[I seen it dawg]

Let's play fast no reason to hold back.

Hey rebels enjoy your bowl game and Akers going to FSU. Click an ad you ****ing shitbirds.

[Coach007]

I want to see the defense be lights out. I'm looking for improvements.

[Reason2succeed]

I'm concerned about the secondary.

[TheRef]

I want some good momentum going into next season.

[FISHDAWG]

sounds like Dan wants to impress the chicks and throw downfield today

[RC3]

If we can establish the run, we should win handily. But having a few injuries up front gives me concern

[pdawg10msu]

Anyone know how I can watch the game via internet? I don't see it on watch espn.

[GreenheadDawg]

Anyone know how I can watch the game via internet? I don't see it on watch espn.

It's the first game on my app.

[preachermatt83]

I'm anxious to see where Jenkins is playing. He is so much better on the interior.

[starkvegasdawg]

Got to get my traditional game day sausage dip going soon.

[msstate7]

I'm anxious to see where Jenkins is playing. He is so much better on the interior.

Rankin and senior are playing, right?

[preachermatt83]

Rankin and senior are playing, right?

Think so but rankin has been gimpy

[defiantdog]

The game starts with a no call block in the back on the kick off

[preachermatt83]

Kicker say he ain't skered

[starkvegasdawg]

Need a stop early.

[Dawg61]

I've never seen fake turf in worse shape than this mildew shit we are playing on.

[Bdawg]

Hear a few bells on tv!!

[starkvegasdawg]

Glad to see our secondary is still shit.

[maroonmania]

News flash, our defense is still REALLY bad.

[msstate7]

We're so bad defensively.

[preachermatt83]

Nick James just got blew off the ball

[AROB44]

So glad to see the bitching start so early*******

[ElectroDawg]

The misdirection is killing us on this drive

[preachermatt83]

Richie was just covering air. Air has a tough time against Richie. He tackles it all the time... now he's covering it against the pass

[msstate7]

How do you hit their qb with 4 guys at the 3 and him end up at the 1?

[preachermatt83]

Who was Mullen just chewing out?

[starkvegasdawg]

Why did we have to call a TO? Watch the fake here.

[preachermatt83]

We bent but didn't break. Mullen is gonna be pumped. Lol

[Red Sox Dawg]

Held them to a field goal, better than a TD

[starkvegasdawg]

So glad to see the bitching start so early*******

It's our specialty.

[Dawg61]

Who was Mullen just chewing out?

Looked like Sirmon from the brief 2 seconds they showed

[Bothrops]

Looks like they are gonna mix it up a good bit.

[maroonmania]

So glad to see the bitching start so early*******

Tremendous red zone defense! There, is that better?

[DudyDawg]

This turf is embarrassingly bad

[AROB44]

Hahahaha....

[civildawg]

Who just saw that sign? Starksville

[starkvegasdawg]

Take the free 25.

[Goldendawg]

Let's see if we can make any adjustments on D after that awful showing on their first drive.

[Dawg61]

Can someone explain to me how this dome has allowed water leakage all over the field causing it to stain/soak the turf please. What an embarrassing shithole we are playing in today.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Holloway stops and tries to make a move on every return, he needs to just keep running.

[Matt3467]

Nice to see our powerful downhill runner Holloway in the game today

[preachermatt83]

Nice pass fitz.

[preachermatt83]

10 men in the box. We gotta be able to throw the ball.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Well that was quick.

[msstate7]

10 men in box and we run

[starkvegasdawg]

Defense better have had their balls drop on the sideline and be ready to play now.

[maroonmania]

Entire first series with NO read option plays?? Our coaching staff always continues to amaze.

[Coursesuper]

This looks like the team that lost to south Alabama.

[civildawg]

I hope that is holloway's last series. He literally kills drives because we can't run the zone read correctly

[preachermatt83]

Dear has lost weight.

[Matt3467]

I'm actually surprised it was aeris and not Holloway up the middle

[Red Sox Dawg]

Defense needs to step up and get a turnover here

[defiantdog]

Our offensive line got destroyed on that drive. One of their DTs looks like he's about 5 feet tall as well.

[archdog]

Stall because we screened it to Holloway? Yeah maybe.

[preachermatt83]

I hope that is holloway's last series. He literally kills drives because we can't run the zone read correctly

I agree, however The only zone read play we ran was the 3rd down play and that was ATrain.

[msstate7]

Dear has lost weight.

He looked faster on that screen

[Bdawg]

Holloway stops and tries to make a move on every return, he needs to just keep running.

