It's Meltdown Time...

With another week of college football in the books, we have yet another edition of Meltdown Time. This week is a bit of a shorter edition than last week's column, but this one one is still loaded with absolute gems. Read on and enjoy meltdowns from Auburn, LSU, Georgia, and Ole Miss.
And as always, the language can get bad. If you are in any way offended by strong language, do not read any further. You've been warned.
And without further adieu, ladies and gentlement, it is meltdown time:

We stunk it up today, but what I'm still fuming about is the home cooking officiating. I don't know when I have seen such one sided incompetence.
Worst DL in at least 15 years if not not pre Dye. No push and no pass rush at all. It's not just today either. They might as well not even be out there. Completely useless.
Has Auburn ever had a worse defense? I have been watching games since 75 and cannot think of one that is as bad as this group. I blame Roof mostly and not the players. I think we have the talent, just not the coaching. Still don't understand why Carter and Fairley don't play more, they at least have a chance of getting to the QB.
How quickly will Chizik pull the trigger on Roof?
I HATE and I'm sincere...I HATE uat!!! However this is one of the best Alabama teams I have seen. I'm not sure anyone outside the NFL can bet them........

Worst offensive playcalling in the history of LSU football. That was a sad sight to see. No wonder we can't get a 1 yard gain on 4th and 1 when we throw maybe 1 deep pass the entire game! Why let Russell Shepard play at Georgia and not at LSU against a #1 ranked Florida team? What did we have to lose when we had 2 yards offense in the 2nd half until late in the game??? Whoever was making the play calls, be it Miles or Crowton, should be tarred and feathered.
Rate Les Miles performance as the HC tonight. I'd give him a 0.
-1.
had he stayed home and let the team just go out and play sandlot style, the score would've been near the same and LSU and thus the state would've saved a shitton of cash.
God damn PLAYSTATION PLAY CALLING On the Field.
even if miles was fired. would you have any confidence in the current administration to hire the right guy?
hate to bring this backup, but I was hoping Miles would go to Mich in 2007 after they luckily won the NC, I wanted RR to be his replacement, then you would have seen some fireworks with all the playmakers LSU has.
Fla. is light years ahead of us. Alabama and Fla will rule the SEC for years to come.
I didn't see anything tonight to disuade me from that awful thought.
We may score negative points against Alabama.
Finally this LSU team got the loss it deserved. Zero offense because of shitty shitty coaching by Les Miles & Gary Crowton...Should've lost against a crappy UGA team...Zero offense against a good team equals no chance at victory.
Nice coaching job Les Miles....Nick Saban is going to wax your ass.
I HOPE WE LOSE ALL OUR GAMES FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR JUST SO HIS DUMB STUBURN arse IS FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, but this is the first of a few defeats. This O will not beat bama or ole miss. Say what you want, JJ simply isn't ready. You hate to keep harping, but how does R.Shepard not get into this game. One reason, LES MILES.

Bama and UF will be in the SEC championship game for years to come
So I became that guy. the guy who has screamed at the television for the last 3 hours. the guy whose friends look at him like he is nuts. the guy who is told its only a game. yep thats me and im proud of it.
tonights performance was absolutely terrible.
im drinking myself into a coma and calling it a night
glad i didnt pay the money to watch that garbage
Same here. It's like watching the materialization of the gradual decay of LSU football under Miles.
I threw my shoe and dented a trashcan
luckily I didn't throw it at something more breakable (I'm at work)
I'm surprised I didn't have a stroke or burst an artery.
Our dog is still hiding under the bed.
I am telling you now, we are looking at a worse year than 2008. The lug nuts are loose and the wheels are about to come shooting off. Lose to Auby, Bama, Ole Piss, and Arky. who does that leave. Oh, it does not matter.....
Until we lose to Auburn in 2 weeks? Our offense is beyond pathetic. I can't honestly see myself watching the Bama game this year. I may go to a movie and just see what the score is afterwards. Saban will make our offense look more comical than this evening. (if that's possible)
Curly Hallman > Les Miles
LSU was bitch slapped tonight and outcoached. Our talent is on the same level as UF...its just that none of the 10 plays the coaches called worked. At this rate I think we will be outcoached by the Chiz, by Saban (no surprise there), and most likely by the Razorbacks. Our coaching staff has no clue, and this head coach was hired by someone who had no business being an AD.
I always thought Florida State and Miami were graveyards of talent. Now I realize, LSU is slowly reaching that status. Why top recruits still want to play for us, is beyond me.
I guess LSU can sell instant play time...because LSU hasn't evaluated...or better yet, coached their talent for shite. Lets stack RS type players on the team to let them ride the pine because Miles likes sucking Seniority dick!
Who Else is Missing Saban's influence? I don't miss the man, but his influence around the program has slipped out of our grasp
And him rebuilding a shitty program into a national powerhouse and is doing it to another recent shitty program.
Yea, I miss him. A lot.
I enjoyed watching Bama today. reminded me of SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. press coverage, blitzing, touch defense, sound fundamentals and technique,
makes me upset to know that was once us
I don't remember LSU ever being as good as this Bama team
Shit, 2003 LSU still lost to a Zook UF team
I think that most of us suspected/feared what would happen to LSU on the day that Saban went to Bama.
We knew that it might just be a matter of time, but, we've been hoping against hope that our worst fears are wrong.

