Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

It's Meltdown Time...

With another week of college football in the bag, we have yet another week of meltdowns. This week we're going to look at meltdowns from Florida State, Oklahoma State, and Georgia Tech, and then we're going down to the Plains for a hilarious reverse meltdown. It seems that losing a close game, at home, to your biggest rival when they play terrible is now the Auburn equivalent of winning the national championship, so you'll enjoy.

As always, the language gets very, very rough. If you don't like that sort of thing, I strongly urge you to move on to the next piece here at RBR. And now, with warnings out of the way, it's meltdown time...

Whls_medium

I am running out of jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Worst. Game. Ever.
No way Bowden can be back now. We are basically FIU now.
hell we're worse than FIU now

What halfway decent defensive coordinator would want to come to this school now?

I'm so friggin sick of this. I can believe there are people still supporting that selfish old coot, his loudmouth wife and his bloodsucking offspring. Haven't we suffered enough!!!!

Six straight losses to Florida... just be glad this ain't like basketball or it'd be 12 straight.

WHAT ADMINISTRATION ALLOWS SIX STRAIGHT BEATDOWN LOSSES TO A RIVAL??? TELL ME PLEASE!!!

Could we riot outside of TK's house?

ANARCHY NOW!

Who's going to start the Facebook group?

my advice to you all is to drink heavily

where is my bacardi

Would any of you send your kids to FSU? I wouldn't, that's for sure.

We couldn't stop Tebow if we called Tonya Harding's boyfried

They could have hung 100 on us easy today

Maybe Meyer is trying to save Bowden's job?

Wouldn't YOU?

It’s just another nail in Bowden’s coffin. Another piss stain on his legacy.

A normal coach would have been fired at least twice by now

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffin' glue!!!

I was thinking about that whole "one player away" nonsense during the game. You could give us Lawrence Taylor in his prime and I still don’t think this defense would be average.

I can’t wait to see who will get to beat us down in the Dalton Ga carpet bowl this year.
I suspect it will be Eastern Michigan State U.

Danielson ought to close his eyes and spread his asshole for Tebow. Lord knows that's what we are doing.

This man loves FSU? Wow, I'd hate to see what he'd do if he hated it.

FUCK BOBBY!

With all due respect, and remember I said with all due respect, please die in a fire.

If he was actually Seminole they take his ass out to the woods and leave his ass to die.

Any chance we got lucky and he died in his sleep last night?

SIX STRAIGHT LOSSES BOBBY!

Sometimes I feel like I'm from Cleveland............ohlord Bad day, very, very bad day.......banghead

Gundy's now on my hotseat!

How many recruits haul ass now?

Are we really going to get shut out by the worst OU team since 1998?

We'll always be little brother.

Worst display of coaching I have ever seen. Gundy should repay the university whatever his weekly pay is for this week. Fning pitiful.

I wouldn't let Gundy call plays on my Madden dynasty.

oh my god. we had a chance to end the shut out and we lost it. i can't believe this. what god damn f*cking joke.

They gave up. So should we.

Gundy set the program back today. No doubt about it.

Don't you know T Boone is pissed? Guy donated a literal fucking Wall Street empire and we still can't win 10 games. Just proves there are some things money can't buy... not even 150 million bucks.

Dumbass either forget all the shit he learned about return on investment or got lucky in first place. Hundreds of millions for a 9-3 team? I hope he doesn't ask for a refund.

Most embarrassed I've ever been.

Grade score of coaches game plan:  F-

We just bent over big brother, now you can stick it in.

Accept it guys we are Oklahoma State, and that means even in the "glory years" you lose three or four games, you probably get beat by OU and Texas, and you get a second-tier bowl. No use setting yourself up to be disappointed.

OUR MOST EMBARRASSING LOSS?????????? EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Fully agree.  Definitely the most disappointing loss I have seen in 30+ years.  No excuse to lose to them this year.bangheadbangheadbangheadbangheadbangheadbanghead

Seriously, where would we be if we had never left the SEC? We would be as bad as Mississippi State, maybe even as bad as Vandy.

The "winner" of the ACC "Championship" Game ought to get a guaranteed bid to the Papa John's Bowl against Auburn.

Assuming we do beat Clemson, who gets the pleasure of spanking us in a BCS game?

Well, it's official..... the ACCCG is a joke again.

Um, when was it not a joke?

NO ONE on this board ever has a right to complain about ESPN's (or anyone else's) SEC lovefest ever again.  The two ACC Division champs just got beat by 5-loss SEC also-rans.  Our pathetic conference deserves every single bit of criticism that's lobbed in our direction for the next year.

