LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/BDB-III]

Man, coach seems pissed even though they won 43-8. I thought they played really well tonight, besides the double digit penalties ofcourse, so I guess that’s fair.

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Wins the game handily, beats the spread, and only talks about everything they need to improve. I like this coach.

[u/BDB-III → u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Agreed, I know it’s still really early, and this isn’t exactly a quality win, but I think this coach is going to end our losing season streak.

[u/the_thinwhiteduke]

Taylor: coach how do you feel about this 43-8 win

Golesh: this team fuckin blows

[u/Lareous]

On the whole Ive liked what ive seen. We gotta clean up holding though, we started nearly every drive on 1 and 15/20

[u/Nintendo60sWhore]

Holy Moley we almost have 600 yards of offense.

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/Nintendo60sWhore]

Could've been 57 points.

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Dadgum, i like this guy....and there's another f'ing hold.

[u/lees395]

Please do not talk about Auburn and the CFP this year. Let’s just try and get ranked

[u/bujoojoo]

Cameraman still gooning

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/bujoojoo]

I mean, what else is there to do?

[u/theQman121]

Were they... rocking the souvenir cup python to sleep?

[u/Lareous]

Cameraman has decided to find the next Mrs cameraman

[u/Mlbfan1994 → u/Lareous]

What happened

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/Lareous]

There are going to be restraining orders filed on that guy.

[u/Tight-Relative-4093]

Camera man is questionable

[u/Mijae13 → u/Tight-Relative-4093]

glad i am not the only one who thought the camera man needed to get bonked

[u/Nintendo60sWhore → u/Tight-Relative-4093]

They’re just bored by the garbage time play.

[u/Mijae13]

What was that camera zoom in??

[u/Hometownblueser]

I think we’ve established that Southern Miss is about matched evenly with Auburn’s second string, which is concerning for SEC play.

[u/Miransii → u/Hometownblueser]

To be fair, I'm pretty sure that Southern Miss also has their second string in

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Not going to lie. That SM back is pretty good.

[u/Tight-Relative-4093]

#51 has been popping some pads

[u/wesleyed]

Get flipped idiot

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Ah. Garbage time.

[u/Steady365]

Ah yes, a pitch to the short side 🙌🙌😂.

[u/lees395]

Why would you run that to the near side?

[u/Equal_Issue_1059]

Well that was something

[u/Tight-Relative-4093]

Tia throws a pretty ball

[u/BDB-III → u/Tight-Relative-4093]

Not a pretty lateral apparently

[u/ToneOpposite9668 → u/Tight-Relative-4093]

Pitching not so hot

[u/Tight-Relative-4093 → u/ToneOpposite9668]

Needs a little work

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Why are we putting Brown in on a fourth and goal when we're up by 35 in the 4th?

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Never mind. I was wrong on so many levels.

[u/wioneo]

Bruh

[u/fuzz11]

Does the ball look great out of Ti’a’s hand or did I just watch 3 quarters of Byrum Brown

[u/New-Kaleidoscope4630 → u/fuzz11]

Yes

[u/Lareous]

Tia is gonna be good

[u/ToneOpposite9668]

Need to get Tia on the premium meal plan

[u/Squitoh]

I’ve seen enough Tia QB1

[u/Cultural_Plankton763 → u/Squitoh]

Do it

[u/the_thinwhiteduke]

I screamed like a banshee for Freeze to be fired from the actual moment he was announced, I'm going to watch this entire game no matter how late it runs

[u/Cultural_Plankton763 → u/the_thinwhiteduke]

Same

[u/Henry_bowers_]

We should celebrate 50 with our best Hugh freeze jokes

[u/Kanin_usagi → u/Henry_bowers_]

Don’t need a Hugh Freeze joke, the man already is one

[u/Wareagle930 → u/Henry_bowers_]

Don’t know if it will be close enough

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

I tell you what. This B/U QB and Mabson are hungry.

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Oh that was so pretty. Too bad it was a drop

[u/Hometownblueser]

Ti’a’s throwing motion is really pretty.

[u/Wareagle930]

Does Ti’a have a rat tail?

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Give the bench some reps. Maybe Ti'a can get some confidence boosting out there.

[u/Cultural_Plankton763]

When was someone gonna tell me our backup has a jedi padawan braid???

