Iron Bowl

[RocketDawg]

It might as well have its own thread.

Auburn playing inspired football at the moment.

[PikeDawg15]

This is how most iron bowls go when auburn has no chance.

Auburn plays great defense for a half , then gets worn out cause the offense can?t do anything and they end up losing 38-13 or something like that

[RocketDawg]

Classic targeting on that play. His coaches were letting him have it too.

[Maverick91]

All these bad tackling is due to the lack of practicing on it. So stupid what the ncaa has done to practices.

[MetEdDawg]

I grew up an Auburn fan before I went to MSU. Now I hate both teams and it's difficult to figure out who I want to lose.

I really freaking hate Alabama and I'm so damn tired of them. But we recruit and compete more with Auburn than we do with Bama. And they've got some absolute stud recruits on campus today.

But damnit do I hate Alabama.

[chef dixon]

Bryce Young is so mediocre, product of the program

It's easy to develop a distaste for both teams, living in the state. Oddly enough, there doesn't seem to be all that many Auburn fans up this way.

[RocketDawg]

He's certainly not as advertised.

If Alabama loses this game, they'll have to fire Saban. Losing to their rival ....

[chef dixon]

He just plays soft. If things are going good he will pile it on. They need him to make some plays right now.

[Maverick91]

State needs bama to lose. They will get the Sugar bowl and not pissers.

[Commercecomet24]

Be interesting if auburn wins that would mean we beat both teams that beat bama but we got whipped by bama. This year in the sec has been about as unpredictable as any in years.

[Commercecomet24]

Bryce Young is so mediocre, product of the program

He's definitely not what bama has had at qb in the recent past.

[BeardoMSU]

Someone check on Tusk...

[RocketDawg]

If Auburn beats Bama, does OM go to Atlanta? I don't think so, but I'm sure somebody's gone through all the scenarios.

[Commercecomet24]

No bama has the tie breaker because they beat om.

Bama already in secg

Every team in the SEC west was ranked at one point this year except LSU and they were Top 30 and receiving votes in the Top 25 for the first half of the season.

[Commercecomet24]

Every team in the SEC west was ranked at one point this year except LSU.

Been a crazy year but I like it better this way. A lot more fun watching games that are competitive and not all blowouts

[TrapGame]

Someone check on Tusk...

Probably out checking the Christmas lights on his double wide.***

Look, it's not rocket science, Rocketdawg. ***

[Commercecomet24]

This game right here is showing why so many are excited about Leach and his offense. Auburn has shutdown bama run game and their lost. When you face sec dls you have to be able to throw it to win cause they will shut down the run game as they have against us in the past. Being able to throw It well gives us a much better chance to win against the elites. And I'm
not saying you don't run the ball
I'm saying you pick your spots and this offense lets us negate other teams elite dls when we run it right

[msstate7]

Bryce Young is so mediocre, product of the program

I disagree with this. There is no qb that plays well under intense pressure (6 sacks, uncountable pressures). He's made some dumb decisions (that int), but auburn is all over bama's receivers. Auburn is playing unbelievable D

[Turfdawg67]

7 has a man crush on most college QBs... except ours, of course.

[Homedawg]

State needs bama to lose. They will get the Sugar bowl and not pissers.

Not if they get spanked again next week they won't. And they will.

[Cooterpoot]

SEC football is down big this year. As bad as I've seen in a long time.

[Commercecomet24]

SEC football is down big this year. As bad as I've seen in a long time.

And still better than the rest.

[Cooterpoot]

And still better than the rest.

I don't know. It's very questionable this year. Losses to Penn State, Memphis, Pitt, UCLA, and GA barely getting by Clemson. I could throw Vandy in but they don't count, lol.

[msstate7]

SEC football is down big this year. As bad as I've seen in a long time.

