38-14 should feel better than this but it doesn't. Maybe because it's Mississippi State (go fudge yourselves, Edam cheese cowbell ringing motherfudgeers). Maybe it's because the offense still looks handcuffed. I think we make a bowl, probably Belk. But are we really getting back to being a top team in the West? Arkansas will be a physical game. Ole Miss is going to try and lure us into a track meet/score fest. Vandy sucks. Alabama A&M is a free handjob. Maybe we get Georgia because they are in flux. Bama? Not sure we can score on those roid monsters. So we go 7-5 or 8-4 and where are we going? Most of the defense leaves. I don't know. Maybe I should drink. Or off myself.

Fuck. :facepalm:

We played two of the top 10 teams in the nation the first two weeks of the season... We went on the road and scored TOUCHDOWNS against an SEC opponent; albeit, a shitty one. For once, the direction of the team looks forward and that's nice to see.

I've been sitting firmly with my arms crossed in the "Fire Gus Malzahn chair" and even I recognized the AUSOMENESS of that win today.
And most of the defense leaves? I think two players from the d-line leave. We keep our linebackers. We keep Carlton Davis. We have a true freshman defensive end wrecking shit.
The offense might be starting to click.
Chin up, sissy pants (sorry for the language, Wes). It's going to at least be an interesting 2nd half of the season.

We lose Lawson and Adams. Keep most everything else important. Trigga Trey I think we lose too but not sure that's critical. This team is Young. O looked much better. We beat miss state like we should every year. And on the road. They came out amped up and so did their crowd. And we shut them up quickly even after an Int.
I'm cool with it. We could have made it 63-7. We didn't. It's a long season. Don't need to do anything stupid.

No, we took our foot off the gas and ran 36 like he was being punished.

Just remember we still want to win.
I can't ask for much more than that performance. Maybe I would have liked the gas pedal to have been pressed in the 3rd quarter a bit more but that doesn't matter. We dominated an SEC opponent on the road. Our offense ran the ball down their throat. Our QB treated their back seven like they were Arkansas State or LA Monroe. Our defense tackled hard, broke up passes, and pressured the quarterback.
If I'm honest, I still don't buy that we're headed towards a wonderful season. A lot of hurdles to jump but I feel better for this particular season.

This is a disturbing pattern with Gus/Lash...the 3rd Q slump. It's been pointed out before today...or even this season. It needs addressing. But....

Fuckin A, Cotton. They suck moldy taints, but we put it on they ass proper. That wasn't a Sun Belt team, or a rent-a-directional win. Those boys are members of the SEC-W.

We played a solid half. Did nothing in the second.
Not sure why Pettway was run into the ground when we need him for the games ahead. This is in response to him sitting out last week nursing an injury.
We have a very good defense under Steele.
Too bad we have to have Gus for a Head Coach because with Steele's defense and Gus running the offense we might be
undefeated.
"Head Coach" has to have an all out conniption fit when his money kicker takes a shot to the head no matter the severity.
Gamesmanship counts.
We can win nine but at our current level of play (60 minutes) we are closer to seven.

Oh I don't know to melt clock maybe? If we go three and out every series and only burn 90 seconds and give it back to them you guys would bitch about that too. Esp if state had made it 35-24 as a result. They knew they had the game won at the half. They simply needed to salt the clock away with minimal damage. Jesus H we blew an sec team out on the road. We could have hung 60+ if desired.

Oh so overusing Pettway is our only option. What does that tell us...the rest of the league?

In case you haven't noticed we were about 1 scholly player deep at Rb for this game. Would you guys rather have aired it out 30 times in the second half handing msu the ball every 2 mins? We get an off week now. Pettway is fine. CarryOn will be back for the pigs. We did what we needed to do to win the game and come out unscathed. May be the only game Pettway is asked to do that by himself.

You people make a real football man want to grab you by the pussy sometimes.
Listen to me. There is one team left on our schedule that is better than us. One.
Our defense is for real for the first time in forever. Offense is improving. We are getting dangerous and could conceivably have one loss left on schedule.

No argument from me. We are better talent wise than all but one. Our offensive line is coming along and we had a chance to carve up that secondary yesterday but passed. White has been deadly accurate and I like our chances the rest of the way, but we can't go in a shell, play around on 4th and short when in Legatron's range or go three straight dive plays out of the shotgun in the redzone without one pass attempt.
I wouldn't concede any game. I think Bert plays us tough. The Reb game might be a wild shootout, same for UGA.The Turd's are slow starters but if we can run up two scores on them quickly we might play inspired football the rest of the game and give ourselves a chance.
How's that for a positive perspective?

Got shot down. My daughter has a cheer comp that Saturday. Since I am supposed to be back in JoBurg first of November, I can't miss any more than I already am. This is her senior year. Next year I am showing up in AU on Wednesday with the RV and enjoying some AU time! I'll be there in spirit.

Back to OP. Are you trying to play Sancho?
Seriously I don't get it. When we were 1-2 and everyone was screaming for Gus's head you were talking about him being the man and that we will get our shit together. Now that everything has cooled down and we are 4-2 you are taking the opposite approach?
We already got a Kaos. What's with the flip-flop Hillary?

