It's Meltdown Time...
Yet another epic week in the world of meltdown time. With Upset Saturday in full swing, you knew that we were going to have some fun this Tuesday morning. Let's just say there was no disappointment.
There was nothing this week quite of LSU proportions, but lots of good material nevertheless. South Carolina followed up their biggest win ever by choking against a basketball school, Arkansas goes nuts on the defense and the officials, Texas once again choked to Nebraska, Florida is going back to the late 1980's, and Ohio State pulled their typical choke job against a fellow Big Ten program.
The topic list this week includes its usual variety of randomness, such as Les Miles, Bobby Knight, chair throwing, boycotts, Slappies, the Choke at Doak, Tasers, Halloweeen, Arena League football, paraplegics, Wal-Mart, Tyson Chicken, Jesus, Bill Callahan, apple sauce, KY Jelly, Bear Bryant, Chinese Water torture, partial birth abortion, Beef 'O Brady's, Ron Zook, Shreveport, New Coke, Obama, the Rolling Stones, hangings, rapes, 747s, suicide, anthrax, and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
As always, the language gets very, very bad. You've been warned. Enjoy after the jump:

We're back!!
34 years and I've never been this disgusted.
Same old stuff. We will NEVER be contenders.
I have never been so embarrassed to be a Gamecock fan.
Admit it, all we did was beat an overrated Alabama team at home that's probably on their way to a 9-3 season. We didn't beat a #1 team, we just beat a team with the media's lips around their wang
Worst loss I can recall in 26 years as a gamecock....
If Spurrier gave himself a game ball last week, I hope he gives himself a big steaming pile of shit this week
What's there to cry and moan about? If you're not used to this then.you were born this morning.
Oh no, no, no, I thought the light finally came on for Garcia? It didn't have shit to do with him having all day to throw to wide open receivers against an overrated defense, did it?
One last heave to the end zone and we throw it to some slapdick while Alshon goes jogging?
And we're back to reality.
This is why we are who we are.
Vacation over, folks, but it was a fun seven days and six nights, right?
Worst rushing defense in the SEC and we run the ball five times in the second half? Thanks SOS
Spurrier must have gone to the Les Miles school of coaching last week
I was wondering if someone in our secondary had money on the game from what I saw.
I exerted more pressure on my bladder going to the bathroom than the entire defense exerted on UK's offense tonight.
Worst coached end of game ever for SOS!
Our pass rush was much better when we had a quarterback who held onto the ball for 10 minutes
For most of this game our staff made Les Miles, the man that uses "want" as both a noun and a verb in the SAME sentence, look like a genius.
This is just as shitty as the Choke at Doke just without a cool nickname. Clusterfuck in Lexington just doesn't have that ring to it.
Most embarrasing loss in our SEC history
I'd rather taken my chances with Les Miles in that situation. At least if we would have shit the bed with him we'd done it with a fake field goal instead of a shit throw to the 14th string nobody.
Les Miles will think that was bad coaching when he hears it
How the fuck did Les Miles get on our sideline?
Calm down, still two plays to go, we got this FUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKK
Fuck you Carolina, all you ever do is give me false hope
I never believed the "New Carolina" shit. It took SOS almost five years to get a big-time win, that told you all you needed to know there

