Looks like a rainy day in the Magic City. Good...keep the ball on the ground and play keep away from Lynch.

Very good point. Memphis has a shitty D. This may play into our favor big time. Run run...fucking run it. And make them do the same. WDE

Sean White named the starter.
GF's skreetz remain impeccable.

That was a one helluva kickoff!

So when your team sucks and your bowl sucks, you have to listen to the bull dyke...

Yay! Another fucking field goal. The 823rd of the season.
You know, it's not even necessarily the fucking offense that needs fixing, it's the fucking red zone offense. If we convert half the fucking field goals into touchdowns this year we're looking at nine or ten wins.
I can't watch this any more.

The rain is causing us to slip off our blocks?

Can somebody e-mail this to somebody on the offensive side:

If this bitch says "Aaahbern" or "An Tap" (instead of on top) or really much of anything else.... I might have to drive to Birmingham and stick my remote control down her throat.
I fucking HATE her voice.
Yes. Still watching. Even as I say I won't.

Of Auburn's 16 Redzone Field Goals this year, 9 were inside of the 10 yard line.

If you were a commentator and you were told you had the b'ham bowl, would you do any research?

No shit. Both of them are saying "Aaahbern". Oh, and I didn't know Shaq Williams is on the AU football roster.

You do if you don't want to continue on commentating the Birmingham Bowl types.
D is still looking pretty good.
.....and still stupid ass offensive play calling.

Gotta have more wildcat.

Well. That question has been answered!

10-3 in the second quarter is not a score I expected. D playing good, flying around the ball. O doing what they did all year. Look good early then start running stupid shit that kills drives.

Also, Jovon Robinson running like a hellbat so he must be benched. :puke: #GushLee

How in the hell does Auburn's punter have more passing yards than Sean White?

Well. The OC has just been reaching into a bag and calling whatever he pulls out.
Sad really!

How stupid is Gushlee!

And now he has less interceptions. :facepalm:

Who called the pick 6? We need to eliminate that play.

We are pathetically disjointed!
Play calling/coaching has created a shitty offense.

When does Barrett show up? Hope he doesn't change his mind and the money's guaranteed.

Halftime grades.
Defense: A
No glaring missed assignments, playing with energy and focus.
Offense: D
Same baffling lack of consistency. Same frustrating lack of confidence. Same tendency to do something stupid and derail a drive. Same inability to get a push up front. There's no swagger. No determination.
I love examples, so I will use myself. Over the summer I played the best round of golf in my life in Arizona. Shit came together on the second hole and every shot I took was damn near perfect. Drove two par four greens. Dropped a six-iron second shot on a par five to within four inches. Convinced I'd figured out the game I came home and tried to replicate. Overswung and yanked the first drive into the trees. Sliced another one. Flubbed a third. Tried to adjust. Barely broke 100. Outthought myself. Started going to the range every day trying to figure out what I was doing, why I couldn't play like I did in Arizona. Was I holding the club too tight? Too loose? Was I too tensed up? Too relaxed? Got to where every time i stepped up to the tee I'd try to be positive, but all I could think of was how badly this was about to go. Almost three months of playing like I'd never seen a golf club before I put the sticks down for two weeks, cleared out my brain and just went back to letting my natural instincts take over. Only go to the range if something "feels" weird. Haven't come close to scoring like I did in Arizona, but I've gone back to being consistent. I'm not smashing balls out of bounds. Not chunking three woods or blading irons.
That's what Auburn's offense (and our coaching staff) looks like to me. I spent a lot of time looking at my clubs, looking at my hands and wondering why they betrayed me. The more I tried to fix it, the worse I got. Gus needs to unpucker. Have fun again. The look of befuddlement on his face is the same one I know I had when I rocketed that drive hard left and hit a house.

This motherfucking bitch and the clown in the booth with her are consistently missing plays while they babble about inane shit that is only peripherally related to the game.

