[I seen it dawg]

Today is the day we let everyone know we are the best team in the country...AGAIN. Let the trailer parks burn.

51-17 State

I. Seen. It.

[ShotgunDawg]

Time to burn it down boys. Total destruction. Leave nothing behind

[Pollodawg]

This is the invasion of Saban's Tuscaloosa.

[MarketingBully01]

This is the invasion of Saban's Tuscaloosa.

We gotta keep this bumped to the top. MSU gonna win 24-14.

[msstate7]

I've said 28-20 state all week, but I'm getting nervous now. Don't have a great feeling, but I felt like this against auburn too

[EdDawg]

I've been confident one minute and nervous the next all morning. Let's go Dawgs!!!

Thinking about opening the patio door and yelling while we are on defense even though I live 3 hours from TTown.

[GreenheadDawg]

I'll admit it. I'm nervous as hell. I hope our boys came to play the game of their life

[Pollodawg]

I'm so sick of hearing about the "Dynasty" and all of this other such crap that I could puke. Frankly, I am sick of hearing about Bama. Flat out tired of it. No, people, Bear Bryant did not invent football. They play the game places other than Tuscaloosa as well. The end starts here.

[EdDawg]

If we receive the ball to start I hope someone lays out Reuben Foster. I've watched a few bama games this year and I get sick of his dancing around every time he makes a tackle.

[BrunswickDawg]

I've hit the "calm before the storm". Nice fire in the fireplace, a tall bourbon in my hand, flipping between games, and have warm feeling of confidence.

[Political Hack]

I've hit the "calm before the storm". Nice fire in the fireplace, a tall bourbon in my hand, flipping between games, and have warm feeling of confidence.

I hope to hit that down the stretch of the 2nd half.

[BeardoMSU]

With whats at stake in this game, you've got to be a little nervous, no matter how confident you may be.....I'm threadin' the line...

LETS GO, BOYS! HAIL DAMN STATE

[BrunswickDawg]

To be the man, you gotta beat the man.

[Coach34]

WE ALL WE GOT!!!

[PMDawg]

WE ALL WE NEED!

[DownwardDawg]

WE ALL WE NEED!!!!!!

[starkvegasdawg]

Time to become Harvey Updyke's most hated.

[CadaverDawg]

Maxi Pad headgear aren't what I wanted to see. But winning in them will still be bad ass

[CadaverDawg]

Time to pour a bourbon and watch history

[NorCalDawg]

Benni Brown. Good stop!!!

[NorCalDawg]

Just fair catch it, dammit!

[PMDawg]

Dak looking good

[CadaverDawg]

Couple of poor throws by Dak. We are going to eventually have to go down field. JRob wasn't getting that 1st down either way

[starkvegasdawg]

Time for the D to get back out there.

[Bothrops]

Sims is getting too much time

[Bothrops]

These announcers suck.

[CadaverDawg]

Let's score and put some pressure on these turds

[DownwardDawg]

Defense looking great so far

[Coach34]

AJ with a huge damn play

[DownwardDawg]

Let's score and put some pressure on these turds

Time to drive 95 yards!

[mparkerfd20]

These announcers suck.

It's Verne and Shirley. What'd you expect?

[cheewgumm]

Time for JROB to get involved.

[msstate7]

Terrible terrible

[mparkerfd20]

Well Shit

[DownwardDawg]

Wow

[NorCalDawg]

Looks like the motion man got in JRob's way.

[codeDawg]

He had the lane inside. Why outside? Why?

[CadaverDawg]

We always resort back to old MSU when we play these guys. What the **** are you thinking, Josh?

[RealHastings]

Wheres the forward progress. Already a bullshit call. go figure

[codeDawg]

He had the lane inside. Why outside? Why?

Oh, it was designed outside behind Fred. Bad play call.

[CadaverDawg]

Can't do dumb shit and win this game. Damn it

[Dawgface]

Looks like the motion man got in JRob's way.

Yep but J Rob shouldn't have gone outside.