Feel for both of you. My wife has had a myriad of operations (spinal fusions, lumbar and cervical. hernia surgery. etc.). She adamantly stated that shoulder surgery was the worst one.
Hopefully your rehabs remain painless and go well.

I don't know that in the 3 weeks since 1-2 we've gotten all that better; the competition has played or is worse though. LSU was a mindfuck of a team when we got them and Kevin Steele is as much a reason we won that as anything. He knew Les was gonna try and lean on LF7 and so our dudes hunted him like a pack of Kaos' dogs hunt colored people on his property. The one and a half Sun Belt teams don't impress me. Monroe hasn't been good this year and Miss. State's defense couldn't close an umbrella.
And even if we are now "good enough" to be 7-5 or 8-4, is that really all there is to look forward to? Based on what I've seen, that's where we are and where we'll be. I guess I've allowed myself to believe there could be more but maybe there isn't. Maybe we are just Ole Miss with actual trophies.

And I at least look forward to seeing what happens. I was so disappointed after the start, I didn't really want to watch.
If we continue to improve on OL and QB, I feel like we are capable of a serious run.

Lsu was a much better team with etling than Harris. With etling they prob beat Wisconsin. We were just as much of a mess as them going into it. As far as identity and coaching hot seats. Statistics show we are much improved from that game on. And miss state front 7 had been a pretty good unit until we happened to them. That's the kind of game we lose in 2012 or even last year. But we didn't. We dominated it. Like we were suppose to.

I guess it always depends on what your aspirations were at the beginning of the year. I expected us to be somewhere around an 8 win team, which I would say so did the majority. I still see that potential and I do see us moving forward.
Whether or not we have gotten better I will say this Lash definitely called a good game this past Saturday and IMO thats a huge improvement. We weren't predictable, until the middle of the third quarter anyways. Defense has definitely taken a step forward. I hope Gus has finally realized and is finally making the proper adjustments.
I still don't get your flip-flop though. We are playing better regardless of the opponent and now you are down on him? What made you high on him before and now suddenly you are down on him?

Both sides of the ball are top 35 in yards per game. And Top 25 if measuring points per game.

A little something to help you feel better.....
http://www.espn.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/122136/at-the-halfway-point-auburn-looks-new-and-improved-and-dangerous
This was a pivotal season for Gus Malzahn and Auburn. There were question marks back in August, and nobody really knew what to make of the Tigers.
After Saturday’s 38-14 win at Mississippi State, most of those questions have been answered. It might have taken a couple of games, but Auburn looks to have finally figured it out as it heads into an open week.
Question: Who would be the quarterback?
Fans would have liked to have seen this question answered a little sooner. But after the quarterback carousel we saw Week 1 against Clemson, Malzahn and his staff have stuck with Sean White as their starter, and it’s paid dividends.
White was 14 of 18 for 204 yards and a touchdown against Mississippi State on Saturday. His lone mistake was an interception on a ball that should’ve been caught by Tony Stevens. The sophomore currently leads the SEC in completion percentage (69.7), and since the season opener, he’s completing 74 percent of his passes with six touchdowns and the lone interception he threw Saturday.
Aside from a late appearance against Texas A&M and mop-up duty the past two weeks, we haven’t seen much of John Franklin III. This is White’s team, and he’s growing more and more confident every week.
Question: Were there any running backs left who could carry the load?
In the offseason, Auburn went from having four capable backs returning to having just one. And that one, Kerryon Johnson, had very little experience and questions about his durability.
Through the first five games, Johnson was among the SEC leaders in carries (102), yards (517) and touchdowns (6). The sophomore did injure his ankle on the opening drive Saturday, but Malzahn expects him to return following the bye week.
However, Johnson’s injury paved the way for Kamryn Pettway, who proved Auburn has more than one durable back on its roster. Pettway carried the ball 39 times, the most since Tre Mason carried it 46 times in the 2013 SEC Championship Game, and finished with 169 yards and three touchdowns.
At this time last year, Pettway was battling for playing time at H-back. Now he's third in the SEC, averaging 101 yards per game.
Question: What would the defense look like under Kevin Steele?
This might be the biggest surprise, and it didn’t take a week or two to figure it out. The Auburn defense has been rock solid since holding Deshaun Watson and Clemson to 19 points in Week 1.
Coming off a game in which they shut out Mississippi State in the first half, the Tigers are now ranked No. 19 nationally in defensive efficiency. Carl Lawson is second in the SEC with six sacks, and fellow defensive lineman Montravius Adams has been just as disruptive up front. Adams even returned a fumble for a touchdown Saturday.
“Every week our defense has done something that’s the sign of a big-time defense,†Malzahn said after the game Saturday. “And every week, they answer the bell. I’m real proud of them and Coach Steele and our defensive coaches. They’ve got a lot of confidence.â€
Auburn has addressed concerns during the season, too.
After the first three games, the Tigers had more negative plays (32) than any team in college football. On Saturday, the offense was picking up big chunks on first down like it was nothing. They found a rhythm that was reminiscent of the 2013 group that finished second in the SEC in points per game.
Auburn beat LSU despite not scoring a touchdown. The offense went five of six in the red zone with five field goals. In the two games since, they scored on nine of their 10 red-zone trips with eight touchdowns and one field goal.
“We’re getting better,†Malzahn said. “Our team knows it. Our coaches know it. We’ve got to continue to do that. Very few teams in college football actually get better throughout the year, and we’ve got a chance to be one of those teams.
"I feel good about where we’re at.â€