Well, everyone wants parity, and this is what parity looks like minus Georgia. You aren't gonna have teams elevate to bama most years and Georgia this year, so parity is those teams coming down to the level of others

[Cooterpoot]

Well, everyone wants parity, and this is what parity looks like minus Georgia. You aren't gonna have teams elevate to bama most years and Georgia this year, so parity is those teams coming down to the level of others

And teams like OM win 10 games

[R2Dawg]

SEC football is down big this year. As bad as I've seen in a long time.

This is true. Most teams are meh but all are pretty even minus UGA.

[parabrave]

Not if they get spanked again next week they won't. And they will.

Sugar gets SEC runner up or highest ranked if both are in the CFP

[Homedawg]

Sugar gets SEC runner up or highest ranked if both are in the CFP

I thought the sugar could take the highest ranked. If I'm wrong. Thanks for the correction... just read the sugar bowl info says sec rep if not the champion, is the highest ranked team. Which would be ole miss if bama loses this one and sec champ game.

[msstate7]

It is amazing this is the same defense that we made look like a HS team.

[Commercecomet24]

I don't know. It's very questionable this year. Losses to Penn State, Memphis, Pitt, UCLA, and GA barely getting by Clemson. I could throw Vandy in but they don't count, lol.

I watch all the conferences and it's still the best football here. Deeper and better and we'll see in the bowl games again.

[Vandownbytheriver]

Bama out here flopping like LeBron.

[Catfish]

So what bowl do you think we'll get?

[klong-dog]

Texas, Birmingham, Liberty, possibly Music city or Belk... if that's still the name of it

[Maverick91]

State athletic admin has got to do something. One thing auburn does really well is have attractive student sections easy to see from the cameras. We have got to:
1. Remove that fat student with his shirt off, from being right in front of the camera in States student section.
2. Do our sororities go to our games? If so, why are they not front and center so that when the cameras pan to our students they see a bunch of attractive females?
3. A lot of people in here complain about our faculty section being empty can we not relocate that section closer to our students and give it to the sorority groups? It would a really bad advertising to have the main student that is seen being that big guy that is right in front of the camera.
4. There has to be something done. For next year, if I was a girl �� t wouldn?t make me want to go to state and if I was a guy? same thing.

[msstate7]

I hope we play Clemson in music city.

[Catfish]

When will we know?

This is what you get when OM grads run ESPN

[Cowbell]

It is amazing this is the same defense that we made look like a HS team.

Exactly what I was thinking. How did we block these ends?

[msstate7]

Alabama getting screwed lol

[Irondawg]

Wow what a break for auburn with the roughing the passer after the int

[Cowbell]

Bama must be past due on their ref bonuses

[Irondawg]

Imagine of our DL had Hall and Young - finished 2nd for both as I recall

[msstate7]

Finley (granted he's hurt) is trying to will auburn to a loss, but they just keep making plays

[Maverick91]

This is what you get when OM grads run ESPN

Lol?. Well I don?t think we help ourselves. And it?s not just ESPN it?s every network we play on at home.

[RocketDawg]

Alabama getting screwed lol

Yeah, they've been the victim of some questionable calls for the first time ever.

[CaptainObvious]

Well Auburn does one thing better for sure. They know what it means to protect your Home Field in a Rivalry game. This should have been a much bigger Miss-match than the Bowl of Egg. I guess it is just another game for State, instead of a Game against your hated rival.

[RocketDawg]

Don't you really feel sorry for these sad Bama fans?

[RocketDawg]

If Auburn would've had the ball, that would have measured as a first down.

[RocketDawg]

Isn't Finley supposed to be wearing knee pads with the uniform covering them?

[Irondawg]

Wow.

Just wow

[Bothrops]

Ole Miss co-champs?

[msstate7]

I hate 4th and 1 runs up the middle. If I'm running, I like a pitch outside

[RocketDawg]

Ole Miss co-champs?

They lost to Bama. And Auburn. So I don't think so.

[msstate7]

Ole Miss co-champs?

And auburn beat them both.

