You know, you really could have simply spared yourself the time and TD server space by typing out "I was wrong, good game."

But that would require you to deflate your ego, which you obviously have no courage to do.

So, thanks for the words I guess?

I thought I was giving the people what they wanted? A long/painful post by an opposing team's fan after a loss. Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?

From what I gather, my being post being solid or complete shite depends upon the reader's ability to read. :rotflmao:

For the record, DJ DID fumble the ball. It didn't look like he did initially, but when they showed the replay from a different angle it was clear that it was a fumble. I'm not saying we got hosed on the call. It was called correctly.

To those who think BP is a classless douche, I can see why you'd think that after yesterday. I reserve my right to believe that Miles is at least mildly retarded. It's all good.

So, what a helluva 1st quarter right?

The game couldn't have started off any better for us. I was giddy with anticipation of beating the crap out of LSU and claiming a spot in the NCG. Riducule of Les Miles' inability to clap properly was at an all time high. I started to try and think of the first thread I would start here.

Then the fun stopped. A 15 yard face-mask and a poorly covered punt swung momentum in favor of your Tigers. We seemed to regain our composure after a couople of body blows and were driving the ball. Then, what appeared to be a first down with the ball popping out after Dennis Johnson was down turned into a turnover. Which turned into a beautifully executed drive for the lead.

That's ok. We've been a 2nd half team all year and Bobby has an incredible knack for rallying the team. I wasn't ready to count us out. The problem with having to rally in the 2nd half is that we faced a team with superior talent an depth. I think the Hogs proved that we can hang with anyone with our starters. The proof is in the 2 deep, though.

Your O-line and RB's were everything you guys professed them to be. They controlled the line of scrimmage, fought for extra yards, and wore us the frick out. Jefferson didn't play like the Jordan Jefferson us Hog fans have come to know and love. He played well after that 1st quarter. Randle kept finding the soft spot in the zone and it didn't matter what blitz we brought, we couldn't get to JJ anymore. Gassed.

Your defense was as expected. The game plan was well designed. The deep threats were taken away, turning play action passes into sacks. The run game was more successful against you than it was against Bama. I think that was due to your D expecting to see a lot more pass plays. Our runs were more successful when we had Small in at FB. I don't know why it was Broderick Green that got the ball with Small leading the way and DJ had to run out of the singleback set..that puzzled me. We had some success with crossing routes and curls, but those seemed to disappear in the 2nd half. I'll just chalk it up to a great defense with a great gameplan.

The game changer (and I HATE to say this) was the honey badger. That little shite punched us in the throat with that punt return and then came right back with the FF in LSU territory.

It's amazing how much talent will be returning next year. Who will be your key losses due to graduation/draft? It should be illegal to have that much talent on one team.

The game was won/lost in the trenches, as expected. Per Petrino, we have quite a bit of talent that we haven't seen on the field yet and he's excited about them. I'm going to miss the 17 seniors that helped build our program to what it is now. A top 10 caliber team that isn't quite ready to eat at the big boy table for a NC. I think we'll get there. I have no doubt we'll be able to compete with anyone in the country at the skill positions. I hope we can add depth to our lines. To be fair, we did lose several players off our O-line that we were going to be counting on before the season even began.

Congrats on the victory. Glad we get you and Bama at home next year. I think we're just beginning our run as a nationally recognized powerhouse. It's fun to be playing for more than something than just a spoiler.

Flame away.

Thanks!

sorry last time i was in a little bit of a rush to type, seeing im at work, but i will gladly take my time for you. Lets see,...

Dennis Johnson
Ole Miss: 15 - 160
Vandy: 9 - 52
USC: 15 - 86
Tenn: 11 - 97
Miss State: 14 - 98
A&M: 8 - 54
BAMA: 3 - -3

well by those stats alone i can tell you that he is a very good rusher... against teams with horrible defenses, those -3 yard scare me (ooooooh). Now when we look at the RB that have faced us, i tend to see a little pattern when it comes to running. Lets take the best two RB in the nation

Trent Richardson: 23 - 89
LaMichael James: 18 - 54

now can you explain what makes him soooooo good? ill be waiting....

---

Really? You want to throw a 3 rush game against Bama in there, ok. How about your starter Ware's line: 16 attempts, 29 yards, 1.8 ypc.

How about you try watching DJ run if you want to see how good he is? Those teams with good RB's that you've faced don't also possess the passing game the Hogs bring so good luck stacking the box.

lol and i can almost promise you once you loose and realize that Joe did nothing for you and that the fact yall have an abscence of a RB will give us more time to pressue the QB and drop a few more in coverage that your pass happy offense wont do a damn thing, thats why its good to have people who can run and people who can catch, not just one so throw the ball and see what happens

---

God damnit.

1) LOSE, not "loose"
2) Dennis Johnson averages 6.7 ypc, more than any of your RB's. 148 rushing yards pg in a predominanty passing offense does not mean we lack a running game.
3) I'm not sure what your last point was, try again. Only, make it English this time.

that seems to be the consensus thought is that we will and you shall see Joe will either not touch the ball or fair catch it cause he knows HB7 & RB13 will be coming to lay him on his arse and most likely force a fumble for a td lol

---

Joe isn't scared of anybody. Maybe you forgot the last time in BR where he got rocked, only to stand up right after while (I believe it was Jackson) laid there with sand in his vag. Somebody better tell Wing to keep his head on a swivel because he's going to be needed to assist in trying to bring Joe down.

You Rantards keep thinking Joe isn't a phenomenal punt returner. Just kick it to him.

Not me, I was taking your direct quote and trying to logically make sense of the statement because I wasn't understanding where you got the idea from.

Oh, I don't know...I've watched a lot of sports and seen some things. If this game was played on paper you guys would have lost to Alabama.