CBS = Cam Bitch-Slapped Us
We just won Cam Newton the Heisman. Don't want to hear any more shit about how Arkansas has never produced a Heisman winner.
We couldn't have stopped him if Petrino would have given our defense tasers
I'm starting a fire Penn Wagers petition
Penn Wadgers for Heisman
Never has there been a figure that has affected more college football games than Penn Wadgers. Not Bo Jackson, Not Tim Tebow, not Tony Dorsett.
Until LSU, Ark, MSU, and OM demand that the SEC office clean up officiating, expect that when playing in the state of Alabama you get hosed! There too many SEC officials from the state of Alabama!
What happens when Alabama plays Auburn? Do they flip a coin to see who gets the breaks?
I, for one, will never chant SEC again... I'm ashamed to... We all should be...
We need 2 withdrawl from this conference immediately!
send a message, they have disabled their telephone. what is the email?
Those fucking pussies at the SEC office aren't accepting phone calls
Suggestion for Willie next week: practice tackling
We're the fucking champions of Arena league football
Only good thing from today is that we showed that Mallett is replaceable. Any QB with pubes can post big numbers in our offense. Problem is half the sororities on campus could put up 28+ against our defense
Our defense got lit up like the White House Christmas tree. It's time for Willie Robinson to join the ranks of the unemployed.
Here's a Halloween idea, our defense could pretend to be football players
65 points? My fucking 9 year old kid doesn't even give up 65 on Heisman mode
We just need to leave the SEC, and that has nothing to do with officiating. We've been in this conference for almost 20 years and through that time we have proven time and again we cannot win here. Go to the Big 12, CUSA, whatever, but we need to leave
He's right. This was our year to win it all and we're going to probably finish 9-3 at best and fourth in the SECW. Failure.
Check list for joining the WAC... high scoring finesse offense, check. High scoring allowing defense, check. Goofy uniforms, check. Guess that covers it, let's roll.
Penn Wagers and his crew are now 2-0 vs Arkansas. This is worse than old SWC officiating. We got fucked and didn’t even get kissed
Where are some chairs that we can throw on the field? I don’t like Bobby knight but this is unbelievable.
I commend every one of you who is able to speak about this game without breaking a vacuum in the front lawn amid a frenzy of foul words because i sure as hell can’t
65 points? 65 points? I bet there are some guys on our team who cannot even count to 65
65 points could have been worse. They would have scored 650 had they had enough time
The only way we were stopping Auburn is that if they sent in the paraplegic team
We couldn't have stopped the paraplegics. We would have needed the second coming of Jesus.
A competent defense... can't find that at Wal Mart, and apparently you can't buy it with Tyson Chicken money either

All I want for Christmas is Turner Gill
As much as I hate it...Texas absolutely owns us. If you can't beat 'em, switch conferences.
This team performed today as if it were still coached by Bill Callahan
COMPLETELY out-coached!
We are their bitch, glad we're getting the fuck out of here
We would choke on apple sauce, if served by Texas. Disgusting.
The brutal part is that we leave the conference with Texas pretty much legitimately saying we were not in there league anyway.
Our receivers couldn't catch HIV from a cheap hooker
Somebody replaced the stickem with K-Y Jelly.
This game was chinese water torture. Drop drop drop drop drop
I could live to see 218 and nobody will ever offer a valid explanation for that onside kick
You couldn't fucking pay me to go read Shaggy Bevo right now
Dammit….I are pyssed. And drunk. Mother f’n Texas. I hate those asshats.
fucking crappiest craptastic ever fuck you bastards, shit asss.
My grandfather gave me some advice on fights: if you see you cannot win them, run like a motherfucker. That's basically what happened with us, Texas, and the Big Ten move.

And people wonder why we cannot get a big time RB....joke
Gee, why didn't Trent Richardson sign with us? Definitely those Bammer boosters right?
I bet we have many transfers this offseason
The football team is turning into the hoops team after Billy's flip-flop.
Our OL was yet another partial birth abortion.
Every time I see Cam Newton killing people wearing orange and blue I want to puke
A Gator QB is going to win the Heisman. Oh, wait...
Looks like our staff is pulling the mad hatter clock management trick.
Did anyone else see Meyer almost collapse at the end? Looked like a lost child in a crowd at Disney

And not related to Arky, but
my personal favorite of all time was the LSU DB being allowed to throw down our receiver in the endzone while the ball was in the air, then intercepting it. Yeah, the refs never give anyone other than Bama and AU a chance.
If I'm wearing a turban, it means Auburn is playing Iraq.
Oh Lord
I can’t tell you how bad I cussed that day.
Side note: At the time, I was working with a vendor and one of their reps was a long time SEC referee (and I’m having the worst time remembering his name, but you folks would recognize it) and we were discussing that play the following week. He at least admitted that the call was missed. Of course he wasn’t working that game, but said he saw the replay. I didn’t push too much after that, cuz I’m sure he hears all kinds of crap all the time (although he’s retired now I believe).
"I have tried to teach them to show class, to have pride, and to display character. I think football, winning games, takes care of itself if you do that." -Paul W. Bryant
I don't understand why pass interference isn't reviewable.
Sometimes it’s so painfully obvious yet still missed.
If I'm wearing a turban, it means Auburn is playing Iraq.
I hear ya
But they’d be trying to review every play. It’s kinda like offensive holding, you could probably call some form of that penalty on half the plays.
That one, though, was probably the grandest no-call of all time.
"I have tried to teach them to show class, to have pride, and to display character. I think football, winning games, takes care of itself if you do that." -Paul W. Bryant
They already do review every play, do they not?

