Click an ad trolls. Let's punk the blazers, dragons or whatever they are and move to next week.

Hail State!

Dak = Bard the Bowman
JRob = St. George

Hail State!

Dak = Bard the Bowman
JRob = St. George

Chris Jones is clearly Hercules, and BMac is Beowulf.

[Pollodawg]

lol. I was just in Birmingham Thursday and asked a lady if she pulled for UAB. Her response, and I kid you not, was: "Not really. They're not very good. What are they, the dragons?"

People in BHam don't even care about UAB athletics.

Love the Tolkien reference!

[preachermatt83]

Damien starting at qb

[preachermatt83]

forgot the ** my bad.. hahahahahaha!!

[Smitty]

The buzz around campus seems to be way down today. Hopefully everyone is just a late arrival and we fill up the stands.

The one negative to an opening game blowout, is people taking UAB too lightly. Based on what I've seen from our players on twitter, they don't seem to be taking them lightly. We'll see

1pm start vs 6:30pm start

Season opener against in-state rival (well sorta) vs out-of-state team we're expected to beat

[CadaverDawg]

Go Dawgs!!! from UABsucksButNotAsBadAsUSMsoLet'sNotSleepWalkThrough ThisGame, MS

[Coach34]

You will never have the buzz for a 1pm that you get for 6:30 game

[Air of The Dawg]

You will never have the buzz for a 1pm that you get for 6:30 game

High five there Coach

[Statecoachingblows**]

Thoughts on another shutout? Would be nice to get one this week and next, go into Baton Rouge not having given up a single point through 3 weeks. Its doable.

[msstate7]

Thoughts on another shutout? Would be nice to get one this week and next, go into Baton Rouge not having given up a single point through 3 weeks. Its doable.

We'd have to have a lot of luck. Lots of ways to blow a shutout.

[Coach34]

I'm ready to get this party started

[CadaverDawg]

I'm ready to get this party started

Me too. I've been into the whiskey for 2 hours

[I seen it dawg]

Let's cover again.

[CadaverDawg]

Crowd sounds good. Glad to hear it

[Smitty]

Maroon white still sucks energy out.

[msstate7]

Glad to be able to watch, but this feed sucks

[CadaverDawg]

I thought Cedric Jiles was hurt? I just saw #13 dressed out and stretching on the sidelines. Is he back? Would be great to have him on our Nickle packages

[BulldogBear]

Sigh. Wish we had cool helmets.

[CadaverDawg]

UAB's helmets are gross

[CadaverDawg]

ROJO!!!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

BOOM

[Statecoachingblows**]

Had there been a better start to a game in state history? Beautiful

[PMDawg]

Lol at uab message board fans.

[msstate7]

Nice throw. Even better protection

[CadaverDawg]

Damn near missed the PAT

[CowtownDawg]

Ok, need you guys to give more details than Rojo and boom. Can't find anywhere to watch here in Fort Worth.

Thanks.

[PMDawg]

Had there been a better start to a game in state history? Beautiful

Lsu game 2000. We still lost.

[I seen it dawg]

Good start I guess

[BulldogBear]

Bwahahah! Troy, we are not, Blagons!

[Smitty]

Great start!

[CadaverDawg]

Yay, a touchback

[CadaverDawg]

Psycho Defense time. Shut em out Dawgs!

[msstate7]

Damn near missed the PAT

Let's just quit placekicking altogether. Go for 2 and just go for on 4th on opp's side of field

[CadaverDawg]

We playing Ole miss?

[BulldogBear]

Weather looks gorgeous, but I bet it's hot.

[msstate7]

Eulls?!!!!

[BulldogBear]

We playing Ole miss?

Took me second. Touche'

[CadaverDawg]

This offense will be a good warmup for our defense. Similar to Auburn in style it appears

[CadaverDawg]

Damn our defense is good

[CadaverDawg]

Jamoral looked comfortable back there. Love it!

We've found ourselves a punt returner. I can cut it off now*

[BulldogBear]

The Cheetuuuuuuuhhhh!

[preachermatt83]

that's how you field a punt with someone in your face SMOKEY!! #NoFear

[msstate7]

Graham looks more confident fielding punts than Lewis

[CadaverDawg]

Graham looks more confident fielding punts than Lewis

No doubt about it. I can tell with that one catch that we have found our guy at punt returner

[PMDawg]

Cmon Dan.....

[CadaverDawg]

Nice draw play

Not sure why Williams is in

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

I'm a dumbass and forgot Damian's last name was Williams

[CadaverDawg]

Well I guess Aries Williams isn't redshirted

Why, was he in? That's Damien Williams

[preachermatt83]

this damion playing so early crap is getting on my nerves

[Smitty]

Stop this Williams shit!!

