Another week of great college football action brings us yet another great week of the meltdown time column. Last week may have been a short short on size, but we come back with a bang this week. This edition of meltdown time brings us great joy from Auburn, Arkansas, Nebraska, Texas Tech, and Miami, and we touch upon such great topics as Bammer conspiracies, crystal meth, coaches getting fired, Osama Bin Laden analogies, QB's committing suicide, taking dumps on Kyle Field, and killing Aggies in bonfires. It's a hoot, plain and simple.
And as always, you know the usual disclaimer. The language gets very rough, and if you are in any way adverse to reading / hearing that sort of thing, don't read this thread. And now, without further adieu, it's meltdown time...
Even if we beat them [Furman] there's no guarantee we'll get a bowl bid looking this bad, and I'm not sure we deserve one.
THANKS TO JAY JACOBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somewhere... CTT is lighting up a cigar with a $100 bill and lying on a bed full of money that AUBURN PAID HIM TO LEAVE.
Lowder is the crypt keeper or the Osama Bin Laden of the group that controls Auburn athletics. Kill the head and the org dies
We fired CTT for this?
5-19 was such a good idea at the time..
I'm tired of the Mickey Mouse offense... I think the DC's around the league have figured it out.
I fear there might be another 5-19 record on the horizon. Terrible offense, and a terrible defense, getting worse each week. I guess I am a gloom and doomer, but thats just the way I see it. Hope I'm bad wrong though.
I miss Daniel Cobb
I've been attending Auburn football games for over 50 years. I thought last year's team was the worst I'd seen. Maybe so, but this one is very close.
Tuberville's "Character Recruits" are starting to hurt. It is obvious we are a pieced together team with many players starting that wouldn't crack the 2 deep on other great SEC teams.
we are absolutely awful. i honestly don’t know who’s to blame more…..i don’t think malzhan is to blame for the offense tonight, i just don’t think we have any fucking talent, especially at QB. hell earlier this year i loved todd, but he is gone. has no confidence, no arm, no decision making ability, and no talent. put tyrik rollison in now. get him some experience. todd is too shitty to be playing in the sec.
I think last year's team just quit - but this team is just poorly prepared and just looks lost out there. The game planning and in-game adjustments (or lackthereof) is frustrating. I just wish this new coaching staff would put Caudle in there...put Lutz in there...and start working towards 2010. 2009 is dead...assuming we beat Furman, we'll have our cherished PapaJohns Bowl bid.
First it was the WWF, then NASCAR. Now college football, every week bammer gets calls to save the game for them, while Auburn's getting attacked by the refs from the 1st to the last whistle. The last 3-weeks Alabama's game was on the line around the 8 minute mark when the refs made a call that sealed the game for bammer. This crap's getting old.
The zebras have hammered Auburn for three straight games, and while many calls were earned, just as many were bogus--and much more destructive than the earned ones. That is unprecedented in all my years of watching SEC football. The very fact that the SEC office all but admitted corruption by saying the "call wasn't there" last week in the Ark -FL game (and then suspending the refs), convinces me of the obvious--the problem is conference-wide, if not NCAA-wide. In this day and age of hard times and economic insecurity, there are many obvious motives to tamper with the games. The most hard to believe motive, however, sould be that in our case the Red Elephants DO NOT WANT AU to succeed with what might be an incredible recruiting class. Call me whatever you want. I don't give a damm, but I've never seen such purposeful calls AGAINST a specific team, and would say so if the target were Alabama or Tennessee. And while you are riding your high horse and shouting "bl;ack helicopters," stop for just a moment to explain to me why this has been going on the past three weeks. One thing's for sure, no matter how you do it, put early legal pressure on a team and in a game of talented athletes critical plays, and you can orchestrate outcome. It' ain't, as they say, rocket science. Alabama may well be the only program in the country that would go so far, but when you have them on retainer, they might as well earn their $$ when you aren't playing. Again, I don't give a rat's rear end what anybody thinks, but this is new ground even for SEC refs.
