles with the playbook. We probably called a shift or a play that had just been installed and he lined up wrong, I don't know. Inexcusable coming out of a time out.

I don't know, I was at a bar so I couldn't really tell WTF was happening. As for Lee being the full-time starter, I don't see how he's distinguished himself.

43 yards passing yesterday for Lee, meanwhile our true freshman, third string RB had 39 yards passing on one play.

The Toliver drop that killed us was the play right before the 4th down debacle. TT had the first down across the middle but the defender jarred it loose. Also there was Rueben Randle volleyball tipping an int to Auburn in the red zone in the first quarter. That negated a pretty good opening drive and once again made Jefferson look like the scapegoat when he really shouldn't have been.

Crowton must go. Absolutely. But Miles is cool with me, he can stay. Great recruiter, great motivator and a man of integrity. He's not the greatest tactician alive, but he can still get us back to the BCS championship game eventually with a quality OC in place.

How long did it take you to decipher the drunkness

Its much easier to recruit when your school has no academic requirements and is the defending national champions. And LSU was much better with Saban's recruits than with Miles' recruits. Miles won his national title with Saban's players. Credit to Miles for doing it, but its not like he's built the program. The last two years Miles' teams have looked nothing like Saban's LSU teams. I thought it was obvious that LSU had slipped in recent years...but I guess not?

Miles' recruits looked pretty good today against Saban's recruits.

:kanye:

 

[NAHSTE]

Thank you LSU for making the road to the NC easier for Malzahnia!

Yeah, that was unexpected. I thought Bama would have no trouble against LSU, but I was wrong. It did seem like LSU opened up on offense a little bit more, and allowed Jefferson more freedom in doing things. That seemed to help.

The offensive gameplan was much better, and I think the bye week gave Jefferson a chance to step back and take a breath, get some shit figured out. The coaches showed confidence in him even after the slow start (we had like 40 yards at halftime), which was huge. Normally after the first hint of adversity, the crowd is ready to boo and the coaches start jerking around with the QB rotation. This time they stayed the course and eventually got some things going. The 4th-and-1 reverse call was a thing of beauty.

The defense played as well as it has all year. Drake Nevis made McElroy's life miserable.

All we have to go it beat LOLUGA and you guys get a shot to redeem yourselves in the SEC Title game. To be honest I think LSU is going to be a much tougher match-up for Auburn than Bama.. That young secondary for Alabama is going to bite on every look that Malzahn throws at them, whereas LSU had some depth there at least when we played them.

I did see a couple of safeties and the #2 corner for LSU go down against the Tide though. I'm not up to date on my LSU injury report, is their any word on what happened to those guys?

wut?

It's a divisional set up. Auburn will play the winner of South Carolina and Florida if they beat Georgia.

If Georgia beats Auburn, we still would need Alabama to beat Auburn in order to make it to Atlanta. As for the injuries, a concussion for the corner, Morris Claiborne, he'll probably sit this week's game vs. UL Monroe. Ankle injury for the safety, Brandon Taylor, but freshman Eric Reid should be able to hold it down. We're very deep in the secondary.

Also lost Alex Hurst, starting RT. Ankle injury there as well, probably season-ending if I had to guess.

I knew glen didn't know shit :smh:

 

[NAHSTE]

We need to get SECGuy on Glen asap.

 

[NAHSTE]

That's right, that's right... Well, personally I think Auburn wipes the floor with UGA even though it is a monster trap game. And LSU exposed enough holes in Bama's D that will be easy for the Tigers to exploit. That South Carolina/Auburn game earlier in the year was pretty fun to watch... They could give us a game in a neutral site, even though I'm pretty sure an SEC Title game with Auburn and SC would be mostly Tiger faithful..

If there are holes in Bama's D, they won't be there for long. Nick Saban the defensive coach is >>>> Malzahn or any other offensive coach.

I think Auburn rolls over Georgia (their defense really is awful) despite giving up big time yardage to Aaron Murray, but loses to 'Bama in a hardfought loss.

It's illogical to think a team as good as Alabama will lose three games this season, or that a team coached by Gene Chizik will finish the season with zero losses.

Auburn will finish 12-1, SEC champions ... and still not get a title out of it because TCU and Oregon will play for the 'ship.