[Tbonewannabe]

Looks like the motion man got in JRob's way.

He still should not have ran back.

[DovaDawg]

Got to kick deeper than the 20. Can't let them start at the 30.

[NorCalDawg]

Holding around the waist on P.Smith.

[CadaverDawg]

Piss poor tackling effort

[Air of The Dawg]

Oh, it was designed outside behind Fred. Bad play call.

Bingo. Def corner keyed on play action.

[BrunswickDawg]

1b alert

[Tbonewannabe]

We have to tackle better

[PMDawg]

1b lets the RB fall forward. Thats the biggest difference.

[CadaverDawg]

Got the damn 1B linebackers in tere

[Dawgface]

Maybe we can win this 3-2

[NorCalDawg]

All of a sudden the D is looking a little tentative.

[CadaverDawg]

GET THE MOTHER ****ING SECOND STRING OUT OF ERE COLLINS, YOU SHIT ASS

[mstatefan91]

This is f*cking stupid

[Really Clark?]

Got to kick deeper than the 20. Can't let them start at the 30.

Uh...we had to kick from our own 20 after the safety.

[Really Clark?]

Good hold defense

[mstatefan91]

Well at least Jamerson came to play

[preachermatt83]

baseball score

[CadaverDawg]

Well, we aren't going to win this game without scoring. Time to get our heads out of our ass on offense and get it going.

[codeDawg]

Well, a touchdown puts us up. Just get one of those.

[msstate7]

5-0... We need an answer

[preachermatt83]

our defense came to play!

[Tbonewannabe]

We have to quit dicking around on Offense.

[Dawgface]

Feel fortunate to only be down 5. Maybe offense will get going here.

[mstatefan91]

Run the damn football.

[DownwardDawg]

We couldn't have started much worse. Only down 5 is a gift. Our D is playing well. Time for Dak and the offense to take control.

[codeDawg]

We have to quit dicking around on Offense.

JRob needs to start running straight ahead.

[CadaverDawg]

What a joke our return team is

[preachermatt83]

We couldn't have started much worse. Only down 5 is a gift. Our D is playing well. Time for Dak and the offense to take control.

this

[PMDawg]

We need a big play. Everyone is timid. Need somebody to step up and get the juice flowing.

[CadaverDawg]

Holloway now?! Why the hell did we even make the trip?

[preachermatt83]

yea lets put Holloway in there*** Geez

[codeDawg]

Yeah, Holloway is who we need running against Bama.

[Tbonewannabe]

Why the hell is Holloway in?

[CadaverDawg]

So Dan is going to punish JRob during the biggest game in our history? We. are....

[PMDawg]

Yeah, its not gonna be Holloway. He couldnt break a tackle by my grandma

[codeDawg]

Shit playcalling. Shit.

[Tbonewannabe]

What a joke our return team is

I would kick it every time to Robert Johnson because he will never get past the 25

[mparkerfd20]

Don't think we came to play today

[CadaverDawg]

That drive is ALL in you Dan. Meet your head out of your ass. This isn't the time to start being a dipshit.

[NorCalDawg]

Well. Shit.

[Tbonewannabe]

Dak looks off. He needs to calm down, our whole team looks tight.

[PMDawg]

Why did we even ****ing bother to show up?

[BrunswickDawg]

Time to pour the liquor heavy boys....

[codeDawg]

Shitting the bed.

[Delmar]

this is pitiful

[CadaverDawg]

Might as well Just pack it up and go home the way we've shown up. We look like the damn bad news bears. Show some balls, Dawgs.

[preachermatt83]

bell has ALWAYS choked in big games at both kicker and punter. Logan cooke is better than he is anyway. I cant understand why he is even on scholarship.

[thedawg]

This game is too big for Holloway.... Don't put his ass back in

[Dawgface]

Look like same old shit against bama. Pathetic.

[Negative Waves]

Looking like the Mississippi State of old right now. Why do we do this against Bama?

