It's Meltdown Time...

PrintWeek one brought most programs cupcake games, which means the meltdown material for this week is a bit light. Fortunately, though, Ole Miss somehow, someway, threw away an 18-point lead to Division 1-AA Jacksonville State, and the reaction was every bit as good as you would expect. You can't say ol' Johnny Reb didn't come through in the clutch for us.
And, yet, they weren't even the biggest meltdown of the week. That honor went to LSU, who narrowly squeaked by a decimated North Carolina team in Atlanta. Some said it felt like a loss afterward, and, well, the meltdown was certainly like it was a loss.
You know the standard warning on the language, it gets rough. Fair warning. Blame yourself. Enjoy the meltdowns after the jump:
Hell yes this is a knee jerk reaction. And hell yes, I'm drunk. I don't care. Fire Houston Nutt. Fire Tyrone Nix. Strip all of our defenders of their scholarships. If they're not willing to at least pretend like they're in the SEC, then fuck 'em. Fuck 'em hard.
seriously it is time for Nutt to go. he embarrassed the university in ways that even the shrimpboatfuckingcaptainkangarfuckingroo did not. pathetic
Nothing makes up for this. If we were 11-1, people would still say "Yea but you lost to Jacksonville State". We’re royally fucked. 2011?
Well now that is over can concentrate on basketball season. every other team we play is better than jacksonville state. we might be lucky if we are allowed to stay in the SEC after this one. Fire the whole goddamn lot of them, the only way to save face after that bullshit of a game is to just hit the reset button on our football program.
I have to go back to work Tuesday (I work at State, remember?). Which would be bad enough, if I didn’t have to go to the in-laws for lunch tomorrow, with my obnoxious State grad sister-in-law who will take great pleasure in rubbing it in my face.
If I don’t post after tonight, you will know it’s because I murdered my sister-in-law and am sitting in lock-up.*
*Kidding, I swear…maybe.
Ouch. That shit will not buff out.
well, we just created a legend on the j-state campus.
Will this season ever end?
We will be the laughing stock of every sports show in the nation this week!!
IS THIS A MOTHERFUCKIN GODDAMN JOKE
Looks like we’re gonna have to depend on schadenfreude this year. I can’t believe I’ve got to worry about getting beat by Tulane.
I just got rip-roaring drunk at my non-drinking parents’ house, then turned around the second they completed that touchdown pass, walked out the door (slammed it really hard), got in my car and drove to my house. Mom called me freaking out. I did not give a shit.
I've been in school/not at home for 7 years. This was the first "let's get the family together to watch game." Apparently my parents didn’t understand the level of anger that results from FUCKING LOSING TO FUCKING JACKSONVILLE STATE. I mean, FUCK!
This is looking forward to Christmas all year and Christmas morning you wake up to a bloody, hacked up, shot-up pile of reindeer corpses and a wrecked sleigh, and just as you open your door to examine this horror further, Santa pops out from under the wreckage, says "fuck you, you don’t get any presents!" and blows his own head off.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt worse about our chances, even during the Orgeron years. At least Eddie O could fucking beat his cupcakes.
On the bright side: I’ll get to stay home for New Year’s this year.
any one kicking the dog or beating the wife yet?
I work with AR fans. I don't know if I'm going back to work.
Most embarrassing loss in the history of Ole Miss football.
Worse than any Orgeron loss by far.
Shreveport wouldn't take us. I can't blame em.
I hate Jordan Jefferson more than my Ex-wife. :doublebird:
If Miles is such a good man (the usual defense for him) then he should admit he has no clue and just friggin quit
this could be the worst coached, worst played game in LSU history.
Can someone explain to me why the All American shut down corner was used to blitz while the useless garbage corner was left to get torched play after play
Miles is making LSU the laughing stock of Tuscaloosa.
Please leave Less in Atlanta.
Can I get 4 mil to destroy the hopes of an entire state and fan base?
Why do only LSU players cramp?
Houston Nutt is in good company....
Bottom line
Its embarrassing to be an LSU fan
Resign tomorrow please. This from a miles supporter until tonight. I think hallman could win 9 games with this talent. Yes I said it. Anyone with a brain knows what's coming on both offense and defense.
Les is blaming ALL of this on his players. Listening to him on the post game. It is really unbelievable.
this season is totally fricked. frick the coaching staff. just pathetic. we are a complete joke right now
Most disgusting win ever. These coaches really need to step it up. Going to be a long season.
Mullen will shred our defense. We WILL lose that game if this game is any indication.
TJ Yates just threw for over 400 yards against us
But the TigerRag, the advocate, and everybody else keeps telling me how good our secondary is. Total BS
Even trade Less for RichRod
We basically barely beat UNC's JV squad tonight.
UNC had 20 first downs, LSU had 11. It doesn't look like we will crack the top 100 in total offense this year as hoped. :banghead:
LSU sucks, man. Welcome to post Saban recruits.
Reservations for Shreveport anyone? I see the Independence Bowl calling.
We will be lucky if we only lose 4 games this year
7-5 independence bowl here we come!!!!!!!
7 & 5 and will probably lose to Ole Miss.
Bring back Dinardo!
only les can almost over shadow an ole miss fail
As a alumni its sad to say but I am officially done with LSU football till they get rid of that sorry arse OC and bench that dumb arse QB. Both are completely worthless.
Sad to say it, but same here. This team is heartless. RIP LSU as top tier team, hello mediocrity.
What we witnessed is not good enough to beat Florida and Alabama, and not good enough to beat Auburn and Arkansas on the road.
Miles is the luckiest sum bitch on the planet. Period.
Sitting here still shaking my head and still it's like.......where do you start. I'm at a loss for words.
He lost me tonight.
Miles lost me after the 2005 27-30 loss in Baton Rouge on Monday night to TN.
How naive can some of you actually be?
His days are clearly numbered. Not much about this team looks stable.
What a sad state of affairs: A loss for Les would actually be a win for the program, if it mean he goes.
When you walk away from a victory feeling like it's a defeat, it wasn't a very good game.
While Erin asks Miles what he was thinking, I’ll tell you what I was thinking with 19 seconds remaining. I was thinking I wish UNC had Miles managing the clock.
we won but we lost..... I just can't believe what I just watched....
Miles is officially lumped into the denardo category.
How can we collect money to buy out his contract? Can we start a web site?
If you took away anything from this game other than LSU has some of the most explosive offensive weapons in the nation that they have absolutely no idea how to use, then I have nothing to offer you.
No, LSU did not win, they just didn't lose or survived... another couple of seconds on the clock and Les would have resigned on Sunday.
You are seriously okay with this? You must shit rainbows.

