Stick to the agenda, crayon eater!! You continue to amaze me with every one of your shite takes and all of the spinning of statements. It's obvious that O had confidence in him or he wouldn't have sent him out there on back-to-back drives with the game on the line.

Take a few days off and you and all of your girlfriends go get a Brazilian or something. LSU's next loss you can come back and talk about how terrible everything is again.

In the meantime, I'm going to put in a request to Chicken for a safe space for all you tards to reside until we REALLY need you and all of your shite takes.

Bawser = bowser= dumb dog

Go bark at the moon.

You're 2 points down with 4 minutes left in the game, and you want go for it? If you were a coach, and you made that decision, you would find yourself commenting on a sports board. Oh, wait a sec, we are on a sports board.

Icing our own kicker? If it had been Les, we would have gotten a delay of game while trying to decide. Got the time out, got the field goal. What's the problem?

Some folks just can't stand it when a coach doesn't do what "they" thought he should do, and it works. Just ruins their whole freakin week. Then, here comes Saturday, and they do it all over again.

The announcers didn't. They said that O should kick, which he should have. Taking a 4 point lead took Auburn's great kicker out of the equation.

LSU won the game and stopped Auburn every time in the 4th quarter. Therefore, it was a smart decision. Culp made a 38-yarder in The Swamp, so a 42-yarder at home was not much more. One play puts you in the lead. We could have gotten stuffed on 4th and 1 and turned the ball over on downs. You take your shot at getting the lead there. I could have seen making either decision and I wouldn't say either was boneheaded.

He's talking about the kick to take the lead by 1.

Making the field goal meant Auburn needed a TD instead of a FG on their last drive! We didn't have a 7 point lead at that time we had a 1 pt lead! It was the right thing to do. If we were up my 3-4 or so the go for it.

I agree with some of what you said, but don't be a bitch and start RAing people because you don't agree with them. Leave that for Placebeaux.

Don't care that we made it - that was a stupid decision. I think we can all agree. Any other coach would have gone for it with 4th and less than a yard. You try to get more yards with a new set of downs, make it easier on your kicker, and end the game with little to no time left. We gave Auburn another good chance to win it - and had we missed, you guys all would have been calling for Coach Yaw to be fired, AGAIN. Such a low percentage call, and he got lucky. Sounds like nothing has changed with firing Les - we're going to still see the same bonehead decisions over and over.



poo woo

He didn't ice his kicker, the play clock was at 2 seconds. If he doesn't call time out it's a delay of game.

It really is confounding. Got motherfrickers on here saying they “hate” Flynn to Byrd in 07 because it wasn’t the call they would have made as coach of their imaginary football team. I’d hate to see the bruises on their kids/wives/dogs.

Wow. Did u not watch the game ? First of all auburn stuffed the run behind the LOS all day. Did u not see the goaline stand ? 2nd of all Conner is very accurate his only miss was down the middle but short due to the wind. And 3rd our defense held them to 6 passing yards. Great call by coach O. He was composed all game and made several smart decisions that contributed to the win. Auburn led the sec in TFL and we can't trust Etling to throw there.

If he had missed it, everyone would be saying we should have gone for it.

You do realize that Auburn has the best field kicker in the college game right now? If we make it and we did, forces Auburn to score the TD. Plus, Connor needs to be put in pressure situations. The right decision was made.

The 42 harder gave us the lead.

Why wouldn't you try for it in that scenario?

And if he’d made the 4th down conversion, there’d be some arse hat on here claiming going for it was dumb and we should have kicked. At some point you just have to STFU and enjoy a great win.

And it only got that low because they thought the refs were going to measure, and didn't have the fg team ready in time.


The refs should have measured btw

And if we don't make the first? Auburn has 50 seconds to set up for a winning field goal.