[Bothrops]

They lost to Bama. And Auburn. So I don't think so.

I forgot the Auburn loss but didn't think it mattered

[msstate7]

They lost to Bama. And Auburn. So I don't think so.

Tie breAker is just for who goes to Atlanta only. OM would be co-champs

[Commercecomet24]

Ole Miss co-champs?

The sec does not recognizing co champs because there's a tie breaker you're either champs or second place

[RocketDawg]

I forgot the Auburn loss but didn't think it mattered

I don't think it does other than just being a conference loss.

[IMissJack]

Absolutely, but we have to get the DL and LBs to get real pressure on the qb also. We are usually a step short of getting there.

[Bothrops]

The sec does not recognizing co champs because there's a tie breaker you're either champs or second place

That makes sense but I thought I remembered a sign somewhere

[RocketDawg]

The sec does not recognizing co champs because there's a tie breaker you're either champs or second place

OM will probably make a banner anyway - kinda like UCF won the national championship a couple years ago. :) Really though, they had a good team this year.

[Commercecomet24]

Absolutely, but we have to get the DL and LBs to get real pressure on the qb also. We are usually a step short of getting there.

I agree completely. We have to upgrade our pass rush for sure. I was speaking more from an offensive standpoint for us

[RocketDawg]

This game's not over yet.

[Commercecomet24]

This game's not over yet.

Yep bama driving

[msstate7]

Yeah, young sucks

[RocketDawg]

Unbelievable ending here. Wonder if Saban will go for 2.

[msstate7]

Unbelievable ending here. Wonder if Saban will go for 2.

Nah, auburn offense is dead

[Irondawg]

Go for one with the way au offense playing

[Coursesuper]

Derrick Mason is a dumbshit!

[Vandownbytheriver]

Got away with a huge push off there.

[mparkerfd20]

Auburn is stupid with clock management. Lost game due to horrible clock management.

[Commercecomet24]

There goes the om banner lol

[Lord McBuckethead]

Got away with a huge push off there.

Bama, par for the course.

[BeardoMSU]

Tusk is frantically trying to put out the fire he set with all his house furniture.***

[Bothrops]

There goes the om banner lol

Lol

[Vandownbytheriver]

Bama, par for the course.

Yup. It wasn't even like it was close. He extended both arms and pushed the Barner out of the play. No one on tv is mentioning that though.

[msstate7]

Auburn is stupid with clock management. Lost game due to horrible clock management.

Unfortunately, bigsby didn't stay in bounds.

[Commercecomet24]

Unfortunately, bigsby didn't stay in bounds.

Yep just a brain fart. Gotta just slide down there

[Saltydog]

Just a guess here but is it safe to say Bigsby isn?t a Rhodes scholar?

[msstate7]

Now in the unlikely event auburn scores a td, you definitely go for 2

[RocketDawg]

Auburn totally blew this game.

[Commercecomet24]

Just a guess here but is it safe to say Bigsby isn?t a Rhodes scholar?

Probably lol. Hate It but he cost them the game.

[Vandownbytheriver]

Auburn totally blew this game.

They got some help from the refs on that last last drive. Several missed holds, an intentional grounding and an offensive PI. Refs took over .

[msstate7]

I can't believe the heart I'm seeing in auburn after the collapse they had vs us

[RocketDawg]

Auburn totally blew this game.

Not yet. See if they go for 2.

[msstate7]

Holy shit. What a game

[RocketDawg]

I can't believe the heart I'm seeing in auburn after the collapse they had vs us

It's because they're playing Bama.

[IMissJack]

Why is everyone’s backup kicker better than any of ours?

[Bothrops]

Unbelievable game. And one of the camera dudes likes'em a little young

[DownwardDawg]

Unbelievable game!!

[Cooterpoot]

This game shows why rivalries mean more.

[RocketDawg]

Safe to say that Auburn won't have a QB keeper.