Sorry. I needed to more specific.
Yes, they ‘review’ every play. I just meant the ‘official review’ where they stop play to determine if a play can be overturned. As far as interference goes; many times they ‘just let’em play’ even though there is contact all the way down the field. I’d hate to see them stop play every time that happened. Especially with the SEC officials, IMO. Currently, interference is not a ‘reviewable’ offense. They limit the ‘official review’ stuff to turnovers, out of bounds, goal line crossing/touchdown/safety, spot of the ball, etc.
The play we were talking about above though should have resulted in the LSU DB getting brought up on charges of assault and battery.

Yeah, I guess it's just the logistics of it.
I’d still like to see it get called right from time to time.
If I'm wearing a turban, it means Auburn is playing Iraq.
But...
they could make it just like every challenge: you only get one per game/half/whatever. But for the case of offensive holding or pass interference, it’s only reviewable by coach’s request, and he has to specify the offensive and defensive player involved in the infraction.
That way in a pivotal point in the game, a coach could choose to gamble his one challenge on that if the game was on the line.
They could make it happen if they wanted to.
"There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success" - Coach Bryant
and...
it wouldn’t slow the game down anymore than normal coaches challenges do since they are limited to one per game.
"There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success" - Coach Bryant
This
I agree with. Good idea. I almost forgot about the challenges. It’s funny we don’t see more of them. I like the fact they get a timeout taken if they are wrong, that limits the ‘overuse’ situation.

You have to coach ‘em up after they get there. Players don’t just show up and win because someone says their a great player with tons of upside

Yes I have, from what I've seen and heard from media sources..
LSU’s team had a player only meeting during which they basically said we gotta do this on our own, the coaches aren’t dependable and always blame us for their shortcommings. So ya in one sense the coaches have failed but the players are determined to overcome the circumstances. I think this has more to do with self will and drive, good attitude vs Florida’s we have arrived persona.

Check list for joining the WAC... high scoring finesse offense, check. High scoring allowing defense, check. Goofy uniforms, check. Guess that covers it, let's roll.
‘’Lets roll’’ LMAO
The Tide has just begun to take your fuckin life!
I work with a Cornhusker fan, and even she's willing to admit to this:
My grandfather gave me some advice on fights: if you see you cannot win them, run like a motherfucker. That’s basically what happened with us, Texas, and the Big Ten move.
I thought we were politics averse.
The Obama bashing comment needs to go.
The last time we lost three straight I was still in my daddys nutsack
Seriously funny.

That was my favorite
Having endured Spurrier all those years at Florida, I was not one but surprised that he awarded himself the game ball after the Bama game. I love the fact that his own fans recognize what an arrogant bastard he is.
If Spurrier gave himself a game ball last week, I hope he gives himself a big steaming pile of shit this week
My favorites from this week....
fucking crappiest craptastic ever fuck you bastards, shit asss.
It’s like waiting all morning for Christmas and when you wake up its just a big bag of dicks
That’s the second good Santa-related meltdown comment of the season. The first one got to me because of it’s sheer tourette’s-esque psychotic randomness.

"Daddy's nutsack" and the OSU "Bag o' dicks"
DEFINTELY split my vote. Holy shite, do fans come up with some self-depracating goldmines!
Charles Martel, Charlemagne, William the Conqueror, Raymond IV the Count of Toulouse, Godfrey of Bouillon, Baldwin of Boulogne, Henry II, Richard the Lionheart, St. Joan of Arc and Napoleon Bonaparte -- all of good stock.
Some information about Alabama's academic standing...
Two caveats before I get started:
First, I realize that this comment might very well be in the wrong thread. I apologize in advance, and ask for your patience, both for the probability that this comment is misplaced, as well as for its length. I am a lifelong fan of Alabama football, but this is my first-ever post on a blog, much less a sports blog, much less this blog, and I couldn’t find anywhere more appropriate to post it. Glad to be here, by the way.
Second, this might very well begin a mini-meltdown of my own. As such, this might be the correct place after all.
So, on to my point, such that it is. I am getting rather tired of fans of some other schools criticizing the academics at Alabama. Yes, I do realize that this is a sports blog, but this is a college sports blog.
I was reading the post-game thread from this past week’s game over on Red Cup Rebellion when I found the following gems:
“Thoughts from someone at the game
- All their cheers involved spelling or saying BAMA or
saying Roll Tide Roll. I got the impression that was
about all the complexity many of the fans could handle.