The testicular fortitude of this team was left in Gainesville. will someone please send a plane and bring it back because we are going to need it the rest of the year.
How long do we have to wait just to be competitive? I hate to wonder, but am starting to wonder if we will ever be competitive.
6-6 and a trip to the Weedeater Bowl is not progress.
This is one of the most dissappointing losses I've ever witnessed.
Sometimes you just wonder why you were cursed to be a Hog Fan. I know being patient is hard to do but after a broken hand last week, I figured I needed my other to work with this week so it wasn't worth it. But it got me thinking....how much heartache can one fanbase endure...it just seems like it's always a downer with the hogs, and yes we have our moments but it got me thinking during the game...was I destined for a short life when I was born a hog fan...because if this keeps up Im gonna have lots of broken hands, heart attacks or a stroke from the high blood pressure....just some thoughts as I try to stay calm....
We got whipped by HDN. He outcoached us. Never thought I'd live to see that.
OM embarrasses Petrino twice infront of the world. OM is his SMU. Way to many drops, we were open all day, and didn't make the plays should have had a other 17 to 20 points on the board easily. Petrino needs to get it going. Embarrassed twice by the banished one is embarrassing.
This is the most embarrassing lost in NU history.
Shawn Watson and Barney Cotton need to be fired and stabbed with cocktail forks.
fuck beer
I'm going to start doing meth
For the first time ever... I have taken down all of my NU stuff. Being a Husker in Texas is usually fun and even a lose can be brushed off with, "We were just one or two plays away from..." or "We'll be okay. Next week...".
I am honestly embarrassed of this team right now. We lost to ISU at home!
Every Saturday I blow up an 8 ft tall L'il Red, put flags out on the garage, car and garden. No more. Not this year. We are a joke to everyone in the conference. Baylor should be licking their chops right about now.
The past doesn't mean $chit to anyone. This team is a has-been and a long way from meaning anything to anyone. Each week this year I have complained about the polls and how far we drop. I was wrong. Everyone has us figured out. We don't mater to the landscape of CFB.
Bo screwed the pooch
If I didn't know any better I'd think Bill Callahan was still coaching around here
Worst case scenario came true.
We lost and the future of the program didn't even see a snap. Why does every other freshman on this team get their shot during crunch time, as Cody watches?
Unfreakin' believable.
This back to the Frank years. Don't react until everything bad than can happen, has already happened.
Bo Callahan.
At some point Bo needs to figure out that he's a HC and not a DC. If he doesn't, it's going to cost him his job just like it did to Callahan. In all honesty, what is so different between this year and BC's last season except for the side of the ball that we are inept?
If the tech defense were a condom, we’d all be pregnant
I suggest everyone change their shirt and underwear and get another drink. It’s the least we can do.
THEY ARE NOT GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need Doege. Potts seriously is not a Div I caliber QB. We are here because our offense read "Potts" can’t deliver today.
Games like this are exactly why the press never, EVER gives us the benefit of the doubt. Ever. And they shouldn’t.
WHAT THE FUCKING HELL PIECE OF SHIT O LINE POTTS GO FUCKING KILL YOURSELF
Kansas is going to clean our clocks.
Defense you trying to get the crowd going? motherfuckers you had two and a half quarters to get the crowd going
Fuck the Aggies. I'll shit in the middle of Kyle Field right now.
Before today the opponents A&M has defeated had a combined 3 wins. It is freakin’ Armageddon.
wow... glad this wasn't televised.
I CAN’T BELIEVE WE ARE LOOSING THIS FUCKING GAME. sorry about the language.
even the kids are crying... seriously
Fuck me running...
Let's get DRUNK!!!!!!!!!!!
I still think the bench should build a bonfire and maybe aTm would perish in the flames. then we can by at least 30
TAKE OUT SPILLER’S KNEE.
OKAY WHAT THE FUCK IS OUR PROBLEM!
I NEED TRANQUILIZERS!
3rd and 11 on the 25 or something like that, with the game on the line AND THEY FIVE UP A GOD DAMN TOUCHDOWN
What it took UM 30 years to build, Urban will do in less than 5 years...STFU Shannon lovers.