[Tbonewannabe]

This game being in Tuscaloosa is seeming too big for us right now. We look horribly tight except Jamerson Love.

[preachermatt83]

we are literally playing scared. I never would have believed it but we are playing scared.

[cheewgumm]

Nice punt.

[Bothrops]

We are getting owned on the LOS. Holloway in there is just plain dumb. He's a fumble risk in this place.

[starkvegasdawg]

We just can't stand success.

[cheewgumm]

Dan's just gotta go for it on offense. F it. Throw more...they're open.

[codeDawg]

How about we run the ball up the middle. Then throw some bubble screens. Then run some more. Then throw to Bear.

Why don't we just do what we do? It worked against LSU, Auburn, A&M, etc.

[HailState39110]

Bad play calling . Bad special teams . Offense looks like shit

[CadaverDawg]

Mullen is an idiot. Here is no excuse for Holloway that series. Just embarrassing. He was punishing JRob for the safety, and in the meantime punishing our team, fans, and program by putting in a damn SWAC level player in the biggest game in history. I am so pissed off right now. **** you, Dan. You better turn this shit around because that trash is unacceptable.

[Tbonewannabe]

We need something to go right, right now.

[msstate7]

I understand if Dan wants to send a message to jrob, but don't waste 2 downs on holloway.

[Liverpooldawg]

We look like we are caught in the headlights since that safety. This team hasn't done this stuff so far this year. The big stage is getting to us right now. Huge defensive series right here.

[Air of The Dawg]

Dak looks off. He needs to calm down, our whole team looks tight.

That's right. Keep your poise, ake control of time of possession, be aggressive. OC needs to misdirection, screen, reverse something.

[maroonmania]

Devon Bell killing us with his punting now with a 35 yarder and a shanked 20 yarder.

[NorCalDawg]

Matt Wells. Saving our bacon, again. Thank you!

[BrunswickDawg]

Cheetah!

[TopDog58]

This one is over. 9-1 is still good!

[Tbonewannabe]

Matt Wells. Saving our bacon, again. Thank you!

That play could end up being huge in the long run.

[preachermatt83]

proud of our defense . I think we could win big if our offense wasn't playing like girls

[I seen it dawg]

Def needs to come off and punch the offense in the ****** balls.

[cheewgumm]

Man, you guys give up quick!!

It's 5-0, not 21-0.

We'll get a stop, and get it back. Dan will open it up and we'll be back in there.

[Maroonthirteen]

Person made a good point to me this week. Most Alabama players have experience playing in the biggest games, high school and college. Which is why they pull games out like last week. State doesn't and te road pressure will be tough to overcome. So far....true. We look scared shitless on offense.

[mstatefan91]

This one is over. 9-1 is still good!
Shut the f*ck up and go somewhere else

[DownwardDawg]

It's ok. We'll be 10-1 after next week and 11-1 the week after!!! Greatest season in history!!! Yay!! ********

[preachermatt83]

How about we run the ball up the middle. Then throw some bubble screens. Then run some more. Then throw to Bear.

Why don't we just do what we do? It worked against LSU, Auburn, A&M, etc.

thank you!! If that back shoulder pass to Johnson would have been to bear it would have been a 30 yard gain.

[maroonmania]

Yep, and running backward into the end zone to give your opponent a safety is never a good sign that you are thinking straight.

[CadaverDawg]

Our play calling is shit, our substitutions are shit, our OL is shit, and our punter is shit, today. It's time to either decide you wanna be a champion, or throw in the towel like a bunch of pansies and go home. We look like a damn JV team getting their first action against the 85 Bears. Sack up and let's go

[DownwardDawg]

It's not over yet guys. It's 5-0 after one quarter and we played like garbage. We got this!!!!!

[BulldogBear]

On offense we are playing to their strengths and not ours. We seem to almost be having a "cute" game. Holloway is mind bogling at this point.

[Tbonewannabe]

Nice catch by Ross

[preachermatt83]

good job Ross

[Quaoarsking]

Is robinson hurt?

