[preachermatt83]

is that referee the backjudge that Bear ran over last week?

[blacklistedbully]

Attaboy, Nickey!

[CadaverDawg]

Damn, Nick James...that was impressive son

[preachermatt83]

man JROB got hit hard right there.

[CadaverDawg]

Two rushers over 100 yards today. One bright spot in a shitty performance

[MetEdDawg]

2 big changes for me that I think will come from this game:

1) Damien will play less
2) 2nd team defense will either play less or not be fully subbed in as much

These two reasons are the only things preventing us from winning this game by 40 points.

[CadaverDawg]

Ugly

[preachermatt83]

taveze "suplex" calhoun

[preachermatt83]

He has got a career in wrestling after his football days are done

[SDDawg]

taveze "suplex" calhoun

He has got that move down. Glad he hasn't picked up too many penalty flags doing it...

[MarketingBully01]

I just want one more TD to double their score 54-27. I would be okay with that after how we played.

[blacklistedbully]

Nice open-field tackle by Calhoun. Glad he wasn't seriously injured earlier.

[PMDawg]

Dan's crap 4th and 1 call extended this game, yet again. Couldve been over 2.5 hours ago.

[preachermatt83]

that napa commercial was pretty funny.

[blacklistedbully]

47 quit on that play.

[rcsteph1]

wow Nelson 5 catches for 145 yds

[preachermatt83]

nelson is a very good football player.

[CadaverDawg]

Damn it. Cox pulled a hammy

[SDDawg]

UAB has a QB and some great athletes. They'll be in a bowl game this year, could compete for their conference. No excuses, but they're a pretty damned good CUSA team.

[CadaverDawg]

If Dan takes care of business early, Cox isn't even in there right now. His dumbass trying to protect us, has hurt us in every way today

[preachermatt83]

man I really hope that's just a cramp for cox

[msstate7]

Great. By screwing around all game we've got cox still in game and now hurt

[MetEdDawg]

Uh oh. That doesn't look like a cramp on Cox. If that's a pull he's gonna be down for a while. That looks bad.

[msstate7]

If Dan takes care of business early, Cox isn't even in there right now. His dumbass trying to protect us, has hurt us in every way today

Yep

[blacklistedbully]

Shit! Cox down. Not again!

[MarketingBully01]

Didn't look like he extended or anything probably just a cramp.

[CadaverDawg]

Dan gets a Big F'ing "F" on his report card today. Maybe an F+ since we won

[mparkerfd20]

That's all on Dan for being stupid early. I have a love hate, mostly hate, relationship with our coaching.

[CadaverDawg]

That's all on Dan for being stupid early. I have a love hate, mostly hate, relationship with our coaching.

I'm with you

[MarketingBully01]

Uh oh. That doesn't look like a cramp on Cox. If that's a pull he's gonna be down for a while. That looks bad.

Could be a precaution on Cox's part. It could be a cramp. Nothing happened on the play out of the ordinary.

[msstate7]

Holloway. Awesome

[preachermatt83]

SMH

[CadaverDawg]

So right now we could be wearing them down with Shumpert, but we've got Holloway between the tackles?

[ScoobaDawg]

So right now we could be wearing them down with Shumpert, but we've got Holloway between the tackles?

gotta be classy and make sure no way we score again...

[msstate7]

So right now we could be wearing them down with Shumpert, but we've got Holloway between the tackles?

LP part 2. Watch out lsu!

[CadaverDawg]

Holloway up the middle again. What the **** goes through our coach's head? Is there a hamster on a wheel up there?

[blacklistedbully]

Could be a precaution on Cox's part. It could be a cramp. Nothing happened on the play out of the ordinary.

Didn't look like a cramp. If he was cramping on the back of his leg, he wouldn't be keeping that knee bent, he would've been trying like hell to keep that leg straight.

[mparkerfd20]

UAB is well coached. They'll win a lot more games this year.

[CadaverDawg]

Didn't look like a cramp. If he was cramping on the back of his leg, he wouldn't be keeping that knee bent, he would've been trying like hell to keep that leg straight.

Yea, marketing is trying to be optimistic, but that looked like a pull or even a tear. Thanks, Eddie

[MarketingBully01]

Didn't look like a cramp. If he was cramping on the back of his leg, he wouldn't be keeping that knee bent, he would've been trying like hell to keep that leg straight.

All I saw is nothing out of the ordinary happened on that play to hyper extend or pull his hammy. I am not thinking it is too bad but we will see.

[preachermatt83]

well we dropped a big ole turd today and still won by 3 td's... take away 3 big plays and the whole game feels diff.

