But I am ready to freaking melt...

I have taken up for, bought tickets because of, spent $$$ that could have easily brought more joy elsewhere and defended this big mouthed, fat idiot more than most in our Great State.


Bring it or get out!

This was and is an embarrassment period.

Not the loss, the way it happened. Not competitive with anything at all. We were out of alignment, out classed, out played, out coached, and this time it didn't take a stuck elevator, damaged radios, or anything.

It was a drubbing pure and simple. And I am about to roll the oaks in my neighbors yard. Yep, I lost the bet.

CBB better get rid of someone or take his but back to the north. SICK, SICK, SICK!

The only smart one among us.

It was terrible.... the end of a really bad week.

I want to watch the presser, if he doesn't apologize and truly mean it to our fans, OUT!!! OUT!!!!

Find something, anything on him to get out of the $$$

I'm just scared of who we could replace him with.

I want to try firing Robb smith and rory seagrest first. Those are two weak links right now in my eyes. I've thought it since last year.

I've not watched any of Bert's pressers since the spring, but I want to watch this one to see his response.

Welp,

He knows football... Didn't hear too many excuses...

Gaps, Edge, Support lacking on Run D....

Something has to change. as coaches we have to be very, very self critical.

There is a lot to be concerned about.

(About what was said to the team after the game) Some things that I cant say here, but we haven't had our heads handed to us, like this and you have to take ownership of it...

As coaches I am very upset right now, but obviously you have to consider the next 4 games, and that...

Without a doubt coordinators see that we aren't controlling the edge, as a player, as a technique and they could capitalize on it...

Well. I think we will all melt. Then we will have a bye week and suddenly we will be playing alot better and we will look back and ask wtf happened besides that we was emotionally spent and beat up.

Idk that will happen but it's happened with us before

I didn't watch the game this week. Last week I didn't watch it until after the game was over and I knew we won.

You have no idea how much stress this eliminates

I think CBB knows things have to change. I think a few people get the axe this year.

Well there's 4 games left, 4 winnable games from what we saw through the first 7 games and 4 games we can easily lose if we play anywhere near like tonight.

First thing I'd do is put Colton Jackson in at LG, move Ragnow to RG, and give Raulerson or Rogers a shot at C.

2nd, Is a 5-1-5 defensive scheme. We have jackshit at LB, play Ramsey as a stand up DE, he can run w/ TE's if he has to. Our LBrs can't keep up and/or don't want to finish plays. Just exist without them.

3rd. Start interviewing replacements for Hargreaves, Segrest and Smith. Try to get Partridge back and open up the bank and get some coaches with southern backgrounds and SEC experience. My preference for the DL coach is Steve Caldwell.

4th, Not ready to fire Anderson I think he can be an effective recruiter, but he's gotta simplify things so college students and mediocre recruits can master it.

5th, jump off a cliff.

That's the thing about this team that frustrates me the most. We can go into a game everyone is predicting us to lose and pull out a win (TCU, Ole Miss) or get flat blown out. Not to gin up the "Nutt 2.0" stuff, but that same dynamic occurred during the HDN era.

Been saying this for a while. I feel like we're wasting our best lineman (Ragnow) at Center when he can and has played the position at which we are our weakest (RG). I'd like to kick him out to RG and either move Raulerson to center or give Rogers a shot. Raulerson is a huge liability in both pass pro and run blocking.

We're going to have to find some way to mask the deep deficiencies of our LBs. God love him, Ellis just doesn't have the athleticism to be a factor in the passing game, he's a liability on RPOs, and he tends to take horrible angles on backs or QBs who get to the second level. Greenlaw going down hurt badly.

I'm on the fence about Hargreaves simply because our biggest depth problem is at LB, and he doesn't have anything to work with.

Smith and Segrest need to go. Our defense has gotten significantly worse every year under Robb Smith, and our defensive line been terrible for two years now and is getting worse. Go get someone with SEC coaching experience who knows the conference and has connections in the deep south. Heck, I'd take Ellis Johnson right now. I still feel like he was the fall guy when Gus's offense started stalling out in 2014.

Anderson and Segrest were without a doubt the two most questionable hires Bielema's tenure here. Anderson because he had never been a full time assistant at a P5 school and had absolutely no connection to the South.

Let's face it...we don't have an offensive line. Gus knew it. Everyone knows it. How AA has survived this far into the season is amazing. A composite film of the hits he's taken would be unfit for anyone under 18 to watch.

Eight games in and we still aren't sure who should be playing where...and there's little depth behind them. We put them in first class...they ride up front on the bus....put them on the cover of magazines....and we still can't recruit O-Linemen that are even close to SEC ready.

We have a D-lineman who's played football for 4 years total, a transfer from a disaster of a program at Texas (who wasn't exactly all Big-12 there) and a complete lack of incoming talent who are bucking to play.

There is no doubt that our LBs are weak...but they aren't even CLOSE to the problem with this debacle of an O-line we are forced to play. The reason we thought our D-Line was going to be so strong was because they look great against the propped up, patched up, worse than mediocre O-line they practice against. Even worse...since we don't blitz...the ONLY time our outmanned O-line sees a blitz is on Saturdays.

Ole Miss and TCU should fire their D-coordinators now (we know Womack is a goober)...any D-Coordinator that isn't doing what Auburn, A&M and Alabama did to us isn't doing his job.

everyone being those that don't know the strengths and weaknesses of each team. or they don't know how good each team is.

I mean our secondary is one of our strengths and our oline was able to get a push on their dline allowing us to get a running game going. not to mention out dline having the advantage over their oline.

our strengths matched up well with those teams. the teams we've lost to not so much.

And.. usually by the next day, the melt is gone.

Look, part of it I just cant help. I'm a fat man. I have plenty to melt away.

But, I usually supplant some of the melt with calories to endure the torture. Today, I am still melting and have no appetite.

This Sucks. We were Nuke Blasted from all angles. BY of all people, Gus "highschool" Malzahn.

Somebody needs to be looking for a job soon. D line is terrible, O line the same, but.. but... we found a kicker.

3 freaking points.

and to the end, we seemed to have given up. Or mostly. I remember the look on Drew's face when our Storey threw a pass. He was livid...