[CadaverDawg]

Quit ****ing around, Dan. Damn. Why do we insist on killing our momentum? This is so stupid

[msstate7]

Terrible.

[PMDawg]

Wasted drive, goodbye shut out.

[Bothrops]

Rojo should have had that pass

[CadaverDawg]

Dumb shit.

[CadaverDawg]

Wasted drive, goodbye shut out.

Yep.

What's the point of that? I don't get it.

[I seen it dawg]

Goddammit play the ****ing backup when it's mop up. It ****s the entire rhythm of the offense up.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Why, was he in? That's Damien Williams

I know...I forgot he was 11 and wasn't paying attention at the start of the play.

[CadaverDawg]

How bout a pick 6 right here, Jamerson?

[Bothrops]

Damian seems a bit confused.

[MetEdDawg]

Williams mechanics are trash. Threw that fly to Fred off his back foot with no pressure on him. Dropped his hips back, shifted his weight to his back foot and just flung it. Terrible mechanics.

[MarketingBully01]

Yep.

What's the point of that? I don't get it.

Dak didn't look hurt at all threw a perfect pass and then Damien goes in on second possession? That was shit.

[ckDOG]

Run the ****ing ball. Esp when there is a backup QB.

[CadaverDawg]

If Mullen wants to know why some people haven't fully bought in to him.....this is why, Dan.

[BulldogBear]

1) Does Tubby even play anymore?

2) I hope we don't delete possesions against SEC teams

[RTO Dawg]

Stop this Williams shit!!



Please

[msstate7]

I can see it now...

We go up 7-0 on lsu, force a punt, and Williams throws pick 6 on 2nd drive.

[CadaverDawg]

Attaboy Redmond

[PMDawg]

Well, good thing our second string defense is better than the 1b offense.

[msstate7]

Fitz's turn

[CadaverDawg]

Now get the 1's back in there and quit being a dumb ass, Cousin Eddie

[ckDOG]

Nice open field tackle by Redmond.

[msstate7]

When Dan brings in Williams, he could at least run the ball more to help him.

[I seen it dawg]

Merry Christmas. Shitters (my head) full.

[BulldogBear]

I'm all for Williams, just not at this point in the game. Preplanned I'm sure. Just concerns me about rhythm.

[I seen it dawg]

We have absolutely found our punt returner. Looks and acts the part.

[msstate7]

Are you trying to get him killed dak?

[preachermatt83]

BECKWITH SUCKS!!

[BulldogBear]

Wow, what a turrible read

[Bothrops]

We sure do like to make it challenging

[BrunswickDawg]

Dan just said "that's a chicken shit call"

[NorCalDawg]

Got dam, Beckwith!

[RTO Dawg]

WTF

[msstate7]

All on Mullen!!! Quit screwing up our rhythm

[BulldogBear]

We look like poo. Well, it's early yet

[rcsteph1]

OLine getting blown up. And then let them start at the 24

[Bothrops]

D has their work cut out now

[preachermatt83]

SMH

[PMDawg]

This is what Dan deserves for ****ing up the field position by being a stupid prick. Hate it for the defense though.

[I seen it dawg]

Good ****ing job on 2nd drive taking our starting QB out. Kills all momentum and rhythm and now here we are. ****ing stupid.

[CadaverDawg]

Thanks for killing mo, and swapping the field position, Dan. Dumbass

[BulldogBear]

Let's try not to be down 21-0 1st quarter when we play SEC games

[NorCalDawg]

Bringing the 2nd string in on the 2nd series kills momentum. Period. Are we going to have to put up with that bullshit all year? (Rhetorical question)

[preachermatt83]

All on Mullen!!! Quit screwing up our rhythm

exactly!!!!!

[Bothrops]

Not good

[rcsteph1]

Calhoun down. working on his right leg

[PMDawg]

And now calhoun with a knee.

[CadaverDawg]

Damn, Calhoun holding his knee

[preachermatt83]

CRAP! That's a knee

[NorCalDawg]

Calhoun is down.

[msstate7]

Dan has put together a really nice team, but can he win big with it? Do you ever see saban, Meyer, etc do stupid stuff like that? Dan is as big of a question mark as our kicker sometimes

[Air of The Dawg]

[QUOTE=NorCalDawg;240137]Bringing the 2nd string in on the 2nd series kills momentum.

