With the number of firings at this point in the regular season, the message boards were a little calmer than normal, but we did see some meltdowns. I’m here to share the ones I think are genius worthy.
Let’s start out in Columbia West as Missouri is rapidly heading to meaningless bowl game status.
Missouri gets boat-raced by Texas A&M on Saturday afternoon. It’s hard to blame the loss on anything but really bad injury luck as Matt Zollars gets his first start and looks like a true freshman. Drinkwitz made a Kirby Smart Sugar Bowl type of error late in the 2nd quarter. Down 7-0, 3rd and 10 on the Mizz 42 with less than a minute to go in the half, Missouri can go to the half down 7 and getting the ball to start the 3rd. Zollars fumbles on a 14 yard sack, and A&M runs it back to the 2. The game was virtually over at that point.
Let’s move on to Nashville to check in on the coaching search in Greater Opelika.
I’m not guessing a certain coach in Athens and one in Tuscaloosa are shaking in their boots of Tulane’s coach finding his way to the Alabama Cow College. The reason I posted this is the Sun Belt Billy effect on SEC fan bases. No one at the “upper tier” of the league wants to be the next hiring a Group of 5 coach into the rough and tumble environment on the SEC.
On the game, Auburn loses again. This time their defense gives up 500 plus yards, and they blow a 4th quarter lead. Cam Coleman goes off in his potential audition for the transfer portal.
Let’s move on to check in on the latest on the Handbags.
North central jort-wearing Handbags making comments about others’ questionable sexual behavior with close relatives is priceless. Georgia beats Florida twice as the Gators throw in the towel on the season. DJ Lagway was finally benched after throwing 3 more interceptions. The Gators average less than 3 yards per play and give up 400 yards.
At this point, Gator fans are going to be singing, “There’s no place like home for the holidays” unless they win their last 3 games. Let’s move on to the Upstate to check in on the Tribe.
Florida State takes it on the chin at Clemson 24-10. The Florida-FSU game is likely to be as entertaining as Clemson-South Carolina at this point. I assume Florida State doesn’t want and/or can’t afford to join the coaching carousel.
How did this Florida State team beat Alabama?
How did the same Clemson team that gave up 46 to Duke absolutely stymie the FSU offense?
Let’s end this week’s trip in Starkville.
I don’t like putting Georgia here. The beginning of the game was bad on defense, and I’m glad it wasn’t a harbinger for the remainder of the game. The offense was clicking from the start even with the unfortunate turnover on the goal line on the 2nd possession. A segment of our fan base isn’t going to be happy unless we put a TCU or FSU whipping on every one of our opponents.
To Queefus, Kirby is never going to fire an assistant midseason without a darn good reason (likely off the field). Just stop.
