We do all kinds of shite to try and run the ball, we play lots of different linemen, and nothing clicks. My feeling is that our OL coach needs to go. We have talented guys up there and clearly they aren’t being coached well.
OL, RB, and S&C coaches all need to go.

Anytime someone tries use the 3 Mikes as the norm with me, I always tell them, EVERY single coach INCLUDING 2 of the Mike's, won at least 10 games in a season at least once in their tenure
Alabama had three double digit win seasons in the Three Mikes Era between 1997 and 2006. Before Saban, LSU had four double digit win seasons ever, from 1894 to 1999. Three Mikes would have been a golden age in LSU history before Saban.

I would be very surprised because none of the factors that pushed him into retirement have changed.

The fact that you think you must be arrested to be a man shows just how immature you still are.
For me, it would depend on the charge. If you're arrested for something like avenging a family member, that would obviously be manly. But if it's something like public intoxication, which I assume is what most people ITT are talking about when recalling their wild college days, there's nothing manly about it. Sorority girls are drunk in public at least three days a week so obviously it doesn't take much masculinity to pull that off.

Bama is 57-27-5 against LSU all time. Obviously Bama is the better program

They’ve screwed over and undermined every coach they have hired for the last 20yrs if the coach didn’t bend the knee to them.
They should never have fired Malzahn and I was extremely relieved when they did. Malzahn brought them to a BCSNCG loss, one SECCG win, and one SECCG loss. Malzahn managed to go 3-5 against Saban, which is a great run in the Iron Bowl by Auburn's historical standards and was a historic run against Saban by any standard.
That was an absolute golden age for Auburn if we view it from a realistic perspective. But their people are totally out of touch with reality, as if they actually think the 7 retrospective national titles they've claimed this offseason are real and they actually are the fifth most successful team in college football history. It's fine for a random fan to be that delusional, but the people in charge need to understand that Auburn has the eighth best all-time winning percentage in the SEC. Eighth place is where they actually fit in this conference, and they need to adjust expectations accordingly.

No, it really hasn’t. Not only are you missing the safety in the UT game, you’re giving full credit for 2 TDs where the defense gave the offense the ball on the other side of the 50yd line (both with 40yd or less to go to the end zone…it’s what won the game in the SC game). You’re also missing the offense giving the other team short fields (particularly the fumble out of halftime in the Miz game that almost cost us the game).
Alright, so 28 instead of 30 in the Tennessee game - that's still more than 22, which was the point of my message.
Your other two points are less relevant. What are we supposed to do, take away points unless the offense drives the length of the field? It's not like the two short fields you mention set the offense up with a first and goal from the one. They still had to move the ball to score. The point about giving the other team short fields doesn't really have anything to do with how much the offense scores. Seems like a reach.
Your post would make sense if my argument was that the offense has been playing at an elite level. Instead, I explicitly state that the offense can do more. My post was pointing out that LSU's offense is even worse.

This is also why they got Jackson Arnold, even though anyone watching that Oklahoma game last year could have told you Arnold's performance wasn't the main factor in the outcome.
That said, it's been pathetic to see Freeze try to pin his ineptitude on the quarterback for the second year in a row. Auburn is dead last (136th) in FBS in sacks allowed, with 37. Definitely most of those are on the offensive line.
re: Schedule: Opponents Teams prior to us
Posted by CrimsonCrusade on 11/2/25 at 10:39 am to Bamafan24
In 2010, basically every opponent had a literal bye before Alabama and the conference rules had to be changed to prevent that. I guess the workaround is to take a figurative bye before Alabama, although 5 literal byes still seems unfair.
re: Diego Pavia "Late Hit" Out of Bounds
Posted by CrimsonCrusade on 11/2/25 at 10:37 am to 87Grad
I'm not sure Pavia could have pulled him down from that position. Certainly looks like the Texas defender still has his arms on him. I have no issue with the call.
As a rule of thumb, Texas is always going to get every call. Whether that's saying a runner with his entire foot on the boundary wasn't out of bounds in the Cotton Bowl against Alabama in 1973, changing the clock rules to give them an extra play in the Big XII championship in 2009, changing the conference rules to avoid their feelings getting hurt by the Horns Down gesture, or waving off a pass interference because their fans didn't like it against Georgia in 2024. I can guarantee you that if the refs had seen any reason to doubt the call and help Texas, they would have found it.