Roc got his one jet sweep. He retired now!

Problem is hes never really played a full season. I would personally want that if I were him. Does he or the NFL think he has the goods to produce over a 16 game season? No one knows.

Fifth round money > learning yet another defense at Auburn for "free"
-
Leading 17-10 late in the 3rd quarter amazes me. If this guy (Memphis QB) is the best bet in the draft, there is no QB draft this year. This guy sucks.

Well, this is the best the AU has played all year, IMO. I think that has something to do with it.

We are getting good corner play so far.

We start the 4th Quarter in the redzone with a 7 point lead. Foot on the throat. Let's go!
-
Holy shit. Pick a QB and stick with him.
SW can hit the middle routes to loosen up the defense for JR. Leave him in.
Or put JJ in and let him run the option with screens.
But PICK ONE!

Nearly 13 complete games of the '15 season...still no clue who the QB is, or any offensive identity. It's really bad when the goddamn PUNTER has the best looking pass among Auburn's QBs. Here's a idea, put the Punter in at QB. Can't be any worse than the shit show on offense right now.

Remove the choke from the Mossberg and you'll get plenty of spray.
-

I tend to agree with the Simp. Its a little that, but the D decided to also show up for the good guys. Best game theyve played all year. Great combo.
Id be ok with Thompson at DC if this is any indication. We will win this one despite 3 TOs. I'll take it. Bookend the year with a win, and move on from this season....

If ive told her that once, ive told her that a 1000 times.

You are a bit jaded. This is another case of shitty play calling.
SW is good at what he does. The plays called on the INTs were not even close to his strength. Granted he did a shitty job, but since then he has done a really nice job delivering the ball.
Once Gushlee pulled their head out of their ass and started calling a game more suited to SWs strengths, the game turned. Like Stan White said, dude is a bit rusty.
If we can get JJ to learn how to be a runner, we could have a potent offense.
We have the talent, we need to figure out how to coach that talent!

Three 3 and outs and a pick in 2nd half for Memphis up till now.

yeah a D playing well will have a little to do with that. Memphis isnt self imploding. Our guys are playing very salty if you watch closely. Playing with fire. Although I would imagine here towards the end we will be giving them a lot of underneaths and go into prevent.

Should check with our offense, they have that scheme down.

It has been an odd combination today. With Cass, we got a lot of pressure. After losing Cass, there were times we got zero pressure, but had great DB coverage.
I can't remember the last time we had the front end and back end in sync like that.
Maybe LT is the answer.
But losing Lawson will make a big difference!
-
Memphis really misses Justin Fuente. Their offense looks totally lost. Reminds me of the Nallsminger we went with in '03. The pieces are there, the plays are the same, but the play calling and rhythm are as off as Alex Van Halen.
-
Did Steele accept the DC job or is Thompson still in play?
-
AU wins.
AU wins.
AU wins.
31-10.
Still have no idea who we are offensively.
I know what I would like us to be, but I'm not sure these coaches are in tune!

Lawrence stepped up.Holland also had some pressures.Garrett probably had his best game. Allowed the secondary to do its job.

Maybe some. But without those 3 Turnovers, we walk away to the tune of 45-3.....you think he was really THAT much of a difference? I don't. Thompson called a lights out game on D. 200 total yards given up. I don't care who the head coach is.....Lynch is the #1 Draft QB for a reason. And we shut him down. Proud of the guys. Good way to end the year on a high note. Although I know the debbie downers will still complain about it being the Bham Bowl....but would you rather LOSE the Bham Bowl? This game was essentially a blowout, esp once we quit making dumb mistakes. Check the stats.

Yep. Defense held the opposition to 3 points.

I really really hope AU promotes Thompson. The whole D played so much better but the AU DL was blowing shit up all day. Also, I thought the timing of schemes Thompson was on target. Just looked like an Auburn defense inspired even with it being the Bham Shit Bowl.