Exactly! Once u stop momentum is gone. He does it every time. Just pick a hole and hit it!!

[HoopsDawg]

How do you run it on 4th and 3, get 2 yards, and then not go for it?

[TrapGame]

We look like the Keystone Cops on defense.

[defiantdog]

Another missed block in the back

[HoopsDawg]

Looks like we are doing a version of the 1a/1b stuff.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Linebackers are getting taken out of every play

[lamont]

Dan Walsh ladies and gentlemen

[preachermatt83]

Jamal peters is gonna be special.

[msstate7]

That was a hell of a pass.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Good coverage by Peters, gonna be a good cb

[Bdawg]

Peters on him like glue there

[msstate7]

That was a hell of a pass.

That wasn't

[starkvegasdawg]

Dammit Gray.

[HoopsDawg]

Good coverage by Peters, gonna be a good cb

Yet, he didn't start. Maybe he missed curfew or something.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Good stop Defense, now let's see Nick run.

[preachermatt83]

Exactly! Once u stop momentum is gone. He does it every time. Just pick a hole and hit it!!

Again, I agree but he didn't run the ball on that drive.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Again, I agree but he didn't run the ball on that drive.

No, he caught a swing pass and stopped running and was tackled for a loss

[preachermatt83]

Yet, he didn't start. Maybe he missed curfew or something.

Neither did ATrain but he will get the majority of the snaps... so will peters.

[Dawg61]

How do you run it on 4th and 3, get 2 yards, and then not go for it?

Cause that'd be a turnover on downs

[I seen it dawg]

Miami is ****ing horrible. And we are gonna **** around and not run the football and be dogshit today.

[preachermatt83]

No, he caught a swing pass and stopped running and was tackled for a loss

Yea but OP referred to zone read

[maroonmania]

Looks like we got the scrub crew for announcers.

[msstate7]

Wow

[Reason2succeed]

A TRAIN

[Red Sox Dawg]

A Train!

[maroonmania]

There goes the A Train!!!

[starkvegasdawg]

Dammit that's how you play. From now no that's how we play.

[preachermatt83]

UConn fired their coach. Maybe Matt Balis will come back.

[Dawg61]

Dan Walsh ladies and gentlemen

can you compare him to someone from this century so we can relate

[Red Sox Dawg]

Yea but OP referred to zone read

I know, just clarifying

[I seen it dawg]

Run the ****ing football!!!!!!!!

[War Machine Dawg]

Dammit, Mixon. Gotta have that one. You were wide ass open.

[preachermatt83]

Beautiful pass. Gotta catch that.

Geez two drops in a row.

[Bdawg]

Again, I agree but he didn't run the ball on that drive.

Was talking about kickoff return

[Reason2succeed]

Holloway on pass pro! Haha!

[starkvegasdawg]

A power run for 17 and three straight passes to follow.

[TrapGame]

Our OL is getting blown up.

[War Machine Dawg]

Run the ****ing football!!!!!!!!

+1

But Mullen Gonna Mullen

[Goldendawg]

Mullen to UConn










Air State or it that what they are forcing us to do?

[Red Sox Dawg]

Miami is way more emotional than us. This is big for them. We better wake up and play harder.

[I seen it dawg]

**** you mullen with your ****ing dogshit game plan. Run the ****ing football. Miami is ****ing terrible. This is ****ing garbage.

[defiantdog]

I can't wait for Ritchie Brown to be done

[EngDawg]

RTGDF

[msstate7]

We can't tackle

[Red Sox Dawg]

Our OL is getting blown up.

So is our D Line

[Maroonthirteen]

One coaching staff is doing everything to grab an early lead and momentum. The other is handing out participation trophies and working on the passing game.

[Reason2succeed]

Tackling is optional

[defiantdog]

Brandon bryant still sucks

[starkvegasdawg]

This is an embarrassment.

[HoopsDawg]

Fletcher Adams getting a lot of PT. Looks like he needs to add some weight.

[maroonmania]

They just look like the better team right now. Anyone predicting us to win 8-9 games next year probably needs to pump the brakes a bit.

[msstate7]

Bryant back-2-back missed tackles. Abrams, Cole, and landrews are sending BB to JSU

[preachermatt83]

Fletch Adams getting some snaps

[Dawgface]

Welp.....Miami looks like the better team.

[HoopsDawg]

Not going for it on 4th down was the WRONG call. You can't convince me otherwise.

[preachermatt83]

Leo has really good closing speed.