I have to agree with you here.
“All their cheers involved spelling or saying BAMA or
saying Roll Tide Roll. I got the impression that was

That’s funny shit; I’m rec’ing this entire post for that

Agreed
I went to law school at Bama and before Saturday I had
never sat anywhere in their stadium except the student
section, and had been pretty sheltered from their non-
student fanbase. Suffice it to say, the stereotypes were
out in full force in the regular section!

Total sounds used by Alabama fans to support their team: Seven
Just to get this in the public record: a friend pointed out that ALL Alabama cheers can be yelled by individuals who only need to know how to make seven sounds:
"B", "A", "M", (A is re-used), "Bam", "Uh", "Roll", "Tide", and Roll is re-used.
The reason for the popularity of the Alabama Crimson Tide to a certain segment of the population of Alabama has thus been identified.

[Excerpted for brevity.]
You can find the entire thread here: http://www.redcuprebellion.com/2010/10/17/1756899/ole-miss-rebels-10-alabama-crimson-tide-23-postgame-report#49646047
As a graduate of the University of Alabama, I take umbrage at some of those comments, and many others like them. (I do realize that the posters were insulting the intelligence of Alabama fans, not the University’s students, faculty, or academic reputation. However, I have not yet found any semi-credible rankings of the intelligence of college sports teams’ fanbases.) Since U.S. News & World Report ranks national universities, I chose to do some research rather than simply spouting rage. You can find those rankings here: http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/national-universities-rankings
According to their rankings, the University of Alabama is currently the 79th best national university in the country, and the 34th best public university. This places Alabama 4th in the SEC, behind Vanderbilt (17th), Florida (53rd), and Georgia (56th). "Just to get this in the public record," Ole Miss (I think I can still call them that) is ranked 143rd. (In case you’re curious, Arkansas is 132nd, Auburn is 85th, Kentucky is 129th, LSU is 124th, Mississippi State is 151st, South Carolina is 111th, and Tennessee is 104th.)
Comments similar to those copied above are by no means unique to Ole Miss fans, so I expanded my research. Alabama would be tied with Baylor as the 3rd best school in the Big XII, behind Texas (45th) and Texas A&M (63rd). We’d be dead-center in the PAC-10 and the Big East (with 3 of the 4 Big East schools ahead of us –Pittsburgh (64th), Rutgers (64th), and Connecticut (69th) – within 15 places of us). We’d fare considerably poorer in the ACC, coming in ahead of only Florida State (104th) and N.C. State (111th). We’d be tied with Michigan State for dead last in the Big Ten (but 4 of their schools – Minnesota (64th), Iowa (72nd), Indiana (75th), and Michigan State (79th) – are within 15 places of us).
Out of the 65 schools in the 6 BCS Conferences, Alabama is in the middle of the pack academically: 34 are ranked ahead of Alabama, 2 received the same ranking, and 28 are ranked behind. So while there are certainly schools with a better overall academic reputation than Alabama’s, Ole Miss is not one of those schools.
In closing, if StanfordReb actually attends or graduated from Stanford, then kudos to him/her: Stanford’s ranked 5th. But I hope he/she realizes that he’s/she’s criticizing the intelligence of Alabama’s (79th) fans on Ole Miss’s (143rd) blog. To allicolls, who claims to have gone to the University of Alabama School of Law: if you graduated, congratulations – it’s currently ranked 38th in the country, which is great, but that’s down from 32nd in 2009. (Get it together guys.) Ole Miss’s law school technically didn’t get ranked by U.S. News and World Report – it’s a tier 3 school.
Thirteen.

REC! REC! REC! REC! REC!
thanks for your rant Darth Saban. i too have read the rankings you reported and not only are we as respectable and impressive (IMO) as you point out, but consistantly moving upward. President Witt has been on a mission and we are only just starting to see the results.