That one is good
I mostly enjoyed the shrimpboatfuckingcaptainkangarfuckingroo one, for the double penetration, so to speak.
Until our defense proves otherwise, it should be presumed they will be excellent.
I laughed so hard at this, my secretary thought I had fianlly lost it.
Winner of the week.

Agreed......
this one made me lol…….God how I love the meltdowns……..
Missed the final 3 minutes
of LSU UNC. DVR timed out.
Of LSU’s 30 points, Jefferson and his offense were good for 14 points against a decimated UNC defense. Jefferson, like Pryor at OSU, still lacks the ability to play on a TEAM. These two are out for themselves.
And Boise State plays the toughest high school schedule in the country. bs will be in the NCG if there are fewer than two other undefeated teams at years end. Its sickening.
couldn't agree with this more:

Kinda surprised
Florida’s fans aren’t on here. One of the most pathetic offensive showings I’ve ever seen.
Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.

Ahhh Meltdown...

This is better than brownies and ice cream.
Here’s to next week and hopefully a ‘Barn meltdown! And as OTS said we all ought to be praying Miles wins enough to stay…b/c if he doesn’t we’ll all miss out on my favorite genre…LSU meltdowns

OM was just about as expected...
LSU sounds like they just lost to Louisiana-Monroe…And they beat a top 25 team on a neutral site.
Not that I disagree with their observations, but the glummy bears were out in fornce.

What's getting me...
is that this isn’t the first time they’ve melted down like this before because of Miles’ ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. If Miles is better than Saban in any criteria, it is in this area.
Miles has been doing this for a few years now. Are they finally realizing that? I got the impression that they had realized this by now, especially after the Ole Miss game last year.

They were often stupid lucky
To win the ones they have recently (e.g. Miss State last year).
Those clowns need to get a coach who stops the underachiever express or else foregoe expectations.
One of the funniest Ole Miss comments I read didn't make it
One of the Ole Miss fans was pissed that the school scheduled such a high caliber DII school. He said something to the effect of if we’re going to schedule a DII school can’t we at least schedule a crappy one? It was great. I’ll go look and see if I can’t find the exact quote when I have time.
Here it is
This is a great one.
It really doesn’t help we did not learn anything from Michigan Why in the hell you would schedule a GOOD 1AA team (refuse to call it FCS), I have no idea. A good team knows how to win and doesn’t quit, it doesn’t matter the level they play at. So why did we play a top 20 1AA team. It would look the same beating the best 1AA team in the country as beating the worst as far as the polls are concerned. so if you are going to play a 1AA team play the worst one you can find.

One of the Ole Miss ones read...
in the subject line
“Ole Miss has Nutt cancer”
I thought that alone was very funny
Its like a car wreck

There were some good Louisville meltdowns after they lost to Kentucky
Of course, most of them centered on John Calipari…..because he has everything to do with football….

Just think about Ole Miss...
They are calling for the Defensive Coordinators head and their Offensive Coord, is DAVE RADER. Good luck with that.
Bama's Pluck and Grit have Writ Her Name in Crimson Flame
Yeah, but
the OC had nothing to do w/ Ole miss giving up over 40 points to a DII school.

By far the best
I broke out laughing and my boss gave me the evil stare.

I missed the Meltdown. OTS can we have the Virginia Tech Meltdown? Please!!!
My Favorites,
Ole Miss:
Well now that is over can concentrate on basketball season. every other team we play is better than jacksonville state. we might be lucky if we are allowed to stay in the SEC after this one. Fire the whole goddamn lot of them, the only way to save face after that bullshit of a game is to just hit the reset button on our football program.
LSU:
You are seriously okay with this? You must shit rainbows.
It is bad when you just started football season and your only hope is Basketball. Also, The Ole Miss game screwed up my CFB pickem.
As for LSU, I was worried, not so much now. I quess the will just shit rainbows and hope the Tide doesn’t kill them too badly