[TrapGame]

Ritchie Brown is in a haze. He's missed three big tackles that I've counted.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Will someone tell Sirmon that their TE is a big part of the game plan

[preachermatt83]

I can't wait for Ritchie Brown to be done

Amen

[War Machine Dawg]

Will someone tell Sirmon that their TE is a big part of the game plan

We haven't covered a TE in years. Why start now?

[starkvegasdawg]

Miami is running our offense instead of us.

[defiantdog]

Cory Thomas got knocked about 5 yards off the line there. Wow

[Red Sox Dawg]

Wow this defense struggles with everything

[Reason2succeed]

Their coach looks like your children'S stepdad

[Goldendawg]

Leo Lewis came to play, rest of our D, ?????

[HoopsDawg]

Bryant back-2-back missed tackles. Abrams, Cole, and landrews are sending BB to JSU

I can't see Bryant starting next year.

[TrapGame]

Not going for it on 4th down was the WRONG call. You can't convince me otherwise.


YEP!

[Dawgtini]

Looks like we brought the early season D. Guess they wanted to dust it off one last time. Sigh

[Coursesuper]

Fletch Adams getting some snaps

And still isn't a D1 football player.

[civildawg]

Early season? You mean the whole season D? They've been terrible all year including the egg bowl

[starkvegasdawg]

Looks like we brought the early season D. Guess they wanted to dust it off one last time. Sigh

South Alabama says that team looks familiar.

[Cloak]

Let's go Dawgs!!! Still think we win and cover..I may be a little biased.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Gotta get the offense rolling and out score them because our defense isn't getting it done

[TrapGame]

These damn ten o'clock games. ***

[Red Sox Dawg]

Peters makes another play

[starkvegasdawg]

That's the break we needed.

[msstate7]

And still isn't a D1 football player.

Lol... dude's a RSF and had offers from really good schools, but doesn't even belong at a sun belt school? Jeez

[Cloak]

That's definitely a fumble

[starkvegasdawg]

Now. Run the football.

[Goldendawg]

Recent interview on 24/7, Bryant bragged about his improvement and leadership, mentioned how good the young players behind him were, and hoped the incoming JC players could add some depth. He may be in for a rude awakening next year unless Dan does his upper classmen always start deal in 2017.

[War Machine Dawg]

Now #RTGDF, you asshat! Stop this Air Raid bullshit and trying to prove you're God's gift to offensive football.

[preachermatt83]

Peters forces the fumble!!

[QuadrupleOption]

LOL

Two players folks just trashed made a play.

[Bothrops]

And still isn't a D1 football player.

This has been the biggest disappointment for me. This guy was a war horse in hs, and could have gone anywhere.

[starkvegasdawg]

17 me.

[chef dixon]

Glad we are led by a top 25 SEC football player!

[DudyDawg]

I wish we had turned this invite down. As if the atmosphere wasn't embarrassing enough none of our players give a shit.

[defiantdog]

Participation game..... we aren't playing our strongest players.

[War Machine Dawg]

Geebus we suck. No emotion or fire today. Just going through the motions. And this dog shit offensive game plan to top it off.

[civildawg]

Can we get Miami's DC?

[Goldendawg]

Shump for one. Let's get everyone a participation trophy.

[TrapGame]

No passion on offense. Maybe Williams but that's it.

[I seen it dawg]

This is so ****ing horrible. **** you mullen. Let's not do any of the shit we just did in our best offensive game of the season. Let's go back to early in the year. You ****ing dolt.

[msstate7]

This has been the biggest disappointment for me. This guy was a war horse in hs, and could have gone anywhere.

Redshirt freshman... he was undersized to start with, but extremely undersized in 3-4. Give him time

[HoopsDawg]

Now. Run the football.

Key possession there and we come out with Shumpert.

[preachermatt83]

What is Mullen doing???? Why is ATrain not running the ball???

[Maroonthirteen]

Participation game..... we aren't playing our strongest players.

Yep. Rewarding seniors and working on the passing game.

[TrapGame]

Shump for one. Let's get everyone a participation trophy.

Dan is treating it like a scrimmage.

[maroonmania]

I wish we had turned this invite down. As if the atmosphere wasn't embarrassing enough none of our players give a shit.

That's a BS excuse. Any 5-7 team fortunate enough to get into a bowl ought to feel like they have something to prove.

[Jacksondevildog]

So tired of Holloway and Shumpert. Just makes no sense.

[Reason2succeed]

Participation game..... we aren't playing our strongest players.