[War Machine Dawg]

Thank the football gods our D decided to show up today. Our playacting has been garbage. Of course, we've also been backed up inside the 20 all damn day. We've GOT to get some breathing room.

[DownwardDawg]

We getting handled on LOS.

[mparkerfd20]

Screw this playcalling

[CadaverDawg]

Dan is choking. We are completely going away from what we do best. Terrible play calling since drive 1

[codeDawg]

RUN THE BALL UP THE MIDDLE ON FIRST DOWN

[Tbonewannabe]

Right now Kirby > Dan

[NorCalDawg]

Bear Force 1!

[Dawgface]

Defense holding their own. Offense has to help. There you go, nice pass.

[Delmar]

Bear Force!

[Tbonewannabe]

Bear came to play damn it.

[preachermatt83]

bear!

[War Machine Dawg]

Finally, we gave it to the J-Beast. About damn time. #RTDF

[CadaverDawg]

You would think the players had Chinese names the way Verne slaughters them

[Tbonewannabe]

Bad throw by Dak.

[Dawgface]

Frig

[mparkerfd20]

Tipped.

Edit: just horrible throw it looked tipped the way it wobbled.

[Air of The Dawg]

You would think the players had Chinese names the way Verne slaughters them

Plus Danielson's "bubba teeth" are showing really bad

[CadaverDawg]

Jesus. We aren't winning this game. Too many mistakes

[RealHastings]

17 17 17 17

[War Machine Dawg]

****. Day forced it. You had the lane to run the football, so run the damn ball!

[NorCalDawg]

Morrow was wide open. Defender fell down.

[BulldogBear]

quadruple covered

[preachermatt83]

good job Heisman*

[Quaoarsking]

"Inferior quarterbacks don't have a chance against Alabama."

WTF?

[Tbonewannabe]

Dan is not calling a good game right now. Dak still doesn't look good.

[CadaverDawg]

"Inferior quarterbacks don't have a chance against Alabama."

WTF?

Heard that. What a moron.

[BulldogBear]

Dan is choking. We are completely going away from what we do best. Terrible play calling since drive 1

Truest post since kickoff^

Been in a terrible offensive gameplan all game

[cheewgumm]

Sheesh, don't give up so early.

[mstatefan91]

"Inferior quarterbacks don't have a chance against Alabama."

WTF?
he's a dick of the highest level.

[Bothrops]

Dak will be back next year because he won't have a choice.

[preachermatt83]

its over boys

[BulldogBear]

So much for loose. We are as tight as we were two years ago.

[starkvegasdawg]

"Inferior quarterbacks don't have a chance against Alabama."

WTF?
So which one is on his knees in the booth now? Verne or Gary? You know they're celebrating the pick.

[Negative Waves]

At least that pick was like a punt. Bama has pinned us deep every drive.

[codeDawg]

Dak knew where he was going with it when the ball was snapped. He had a lot of options and threw it into triple coverage. He needs to settle down and get his head in the game. Make reads. Throw to open guys.

[CadaverDawg]

Why do we refuse to run the damn football? Why? It worked running Dak on the first drive, but we go away from it. It's like Dan is choking. He called such good games against LSU and Auburn, now we play right into their hands

[Dawgface]

"Inferior quarterbacks don't have a chance against Alabama."

WTF?
Unfotnately he looks it right now.

[mstate68]

We're done

[TopDog58]

We've lost this but it'll be ok we are going to a good bowl!

[maroonmania]

Was hoping we could turn it back on but we may have peaked way too early. Certainly don't look like the team that played that LSU through Auburn stretch.

[CadaverDawg]

Alabama holds like hell

[CadaverDawg]

Tackle!!!!!!

[PMDawg]

http://i.imgur.com/abBAQaB.gif

[cheewgumm]

We're gonna WN!!!!

you know why....SIMS SUX!

Hang in there.