[MetEdDawg]

Guys quit playing what if. What if instead of Damien playing the 2nd drive Dak played and broke his foot? I mean shit guys who knows what would have happened? Quit clouding your judgment with what might have happened. Blaming Mullen for Cox getting hurt is beyond absurd. Just walk away. We didn't play as well as we wanted, Mullen made a few questionable decisions. But don't sit here and blame Mullen for Cox getting hurt or stupid stuff like that. Hell if we are gonna blame someone blame Collins for the 2nd team full substituting. They gave up 17 of our 27 points.

Some of you are so quick to blame Mullen but in reality our defense sucked today. We scored 40 points on offense and put up over 500 yards with 4 passing TDs and 1 rushing TD from Dak. But we blame Mullen for the whole thing? How about the defense giving up 473 yards? Blame the right people if you are going to do that. This whole bash Mullen thing for everything including hypotheticals is old.

As we give up another TD.

If you can't see blame on Mullen today, that's not our problem. But, it's also a game thread, and that's how these work. Everybody will cool off and move on...but this was a poorly coached game

[blacklistedbully]

Holloway up the middle again. What the **** goes through our coach's head? Is there a hamster on a wheel up there?

That shit last year with LP was what finally got me ready to fire Dan. As soon as I learned we'd moved BH to RB, I posted here my real concern Dan would do exactly this kind of thing.

Dan blows my mind. Some things he does so very well, and he is such a huge part of our recent turnaround. But he will do some of the stupidest shit I have ever seen a coach do.

[preachermatt83]

this defense has no pride

[mparkerfd20]

We won't win more than 8 games boys. Pass D is Ron Cooperish

[MarketingBully01]

Classy Bill Clark. Padding the stats while we just run it and make a shitty score worse.

[BulldogBear]

I am so embarrassed about our DBS today. Y'all understand we would've lost to an SEC team by 4-5 TDs today.

[msstate7]

Collins being exposed. Hit em deep

[defiantdog]

How do we keep letting them get behind us.... Pathetic

[MarketingBully01]

I bet he tries for an onside kick here too...

[ScoobaDawg]

Classy Bill Clark. Padding the stats while we just run it and make a shitty score worse.

We gave it to him...why shouldn't he take it. that was a joke job by the defense.

dumb post of the day

[blacklistedbully]

You spoke too soon.

[Statecoachingblows**]

Going to wind up being a long year. Need to have some umph not just show up and expect to win. This shit is ridiculous

[CadaverDawg]

Our hype and "potential to compete in the West" is gone after this, gentlemen. THIS is why we all need to STFU about lack of respect in the media, OM media bias, etc. Until we quit doing shit like today....we need to shut it.

[msstate7]

Classy Bill Clark. Padding the stats while we just run it and make a shitty score worse.

They're playing to win. That's on us

[MetEdDawg]

But how is our corners getting beat deep 4 different times Mullen's fault?? We give up 550 yards of offense and of course we blame Mullen. I mean some of yall can't help yourselves. Never said Mullen didn't have any blame. But saying Mullen directly led to Cox getting hurt is beyond nuts. And not placing some blame on our lack of adjustments on defense should be placed squarely on Collins shoulders.

[ScoobaDawg]

I bet he tries for an onside kick here too...

and ya damn right he did.. because we dont have a killer mentality. the game isnt over even if almost guaranteed

[preachermatt83]

Don't blame Bill Clark.. I'd be doing the same thing.. he's got nuts. Dan Doesn't.

[MarketingBully01]

We need to bring ****ing Dak back on the field and put another TD on them.

[CadaverDawg]

Gave up over 500 yards today? Is that right?

[Bothrops]

Who do we beat going forward, except Martin, USA, and Vandy? Arkansas?

Dude, wake up. Nobody is blaming the defense on Mullen....except our defensive starters being hurt because they shouldn't still be on the ****ing field. Quit trying so hard to defend a horrid coaching job

[preachermatt83]

crap performance today fellas

[MarketingBully01]

Don't blame Bill Clark.. I'd be doing the same thing.. he's got nuts. Dan Doesn't.

Oh woop tie shit, they put a TD late on our 4th string with their 1st string on a bomb. That was shit. No way they come back from 20 with 1 minute left.

[blacklistedbully]

That onside kick did not go 10. Hit the back of the player who dove down in front of the kicker just before 10 yards.

[BrunswickDawg]

Gave up over 500 yards today? Is that right?

547 to our 519

[preachermatt83]

if Dan goes 6-6 or 7-5 with this team and keeps his job then I might just lose my mind completely

[MetEdDawg]

546 yards. Again, Collins deserves some heat after today. Gave up 34 points. Mullen deserves it too. Never said he didn't. But Mullen doesn't take 100% of this like some of yall think he does. Collins didn't adjust and we paid the price for it today by letting them hang around. How does a defense give up 3 75+ yard TDs and the DC not get mentioned once?