There are few truths in an uncertain world but here's one
If Auburn is losing Bammer is cheating.
by JR01 on Oct 27, 2009 8:14 AM CDT reply actions 1 recs
That comment...
…was fantastic. Alabama is paying the referees to cheat Auburn out of a win against LSU (a game they were never in anyways). This is despite the fact that if Auburn beats LSU it pretty much gives Alabama the SEC West. You cannot talk to an Auburn fan right now without hearing about how Alabama should not win “x” game. They barely want to recognize they have a program.

2007 Alabama
That team is now the model for every program who has a new coach. Both Auburn and Tennessee are almost guaranteed to be near Alabama’s 7-6 record, and both are thinking they are exactly where Alabama was two years ago. Both programs are going to be looking at the recruiting, which will be better, and seeing the same comparison. What they will not be looking at is a proven coach who has plan and an ability to go out and turn around a program. Tennessee and Auburn do not have that.

Maybe
UT, and thats a big maybe, but certainly not Auburn. Alabama was in every game in ’07. We beat a good Arky team, almost beat UGA in OT, blew out UT, escaped Ole Miss and came very close to knocking off LSU. MSU and ULM were just unfortunate. Auburn however, has been embarrassed by Arky and LSU and will likely see the same fate against Ole Miss and Alabama.

I...
…could not agree more, but that hardly keeps delusional fans from making the comparison. It was easy to see that this was going to happen even before the season started for both Tennessee and Auburn.
Again, the big difference is of course Alabama has one of the most successful coaches on Alabama’s sideline, and Tennessee and Auburn have Kiffin and Chizik respectively.

… believe it or not, that quote actually comes from the publisher of the Auburn Scout.com site. So, no, that’s not just some paranoid Auburn redneck out there sitting around out there in his shack doing his sister — okay, so maybe it is, but anyway — that’s actually a pretty big whig in terms of Auburn internet sites. He gets thousands of paying subscribers, and probably makes a hell of a lot of money running ITAT. And he’s out there touting that shit. Just unreal.
And if that doesn’t show you how much of a joke that the entire Scout.com network is by allowing that sort of garbage, nothing ever will.

I doubt he was born stupid. What powerful force can warp a mind so badly? What is unique about Auburn is that the paranoid permanent chip on your shoulder mentality does not just exist among random fans like it might in any program, but permeates significant voices in the “Auburn family.”

Exactly...
Their “might be an incredible recruiting class” consists of what, exactly? Even counting the kicker being rated as a four-star by Scout, their entire class is likely to include all of about seven prospects rated four-stars or higher.
What in the fuck is “incredible” about that? That is basically the exact same thing that happened in both 2008 and 2009. Just goes to show you how willing desperate fans are to drink the Kool-Aid.

I'm a little confused
What calls, exactly, did we get that were so controversial?
I remember the LSU defender not getting flagged for PI in the end-zone, and I remember UT getting flagged a lot for things that seemed pretty reasonable, but I really don’t recall seeing any plays and thinking “we got away with one there”.
I'm wrong all the time.
by PeteHoliday on Oct 27, 2009 9:57 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
That's what makes it so funny...
Tennessee had eight penalties on Saturday. Three of those penalties were false starts, and another one was a delay of game. Obviously those are textbook calls with basically no subjective element.
And the other four?
(1) 8-yard pass interference on Julio
(2) Holding penalty in ’Bama territory
(3) Illegal block below the waist
(4) Roughing the punter
Of those four, the illegal block below the waist and roughing the punter were obvious calls. Likewise, the holding penalty was pretty obvious too, and it should be pointed out that the fact that the Tennessee offensive line got called for holding a mere one time all day was a joke. So what does that leave? The PI on Julio, and admittedly that may have been a questionable call. So basically, for all of the whining and moaning, you end up with one 8-yard pass interference call.
That’s what makes the whole damn thing so funny. They have no legitimate beef whatsoever, and that is exactly why all of the UT coaches keep bitching generically about the penalties, but never really go in-depth as to which specific penalties were wrong and why. They know they have no case, they’re just looking for excuses.

It's all about the helmet.
It started off with the idea that the Cody helmet call was blown and UT should have gotten a rekick and therefore Alabama stole it. Then someone actually looked at the rules and SEC officiating issued a statement showing that to be false.
So instead of moving on the focus has shifted to the more nebulous claim that “the zebras are just out to screw us generally” without actually showing why any particular call was wrong. And of course it is easy to make general complaints about the officiating without proving any specifics, that’s what losers always do. But I don’t think this would all be happening if not for Gary Danielson making that stupid comment which he has since recanted.
by Paranormal on Oct 27, 2009 3:15 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Good...
At least Danielson has the integrity to admit he was wrong. Of course, it’s likely that Wilbon and Kornheiser and the others (due to laziness) don’t even know they’re wrong. And you’re right. There’s no way these guys would’ve even noticed if Danielson hadn’t mentioned it. Why? They don’t watch our games. They don’t care. They just like controversy. Let’s pretend that the rules were different, the refs flagged us, and Tennessee got to rekick the ball, and they made it. The whole story would be about how the referees screwed us by calling a ridiculous excessive celebration penalty. It would harm the SEC Conspiracy Narrative, but it would still create controversy. That’s what they like. Kornheiser and Wilbon do not care too much about college football in itself, and in particular Alabama football. They just want something to rant about. And as for Kiffin, he needs to realize that if you want to beat a team, you have to beat them to the point that the refs don’t matter.