[CadaverDawg]

Ok offense, the D keeps giving you a chance to keep us in it...you gonna keep crapping your pants?

[Tbonewannabe]

Alabama holds like hell

Holding at Bama is called "blocking"

[CadaverDawg]

**** you, Gary. You're a piece of garbage.

[Dawgface]

D is playing like big boys. Keeping us in the game.

[maroonmania]

The difference in the 2 punters has been HUGE so far today.

[BulldogBear]

Tight on offense I mean.

[War Machine Dawg]

Beni Brown is awesome. Now our offense needs to remove its head from its ass and play football. And Dan: #RTDF!!!!!!!!

[I seen it dawg]

RTGDMFFB!!!!!!!!!!

[Bothrops]

Alabama holds like hell

Yep all over the place

[starkvegasdawg]

Ok Dak. You're a heisman contender? Get out there and act like it.

[Tbonewannabe]

We are about to "Rocky that Bama ass". We have taken their shots and now we are going to start throwing punches.

[mstatefan91]

Screw all of you who are giving up on this game. I'm done with this site until the game is over.

HailState

[Air of The Dawg]

piece of work ain't he ?

[Quaoarsking]

It's really not as bad right now as people are making it out to be on this thread. Our defense will keep us in it

[CadaverDawg]

Dan needs to quit being "old Dan" and wake the hell up. He looks unprepared as a play caller for the biggest game in our history

[I seen it dawg]

They won't do shit against our def. They may finish with 5

[CadaverDawg]

Verne and Gary act as if they just can't wait to watch Bama kill us

[Tbonewannabe]

Josh Robinson runs but not very far. Really Verne 4 yards isn't very far?

[starkvegasdawg]

I love when bama runs for five yards it's a good play. We do it and we just didn't run very far.

[CadaverDawg]

They won't do shit against our def. They may finish with 5

They may win then, because we may finish with zero

[starkvegasdawg]

Our defense will be exhausted by halftime.

[Tbonewannabe]

That is a complete shit call on 3rd down.

[maroonmania]

Our offense looks like total and complete shit.

[Bothrops]

I wish I was in the press box so take the wires off those old ****ers and choke them with it.

[CadaverDawg]

Horrible. And Lewis is just not as good of a runner as Gabe. I'm disappointed in Mullen. Smart is making him look like ****ing amateur hour

[Delmar]

Getting our ass kicked in the punting game.

[BulldogBear]

We look absolutely lost when it comes to playcalling. Defense is gonna have to win this one.

[Liverpooldawg]

The difference in the game so far is punting, end of story.

[cheewgumm]

Dan needs to step up the playcalling.

[Tbonewannabe]

New punter wasn't much better than Bell.

[Negative Waves]

Bama' punter is the player of the game so far. He's killing us on field position.

[Dawgface]

Shit we can't run on this bunch either. Unless we can get a turnover or two deep in AL territory, we are doomed.

[codeDawg]

Why don't we just run power plays instead of all this misdirection shit? They are too fast and play assignments too well for that stuff to work. Let's run the ball at them, block some folks, and throw the football downfield.

[CadaverDawg]

I'm totally fine when we lose to a team that is just simply better than us....but I can't stand when we do shit to beat ourselves like safeties and piss poor play calling, and getting away from what we do best. This has been a terrible offensive gameplan. There's a reason Dan can't score on Bama, and it's because Smart owns his ass.

[Maroonthirteen]

Offense.... OL is getting whipped. So we can't run. WR can't catch squat. So no passing game. So frustrating.

[DLGDawg]

Shit we can't run on this bunch either. Unless we can get a turnover or two deep in AL territory, we are doomed.

To only be down 5 is a win right now. Hopefully we can get somn goin

[TopDog58]

Don Mullet has been exposed

[BulldogBear]

We are giving the sports media world what they want. We are doing nothing that anybody that broke this game down said we needed to do on offense to win. We are being cute. I am so dissappointed that our game plan was to surprise them with Jameon. We do exactly what we show presnap.

