Mass-hole Game Thread

[BrunswickDawg]

Well, guess the MVB broken hand rumor is wrong...

[Dawgology]

So with the SEC commish sending out the letter WE can’t fake injuries but out OOC opponents can I guess?

[magrooder]

They CAN, but will they NEED to?

[RockyDog]

We losing this game too. Just no give a crap on defense. We know the excuses for the DL but where the hell are our linebackers. They don’t give much resistance in the run game either

[DawgFromOxford]

I see our d line is getting pushed around by UMASS to start

[R2Dawg]

1-11 here we come. Wow

[magrooder]

Good thing we caught EKU early in the season or it could be worse.

[R2Dawg]

They get hammered by an OL due to DL.

[Dawgology]

This isn’t the worst team in my lifetime. This may be the worst MSU football team in the history of the program. Failure by our coaches, players, boosters, etc. Will be interesting to see what happens in the offseason. Will definitely have some thoughts to add in December but I forsee a big downturn in donations inbound.

[RockyDog]

As I type it, 40 and 7 are on the other side of the field as their RB darts up the gut for 19

[ZedFedder]

I don?t think we lose today. But this defense though. Sheesh.

[Ranchdawg]

It appears that Umass has better d-line and o-line because they currently having their way. Very very sad!

[R2Dawg]

Being an offensive team starting 3 and out is how you lose

[R2Dawg]

Lebby gotta get 3 years but this team appears to have quit.

[phatdog]

UMASS gonna beat our ass

[Dawgology]

It appears that Umass has better d-line and o-line because they currently having their way. Very very sad!

Agreed. There is going to have to be a big change in the University as a whole. President, AD, and we need to restructure what boosters have pull in the program. This is a disgrace for all of them.

[StarkVegasSteve]

We will have to score 50 today to win

[phatdog]

if we go 3 and out I am turning this shit off

[RockyDog]

It’s time. Just cut bait on the last 2 years and start over AGAIN.

Go get a standing HC from SOMEWHERE that has some fire, wants an opportunity, and knows what he’s doing.

[R2Dawg]

Little effort by the D. Let a grad assistant coach D, Hut has to go maybe by halftime.

[R2Dawg]

It’s time. Just cut bait on the last 2 years and start over AGAIN.

Nobody comes here knowing they have to win in year 1; we got Lebby years. Lets see what Lebby does in recruiting

[JimBobDawg]

Not a good sign and then add them driving it down our throats= not good.

[RockyDog]

NOBODY is blocking 7 and 40. They are just HORRIBLE linebackers. Shit they are both running backward on the snap

[civildawg]

Seriously, fire everyone from the top down. Keenum, selmon, and lebby

[RockyDog]

Van Sucken is getting abused by a 2-6 group of 5 team

[MBDawg601]

We are the worst team in p5 and possibly g5.

[msstate7]

Thank God basketball starts Monday. I'm done with this team for this season anyway

[Ranchdawg]

My god be a man and stand up and block somebody! Gheesh!

[Bothrops]

Soiliuman Kpak is our best dline player. Let it sink in slowly.

[mparkerfd20]

Fire the hole ****ing staff, AD, President and Janitor. This is bullshit.

[Activated Alpha]

Seriously, fire everyone from the top down. Keenum, selmon, and lebby

Yeah I agree. The board needs to step in and fire Keenum. Blow the doors off because this has to be the absolute worst team in the history of our program. Hell I think if the spirits of the buried indians under the stadium were raised they would provide a better fight than our defense.

[Quaoarsking]

Nobody comes here knowing they have to win in year 1; we got Lebby years. Lets see what Lebby does in recruiting

Most coaches think they're the best and can win regardless of whether the last guy didn't. We don't want to hire someone who doesn't anyway.

[Dawgology]

We are having a party at the house today and watching the tragedy unfold. There are 7 families here (including ours) that donate to athletic initiatives at MSU. Real serious conversations happening amongst us right now. We are spending December in Colorado so I’ll have time to ruminate on this more after the season is over and I’ll share my thoughts at that point because I don’t like making big decisions before I see the entire picture.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Thank god Tillman batted that. Saved a TD

[Bothrops]

I really wish announcers would quit propping our noncon opponents by calling us an SEC team.

[NCDawg]

Seriously, fire everyone from the top down. Keenum, selmon, and lebby

I agree. The first person mentioned is the primary cause of our problems.