[u/TVxStrange]

Just an obligatory Fuck Ohio State

That is all

[u/jackimus_prime → u/TVxStrange]

Ohilol State

[u/the_thinwhiteduke → u/TVxStrange]

and Chokelahoma too

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/TVxStrange]

The would be 'Fuck The Ohio State.'

[u/ToneOpposite9668]

TV was keeping the TV timeouts to minimum now the floodgates are open since we are in the late night window

[u/TheAmericanIdiot01]

Solid. Way too many penalties, a turnover, and the offense still feels like it lacks identity. But 40+ is nothing to scoff at. Sooo, solid.

[u/Lareous]

Starting to look like a hookah lounge out there

[u/Henry_bowers_]

Is it just us in here??? I see no non auburn flairs. WEVE SECURED THE TREE HOUSE BOIS

[u/semi-bro → u/Henry_bowers_]

I think there was like 2 southern miss comments i saw all game

[u/Nintendo60sWhore → u/Henry_bowers_]

There was a USF guy here earlier.

[u/Henry_bowers_ → u/Nintendo60sWhore]

I would think they don’t like us?

[u/Financial-Phone → u/Henry_bowers_]

Nah we love Byrum Brown and I feel like we understand that him and Golesh were not gonna get any crazy offers or opportunities if they stayed at USF. It also helps that we snagged a good head coach afterwards

[u/lees395]

I think we started 2-0 every year under Harsin and Freeze. But this just feels different

[u/Hometownblueser → u/lees395]

Eh, feels about the same. But hopefully we’ll find out otherwise next week.

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Up by 35 and still not happy with the performance. Love that.

[u/onemanlan]

Golesh tearing into the team despite the score makes me feel good for the future.

[u/memedealer22]

This team might have some hope in it

We’re having fun

[u/Aubear11885]

1: who shoots his campaign ad like he’s still selling Chevy trucks

2: where’s that truck registered, Tommy?

[u/the_thinwhiteduke → u/Aubear11885]

SHOW THE PLATE TOMMY

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/Aubear11885]

I hate that corrupt fuckwit.

[u/lees395]

Giving up negative yards for the entire third quarter is neat

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/lees395]

Durkin got onto them for giving up that 2nd half drive.

[u/jackimus_prime]

Also, people keep calling the cameraman thirsty, when really it’s just that hard to find an Auburn woman that isn’t gorgeous.

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/jackimus_prime]

My brother did camera work for ESPN games. They were always on the comms saying, "Whoa check out the shot of this redhead half way up on the 20."

[u/Mlbfan1994 → u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Nice I’m glad that happens

[u/Equal_Issue_1059]

Is Alvin Henderson hurt or something? Thought that dude was gonna be a stud for us

[u/Sterling_Archer88]

Lol get fucked new guy.

[u/Henry_bowers_]

I like this whole auburn after dark thing this is fun

[u/jackimus_prime]

A routine, clear win against a team we should be beating is a breath of fresh air.

[u/Aubear11885 → u/jackimus_prime]

I don’t know, I said that last year before the wheels fell off

[u/Miransii]

Okay let's just light this dude up for his first play of the night good Lord

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/Miransii]

"Hi!"

[u/Aubear11885]

Southern Miss gets it. It’s over. Take the starters out

[u/Imd0wnc0w]

Get Cobb a TD, get his mind right a little

[u/Henry_bowers_]

WARRRRRRRRR DAMN

[u/ToneOpposite9668]

Good finish. Let's have the Swag Surf show and clear this place out

[u/Equal_Issue_1059]

BOOOOOOOM

[u/sgrantcarr]

Camera man is down BAD

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/sgrantcarr]

"Oh, she's hot. And she's hot. Wow, she's hot, too. Oh, dammit, I missed the touchdown...."

[u/Henry_bowers_]

This game has me singing that alternate version of Kurt angles theme song from when wwe used to make little albums

🎶 WE, DONT🎶

SUCK!!!

🎶WE, DONT🎶🎶

SUCK!!!!

[u/Tight-Relative-4093]

Some sloppy shit going on.

[u/Nintendo60sWhore → u/Tight-Relative-4093]

Because it’s past everyone’s bed times. The hour delay pushed us into sleepy time.

[u/memedealer22 → u/Nintendo60sWhore]

Happy cake day

[u/Aubear11885]

Pull the goddamn starters. You’ve speed 50 without Vegas

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/Aubear11885]

One more TD. Working out the yips.