Bingo

[CadaverDawg]

Bye bye shut out. Thanks, Dan

[preachermatt83]

offer that kid a scholarship to come kick for us.

[Dawg496]

Any update on Calhoun?

[BulldogBear]

Welll......crap, but I did predict 38-3

[mparkerfd20]

That's all they will get today...FGs

[CadaverDawg]

Any update on Calhoun?

Not yet

[Bothrops]

We need Calhoun 100 percent at Lsu.

[preachermatt83]

holy crap damion back in

[CadaverDawg]

Williams is back in. What the ****, Dan? Get your head out of your ass

[Smitty]

Damian again what the ****

[mparkerfd20]

Damnit Dan.

[MarketingBully01]

What the **** is Dan doing? He is coaching us to a loss here.

[HancockCountyDog]

I'm at here and sweating like Freezus in church, any update on Calhoun?

Also is Dak hurt, why are we splitting reps?

[PMDawg]

This is why Dan will never win big. 7 wins fellas. 8 max.

[preachermatt83]

Either Dak is bothered by that foot or Dan is an idiot.

[CadaverDawg]

Josh is a beast.

[BulldogBear]

You gotta be kidding me.

[CadaverDawg]

Either Dak is bothered by that foot or Dan is an idiot.

I'm going with "B"

[CadaverDawg]

We will **** around and barely win this game bc of this garbage

[NorCalDawg]

JRob! At least Dan kept the 1st string back in this time.

[preachermatt83]

RUN the stupid football!

[CadaverDawg]

Anybody thinking our OL is good, is lying to themselves

[RTO Dawg]

JEEZ

[CadaverDawg]

2 drives with Williams....2 punts. Shocker

[Bothrops]

8 wins is our ceiling this year.

[Sacrifice]

What's killing me is Dak doesn't have 20 starts under his belt. He needs the dam reps more than Williams.

[MarketingBully01]

No it couldn't have anything to do with Damien sucking...

[preachermatt83]

Im glad we have an outstanding Defense.. Cause Dan is gonna kill us on offense.

[BulldogBear]

I can only hope that we are trying to be vanilla on offense

[CadaverDawg]

What's killing me is Dak doesn't have 20 starts under his belt. He needs the dam reps more than Williams.

This, this, this

[preachermatt83]

Anybody thinking our OL is good, is lying to themselves

+1000

[ShotgunDawg]

With all this QB switching, we have no rhythm on offense. None.

Who cares about QB depth? If we lose Dak, we done anyway.

[MS_half-step]

Correro say Calhoun will be back in

[msstate7]

Gift

[preachermatt83]

he felt footsteps.

[CadaverDawg]

Thank God they can't catch, bc they are running free in our secondary.

[PMDawg]

Pass D looks like shit.

[CadaverDawg]

Run it back, Smokey

[CadaverDawg]

Graham will end up being a good one

[preachermatt83]

Atta boy SMokey!

[mparkerfd20]

We definitely found our PR man.

[defiantdog]

I can only hope that we are trying to be vanilla on offense

Screw vanilla.... We need to quit messing around and play the damn game.

[msstate7]

Now leave him in till it's 42-3

[jalakin]

Glad their receivers cant catch worth shit. That has ended several of UAB's drives.

[Smitty]

Dak

[preachermatt83]

I love Tubby!

[NorCalDawg]

Graham. That's best punt return I've seen from us in a long time.

[preachermatt83]

Dak just threw that thing up for grabs.

[mparkerfd20]

No Heisman for you

[BulldogBear]

Yeah for Tubby.

Head scratching for Dak

[PMDawg]

Dak......damn son.

We suck.

[preachermatt83]

Think he forgot he was throwing to Tubby and not Bear.

[defiantdog]

Dak has no rhythm with all this interchanging shit

[ShotgunDawg]

brutal. Thats what happens when you switch QBs every drive. No rhythm and the QB isn't into the game

[CadaverDawg]

Dak has no rhythm with all this interchanging shit

Exactly. That pick is on Dan.

[Statecoachingblows**]

Come on D

[msstate7]

So sick of this razzle dazzle bs... We're the physically superior team!!!! Run it down their throats!

[preachermatt83]

Taveze back in...

[CadaverDawg]

HOLY SHIT

[PMDawg]

Yay D. Offense sucks.

[Smitty]

Preston!!

[preachermatt83]

OMG!!!! Preston is out MVP!! Who was that that killed the QB? McKinney?

[PMDawg]

Scratch that. Coaching sucks.

[TrapGame]

Damn, our D's good!!!

[BulldogBear]

Way to go!!!! Woohoo! Should've been int grounding for safety if not!