I have mixed emotions. I never, ever want to lose but...
1) I have a nagging fear that Gusettlee will see this game as vindication of their plan. We did move the ball better. We didn't settle for field goals. But this was Mem-fucking-phis. They give up points. Only three teams failed to post 20 or more against their defense. Six scored at least 30. What I saw on offense was far too dysfunctional, way too confused, entirely lacking in identity and confidence. An "improvement" won't cut it.
Unless....
2) We played so much better on defense that there was no real comparison to anything we did all season. This was a team that averaged 43 points per game, put up 37 on Ole Miss, broke 50 against Tuberville. Th only time they were held to under 20 points was in a 12-point effort against a Top 25 Temple team.
Their quarterback averaged 14-yards per completion, hit 70% of his passes. They averaged 324 yards passing and 185 yards rushing per game. Auburn shut them completely down. Rattled the first rounder. Intimidated the receivers. Hammered running lanes closed. We challenged them from the jump, something we haven't done in years. We conceded nothing, something we haven't done in years. It was, honestly, something I haven't seen an Auburn defense do in.... well.... since 2008. I kept expecting it to break down, fall apart, come unglued. Like it does. But it didn't.
So that leaves a question. If that was an audition for Lance Thompson, he aced it. He did so while speculation swirled about another guy coming in. How do you keep a guy who showed that much one-game promise happy? Do you swallow your "win the press conference AD smarm" and promote the guy or do you keep looking for the splash?
I keep thinking about where we've been. Pat Dye was hardly a press conference smash when we hired him. Nobody was shitting their pants when we hired Wayne Hall. I don't recall a splash when Chizik was brought in.
It puts us in a quandry in my mind. Is what we have good enough? Could we, instead, look for an energetic promising LB or DB coach and let Thompson call the shots?
On another note:
3) Damn Legion Field was pretty full. There is NOBODY at the Belk Bowl. You could take your entire family and have a whole section to yourself. The Bulldogs do not travel and just don't have a big enough fanbase to entice bowls. It's sort of shameful really. They just need to stay home.
-
Just got back and scanned through this thread.
A. That twatter thread had exactly shit to do with Lawson staying or going.
2. Play calling and mistakes in the first half killed momentum and kept Memphis around. Second half, Auburn big boy'd those bitches and wore them out. Auburn and the SEC in the house.
C. Screw Memphis "playing bad". The defense flew around and tackled like we haven't seen in several years. Three Harumphs to that whole unit.
Last. They's some negative, bitchin' mofo's here, no matter what happens.
31-10
-
1) I have a nagging fear that Gusettlee will see this game as vindication of their plan.
I really dont think they will. They know this year was a bad experiment. And were just trying to salvage what was left, trying anything. We treaded water, and end the year on a high note. Recruiting the two dual threats tells me that Gus is aiming to go back to his bread n butter of a running QB/Zone Read and using the HUNH/Rhythm/Pace to wear D's down.

Im glad he's picking a philosophy he thinks will work now that the JJ experiment failed. He's still a young coach and he needed his time.
Watching the way the players fought for Lance Thompson today made me proud too. They were in position, hit hard, and communicated well. I sure as hell hope Steele has a spot on his staff for Thompson.
-
I really hope Jovon Robinson doesn't jump to the NFL after this year.
He would stumble and fall.
-
Thrilled to have a solid win.
Would be even happier if Gushlee would stop trying to get cute with that shitty wildcat business.
Best 4 quarters of defense I can recall.
-
He would stumble and fall.
He has the Ontario McCalebb disease, atleast he falls forward for a couple extra yards.

This almost has to be a cousin or such kin of the Ga Tech QB Reggie Ball that we didn't recruit/ beat us.
Both from Stone Mountain, GA.

I have met Snagg's wife. She wouldn't do that to him. At least, I don't think she would. Would she?
How much is a gently used ball going for now?
I will punch you in the forehead so hard.