The SEC is where the real football is. This shit we're doing in the ACC is nothing more than glorified intramurals.
This loss sucks, but cut the shit guys, if we really had anything on Georgia (or any other SEC team for that matter) we'd have never left the SEC in the first place.
How many total fans are in attendance in Tampa?

This is their last big year. Ever. Mark it down.
On that note, if that is a national championship caliber team, I am Mickey Mouse. Our 2004 team would beat them by 4 TDs.
For those that remember today was eerily reminiscent of '81. They won today but notice is served.  Is S*$*$  man enough to stay at UAT and face the onslaught?  Welcome to your first glimpse of hell Nick.
We're going to kick their asses next year in T'town.
I've never felt better about a loss!
They've won the battle but we've won the war!
Roof exposed Bama. What Roof's defense did today, is what DC'S have not tried to do all year with Bama. Stop Ingram and you can stop bama's offense. Most of bama's opponents have been worried about the threat of JJ.
If Alabama was the second best team in the land on Friday then Auburn was certainly the third
Enjoy this you Bama fuckers! AU IS BACK!!!

Auburn’s defense shut down Alabama’s running game. HUZZAH!

Can’t wait for you excuse for Bama next year..

The most courageous performance I've seen in 40 years...

Im so f'in proud of this team!!! Tears are fallin as I type! enjoy it you bammer f*ckers...it will be your last!!!

I'm so proud of this team I'm wearing my Auburn shirt to work Monday!

The Tide... it is turning!

For the A.U. fans that actually think spuat will just reload next year...if you actually think spuat's #35 & #10 are even in the same league as #25 & #30 then you're foolish...they lose half of secondary and all of their front four...they will struggle on defense big time....their backups are a big drop off from starters

Agreed, a lot of $puat fans that I know all agree that this is their year to run the table. The talent level drops off somewhat and they lose almost 28 starters off this team. I think thats why the Iron Bowl "almost loss" shook them up pretty badly, because as Ray Perkins said before the game (and they lapped up) this was their best team ever.....and their "best ever" team got handled by a depleted, undermanned AU team that they will see again next year almost intact with the gaps filled in.... WDE!

You know we just powend Bama...

I have never felt so "comfortable" with a loss...

GET READY FOR ANOTHER SIX STRAIGHT YOU DUM BAMMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alabama is losing 28 starters next year? Is that even possible?

I enjoy how the previous 11 games did not prove that Auburn was a mediocre program, but the 60 minutes in the Iron Bowl proved they were the third best team in the nation!

I thought....

the same thing and LOLed at that comment. To the best of my recollection we lose three on the offense, three specialist, and six seniors and possibly two juniors (if McClain & Jackson go pro) on defense, for a possible total of 14. And I don’t know that there’s that much difference between the ones and twos other than a little experience.

Did you notice they bang the cowbells in rythm to Sandstorm? (or whatever the name of that techno song that is now required listening during collegiate football games) We lost to a team who thinks it’s cool to combine techo music with cowbells. (Bang! kills self.)

by bammer on Dec 1, 2009 8:27 AM CST up reply actions  

Everything old is new

Roof went back to the old Bears 46 defenses. Stack the line of scrimmage so that linemen can’t get through their block to reach the linebackers. It’s a phenomenal way to stop the run. If your linebackers can get through and pressure the QB, it can also be a great way to pressure the QB.

But like every defense it has a weakness. It can be beaten with quick passes and slants to an empty middle. In the second half, we began doing more of that. Saban needed to (and did) channel Bill Walsh in beating Buddy Ryan. Good stuff.

Even then, when drawing the plays in the sand was over, and they had to revert back to the ole standard playbook, they were stagnant at best.

Oh, and congrats on selling your entire defense out to stop Ingram, he’s truely flattered. By the way, what happened with Richardson?

If you're going to say something about FSU and Bowden, then get your facts correct first

First, FSU quit being a girls school long before Bowden got there.

Second, FSU had 14 consecutive years (1987-2000) with 10+ wins and ranked in the top 5. They are still the only school to start the year ranked number and stayed number one the entire season (1999). In 44 years of coaching, Bowden has only had 2, THAT’S RIGHT TWO, losing seasons (I hope he wins the bowl game so he can at least go out with a winning season).