[preachermatt83]

I love our DEFENSE!!!

[Bothrops]

Wow, I refrain from saying something negative and get rewarded

[mparkerfd20]

2 picks for Preston already. My my my

[NorCalDawg]

WOW! How in the hell...?

[BrunswickDawg]

Thank God for Preston Brown. Georgia boys doin' work!

[CadaverDawg]

Good God. We won't win 8 games. Son of a bitch

[ShotgunDawg]

Dan's looking like a brutal coach today

[Smitty]

Just get rid of kickers and go for it every time like an inner city Jackson school

[MarketingBully01]

You've got to be shitting me....

[preachermatt83]

So help me!!! Our kickers are the reason we cant win big period.

[BrunswickDawg]

Can I come kick? I hit an extra point one time?

[PMDawg]

Holy. Shit. Just stop kicking. **** these losers. A HS kicker could do better.

[mparkerfd20]

We are screwed at kicker

[Statecoachingblows**]

P smith=sec god! Nice stat to average a pick per game as a DL

[NorCalDawg]

Bring back Les Keonning!

[BulldogBear]

WT17?

Been saying it since last year. IT IS TIME FOR A AN ALL CALL TRYOUT FOR KICKER ON CAMPUS

[CadaverDawg]

Market is hurt now. Shit

[preachermatt83]

what kind of crap kickoff was that..

[PMDawg]

So help me!!! Our kickers are the reason we cant win big period.

Wrong. Dan is the reason.

[Dawgface]

Good D but a dumb ass coaching the offense.

[BulldogBear]

Frankly, I think we need to free up a couple of 17ing schollies on ST.

[preachermatt83]

that's gonna be a concussion.

[CadaverDawg]

Knee to the head

[Bothrops]

Possibly concussion

[HancockCountyDog]

Ok, we are extremely lucky so far, they are dropping passes and playing like shit.

Our Defense is top 5 in the country.

[jalakin]

Shit now Market!

[ShotgunDawg]

Kicking has become a cancer. We wait for and expect bad things to happen

[PMDawg]

WT17?

Been saying it since last year. IT IS TIME FOR A AN ALL CALL TRYOUT FOR KICKER ON CAMPUS

Why? Dan will screw up their mechanics too.

[MS_half-step]

Yikes

[Smitty]

what kind of crap kickoff was that..

From the 20. On the penalty.

[jalakin]

Busted his head open?

[CadaverDawg]

Got our second team D in too

[NorCalDawg]

Market is a player. I love that guy. Hope he will be OK.

[mparkerfd20]

Our pass D leaves a lot to be desired. This is 2ND string, but first hasn't been great either.

[preachermatt83]

UAB is gonna win some games this year. They are not real talented but they are very well coached.

[BulldogBear]

First Quarter grade: D

[PMDawg]

UAB is gonna win some games this year. They are not real talented but they are very well coached.

Polar opposites playing today...

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm actually glad someone ran a trick play on us before SEC play. Will make us more aware

[preachermatt83]

From the 20. On the penalty.

I was just talking about how goofy it looked... it looked like a spinning top.

[MetEdDawg]

I understand why Dan is doing what he is doing. He wants to get his 2nd team guys like Williams meaningful reps. We are good enough to survive this which is why I think he is doing it. Williams needs legit game minutes, not 3rd quarter blowout minutes because he's probably gonna be called on at some point. We aren't going to look pretty but Williams has to get comfortable in these spots. Dak just has to play better. He doesn't get a pass. He's a better QB than that and he should own that pick

[CadaverDawg]

At MSU, we are our own worst enemy. We can't stand success. Instead, we have to **** around and get cute and ruin whatever recognition we could ever achieve.

News flash Dan....we haven't ever been able to blow a bunch of teams out, so do you mind letting us see what that looks like before screwing around with the lineup and possibly causing us to lose?

[HancockCountyDog]

Here is what I know:

It's ****ing hot here. Really damn hot.

Kicking game is silly.

DL is winning this game. Our OL is terrible.

[MS_half-step]

We suck again

[ShotgunDawg]

Jimbo Fisher: I don't care what sport, offense is about rhythm

[preachermatt83]

Polar opposites playing today...

hahaha! PMDawg I thought I was the most critical of our coaches on this board.. You have certainly taken that spot.

[MarketingBully01]

Our pass D leaves a lot to be desired. This is 2ND string, but first hasn't been great either.

Um, that was on a trick play. I doubt they score a TD here. Probably another field goal try. We need to keep Dak in there though at least until the third quarter so he can get some kind of rhythm. At least...