It's a pee wee football egalitarian offense. Let everyone touch the ball especially Shumpert and Holloway.

[defiantdog]

Now #RTGDF, you asshat! Stop this Air Raid bullshit and trying to prove you're God's gift to offensive football.
Is Aeris injured or something?

[I seen it dawg]

All of this is on the offensive game plan. Can't stand to just run it.

[Dawgface]

Williams made a hard nose run a couple of series ago and has he touched it since?

[TrapGame]

I hate it when we look like a short bus team.

[ILOATHEBears]

This is so ****ing horrible. **** you mullen. Let's not do any of the shit we just did in our best offensive game of the season. Let's go back to early in the year. You ****ing dolt.

This game plan feels exactly like south Alabama. Pass happy when we should be running A Williams and fitz but no we trot out Holloway and even shump. Damn.

[I seen it dawg]

Is Aeris injured or something?

**** no. He trucked a guy and hasn't touched it again.mullen stupid as ****

[Coursesuper]

Lol... dude's a RSF and had offers from really good schools, but doesn't even belong at a sun belt school? Jeez

No he does not, he is s classic tweener, to small to play inside not quick enough to play on the edge, not enough speed to stand up. Just because a kid has stars means doesn't mean he can play.

[Red Sox Dawg]

No pressure on their QB

[parabrave]

OK Mullen you got Holloway and Shump their obligatory carries now just run AW till his legs drop off.

[bulldawg28]

Fire Peter Sirmon

[HoopsDawg]

We get no pressure on the QB. None.

[War Machine Dawg]

Is Aeris injured or something?

Nope, he ripped off a 17 yard run already. Just Mullen being Mullen. He's gotta prove he invented football and whatever he wants to do will work.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Our defense is so 17ing bad

[defiantdog]

Who's worse at tackling? Brown or bryant?

[Goldendawg]

We never see the zone read in practice. Ragland rips a run up the middle.

[Bothrops]

We're making Miami of Ohio look like a good Auburn team.

[starkvegasdawg]

It's pissing me the 17 off seeing Miami run the offense we should be.

[DudyDawg]

That's a BS excuse. Any 5-7 team fortunate enough to get into a bowl ought to feel like they have something to prove.

It's not an excuse. I don't think any 5-7 team should play in bowls.

[preachermatt83]

We have got to establish the run with Fitz and ATrain. If Mullen don't do that then we will lose to another awful team

[starkvegasdawg]

Even the tv crew saying Mullen is an idiot.

[msstate7]

No he does not, he is s classic tweener, to small to play inside not quick enough to play on the edge, not enough speed to stand up. Just because a kid has stars means doesn't mean he can play.

Bama, Georgia, auburn, Florida, Louisville, Miami, mizzou, and OM offers. None of those programs are as knowledgeable as you though.

[gtowndawg]

Pathetic. Way to get the team prepared Mullen. Nice job.

[bulldawg28]

Fire Peter Sirmon...and play the right defenses with the right personnel.

[Dawgface]

We suck. I hope those extra practice reps helped the freshman for next year. Otherwise, looking like an embarrassing bowl loss.

[TrapGame]

Even the tv crew saying Mullen is an idiot.

Mullen has been a glittering jewel of stupidity today.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Welp, heading to the auto parts store

[msstate7]

Who's worse at tackling? Brown or bryant?

Brown... he gets more practice

[Goldendawg]

No pressure on the QB and no coverage across the middle.

[Red Sox Dawg]

This QB is carving us up like a filet mignon

[defiantdog]

We suck

[TrapGame]

Our coaches standing around and Miami's coaches in players' faces and yelling per announcers.

F*ck this.

[War Machine Dawg]

And Peters get burned on the TD. Dude has NO hops.

[EngDawg]

...lead to a defense getting too tired to effectively execute.

[starkvegasdawg]

Would I rather watch this abortion or go swat mosquitoes on a deer stand?

[msstate7]

We suck... there's no doubt, but I'm telling you the sec is about to get its clock cleaned this bowl season. The sec is really poor this season

[DudyDawg]

We are about to finish 5-8 but everything will be roses bc we kept that bowl streak. Awful.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Wow, this one has the looks of a loss so far. If we don't respond here it's not going to be good

[I seen it dawg]

We knew they were gonna score some. This shit is on the offensive game plan. **** you mullen

[War Machine Dawg]

Would I rather watch this abortion or go swat mosquitoes on a deer stand?

That's a tough choice. I f'n hate skeets.