[msstate7]

Now in the unlikely event auburn scores a td, you definitely go for 2

^^^ harsin blew it

[RocketDawg]

Wow - great kick.

[Irondawg]

Wow must be nice to have a backup kicker who can straight drill a 49 yarder

[msstate7]

Glad this game won't end on a BS short fg

[RocketDawg]

Finley has played a very courageous game.

[Bothrops]

This game shows why rivalries mean more.

Not everyone gets it though.

[msstate7]

I wish we had guys that always seem to get an extra couple yards after contact like bama

[msstate7]

Finley has played a very courageous game.

I thought he was done.

[Irondawg]

Announcer curse on the fg kicker

ETA - he hit it despite the announcers trying to jinx him

[Irondawg]

Not sure why young refuses to scramble since he does have good speed - there have been some big running lanes if he wanted to take off

[IMissJack]

Wow must be nice to have a ?????-kicker who can straight drill a 49 yarder

FIFY

[DownwardDawg]

FIFY

Hell, even a 38 yarder.

[msstate7]

I love throw backs to te as 2-pt conversions

[DownwardDawg]

Ok, this OT is some weird shit.

[Irondawg]

I didn?t think he was going to make it when he caught it

[RocketDawg]

Nix might be physically more capable of playing than Finley.

[Irondawg]

Wow - kudos to Bama. They had to earn this one

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Throwback to TE to gain 3 yards? I love the creativity, but it shows how broken this offense is that they need to dip that deep to get a 3 yard play. Bama shows a play and runs it after a timeout because they know even if you've seen it, you can't stop it

[RocketDawg]

I can't believe that Auburn let Alabama win this game.

[msstate7]

Now in the unlikely event auburn scores a td, you definitely go for 2

^^^ this was the mistake. You do that te throwback in first OT to win it. Bama is much better offensively, so you don't prolong game

[Saltydog]

They?ll have to earn it next week too! Hope Kirby stomps that ass!

[Bothrops]

This loss will have a lasting effect on that team.

[Coursesuper]

I can't believe that Auburn let Alabama win this game.

They unzipped it and stepped on it.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Well, damn. I feel for Auburn they showed a lot of resilience. This Bama team is still soft, they are somehow less than the sum of therir parts. Bad OL and DC coaches -maybe a dash of resting on their laurels- is probably the cause.

At least we get to see UGA whip that ass, cause that ass is getting whipped

[BeardoMSU]

the biggest winner in this game? Tusk's dog, the sheetrock in his house/trailer (do they put sheetrock in trailers, or just sheets of cardboard? Idk...), his flat screen tv, and his '89 Mercury Cougar....all of which have avoided kicks, punches, and fire.**

[Cooterpoot]

This, and wanting the sec championship to be playoff qualifier is why I don't mind bama winning. I hate auburn just like bama

OHHHHHHHHH SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTT Snapppppppppp yep. TUSK you gonna let Beardo talk to you that way????

A&M is wearing our purple uniforms tonight. Don't understand why ESPN can't get the colors right on camera.

[RocketDawg]

He's going to have a hard time explaining it to his insurance agent - but the agent is probably a Bama fan too.

I don't dislike Auburn as much as I dislike Alabama. You'd be the same if you were around their arrogant fans constantly.

[LC Dawg]

This sets up perfectly for some kind of Saban miracle next weekend. I know you'll all scoff at it but he's the mother****ing master.

[msstate7]

I think Georgia is better. That said, I'd that line is +7 bama, I'm betting on bama. Smart has found ways to blow certain wins to Saban

[BeardoMSU]

LOL ... and you think all that didn't suffer max abuse during the game??

Since it's Tusk, I have faith that he only allowed his anger to consume his lawn furniture. The rest of the fanbase though....

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Beardo again.

[dawgday166]

I don't dislike Auburn as much as I dislike Alabama. You'd be the same if you were around their arrogant fans constantly.

I'm with you. You got Cam bullshito on one hand but Bama fans are about as bad as it gets.
