If you think we got our butts handed to us because of Etling then I just do even know what to say to that...
Agreed, the stupidity levels after a loss is quite embarrassing.

Well, next year is a definite rebuilding year as well... so we are pretty screwed for a while.

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

Our team played like a D Line coach was running the show. We were undisciplined and overly aggressive at times.
Just like a defensive line

I thought you were going to say "after sleeping on it a few days, it wasn't as bad as I initially thought. The Tigers fought hard and although the score looked bad, if we'd have caught a few breaks we could have won"

A lot of players get yelled at today.

I'm not so sure they will lose to either UGA or AU to be honest. Auburn Offence is putrid and UGA is starting a freshman QB against a good State Defense.
I'm not saying MSU is ready to compete with Bama but they are as good or better than AU and UGA right now in my opinion.
Problem is the SEC is really, really, really, week this year(Besides BAMA of course).

We need Lawrence back, Key in shape, Alexander without his club and Herron back with his head screwed on straight. If we get those guys back in the fold, our D could be formidable. That's a lot of ifs but it could happen. We need some good luck.

quote:Sad to say that it looked like that to me too. Last time we hired a "close to down home" HC it was USM's popular C. Hallman-and you know where that took us. Now we have somebody from our home state who loves LSU, but so far doesn't look like he can HC our Tigers out of a wet paper bag. I really want to be wrong... this season will tell the tale.
the team we watched Saturday night looked almost exactly like O's teams at Ole Miss looked. Poor discipline and costly mistakes. So what exactly has he learned again?

A few days?
It hasn't even been 48 hours. Though seems like it has been days.

After last year's debacle, Georgia appears to be on a mission. Auburn's defense is as advertised, extremely good and held a really good Clemson offense to 14 points. I don't believe State's defense is as stout as they showed against us and if you keep Fitzgerald from running and under pressure you can shut the down. After all that, you may be right. Should be an interesting game Saturday The Dawgs v. The Dogs.

I agree with nearly everything you wrote. A good post. However, you can only partially blame the coaching. And that's not making excuses for the coaches. They are to blame more than anyone else for the loss. However, if you caught some of the post game interviews with some of the players, they all said that the coaches prepared them for exactly what they got. I can't blame the coaches for the senseless penalties and for extremely poor execution by the players. They lacked the very basic fundamentals of the game that they learned in pop warner, camps, high school and all the way through present day.
You are exactly right about the team giving up. The coaches seemed so shocked by what was happening that they forgot to coach, and that is completely, and obviously, unacceptable. The only difference between the coaches and myself was that my jaw dropped to my floor while theirs dropped to the field. Etling and the other leaders on the team showed no leadership at all. And for everyone who keeps saying, "it's only one game. Get over it." Well...it's not just one game and I'm not f*****g going to get over it until the team starts playing LSU football. I still feel absolutely miserable over this game. I can accept a loss (sometimes anyway!), but this was no ordinary loss. I know the players are better than this. They know they are better than this. The coaches know they are better than this. I think we, the fans, deserve better than this.
With all that being said, maybe I'll work on being a better fan. I have to remember these are just very young men and they are going to make mistakes. This game was a 60 minute mistake, but I have to believe they will be much better than this going forward. To start calling for coach O to be fired and other stupid s**t like that though, is not being a good fan. So, I'm still a coach O fan, an LSU fan, a college football fan and a Louisiana fan, and I won't waver from that just bc of this loss.
Eric...good post again. I used it to launch my frustrations, so my apologies for that!

The QB position is the least of our problems right now. Seriously.

I watched it again, we were still doing OK until Alexander got hurt. I had a problem with the hurry up offense when Our Defence was depleted . Their first two run plays seems to surprise us and they were just runs off tackle?
Toliver caused a couple huge gains one being a TD by running up to the line on a play action, he once blocked two of our guys out of the play.
We would shift and they would counter ,didn't bother them at all. Vanilla offensive game plan , no screens no short passes?
Just a Bad game. Everyone has them.
I think they beat Aubern easily and we will to.

At this point, whoever plays QB is irrelevant.
We aren't going anywhere with Etling.
We aren't going anywhere with a true freshman.
With this offensive line and WR corps, we aren't going anywhere with Tom Brady.

Defense - Over-matched and Lost
Offense - Who we were and are
Special Teams - Same old, same old

State will lose their next two..@ Georgia & @ Auburn, then later at home v. Alabama. Where we go from here is anybody's guess.
I say the Georgia game is pick 'em, and Moo State should beat auburn.