[Dawgology]

Our defense needs to make a whole sale coaching change. It's laughable

[preachermatt83]

Our kids don't want to be playing football. Period. They wanna be back on the beach doing the freakin cha cha.

[Reason2succeed]

Okay now they should have our attention. Can we go ahead and start playing our game now?

[EngDawg]

We suck... there's no doubt, but I'm telling you the sec is about to get its clock cleaned this bowl season. The sec is really poor this season

Agreed

[Dawgology]

Peters was just like "**** it, I'm not even gonna try to knock that one down".

[Maroonthirteen]

Well......Dallas plays tonight.

[Bothrops]

This is bullshit effort by our players and coaches. Totally embarrassing.

[TrapGame]

Nice Holloway!

[Goldendawg]

We look like a 5 - 7 team that lost to USA, KY, and has had a constant turnover of D Asst. Coaches. Add in a know it all, stubborn HC who doesn't play his best players. Looks like he plans to make Fritz a pass first QB in 2017 also.

[preachermatt83]

We have zero points... this is not on defense it's on offensive game plan. Geez guys. Don't be dumb.

[FISHDAWG]

I will trade 2 Sirmons for 1 Heavesy

[Cloak]

I think once we get some points on the board, the flood gates will open

[War Machine Dawg]

We look like a 5 - 7 team that lost to USA, KY, and has had a constant turnover of D Asst. Coaches. Add in a know it all, stubborn HC who doesn't play his best players. Looks like he plans to make Fritz a pass first QB in 2017 also.

Who's Fritz?

[preachermatt83]

Oline still sux.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Their defense is tackling well

[msstate7]

We have zero points... this is not on defense it's on offensive game plan. Geez guys. Don't be dumb.

They have over 200 yards and turned the balk over inside the 15. Our defense is playing horrible too

[preachermatt83]

This is what we need to be doing. Three or 4 yards a pop with Fitz and ATrain is fine.

[War Machine Dawg]

Finally going back to Fitz & A-Train. And we're having some success. Imagine that.

[Goldendawg]

Took dropping behind 9 to start running the ball.

[preachermatt83]

I really like Fitz. ATrain even when he is hit at the los still falls forward for 1

[Red Sox Dawg]

Wow

[War Machine Dawg]

Catch the damn football!!!!

[preachermatt83]

2 freaking drops for gray. Thought he loved the jugs machine.

[DudyDawg]

Let's be the Texas tech of the SEC

[preachermatt83]

And we just abandon the run. Idiot Dan.

[War Machine Dawg]

El oh el, these announcers talking about FG range for us.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Not our day

[Goldendawg]

Fitz not Fritz, a typo.

[War Machine Dawg]

And we just abandon the run. Idiot Dan.

Mullen gonna Mullen.

[mparkerfd20]

This team will not win 5 games next year. Mullen you suck

[War Machine Dawg]

Not our day

Because our coach is being a dumbass.

[gtowndawg]

Ha ha, yeah, let's get mad at the ref for being in the way. That's the problem today...right.

[Lance Harbor]

No one for State remembers how to catch.

[starkvegasdawg]

Why did I expect we'd show up like we cared today? This is an abomination.

[HoopsDawg]

Embarrassing performance. And Miami is doing everything they can to shorten this game. We need to get some tempo going. And LOL to the idiots who tried to tell me we Gray is better than Ross. You know who you are.

[preachermatt83]

The Miami board is even wondering what is wrong with our play calling.

[starkvegasdawg]

Ha ha, yeah, let's get mad at the ref for being in the way. That's the problem today...right.
He's catching as well as our receivers.

[Goldendawg]

Is Ross playing today?

[bobcat91]

We are getting our ass whipped on both sides of the ball. Embarrassing

[Leroy Jenkins]

It's 2:00am here and I stayed up for this?

[Liverpooldawg]

Unmotivated team vs a motivated one. Hopefully that will change.

[preachermatt83]

Mclarin with a nice play.

[preachermatt83]

Good job D.

[War Machine Dawg]

Hoyett wants to be there. Play his ass if he's fired up. We need guys on the field that want to be out there.

[preachermatt83]

We need to run the freaking ball every single play this drive.

[Dawg61]

It's 2:00am here and I stayed up for this?

not too late to still get drunk

[Matt3467]

Say what you will about play calling but it's more of an effort issue. While I don't agree with some of the plays it's the drops and horrible decisions by fitz on offense that's really dragging us down. Fitz should have two interceptions right now.
