Atlanta Braves Thread (I HURT MYSELF TODAY TO SEE IF I STILL FEEL)

[GreatWhiteNorth]

We are playing without 8 starters. Yeah we got drilled. Still 5-2 and great shot at Atlanta. Losing 41-17 to Vandy is embarrassing. Giving up 700 yards to Troy is embarrassing.

Agree to disagree. The scoreboard doesn't say "yeah but UT had a bunch of injuries". It's gonna say something like 52-10. I'm embarrassed, regardless of how many starters we're down.

I want this Pants back

Me too, man. I tried. I gave my all. 4 figure financial layout this weekend and this is what I saw.

It's so bad the Bama fans left with 10 minutes left. Sad.

And the worst part is I have to go back to alabama tomorrow.

Injuries are a fair excuse if you fight hard and just come up short. They're not the reason you lose a conference game by 40. That happens because the other team is just on another level than you altogether.

That's Alabama period. Other than Ole Miss' gimmicky offense and a fluke Auburn victory they've done this for three straight years.

If I never have to hear Verne and Gary again, it'll be too soon.

You understand that almost our whole OL was out for most of the game today, right? That's not just garden-variety "injuries." Even Alabama would look like ass if you took their whole starting OL away.

We played three freshman, a true sophomore and our backup center against the number 1 team in the country

Not too mention our two starting LB's, starting DT, starting CB, and another backup LB.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Also fair enough. It's Florida or Georgia

Our success depends on going into Georgia and taking recruits away from them. It's practically a zero-sum game between us. It's not a coincidence that their rise in the 2000s started at the same time as our decline.

Completely fair point.

Either way, Bama isn't the most important

 

[Vercingetorix]

Jashon/Weisman should be back after the the bye. We put up 700 yards against TAMU. Missouri is the only game left to worry about

Well, that's what I said. We have to get some guys back on our OL. Richmond/Boulware/Thomas/Jones/Tatum isn't going to get it done against damn near anyone.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Completely fair point.

Either way, Bama isn't the most important

It's the one I care the most about but it's not close to being the most important from a competitive sense. I admit that.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Z, what's your take on Alabama v aTm next weekend?

And anyone else, for that matter.

If Bama plays like this they're unbeatable. I think TAMU will score some but Bama is gonna run all over them IYAM

 

[zjcvols]

It's ****ing scary that this is Saban's best QB he's had and he has Kiffin as his OC

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I kind of think Kiffin might pop smoke after this season.

 

[zjcvols]

I kind of think Kiffin might pop smoke after this season.

Highly possible. He's 40 and maybe the best play caller in the game. Someone is gonna hire him.

Of course Steve Sarkisian is right there waiting in the wings

 

[zjcvols]

Good news. We are going to Atlanta and have our young guys gaining experience for next year.

I think you're right. Bama will handle A&M pretty easily but not easily as they did us. :wink:

 

[Mr_Henley]

We're still going to Atlanta. We are going to get healthy after the bye. Yeah this is bad but it's not embarrassing. This was due to happen.

Getting beat by nearly 40 at home by Alabama and giving up 400 rushing yards is (and should be) embarrassing.

The bye week will come at probably the best possible week for us.

 

[Mr_Henley]

If I never have to hear Verne and Gary again, it'll be too soon.

Verne is hanging it up after this season I think.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Verne is hanging it up after this season I think.

And Lee Corso. Bonus.

 

[Mr_Henley]

Hello everyone this is Dave Neal, along side, Andre Ware..."

The Jefferson Pilot comeback

 

[Mr_Henley]

At least I get to watch WSU vs UCLA tonight.

I can actually watch WSU play and be indifferent about the small things. Just fist pump during good plays, laugh at every close up of Leach, and then see who they play the next week.

I'm sure there's a Blackbeard circle jerk board you can join that'll make up for it.

You can talk about how Leach loses to an FCS team every fscking year.