[IMissJack]

it's time to hold someone's ass responsible for the kickers

[Bothrops]

Ok, we are extremely lucky so far, they are dropping passes and playing like shit.

Our Defense is top 5 in the country.

This^ Uab is inept on offense.

[ckDOG]

**** this time to booze. All I have is tequila. See you guys on the other side of angry.

[Smitty]

First Quarter grade: D

Dan gonna Dan. Pull out the 2010 play book and let's roll.

[CadaverDawg]

Well at least we can tell recruits, "Dak WOULD have been a Heisman candidate had Dan let him find his rhythm at some point". We finally have a star QB, and Dan is worried about getting the backup starter minutes. My head is going to ****ing explode

[NorCalDawg]

Jimbo Fisher: I don't care what sport, offense is about rhythm

Post of the day!

[mparkerfd20]

Trick play or not it was fugly. If they weren't dropping so many passes when wide open your think differently

[I seen it dawg]

I understand why Dan is doing what he is doing. He wants to get his 2nd team guys like Williams meaningful reps. We are good enough to survive this which is why I think he is doing it. Williams needs legit game minutes, not 3rd quarter blowout minutes because he's probably gonna be called on at some point. We aren't going to look pretty but Williams has to get comfortable in these spots. Dak just has to play better. He doesn't get a pass. He's a better QB than that and he should own that pick

Dak is not a 2 year starter. He needs to stay in games to build rhythm and snaps. It's stupid to play Williams early in games. He is a backup for a reason. Our QB who is just a Jr needs game reps first and foremost.

[mparkerfd20]

Damnit

[CadaverDawg]

We create confidence for our opponents. This shit is unacceptable

[Smitty]

Chris Jones on the pine and they score.

This is ****ing bullshit

[ShotgunDawg]

This is certified embarrassing. Thanks Dan

Just when we start really liking you, you get cute and don't allow your team to play football

[msstate7]

Can we trade coaches?

[MarketingBully01]

We gotta get our head out of our ass. Why was the guy wide open when it was 3rd and 10.

[CadaverDawg]

Let the ****ing starters play!! On both sides of the ball. So far our 2's have had two 3 and outs on offense, and allowed 10 points on defense. Can the starters play??

[ShotgunDawg]

We bought too much into this "depth" shit. Win the game first. This isn't church league basketball where everyone gets to play. This is the SEC.

[PMDawg]

hahaha! PMDawg I thought I was the most critical of our coaches on this board.. You have certainly taken that spot.

Well, the moron in charge is begging to be upset today. Letting a total crap team hang around just for the fun of it. We should have already put this game away.

[Bothrops]

We ain't beating Lsu, A&M, or Auburn.

[MetEdDawg]

Dak is not a 2 year starter. He needs to stay in games to build rhythm and snaps. It's stupid to play Williams early in games. He is a backup for a reason. Our QB who is just a Jr needs game reps first and foremost.

Do we really think early game reps against UAB are what's going to be the difference between Dak being good enough to take us places and not? No way. Williams will almost be assured to play as some meaningful points this year. I would argue that Williams playing in the 1st quarter against UAB while the game is still up for grabs is more important than Dak playing in the 1st. I don't worry about Dak. I worry about Dak getting hurt and what we have behind him.

Now what I do agree with is that at some point you have to stop it because you either aren't getting anything done on offense or the game is close. Williams should not see the field again unless this game is in hand.

[defiantdog]

Same shit, different year with Dan.

[ShotgunDawg]

We care more about building depth than we do about playing well. Depth is good, but if it is at the sacrifice of playing well, your priorities are out of order.

[msstate7]

Williams turn

[CadaverDawg]

You wanna know why we don't get hype and OM does? OM doesn't do dumb shit like this. They wipe he floor with these teams and let their starters play. FU Dan

[ShotgunDawg]

We ain't beating Lsu, A&M, or Auburn.

Easy bud, we are better than this, but we are playing like crap right now. We will be up for those games.

[NorCalDawg]

We create confidence for our opponents. This shit is unacceptable

2nd Post of the day!

[ShotgunDawg]

Damien again? WTF?

[CadaverDawg]

We care more about building depth than we do about playing well. Depth is good, but if it is at the sacrifice of playing well, your priorities are out of order.

Amen

[DownwardDawg]

WTF is Dan doing????

[MarketingBully01]

We are losing this game. Williams in.

[PMDawg]

THIS IS ****ING STUPID. Dan's a dud, we want Hud!

[Smitty]

Damian in lolololol

HUD! HUD!
