(Track this man, Charles Scott, down and stop him!)
(Auburn at LSU, Open Thread!)
War Eagle, everybody! Tonight, the Auburn Tigers take on LSU, in Baton Rouge, at 6:30 PM, CDT. The game will be televised on ESPN-2. It's another important SEC matchup for both teams. The loser of this game can pretty much kiss any division championship dreams goodbye, after this one.
Auburn's record in Baton Rouge has been anything but stellar. Auburn is 5-13-1, all time, in the Louisiana state capital. The last Auburn win in the series came in the infamous 1999 "Cigar Game," when Auburn defeated LSU 41-7. Since 2003, the Auburn/LSU game has been decided by less than seven points, each year. The 2004 game was decided on a re-kicked extra point, which gave Auburn a 10-9 victory. The 2005 game was decided in overtime, on a missed John Vaughn field goal attempt. Auburn stopped LSU at the 4 yard line in a 7-3 win, in 2006. Matt Flynn hit a TD bomb with several seconds to go in 2007, to lift LSU to a 30-24 win. In 2008, Jarrett Lee connected with Brandon LaFell on a catch and run, for a late score to put LSU ahead, 26-21. Will history continue?
As always, feel free to chime in, and cheer on the Auburn Tigers! War Eagle, and beat LSU!

War Eagle!
I have to say, I have some pregame jitters, and I am not even playing in the game. I actually dreamed of the game last night..I woke up because, I didn’t want to know how it ended. It’s an auspicious day that’s for sure.
Unbelievably, we are not getting the Alabama/Tenn game out here, so any score updates will be welcome.
Happy Game Day everybody!

War Eagle Everyone
I have a good feeling on the game tonight… I seeTate and the Auburn O having a big day- My prediction- Auburn in a nail biter 28-24
Ole Miss doesn't look...
perfect, but they are much improved since the start of the season. Next week will be a battle.

Yes it will
I was really hoping it would be a night game on on Pumpkin day. It would have made for a electric atmosphere

Yeah, there's something...
about those noon games that are just hard to get excited about. Watching Tennessee now, they are going to be really good when they find a quarterback.

Based on the stats, looks like the Volunteer D has been able to keep Bama’s Ingram under wraps. That is no easy task. Looks like a good game!

As good as
the UT D has looked- we played pretty damn well on O. We need to find that swagger tonight……..
Taking your helmet off during a play = automatic penalty
Unless you’re big enough to eat the ref who throws that flag on you?
John Smoltz for Cardinals' closer 2010!!
That's like 15 Auburn penalties in a row without an opponent's penalty
C’mon Gene!
The only way we win this game is a turnoverfest like we got against WVU

Holy hell
I have never seen delay of game on the defense. Is there a penalty in the book that we haven’t committed this year?

hey
can anyone explain what defensive delay of game is? there already have been several botched calls in my mind, but i’m not even sure what that last one means. can anyone clue me in?
i think its
If the defensive team doesnt get on their side of the ball and tries to run the clock down they will get flagged or prevents the ball from being snapped in some kind of way like laying on a player too long.
He's only had 1 run
Feed it to him!

I hate being a pessimist
But this game’s over unless we can throw the damn ball

All of the fears we had of Gene Chizik as a head coach are coming true

Yeah,
But i think Gus hasn’t showed everything he has. But I think it’s time for them to let it all out.
We need to
do some trick plays or something, like an end around. Just get some momentum before it is too late and there is no chance.
Todd
I think he isn’t 100%. I think his shoulder is starting to bother him more. You can tell in his throws and he doesn’t look very confident.
Comical
would be a word I would use for this collapse. Are they trying to outdo last year?
wow
seriously? …i don’t have words. we have got to regain confidence otherwise lsu’s momentum is going to kill us.
No depth, no Discipline
I call for Ted Roof’s job. Depth might be an issue but you can’t play too conservatively because you don’t want anyone to get hurt. Let them play hard and if they get hurt, then so be it. At least you played 100% wide open. Someone buy firetedroof.com hahaha
Love Jesus and then Football.
We may talk bad about Auburn
but our guys are young, our defense is thin. I still think this year has been a good sign of things to come. I think we could have a better D Coordinator, but we have no depth at all and they are young. So i’m being positive from now on.
War Eagle!
I hate gene
I know we don’t have great talent; which is all the more reason you play with disipline! nothing you can do about the talent, but penaltes are coaching. this coach sucks!
Fundamentals are poor
I hate to say this, but Auburn has not looked particularly well-coached these last two (and probably three) games. The players look clueless at times, and frankly don’t seem to have a lot of enthusiasm out there. It doesn’t matter how fired up you are before the game – during the game the players look lost.
The first five game it looked like the coaches had a game plan. Lately – not so much.
WAR DAMN EAGLE GO TIGERS!!

I think this is terrible football
however, Gene deserves a chance.. Let him get his recruits in and see what he can do…
Eltoro is a beast
We might be getting taken care of pretty good, but the boy is a small ray of light during this game
Love Jesus and then Football.
The frustrating part?
This LSU team looks quite vulnerable. Dropped passes, odd play calls, lackluster running.
C’mon (Auburn) TIgers!

I graduated in achitecture from auburn
did you even go to auburn xotus?
not coleman
what will we ever do without his one tacle in a month
Todd you better throw that ball
or Malzahn better call faster developing plays
Love Jesus and then Football.
As fun as this team was to watch the first three weeks
That’s how un-fun it’s been to watch them the last three

Feels like last year all over again
Tubs really got them where he wanted them. He took his money and didn’t even have to do half the work
Love Jesus and then Football.
Tubs didn't leave us with a million stupid penalties a game

good point.
however, he did leave us thin on defense, and this is what happens when you have no bye week with a thin D.
I do as well
Im not a fair weather fan.. When things go bad I want to see how the team responds.