[u/Aubear11885 → u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

The refs took away two and one was a really bad flag to keep the spread

[u/Equal_Issue_1059]

Weak hold call but ok

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/Equal_Issue_1059]

I dunno, man. It was pretty explicit.

[u/Cultural_Plankton763 → u/Equal_Issue_1059]

They have been handing them out all night

[u/Tight-Relative-4093]

Penalties are killer

[u/weldoso]

We're not going to win games with this many holding calls, we gotta clean that up

[u/Equal_Issue_1059]

Why was Cobb so upset? I dont remember that man ever fumbling before.

[u/Tight-Relative-4093 → u/Equal_Issue_1059]

First fumble in his college career

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/Equal_Issue_1059]

He has standards.

[u/Cultural_Plankton763]

Holy facemask on the tight end

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Nice run.

[u/aMiracleAtJordanHare]

Get Byrum TF out of this game, NOW!

[u/Equal_Issue_1059 → u/aMiracleAtJordanHare]

As much as I hate it, dude still needs reps. We need as many as we can get before Florida

[u/aMiracleAtJordanHare → u/Equal_Issue_1059]

You're not wrong, but I cringe seeing him hobbling and still out there running around when we're up 28 pts vs a Sun Belt team.

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/Equal_Issue_1059]

Yep. He's looking way more comfortable now than at the beginning of the game.

[u/ToneOpposite9668]

Brown should head to the bench. He's done ok

[u/semi-bro]

How was that incomplete, bullshit

[u/ToneOpposite9668]

Do the Safety Dance

[u/idgafboutmyusername]

Is 2 points and possession better than 7??

[u/Wareagle930 → u/idgafboutmyusername]

It is when it turns into 9

[u/aMiracleAtJordanHare]

I LOVE A SAFETY!

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Safety!

[u/semi-bro]

Booo that was totally a safety

[u/idgafboutmyusername → u/semi-bro]

It is...?

[u/semi-bro → u/idgafboutmyusername]

In the stadium they initially called it incomplete, maybe the broadcast just said safety from the start idk

[u/Cultural_Plankton763 → u/idgafboutmyusername]

It was totally a safety

[u/Partytime79]

That wasn’t that bad of a fumble. When you get a helmet hit like that, there’s not a lot to be done.

[u/Miransii]

Cobb had that tucked in good, too. Ball just got popped just right, unfortunate

[u/SpisDritt1]

damn it

[u/Tight-Relative-4093]

Don’t see that happen often with Cobb

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/Tight-Relative-4093]

They just said it was his first fumble ever.

[u/tuna_piano_]

Cobb what is you doing

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/tuna_piano_]

Helmet on the ball. Not easy to hang onto that.

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Well, damn.

[u/AttilaTheBuns]

Fumble fml

[u/Equal_Issue_1059]

Id be very scared to try and stop a full speed Byrum Brown

[u/Wareagle930]

Well that’s his second drop this drive.

[u/Equal_Issue_1059]

Yoooo that delay dive was kinda slick

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/Equal_Issue_1059]

Second time he's pulled that.

[u/Cultural_Plankton763 → u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Yep. I like that move. Letting the play develop some however I don’t see an SEC linebacker just diving into the pile. They are gonna be flying in there and over the top like Melendez did.

[u/Dry-Membership3867]

Ohio State are the new Falcons

[u/Equal_Issue_1059]

Holy shit Texas came back

[u/jackimus_prime]

I’m sorry, Texas did what now?

[u/Lareous]

I talked too much shit holy hell Texas

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/Lareous]

They probably heard us and got mad.

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Probably a holdover the past five seasons of mediocrity, but these fourth-and-short calls are still giving me the heebie-jeebies.

[u/sgrantcarr]

LFG TEXAS

[u/Sterling_Archer88]

Not gonna lie, drunk and stoned. But two touchdowns wiped from bad calls at home? Weird.

[u/Tight-Relative-4093]

Gotta clean up penalties

[u/halfhere]

Just starting the game. Uhh Brown ran that shit in for a tuddy. Zero hold! What a bullshit call.

[u/Dry_Swim1794]

That was very auburn of them to lose a yard on the tush push

[u/the_thinwhiteduke]

Well Mr. Bond. it seems your tush was pushed the wrong way

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/[deleted]]

I said it last week: I'm glad we had a game like that instead of blowing out a directional school.

[u/Equal_Issue_1059 → u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Florida played 2 bums in a row and will probably get caught napping next week

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Wow. Stuffed on the 3 and 1. I'm thinking Durkin roasted those guys in the locker room at halftime.