[CadaverDawg]

547 to our 519

Embarrassing and unacceptable.

[preachermatt83]

holy crap they had more yards than we did

[preachermatt83]

#psycodefense

[SDDawg]

Who do we beat going forward, except Martin, USA, and Vandy? Arkansas?

Man, STFU. This kind of post is stupid and useless. Same those strokes on the keyboard in the future.

[Bothrops]

We in trouble. Dan knows it

[mstate68]

So how many SEC teams would we have beaten today? Vandy? Maybe Kentucky?

[CadaverDawg]

Because those TD's don't mean shit if we were up 35-7 at the half like we should have been. Look, Collins had a few one on ones get beat deep today...shit happens. Collins doesn't do the same shit over and over and over like Mullen does every year. Collins will adjust next week....will Dan?

Sure Collins D wasn't perfect, but the whole swapping in and out the 2nd string QB is what got this shit show started today, and that was ON MULLEN. Even after he failed with it last week, he didn't adjust. So I'm sorry that we're all not bashing Collins for having one bad game in the last 4. He deserves so e blame....but Mullen deserves more for today's performance. If you can't see that, I'm sorry.

At least we won. Woot!

[MetEdDawg]

I"m not defending anything. Mullen deserves some heat for the inconsistencies in the 1st half. But the offense was fine in the 2nd half. The defense didn't play well. We can blame Mullen and start acting like freaking idiots and saying we will go 6-6 or 7-5 all you want. But some of you need to step back from the ledge. It's one game, it's early, and we did quite a few things today that we won't do in SEC play. Damien won't play unless Dak is hurt and the 2nd team defense will not play 10 different series.

[ScoobaDawg]

We need to bring ****ing Dak back on the field and put another TD on them.

STUPIDEST POST EVER. I want to make sure everyone sees this. you want Dan to bring dak back in and get hurt when we are up by 13 and under a minute?
You are freaking stupid and should shut the f*** up about everything you dumbass. and go see if a baseball player is drinking a beer before a game fu**tard.

[Bothrops]

Man, STFU. This kind of post is stupid and useless. Same those strokes on the keyboard in the future.

It may be useless but I'm afraid it's true. And kiss my ass

[I seen it dawg]

Holloway up the middle again. What the **** goes through our coach's head? Is there a hamster on a wheel up there?

Shitters full.

[IMissJack]

Glad I don't have any money riding on this today!

Yep, and in the mean time Clark had his first string in and could have made it a one score game if they get that onside kick. You shut the **** up!

Seems to me we were saying similar things when we went 7-0 in 2012. "We were playing conservative vs the weaker part of our schedule". "We'd turn it up and show everybody when we got into SEC play!"

[Dawgface]

Man, STFU. This kind of post is stupid and useless. Same those strokes on the keyboard in the future.

He's correct. We will struggle to win 6 games.

Nobody's on a ledge, except a few idiots....most of us are just frustrated that we played like shit today. It happens after a shit show, we're you expecting high fives after that?

[ScoobaDawg]

Yep, and in the mean time Clark had his first string in and could have made it a one score game if they get that onside kick. You shut the **** up!

and your point? our defense shouldn't of let them score. you still dont even think about putting Dak in when up 2 possessions and less than a minute. You are an Idiot and have no clue.

[ScoobaDawg]

Nobody's on a ledge, except a few idiots....most of us are just frustrated that we played like shit today. It happens after a shit show, we're you expecting high fives after that?

exactly im sure as hell happy we won. We played VERY odd today in the first half with the whole 2nd team bullshit and it really screwed up the flow of the game. Defense left a LOT of questions to be answered in a short time, as going down to South Alabama we will get their super bowl performance and really need to put on a dominating performance.

The extra point kicking situation is all on Dan even if he isnt the special teams coach anymore, thats beyond pathetic .

[Statecoachingblows**]

This is nuts, anybody that tries to justify the shit show that happened today is OM delusional. This was a bad showing all the way around coaching, O, & D. On the bright side we won, and that's about it.

[TrapGame]

Played like shit, bunch of heads not in the game and Dan made knuckle-head coaching decisions to make it far worse.

[defiantdog]

Bourbon + team playing bad = message board popcorn material

[Statecoachingblows**]

How dare any of you express dissatisfaction with an ugly win against a shitty team! Jesus, yea we won but other than that we have very little positives to take away from this game. This ones in the books, we have one more week to iron out the kinks before the first big game of the season.

[CadaverDawg]

Bourbon + team playing bad = message board popcorn material

Thanks, you just reminded me it's time for a refill