[civildawg]

Is the IHL the authority to give Keenum the boot or is it someone else?

[RockyDog]

First down!!!! Showtime

[DownwardDawg]

Umass is dominating the LOS. We suck so bad.

[RockyDog]

I would have loved to see what the long term plan was for Leach and Arnept to compete in the SEC with no talent at OL or DL. Seems like a wise plan

I’m at home watching this crap. Gave my tickets to family which are there. I would not waste the money, time and effort to go to the Mizzoo game but granddaughter will be recognized during the game for being a senior co-ed cheerleader.

Wife and I are in serious discussions about what we are going to do about next years Bulldog club and tickets.

[Bothrops]

I doubt we can recruit our way back to bowl eligibility. Next year is going to such just as bad.

[magrooder]

There goes the shut out!

[FISHDAWG]

Bout time .... I'm one more bad loss from becoming a Vandy sidewalk fan

[Matt3467]

UMASS HC is a really good defensive mind but still didn't expect to see our QB running for his life vs the university of Massachusetts.

Well combined the 7 State families here donate about $250k across athletic and academic initiatives. Based on conversation I can see the athletic side of that being redirected to academics this offseason…which is apparently struggling as well unbeknownst to me.

[magrooder]

INT #3

[Turfdawg67]

Van Sucken is getting abused by a 2-6 group of 5 team

At least your Rebels won, troll

[Bothrops]

They were questioning the catch? Lol

[RockyDog]

Coaches try to act like they are smarter than everybody else. uMass coach is dumb. No reason to put the ball in the air. We can’t stop the run and they have the lead. They could have run another 3-4 minutes off the clock and at best we have one more possession in the half.

[RockyDog]

At least your Rebels won, troll

Not a Rebel. But you were saying? That throw was DUMB

[civildawg]

UMaSs is ramming it down our throats, why throw the ball?

[Ranchdawg]

Nice play call for the touchdown!

[Matt3467]

We were gifted a td that drive.

[Bothrops]

Can we say the Van Buren is good at least?

[Matt3467]

Their QB runs over our MLB Blanton. Goodness.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Can we say the Van Buren is good at least?

Van Buren is good and has the ability to be great.

[RockyDog]

Give Hutz a raise!!!

[RockyDog]

Can we say the Van Buren is good at least?

No question he?s good. But he hasn?t shown enough to say hand him the reins for 4 years like some of our geniuses said after game 1. We still need competition

[EdwardDrayton]

Well the first half was pretty much everything we thought this game could be. That it was hard to see us losing but getting to the win may not be all that comfortable. And with that flicker of we could lose if we really 17 this up.

[RockyDog]

This staff is reenergized! Winning is contagious in Starkvegas!!!

[RockyDog]

And Akari drops a TD

[mparkerfd20]

Van Buren has zero, absolutely zero pocket presence. Zero

[mparkerfd20]

Zero

[EdwardDrayton]

Sometimes Lebby's playcalling is truly head scratching.

[mparkerfd20]

Still zero

[DownwardDawg]

Wtf was that???? No throw towards the end zone there???

[civildawg]

According to a barstool video, we had a recruit decommit in the stands when we went down 10-0.

[EdwardDrayton]

Wtf was that???? No throw towards the end zone there???

Not the first time Lebby's had me cussing under my breath.

[DownwardDawg]

Not the first time Lebby's had me cussing under my breath.

That's Croom shit right there.

[civildawg]

I'm just not a believer in Lebby like some of this board is.

[DownwardDawg]

I'm just not a believer in Lebby like some of this board is.

Some of us posted our reservations about hiring Lebby but we were told over and over how wrong we were. I guess we'll see in a few years just how wrong we were. Lol
I wanted a sitting HC. We had a couple of good options. But we have weak leadership.

Hopefully Lebby can win 4 or 5 next year and not get embarrassed. Maybe we go bowling again in a few years.

[magrooder]

I'm just not a believer in Lebby like some of this board is.

Lebby has potential, but he screwed the pooch on his hutz hire. If he doesn't take care of it, then he'll be no better than the Croom and mccorvey hire.

[EdwardDrayton]

I'm just not a believer in Lebby like some of this board is.

I'm in a wait and see mode. Willing to give him time to show what he can do.