Lashlee called a very good half v. State.
I want to see us get both backs healthy at the same time and start putting two consistent halves together. And if we can do that with our defense making stops who would want to play us...who?
*Takes three whos to be owl-like.
-
Word on the streets is Carl Lawson ain't shit. And ain't never been shit. Anyone hearing this?
-
I don't "know" that we're much better but I certainly believe that we are.
And I at least look forward to seeing what happens. I was so disappointed after the start, I didn't really want to watch.
If we continue to improve on OL and QB, I feel like we are capable of a serious run.
Right there with ya. After the Clemson game I was shocked at how bad the offense looked, but the defense did make me feel a little better and I thought then, if we could just get a little more production out of the offense we could still be pretty good. Felt a little better after we curb stomped Arkansas State, then aTm came...was right back to where I was after the Clemson game, if not worse, because aTm is not as good as Clemson was and we looked like shit on offense again. Then I felt better after the LSU game, just need to work on the red zone a bit more, then we stomped the shit outta ULM and Mississippi State scoring a lot of TDs in the red zone...I'm feeling a little better about our team than I did before the season. Imo, we need to keep the OLine as is, and allow them to gel, because it's a stronger one than we had the first 3 games, except for Right Tackle Robert Leff (he's pretty weak). So, continue working with the 5 that we have now and continue working with Sean White helping him to see the open receivers a bit quicker (that comes from studying film, knowing exactly where all of the receivers will be before the ball is snapped, and where the defenders will be based on their alignment & tendencies).
-
I still don't get your flip-flop though. We are playing better regardless of the opponent and now you are down on him? What made you high on him before and now suddenly you are down on him?
Here's the thing. I'm not saying we should fire Gus. In fact, I still think that is a stupid idea. I defended him because I believed three games wasn't enough to make that kind of judgment. Six games in, I have a better sense of where this is going and it is going towards the expect 7 or 8 wins. What do we really know? We know Mississippi State is really bad. We know we would dominate the Sun Belt. We know the defense is improved enough to keep us in games so ,AU E we don't have to have a great offense anymore. What I'm saying in the OP is I'm struggling to come to grips with the thought that 8-4 may be the ceiling here with the current configuration of the SEC?

Word on the streets is Carl Lawson ain't shit. And ain't never been shit. Anyone hearing this?
Have heard but werd from the peanut gallery is that Cowart is some sort of victim to politics because Marshall has family working at the school.
The other side of this could also be that Cowart might not play the run so well or is not performing up to Steele's overall standards.

Here's the thing. I'm not saying we should fire Gus. In fact, I still think that is a stupid idea. I defended him because I believed three games wasn't enough to make that kind of judgment.

8-4 might be the ceiling but aside from Saban's "process" we know when Auburn has a legit defense and can run the ball we can play with anybody in 'murica. Combine that with an accurate QB and a talented albeit raw receiving corps and we are back in the hunt, not necessarily contenders for the SEC West but the team others fear.
That might not be enough consolation but we got off to a rough start and the A&M outcome can't be changed any more than the LSU loss of 2013-'14. That team grew better game by game and it was a fun ride. We didn't play two halves in the finale but maybe having Gus overseeing will remedy that tendency.
Not the type to pump sunshine but we have all the elements coming together for a damn fine season.

Fighting golfers elbow, I get a shot in my elbow on Thursday. :jaw:
And I can't make it.
Mine was so bad I thought I was going to have to quit playing. I couldn't even do simple things like lift a glass it hurt so badly. Then I got one of those bands you wear on your forearm. That thing works. Wear it when I play and while I've still got a little soreness from time to time, it's 10000000 percent better.
I'm wearing that and a copper sleeve on my knee. Both work really well.

You know, I've tried all sorts of moisturizers. I even went fragrance free for a whole year. Now my sister, she uses some kind of aloe vera with a little sunscreen in it, and ideally, we should all wear gloves when going to bed, but I found out that that creates a kind of an interference with my... social agenda, you know what I mean.

I haven't played a full 18 in over a month. I went out yesterday with a guy who played 9. I had my sand wedge and putter only, No problems while wearing this but a little sore today.

I haven't played a full 18 in over a month. I went out yesterday with a guy who played 9. I had my sand wedge and putter only, No problems while wearing this but a little sore today.
I tried several different types of sleeves. None worked.
But that armband? Life changing.
I'd gotten to where about six or eight holes in I'd alter my swing because of the pain. I'd start out hitting drives 220-250 and by the second nine, I was down to 160-180 because I was holding back.
Armband? I hit one 264 on 17 last week.
On the few occasions I get sore, I've used a gel ice pack that straps to my elbow. Works great too. About half an hour of ice and I don't have any other problems.