Unfortunately for Bobby, the hiring of Mark Richt at UGA doomed the offense b/c Bobby gave the reigns to his son Jeff who was a horrible OC. In 2006 and 2007 FSU had a horrible recruiting class. FSU had to force Jeff Bowden our b/c Bobby refused to fire him. In FSU’s last 12 games at Doak Campbell Stadium, they are 5-7 against DIV 1 opponents. A few years ago Bobby said that if lost 5 games in a season, then he would retire. That was in 2004. FSU was 7-5 in 2006 and 2007. Last year was looking very promising, finishing 9-4, even though FSU got blown out by UF at home with a young, inexperianced Christian Ponder at the helm. This year the defense was a total failure.

Most people have no clue what has been going within the coaching staff. Those of us that do, pay close attention to FSU. Chuck Amato is THE biggest problem for FSU and had done everything he can to under mind Jimbo Fisher. He has been seen trying to start fist fights with coaches, in front of the players. Jody Allen is the worst defensive line coach I’ve ever seen. Mickey Andrews wanted to retire 2 years ago, after his son committed suicide. However, Bobby talked him into coming back for one more year and then Jimbo asked him to stay for this season b/c Bobby was going to give the reins to Chuck Amato, which would’ve been disastrous for FSU. This is only a very small piece of some of the issues that FSU is currently facing and Bowden has done nothing to fix it.

Unfortunately for Bowden, he is not going out on his own terms. He no longer really coaches and he’s been holding the Jimbo back from getting complete control of the team. It is also very unfortunate for both Bobby and Mickey that this season was the worst season they have had (as a tandem) at FSU. I wish both of them the best and they WILL NEVER be forgotten by any true Nole fan. We know who got us to national prominence. but it was the same person who helped bring us down. Now it’s Jimbo’s turn to see if he can turn it around and I believe he will. Will it be next season? I doubt it. However, I give Jimbo 3 years, max, before he has FSU competing for national titles again.

And, is normally downright frustrating,

to carry the analogy further; Auburn SHOULD be the wingman whose night started out well with a hot chick they had no chance with under normal circumstances. Then they said some dumb shit, got too drunk, and (in a rational world) would normally be left to lament their loss of a golden opportunity, one that dropped in their lap.

However, rather than being upset with a lost opportunity, they applaud it…simply baffling.

The other thing

We got so many 5 star and 4 star recruits that would be startingon alot of teams this year just waiting to get in. I see no talent drop off next year. In fact i only gets better. Ro already said Donta was better than he was. Also Ingram said the same about Richardson. Hell if #3 mproves as much as #22 did fron year 1 to 2 then my god look out. We are gonna bebad ass. I think our defense will be better by far next year as well. Lotmore speed and talent sitting on the sidelines just need time.

but we lose Arenas, Woodall, M.

I think in a lot of cases

They are happier that we are disappointed that we didn’t blow them out. Making Bama fans unhappy is a higher priority for some of them than actual wins for auburn. As long as we aren’t as happy as we could be, that is a win for them.

How sad.

by bama_tex on Dec 1, 2009 5:59 PM CST reply actions  

Two Points:
  1. ACC: I live literally 20 minutes from the campus of Wake Forest, have visited the following campuses at some point: Wake, UNC, Duke, NC State, Clemson, Georgia Tech, and Viriginia. The losses by Georgia Tech and Clemson were absolutely hi-freaking-larious, and gives me a ton of wonderful ammo to throw at all my friends who care about football around here. That and UNC’s loss to NC State, but shhh! on that one. Here’s to hoping the Vols can keep the streak alive against Virginia Tech.
  2. Auburn: I believe I made a comment on the live game thread here before I had to leave, Auburn was using their gimmick plays against Alabama — I was only able to watch the first 2 scores live — early on, and it was working. They did the same thing to Tennessee, but the Vols didn’t have the offensive power to come back. The problem with the Spread is that it doesn’t rely on “my player is better than your player” as far as I can see; it relies on creating mis-matches and fooling the defense. I think a good defense can shut down the Spread very well, as long as said offense doesn’t have a crazy awesome player a’la Percy Harvin.
  3. Look, a close loss against a hated rival is still a loss. Looking back, the loss to UF wasn’t a “moral victory” for Tennessee, not really, but it was a good egg for us nationally because we fought hard and didn’t let a Florida team that wanted to crush us crush us. Our loss to Alabama was heartbreaking because, you know, we could have should have almost pulled off the huge road upset, after trailing all game, finally getting it together at the end … Auburn, meanwhile, collapsed after the first quarter, and there’s no reason they should have lost the game after jumping out to a 14-0 lead.
  4. The funny thing about Auburn, that I thought, was that they seem to think that because they almost beat you guys, it means you guys suck rather than Auburn is better than they thought. Tennessee fans took the losses to UF and UA as an indication that we’re pretty good. But, ah well ….
