First, let me get the melt out of the way: I'm still convinced Gus Malzahn choked that game away, and in the hands of a more competent play-caller, Auburn would've run LSU out of the stadium. People say Stidham can't handle pressure, but if all he's dropping back for is deep balls, he's gonna be under pressure on every snap...so, I'm not laying anything on his shoulders, but I'm definitely pointing fingers at the coaching staff.

THAT BEING SAID, the game was won by LSU because they played like their hair was on fire. Just look at all 3 of their TDs...if their players were playing at even 97%, none of those TDs would've happened. But they reached into their souls and found something, and as a result poured in a full 100%, maybe even 110%, and they made the plays when it mattered most. Any one of those 3 TDs could've been stopped if Auburn wanted it more, and maybe they thought they wanted it more...but they didn't, and they sorely underestimated LSU's grit.

If you look at my post history, NOT ONCE did I participate in any shite-talking before the game. I'm old enough to know that weird stuff happens in this series, and I've lost count of the weirdness, lol....I'm the type that prefers popping the champagne after the game, and not a moment before 0:00 on the clock. Looks like my unopened bottle should be passed over to the LSU fans. Cheers

LSU helped Malzahn keep his job last year. He was returning the favor.

After Saturday's game, maybe coaching changes should be an annual thing between AU/LSU, lol...

Yeah, there's some melt in there, lol...but it's hard to do anything but give props for those TDs. That diving catch in the end zone, I would've loved for someone on AU to lay it out like that in the second half...looking at that TD, it's hard to do anything but say "well, hell of a catch right there"....

You sound like a great fan.
I think malzan blew the chance of winning by not punting the ball with all timeouts left. You know they would have prolly got the ball back only needing a fg. Jmo

I agree they should've punted, but I also think they should've gone for it on 4th and inches. It was a Titanic situation, and Auburn needed something, anything to mellow the crowd out...it was like the crowd willed Gus to punt the ball, they were so into it at that point.

Out of everything the Aubie mascot deserves the most hate, from the corndogs and the Troy costume and then blowing a 20 pt lead. Awesome job Aubie!

Thanks. But I'm not gonna lie, if I was 25 years younger, I might've been shopping for a new TV after that game

I didn't understand the play calling by Auburn but I'm sure they know more than I do.

If I was 25 years younger I'd have had a massive stroke sometime over the last couple of years watching my team play, I understand where you are coming from.

Lurkers have this stupid inside joke where they try to make both sides of the vote look even. It's retarded. Because of the quality of this OP, the upvotes actually outran the jackasses. It's a testament to the quality of the OP.