LSU will fight Alabama tooth and nail. If Bama wins it will be ugly. The offense has not scored much the last three weeks.
The last three games the offense has scored 27, 30, and 22. LSU's offense has only gotten past 22 points three times this season - 56 against Southeastern Louisiana, 24 against Vanderbilt, and 23 against A&M (16 before A&M had all its backups in). I'm not disagreeing that the offense can do more, but LSU is a good team to play if you're not scoring much.

Julian Sayin ran off like a fricking pussy instead of competing for the job.
The thread is stupid but this is a reminder of why I root against Sayin. Also I'm really not sure how you can read much into anything he's done this year. Ohio State played Texas, and the offense looked bad in that game. Besides that they've played a schedule easier than several FCS teams, no exaggeration whatsoever.
ETA: Texas is the only currently ranked team Ohio State has played. 4 of their 5 November opponents have losing records. It's a joke.
re: Odd re-occurring theme, we end the first half great, start the second half poorly

Eh we ran the ball way better against Vandy and Missouri then we did against UGA
I certainly wouldn't call it way better.
Georgia - 117 yards on 38 attempts, 3.1 YPC
Vanderbilt - 146 yards on 38 attempts, 3.8 YPC
Missouri - 125 yards on 44 attempts, 2.8 YPC
The Vanderbilt one only looks marginally better because of the 28 yard touchdown with the game decided and a minute to play. There's no getting around that the running game has just been horrendous all year.
re: Alright Nerds YouTube TV alt
Posted by CrimsonCrusade on 10/31/25 at 11:41 am to CrimsonBoz
It's insane that YouTube TV's answer to this was to offer a $20 credit. They're valuing the channels they lost at less than a dollar per channel, when any analyst could tell you these are the most important channels. Live sports are the only reason anyone has any TV service and they've lost most of them, retaining only the sports on NBC, CBS, and Fox, which can legally be accessed for free. Without live sports any TV service is basically worthless, because all other content doesn't need to be seen live and is posted for free either next day or a week later. I imagine they're hemorrhaging subscribers right now.

No need to be an arse. I was fairly sober and couldn’t tell you the snap breakdown at RT yesterday. I saw Carroll out there some but I’ve given up tracking that because sometimes it changes play to play
He's not even right anyway. Formby wasn't replaced, they've just been rotating different groups at RG and RT all season and that continued last night. Formby was in on the last two drives, so it's not like they just benched him.
That guy is always like this. He spent two years glazing Milroe and calling anyone who questioned Milroe a racist with low football IQ. Then when it became impossible to ignore Milroe's deficiencies over his one passing touchdown to eleven turnovers run in his last three games, the guy comes on here and refuses to acknowledge his post history existed. Didn't even have the guts to eat crow.
It's the same in this thread. Insults you by calling you a drunk and then acts holier than thou about being insulted himself. His take is "he was getting whipped" and then he says no one else is breaking down the game like him, they're just insulting players. As though that statement doesn't insult Formby and is some sort of groundbreaking analysis.
It's always this passive-aggressive garbage accusing you of what he himself is doing. He's either trolling or just retarded, but in either case the best choice is just scrolling past.

Teams that bail on the run because their QB is really good, generally find out soon that it's hard to turn back and have any confidence in running at all when you need it and they go the route of all these other pretenders.
I agree with this but does Alabama have any confidence running the ball? Most short yardage situations you see them have to get creative to pick up a yard.

It had already been reserved as a night slot in advance. Slated for kickoff between 5-7 Central.