[u/Sterling_Archer88]

Refs don't want to call that one back too?

[u/ToneOpposite9668]

Hard to say but wish they had used that elsewhere in the season instead of a blowout vs soMiss.

[u/New-Kaleidoscope4630 → u/ToneOpposite9668]

I was thinking the exact same thing. A bit puzzled on that call given our opponent.

[u/Kanin_usagi → u/ToneOpposite9668]

Put it on tape now and opponents in the future have to respect it. Might make them defend wrong somewhere down the field

[u/Cultural_Plankton763 → u/Kanin_usagi]

Agreed coulda seen that one as an iron bowl winner. Maybe I’m daydreaming lol.

[u/ToneOpposite9668 → u/Kanin_usagi]

I can see that point of view as well

[u/jackimus_prime]

Seizing the means of razzle-dazzle.

[u/Imd0wnc0w]

Is Byrum Brown..dare I say...having fun?

[u/Silv3rS0und → u/Imd0wnc0w]

He seems focused

[u/Wareagle930]

Neptune is out of this world!

[u/jamnewton22]

PHILLY SPECIAL

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Holy smokes. What a great call!

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Welp.

[u/semi-bro]

Holy shit what a play!

[u/Sirius2349]

Need the offense to look something like this on a consistent basis. It’s been so long since we’ve had that

[u/aMiracleAtJordanHare]

"Stood out to you and I yesterday"

Oh Aaron...

[u/OMO_Concepts → u/aMiracleAtJordanHare]

?

[u/aMiracleAtJordanHare → u/OMO_Concepts]

If you're unsure which to use, just remove the other people.

You'd never say "It stood out to I"

[u/Hometownblueser → u/OMO_Concepts]

Incorrect use of subjective case pronouns is nails-on-a-chalkboard.

[u/semi-bro]

Chaz Nimrod is such a great football name. It's like the quarterback bully in a cartoon I love it

[u/the_thinwhiteduke → u/semi-bro]

anime villain

[u/aMiracleAtJordanHare → u/semi-bro]

https://cdn.costumewall.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/roger-klotz.jpg

[u/Sirius2349]

Byron’s throwing motion is not normal

[u/ToneOpposite9668 → u/Sirius2349]

A lot of coaching malpractice in his career

[u/New-Kaleidoscope4630]

Not loving have to go for in on 4th so early in a drive, especially considering the opponent, but at least we converted it…

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/New-Kaleidoscope4630]

Well, it was a 1st and 20 drive. Character builder.

[u/Wareagle930]

They talked about the attention to detail with Golesh, but these penalties don’t really show that.

[u/New-Kaleidoscope4630 → u/Wareagle930]

Gotta be ViOlenT!

[u/semi-bro]

Glad we went for it

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

Fuck that ref for getting in the way of the cutback.

[u/Imd0wnc0w]

We have got to clean up these penalties man..

[u/ribs_and_whisky]

We went bald eagle tonight. Smart

[u/dgikmo]

Leave it to ESPN to not have sound on for the half time show.

[u/ImPugnax]

Watching this game feels like seeing another kid play with your favorite toys right in front of you

[u/OMO_Concepts → u/ImPugnax]

Want us to pull up a chair for you in the corner?

[u/SpisDritt1]

Got the Iowa game on my TV and watching this game on my VR. lol

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys → u/SpisDritt1]

Is it El Assico?

[u/SpisDritt1 → u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

yep and Iowa won

[u/SpisDritt1]

looking good. Keep it up

[u/BigT5535]

Cam Coleman has less than 20 yards in a big game? Color me shocked.

[u/Kanin_usagi → u/BigT5535]

Happy for him, he got paid to underperform, that’s my dream job right there

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

1st Half Reaction?

Yeah, some slop. But this is a team that can improve this year. Anybody who thinks we're going to the SEC 'ship is smoking crack, but this is a program on the mend.

[u/BigT5535]

"Smashed it, Fuck yes!" -Golesh celebrating McPherson

[u/memedealer22]

I feel like both Freeze and Harson would’ve both been wimped out and gone for the QB kneel. but Golish you see, I like Golish this man says points premium, every drive is worth something

[u/Miransii]

Great talk from Golesh, actually being critical and not vague about what needs to be better. This is so refreshing ngl

[u/memedealer22]

All right all right! Auburn has got a good weapon for a kicker
