Black Eye Bludgeoning for the blackout crowd

Well I really wish the shoe were on the other foot and the Sabanites were the ones being tharshed but I can't say I don't take some satisfaction from  watcing the pompous Georgia fans get their black shirts shoved up their black holes.

Last year I was at the Auburn blackout and those egotistical UGA fans ACTUALLY thought the reason they won because their stupid black shirts intimidated the Auburn players. How stupid can you be? Well at least the "mystique" of the black jersey will be buried for all time after this game.

Whats funny is how much the comentators are slathering the Sabanites with platitudes and praise. Yes, Alabama is playing very inspired and efficient fottball, but they aren't doing anything special. They are taking advantage of a Georgia's mistakes (and boy aren't they making a bunch!!!) and making those stupid thugs that make up Georgias team look like just that.

Now Coach Franklin, take a seat and review the film of the 1st half of the UGA/AL game and see how you play offense in the SEC. You line up against your opponent with two running backs and two wide outs, you fire off the line and punch you opponent in the mouth, while  your running back plows into the secondary for 6- 8 yards. THEN when your opponent comes up to play the run, you fake the run on play action and then you throw the ball down field. Its not hard but you have to be creative and keep your opponent off balance and of course YOU MUST EXECUTE. This is exactly what Alabama is doing tonight and they are decimating UGA. UGA probably thought they could throw their jerseys on the field and still win but now they are being shown the folly of their arrogance and they're poor preparation. Its almost like I'm watching a video game I'm playing, Alabama is making the play calls I would have, like the RB draw from the shotgun on 3rd and Goal from the 7 that put them up 24-0. Georgia played a nickel package and left the middle of the defense wide open for the handoff and Coffey walked into the end zone. YOU HAVE TO CALL PLAYS THAT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR OPPONENTS DEFENSIVE ALIGNMENT!!!! I am sick of seeing us play INTO our opponents defensive alignment. Our play calling is so predictable and even more so when we line up at the line of scrimmage. It is a tribute to our players that they have been able to move the ball at all running that farce of an offense the Franklin has sold Tuberville. Coach Franklin I don't like the spread offense because its a cheap gimmick like the run and shoot, its great for high schools and flag football but if you want to beat the MEN who play in the SEC you have to play a MAN'S OFFENSIVE SCHEME AND BEAT YOUR OPPONENT!! Is it that hard to admit you are wrong? Surely it can't be any harder than watching your prolific offense be ground into hamburger week in and week out. If you can turn this around I will be the first to congratulate you and say I should have been patient, nothing would make me happier. But I have seen a lot of football in my life and I know what wins at every level, strong defense, a strong running attack and a passing attack that is just good enough to take advantage of a defense playing the run. Its tried and true and every winning team does it. Can anybody name me a team that won a National Title or a Super Bowl with a gimmick offense? Florida? Chris Leak was NOT running the spread offense my friends. Maybe the St Louis Rams? But they had a great ground game in Marshall Faulk. I just don't believe it can be done. There is no shame in trying but when the day is done, football is about who wins in the trenches. Even a slow running back looks good when the defensive line is blown five yards off the ball.

 

Of course now Alabama is showing they aren''t world beaters either. Here comes UGA!

Thank You...

You just saved me a lot of typing. I 100% agree. I am still a student of SEC football, but even I saw everything you need to know about beating AL and GA last night. THAT WAS FUNDAMENTAL SEC FOOTBALL. Mistakes and all. Less GA reverse in the second half, that was just straight up SEC football. My phone was ringing at 10pm last night with National Champ wannabes claiming they are back. All we have do is watch. Saban is not a genius. Good football coach maybe, he did nothing special to beat GA. He played on their weaknesses. GA’s comeback in the second half…the same thing. NOW, I am not wanting Tuberville’s or Franklin’s head on a stick. I just want AU football back. Straight up ram it in their throats AU football. WAR EAGLE….

YO

I have decided in light of Saturday’s game against Tennessee that the problem at Auburn isn’t Chris Todd. The guy had some momentum going until he got benched for the train wreck we all love and wished was actually good-Kodi Burns.

Anyways, as I was saying, the problem I will now agree is in the absolutely IDIOTIC play calling of Tony Franklin(the O-line hasn’t helped a whole lot either), but the fact of the matter is. That offense looked in sync and capable on the second drive of the game. More imaginative play calling would be nice. But, Franklin has shown me why he couldn’t find work. Like I told MattCo, I am tired of Franklin blaming himself THEN not fixing it! Oh well,

War Eagle!

Glad to see you're back...

…from your one-game suspension for temporary insanity…

by War Eagle Atlanta on Sep 29, 2008 8:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

I agree...

Alabama IS NOTHING special because if it weren’t for UGA’s penalties, Alabama wouldn’t have came CLOSE to winning! They still suck mightily and they WILL lose the next six games on their schedule finishing the season 5-6 and they will run Nick Saban out of town because he’s already proven he’s the worst coach in all of sports.

But what about the SEC office verifying missed calls on UGA’s punt return for a TD and their punt return that set them up for a simple TD? Just because it’s Alabama, doesn’t mean you have to bring up UGA’s mistakes and not ours.

Yawn…

Maybe...

You guys will win another MNC this year so we can look forward to you ammending your earlier post on Bama’s national championships… Huh? Huh?

by War Eagle Atlanta on Sep 30, 2008 5:39 PM CDT up reply actions  

MNC?

Go tell that to ALL THE OTHER TEAMS who’ve rightfully went about the same method of “claiming” (or being recognized as) national champions as we have. Don’t envy us, just accept it that we have more LEGITIMATE NATIONAL TITLES THAN YOU DO ILLEGITIMATE SEC TITLES!

1925: Rose Bowl 10-0

1926: Rose Bowl 9-0-1 (Tie game with Stanford giving BOTH TEAMS a share of the claim)

1930: Rose Bowl 10-0-0

1934: Rose Bowl 10-0

1961: AP/UPI

1964: AP/UPI

1965: AP

1973: UPI

1978: AP

1979: AP

1992: AP

What’s your next contradiction, Bryant-Denny doesn’t actually hold 92,000 people according to some 8th grade, Opelika Middle School student’s factual studies?

WAR DAMN EAGLE, HEY! GREAT TO BE AN AUFARM TIGHAR!

I said...

WAIT until AFTER you’ve won another. Your knowledge of MNCs is sorely lacking, so we’re hoping that you might take that interval to educate yourself…

I don’t know if some Opelika middle school claimed that BDS doesn’t hold 92,000 people. I do know that the average knowledge base of both bodies is roughly the same…

by War Eagle Atlanta on Oct 2, 2008 10:14 AM CDT up reply actions  

So which is it?

11 or 12 you simple piece of……factual my ass. pull off your shoes and count to 12 and then count the NC’s you claim in your post. You are not worth the time.

Cowgirl

by War Eagle Atlanta on Oct 2, 2008 10:16 AM CDT up reply actions  

your giving him a lot of credit

WAR EAGLE

You're forgetting...

…how easy it is to get a degree over there…

See, isn’t this what Cowgirl wanted? To walk into a cross-fire? Suicide by Barner?

I just want him to notate where on earth he got the silly idea that winning Rose Bowls were de facto MNCs back inthe day, other than from another Bammer…

by War Eagle Atlanta on Oct 2, 2008 4:04 PM CDT up reply actions  

The reason I asked

is because I was curious if Claiming Past National Championships is a class at Alabama. If so is it offered by the history department, the marketing department, or the creative writing department?