This was
posted in another thread by RedTideConsumes but I think its relevant here:
Jay Coulter:
After a decade of failure, Alabama officials, alumni and fans came together and said enough. They vowed to do whatever it took to put their program back on top.
Barner:
Yeah, whatever it took, like making sure our games are fixed with the refs. I’m not saying all the calls against us are total horse crap, but the majority are. And it happens in EVERY one of our games. If you think they are above doing something like that, think again. They are willing to do whatever it takes to make us fail. They are trying to make the state of Alabama like the state of Louisiana, with 1 big school and several little schools. They are trying to be the LSU of this state, and make Auburn the Tulane. Auburn cannot let that happen. Call me crazy for my conspiracy theory, but I’m dead serious.
Moderate Barner trying to calm down the Jihad Barner:
Don’t make dumbass comments like that. You really make yourself sound like an idiot with statements like that. Every team has some bad calls go against them and some bad calls that help them. Auburn didn’t lose to LSU because the refs were out to get us. We lost because LSU was better than us.
Jihad Barner’s response:
Yeah OK, I’m an idiot. I guess that’s why I’m graduating from Auburn University in less than 2 months.

Calls in UT Game
Can’t believe Kiffin was complaining. On the touchdown drive one Alabama rusher was pulled down by the shoulder pad on Crompton’s rollout, right in front of the ref, no call…two plays later (I think), touchdown Tennessee…
By the way, I wouldn’t be too hard on McElroy, I’m hoping they can make some adjustments. At least he didn’t throw the ball to the other team. However, the week off could not come at a better time. I hope if we have 2nd and 2 on the four yard line again we run it at least once…
by crimson9282 on Oct 27, 2009 1:38 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Good Point
Aside from that one blown call you personally witnessed, I think a broader point that can be easily inferred is that because Alabama has gotten pressure on the QB in every preceding game this year but Jonathan Crompton had a mysteriously long time to throw the ball in this game, the refs were purposely blowing holding calls because they are being paid off by a conglomerate of UT and Auburn boosters, the Illuminati, and terrorists seeking to hold down the Tide.
How else could that 3-3 UT team push our undefeated Tide to the limit. It’s obviously not our team’s fault that the game turned out so close.

Some Vols homer who thinks kiffen is a mastermind.
Many my not see it yet, but soon will. Kiffin is a mastermind. He really stole a page from the ole ball coach’s playbook. Take the pressure off your team by putting it on yourself. Kiffin had all the press cover not the players and then they could just go play ball. It showed in the Florida game as UT played as lose as they ever played with UF. They say Spurrier was in UT’s head when he was really in Fulmer’s head which carried over to the team and players. And that stayed with Myer’s being at UF now it stilled carried over being the back of Fulmer’s mind that we can’t beat UF. Then he wants to win so bad that his team is tight before and during the game. With Kiffin he takes the pressure and the team plays the game. It is a reason behind all of Kiffin’t so called mouth running just as it was with Spurrier. Now Sabin is the silent manipulator that Fulmer couldn’t handle. Kiffin and his boyish looks and brash style will stop UT from being underdogs in the mind games.

Wow
it takes a special type of fan to come up with that.
Auburn fans are like slinkys... not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

People blaming refs
I’m so sick of people thinking the Refs are helping Bama win. We are just playing football and people don’t like that. They just need to get over it. I’m sick of all these sorry people. Roll Damn Tide

Vol trash
I wish I could give the vols some credit for their play.However playing against a worn down and banged up team is tantamount to buzzards circling waiting for a wounded animal to die.
We were wounded but damn sure weren’t dead.

Here's my Contribution to the Meltdown: Sparty Style (absolutely painful)
SPARTAN FOOTBALL IS PATHETIC!!!!!!!!
Dantonio, stop coaching like a loser who hopes to win one day.
Mediocrity here is likely tied to you view of coaching. The whole coaching staff needs to get their head in the game here.
Once again, we have all been duped into having faith in Spartan football. It just isn’t happening and maybe we should face up to that.
There are also twoo consistent grumbles we seem to consistently have. One is the officiating, and the other is the prevent defense, which has cost Sparty two games. Plenty o’ meltdown here.