[RockyDog]

Showtime!!! That is what was supposed to happen against a 3-8 defense but King Leach knew more than everybody else

[StarkVegasSteve]

Good to see our backs finally have learned to hit the hole. Booth and Daniels have looked really good the last few games. Adding Davis to that room next year will give us a hell of an RB room.

[DownwardDawg]

I'm glad to see we are still trying. Playing much better.

[Ranchdawg]

Have to have the horses to win the race. I am holding my judgement of Lebby until I can see if he can get the horses. So far his on the field coaching is C+.

[R2Dawg]

I'm baffled by the start and now the turnaround. Glad and all but what game prep did we do heading into the game? Where was the team's heads at?

[magrooder]

We're letting Umass eat up the clock on the ground. Let's see how that strategy works out.

[EdwardDrayton]

I'm baffled by the start and now the turnaround. Glad and all but what game prep did we do heading into the game? Where was the team's heads at?

The UMass defensive strategy to start the game was solid. Had us confused.

[RockyDog]

That’s why Burnside doesn’t see the field

[EdwardDrayton]

Burnside with alligator arms. Gotta be tougher than that.

[magrooder]

Booth looked good on that run. Good cut back and acceleration

[DownwardDawg]

Have to have the horses to win the race. I am holding my judgement of Lebby until I can see if he can get the horses. So far his on the field coaching is C+.

C+ is very generous of you!!!

[Ranchdawg]

C+ is very generous of you!!!

I did not wanna be a Debbie downer since we are winning

[RockyDog]

I'm just not a believer in Lebby like some of this board is.

You have to give him some credit. He tried to run his breakneck speed offense with an experienced but injury prone Qb and a shitty OL. Now he’s slowed it down some, done pretty dang good job with the running game given the talent he’s working with, and still putting points on the board in the SEC. The naysayers will tell you it’s all in garbage time but that’s just not true.

But imagine what could have happened if Leach hadn’t ignored the running game. Lebby knows that this is the SEC and it can’t be done.

Unlike Goat believes, you can still “run da bawl” AND be a passing offense. It IS allowed in 2024 college football!!!

[Activated Alpha]

Glad I was wrong and we didn't let UMASS embarrass the entire game instead of just the 1st quartter.

[RockyDog]

Stinka just doesn’t go and get the ball. Gotta move him to D. Van Buren tried to feed him and he just refused to catch it

[Coursesuper]

Stinka just doesn’t go and get the ball

Should be a safety, is a next level talent there.

[RockyDog]

SHOWTIME!!!! SUCK THAT DOUBTERS

[Turfdawg67]

SHOWTIME!!!! SUCK THAT DOUBTERS

You called our quarterback van suckin, you Rebel troll. Ban this guy already

Wahhhhhh ban someone when I can’t take the rose colored glasses off and agree. Waahhhhh. Suck it 17 a$$hole.

That didn't even make sense. You're either a troll or your 10 years old.

[parabrave]

Meeting between Lebby and the Coordinators during the 1st QTR break must of gone something like this"

https://youtu.be/PerFdIrDBBQ?t=50

Plus when 66 replaced 51 at tackle made the line so much better.

[Bothrops]

Enjoy it. We'll be lucky to give up less than 60 next week.

[Todd4State]

Well this game turned out to be not memorable and that's a good thing.

[DownwardDawg]

He's a troll. And it's obvious to everyone except the moderators.

[DownwardDawg]

Very good point.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I thought we did a lot of good things after the crap start. Getting Van Buren involved a bit in the run game, especially down in the red zone, was a nice development.

[Cooterpoot]

Minutemen shot their wad early like minutemen do

[ScoobaDawg]

That didn't even make sense. You're either a troll or your 10 years old.

Pm send...I'm done with this cr@p

You should be done with HIS cr@p. You can threaten me in a PM, but I'm not the only one calling him a OM troll. Say it in front of everyone.

And he calls our baseball program a "club sport" or something like that. Oh well, I'll heed to Scooba's warning and just be resigned to refer to him as a bad bulldog instead of a rebel.

[DownwardDawg]

That's fine . But calling anyone you don't like a rebel is stupid.
And he hasn't done anything ban worthy so no ..a couple of people asking for him to be banned isn't going to make it happen .

[Really Clark?]

I think many just remember in the past when there were red flags with a poster, being called out by other posters...this site would take a look at that poster / enforcer got involved and posters were removed. Even when they were not posting things completely ban worthy, just here to stir trouble, false rumors, degrade players, coaches, etc