Someone needs to tell Roof....
that sporting those new glasses doesn’t make him look any smarter.
Love Jesus and then Football.
All things considered
17-0 isn’t impossible to come back from. We’ve got to get moving on offense though! The defense is actually playing pretty decently, especially against the run.

I was in grad school at FSU

why are you here
You went to Bama is my guess

Look, if you are going to come in running your mouth about firing Chiz,
you are going to get clothes-lined. Just sayin’

I think most people on the thread
can tell who the real idiot is…
by AU04Natlchamps on Oct 24, 2009 8:29 PM CDT up reply actions
Again, LSU looks vulnerable
I still think we have a (slim) chance to come back, if Auburn starts executing. LSU’s offense does not impress me at all. And I think that the LSU defense is susceptible to the run, if we can get a few short passes completed.
by Carrollton Tiger on Oct 24, 2009 8:13 PM CDT reply actions
In the early 90's with Bowden we got 6 interceptions in an LSU game & came back
We are going to have to really adjust and pore it on for that to happen again
I hate to dump on Todd, but . . . .
He looks like he’s had plenty of time. Frankly, his best plays are when he runs. If he could just throw a couple of short out-patterns for a couple of yards, I think it would do wonders for morale.
by Carrollton Tiger on Oct 24, 2009 8:20 PM CDT reply actions
Just checking in at the half....I see the offense on the field, but what the heck are they doing (or not doing)???
The defense gave up the first touchdown with a great display of lack of disipline. But it would be way more ugly out there if they were not stepping up to make some plays. The offense is what is scary. With the camara angles it is hard to tell if Todd is holding onto the ball too long (probably) or if there is just nobody open. We even had a short field and couldn’t come up with crucial points. What the hell guys?!
We have got to come out swinging in the second half or it will get really ugly! It is amazing how this offense has collapsed. Score early, score quickly. Hopefully Chiz will reign them in over the half. War Eagle! Go Tigers!!
Where is Acid tonight?
by Tiger on the mountain on Oct 24, 2009 8:23 PM CDT reply actions
Our cornerbacks never seem to know where the ball is.
That might have done it. Ouch.
I think I’ll watch the rest of the game while questing in The Hinterlands.
by Carrollton Tiger on Oct 24, 2009 8:37 PM CDT reply actions
By the way
I hate Mark Jones as a play-by-play guy. He’s just awful.

Milner
I see you joined the blog today October 24th.. Im sure my theory you went to Bama is accurate. You are a total fag
way to go chiz
that 3 points is going to put us back in the game
Field goal is not bad
Good to get some points off a drive. While disappointing compared to 7 (how profound), better than coming up with a goose egg.
Shut ’em down, D!!

This LSU offense is terrible
But can we shut them down?
by Carrollton Tiger on Oct 24, 2009 8:51 PM CDT reply actions
Nice catch
On one of the better defensive plays. Figures.
by Carrollton Tiger on Oct 24, 2009 8:51 PM CDT reply actions
I agree
Chiz was talking about imposters all year long…..the real imposter was the cupcake schedule at the beginning of the year
Love Jesus and then Football.
We are slipping
into SEC obscurity. Recruiting takes a huge hit from seasons like last year and this year. I’m bummed big time.
War Eagle
Why not go for it ?
What has happend since the Tenn game we went to there house and beat them soundly the damn near beatt Bama- something has gone wrong in a HUGE way since that game. Anyone have any insight ?
There's always next year
Hope they start getting some of those 5 stars….seemed to work for bama
Love Jesus and then Football.
I do not agree with that
We were decent 2004-2007 and undefeated in 2004- The only SEC team to do that in the BCS era
by AU04Natlchamps on Oct 24, 2009 9:13 PM CDT up reply actions
After our start to this season
I didn’t think it was possiible to go down from last year, but I’ve seen it all now. Man, I hate this. I hate it for the coaches and the players especially. They are working so hard to fix all of this and just don’tseem to have the talent/depth to turn it around. I hope our recruiting doesn’t take too much of a hit from this.
War Eagle
Eltoro is still a beast
Anyone named “The Bull” better be…..dude they better not waste his Senior year
Love Jesus and then Football.
Neil Caudle needs to start playing more
get someone who’ll actually be around next year some experience.
War Eagle
big ben
the only class act on that team. what a shame; come all the way from maryland to be part of this.
I hope to see more of Caudle in the weeks to come.
Miserable evening. Hope that next week is better.
It is still great to be an Auburn Tiger! Good night everybody.

Sorry for the absence,
and especially sorry for the miserable Auburn performance, tonight. I had hoped to be back home from an obligation by the first quarter, instead here it is nearly 10:30. I listened to most of the game, and saw maybe 20 plays. We looked like we were running in quicksand, against their skill players, on both sides. On the lines of scrimmage, we held our own. Away from the box, we were woefully outclassed. I was worried about a lopsided score in this one.
…..It is great to be an Auburn Tiger! I think we’ll have a chance, against Ole Miss and Georgia. Can’t make mistakes like tonight, though.
Grades will be up...
…..after I torture myself with the replay, tomorrow evening. All and all, it’s been a miserable end to a miserable week. Things will have to get better Monday, right?
Doubt it
Not only did I stay up and watch that crap from Auburn, now it is 3am and I am up with my son. I knew I should have slept when he did, after it was 14-0.
Wait until you see just how bad Todd was. It might be a all time low. I am not blaming the game on him at all, but I fear that Chris is done. Or at least should be.
If you are a War Damn Eagle, you can War Damn anything.