[msstate7]

I didn't take gumps serious when they claimed their experience in big games would be the difference. They were right so far. The stage is too big for us so far

[mstate68]

And now the defense cracks.

[CadaverDawg]

Well, we wasted too many offensive possessions, and now it will cost us

[Maroonthirteen]

1B..... Sigh

[CadaverDawg]

SECOND STRING DEFENSE!!!! Thanks Geoff and Dan. **** you both

[mstate68]

10-2 ain't too bad

[BrunswickDawg]

1bs

[PMDawg]

LOL at putting 1B in. Dan's back.

[Tbonewannabe]

Right now Sims is the best QB in the game.

[Liverpooldawg]

The difference is field position due to punting.

[GreenheadDawg]

1b defense baby!! Hell yeh!! Getting good reps**

[CadaverDawg]

We deserve to lose. This 1B shit is totally catching up with us like I knew it would eventually. It's fine when it's Kentucky, but you lose against Bama. We're done because our coaches

[Tbonewannabe]

I think Verne and Gary both blew their load on that long pass.

[CadaverDawg]

No pressure.

[Liverpooldawg]

The bad sign is the they are taking over on both sides of the line.

[CadaverDawg]

I'm so disappointed. We are choking as a coaching staff in the biggest game ever. Thanks a lot coaches. You have a ram that can get it done, and you're blowing it

[Tbonewannabe]

No pass rush right now is killing us.

[War Machine Dawg]

Well boys, it was a hell of a run. Our assholes are puckered so tight on offense we may not break the Bama 40.

[mstate68]

Lol this game is done

[War Machine Dawg]

Cooper 1-on-1 with a safety. How the **** does that happen?

[Liverpooldawg]

Some of you folks need to step back from the keyboard for a while. Sheesh.

[Tbonewannabe]

One on One with Cooper on the goal line is almost an automatic TD.

[maroonmania]

Oh great, Jay Hughes one on one with Amari Cooper. Ridiculous.

[CadaverDawg]

Ballgame. Way to allow the 1B's to **** us, Coach.

[preachermatt83]

our safety's are useless. Jay Hughes and Justin Cox are both awful

[codeDawg]

You can't put somebody on top of Cooper there?

[msstate7]

Zach Jackson again.

[PMDawg]

Man coverag with a safety. Haha. Getting outcoached so bad it's not even funny.

[DovaDawg]

Knew exactly where that was going and we could do nothing about it!

[TopDog58]

Oh well at least we were pretenders for 90% of the season

[Tbonewannabe]

Cooper or Marriota will win the heisman unless Dak has an unreal 2nd half.

[preachermatt83]

it's about to be a blowout. We will not score. Unless its a garbage td late. im calling 37-0

[I seen it dawg]

I never dreamed we would look this bad on offense. **** it I'm going to work in the yard.

[Tbonewannabe]

No one should be one on one with Cooper but if they are it better be Redmond.

[Liverpooldawg]

We have to move the ball some to get a little field position. The punting is killing us. That's the real difference folks. Look at where the drives are starting for both teams. They have been playing on a short field and we are inside the 20 for the most part.

[EdDawg]

Why the hell does Mullen not trust Robinson? He made a bad decision so what? We need him to win, give him the damn ball!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Gameplan:

Well, we're going to get Holloway some touches early and totally abandon the run game. We also want to get our second string defense some reps during the first half. Oh, and our punters didn't practice this week because they are awesome.

**** you, Dan.

[Air of The Dawg]

Cooper 1-on-1 with a safety. How the **** does that happen?

Great question. Bama = Sims to Cooper or Yelton, Sims to Yelton or Cooper over and over. 90 % of their offense

[I seen it dawg]

This is muther****ing bullshit what we are putting on the field.

[Dawgface]

Yep, game is over. I too am disappointed with the 1b shit. Our staff is dumb as hell to continue playing with that rotation in a game like this. But it really doesnt matter, we can't score. Game was over after the safety.