FIRE MARK RICHT!
It. Is. Done.

So good to hear after all the “Saban is overrated, he’ll never beat Miles, Bammer’s time is done” when he was hired.

From LSU…
I think that most of us suspected/feared what would happen to LSU on the day that Saban went to Bama. We knew that it might just be a matter of time, but, we’ve been hoping against hope that our worst fears are wrong.
From UGA…
god i was just thinking that, its so hard to watch BAMA, like watching how we used to be until CWM and CMB came around….BAMA is proof that COACHING makes all the difference in the world!! We get the same number of3 and 4 and 5 star recuits….
From Ole Miss…
The best team won today. We could play them 10 times and they would win 10 times. Our coaches just have to adjust and win the ones we can and take our lick on the others…..
These are not my favorites because they’re the funniest or the most despondent, but because they recognize the strength of our program under CNS. Just last season LSU fans were vociferous in their support of Less Miles…they’re so quiet now….

LSU quote...
I remember when Saban was hired, telling all of my LSU friends that in 3 or 4 years, they are gonna be wishing they had Saban. They would say “Nah, man nah man, we dont need him” “Ya’ll can have the sloppy seconds”… I said yes, i’ll take sloppy seconds… and you will see… Im so glad you found this quote!

Of all these schools
UGA is having the biggest meltdown. Ole Miss has lost for so long they know how to lose and go on with it. Auburn knows they have a new coach. LSU still thinks they can beat Bama and go to ATL.
But UGA has come to the realization that they have recruited great but they are a bad team. And, there is nothing they can do about it because they really can not fire Richt until after the 2010 season if then and he, like Shula, will not fire his sorry staff. The Dog Nation realizes they are slipping back into the middle of the SEC pack and for some reason they actually think they should be at the top. I mean just 14 months ago they were talking NC and now they might have a losing season and lose to Tech again. There is much weeping and nashing of teeth throughout the state of GA.
I hate the NCAA more than UT & AU combined. At least with UT & AU you got a fighting chance.

….could be doing much better with the talent he is drawing, no doubt about that. But like you said, until he shakes up his staff, he’s only as good as Bobo and Martinez, and neither one is going to get it done for him.

I can’t believe a real Auburn fan wrote this:
We are not a good football program – not a bad football program. We made a mediocre hire as our head coach, so all that we can hope for are mediocre seasons like 7-5 and 8-4.
We will never win a championship under Gene Chizik – and we should all just accept that. There is no reason to get too excited over a 5-0 start…just like there is no reason to get upset over today’s total meltdown against Arkansas.
We’re going to get to 7-5 or 8-4 every year under Chizik…go to an okay bowl game…but that’s what we signed up for when we hired Chizik. Maybe we’ll get 9 wins in a season, but we’re going to be behind Alabama and LSU when it comes to competing for the SEC West.
It’s just the way it is…and it’s okay. We just have to accept and keep a very level head about who Auburn is under the leadership of Chizik. Let’s just hope that the powers that be decide that’s not good enough in the next 3 or 4 years.
What’s really ironic about the above quote is that the only difference between the way this fan described Chizik and Tommy Tuberville is Alabama on probation.
Oh, and this was pretty funny:
with a brand new Doogie Howser coach.
No FSU Meltdown?? They must be pulling out their Bobby Bowden voodoo dolls and backing over them with their cars at this point.

One game at a time........
I am still waiting for that game where we fire on all cylinders. In the 4th quarter of Arkansas, it felt a little like that, but only because of that three-score swing in a short period of time across the half. Mean Green doesn’t count. This Saturday is a chance to get clicking against a decent team, and get tuned up for the Vols. If anything, the Vols showed up known weaknesses of the Barners, but they also reminded us that, on any given Saturday . . .. For all this meltdown sturm und drang, which is fun to read, I have zero expectation that LSU will roll over. And I doubt the Iron Bowl will look the same as last year.
Damn, that Ole Miss scoreboard shot is great.
