The weekend that was at MBG – week 10 edition

Posted on by
Hahahahahaha!

I admit I was going to go full Lewis Grizzard and do this in this space if the outcome yesterday had been different.

Thankfully, it wasn’t, and I have an opportunity to take us on a tour of the message board universe. We saw at least one team eliminated from CFP contention, a lot of pain inflicted on our main rivals and a program with a delusion.

Let’s start today’s trip in Baton Rouge to check in on the Corn Dogs’ coaching search.

If Nick Saban wanted to coach in the NIL and transfer portal era, he would have stayed in Tuscaloosa until he collapsed in his office. He looks very happy to be doing media, enjoying his ability to play golf, and living the high life after a successful coaching career.

Cajuns, Nick Saban isn’t coming back to save you from your governor’s decision to choose the next LSU football coach. He’s 74 (yes, a young 74). No way does he have the ability to look a recruit (and family) in the eye and say he’ll be a coach for 4 or 5 years at this point.

For all of those fan bases who believe Saban is coming back to save them, just stop.

Let’s move on to check in on Coach Amazon Prime in Boulder.

Colorado gets absolutely smashed in Boulder by Arizona. 5 turnovers and fewer than 300 yards of offense (3 turnovers of which led to extremely short fields for touchdowns) will get you run out of the stadium. The Wildcats led 38-7 at the half and played like Ralphie running over the Buffs.

I don’t know if Deion can be a successful head coach long-term. His formula isn’t working and probably isn’t going to work to make Colorado competitive. I wonder how happy Juju Lewis is in Boulder right now.

Let’s head to Dallas to see how the week 3 national champions are faring.

The Hurricanes are down bad after their 2nd loss to an unranked ACC opponent. Carson Beck throws 2 interceptions including a backbreaking pick on the goal line in overtime. Miami’s defense gives up 365 yards passing as Kevin Jennings takes care of the ball and engineers a 2:00 drive for the tying field goal aided by unnecessary roughness penalty.

Miami probably has to win out including the ACC championship game to be in the field of 12 at this point. Does Cristobal get blown out if that doesn’t happen? Coach Oeaux in Coral Gables would be a clash of cultures.

Let’s head to Greater Opelika to say “Thanks for the memories” to Hugh Freeze.

To those who believe #FireEverybody is the answer to your football program’s problems, Auburn should be the cautionary tale. Lather, rinse, repeat, War Tiglesmen. Your job is 3rd best of the conference’s open positions by a large margin. You have to convince someone that they can be successful being squeezed between 2 of the current giants of the sport while your past advantage (cough, cough … Auburn boosters … cough, cough) doesn’t matter any more. How quickly does Cam Coleman go into the portal with plans to play in Tuscaloosa?

I wondered if this was fake news. If not, this is pretty incredible. If Hugh was playing golf every Sunday in season, that’s a bad look, and I believe these guys should have a life.

Let’s move on to the Upstate of South Carolina for another update on the Greater Anderson Cow College.

Fun fact: Yesterday’s loss to Duke was the first time in 129 years of football that Clemson has lost when scoring more than 45 points. (134-1 now) Ouch. For the IPTAY crowd that loved Dabo for doing things the right way and looked down on the rest of college football, it sucks to be you now. Georgia broke Clemson in Charlotte on the night of September 4, 2021, and smashed them in Atlanta on August 31, 2024.

Can Clemson afford to fire Swinney or encourage him to find a new employer? Do they want to jump into a football coach hiring frenzy that already has LSU, Florida, Penn State and Auburn looking?

Sorry, Clive, but I’m guessing Dabo will be on the sidelines when Clemson goes to the Bayou in 2026.

Let’s move over to East Tennessee to check in on the fan base and team playing Halloween dress-up in a CFP elimination game.

Bobby Hill and the Vols likely save Brent Venables job with a loss on Rocky Top. Tennessee’s lines of scrimmage get dominated giving up 192 yards while gaining only 63 on the ground. Joey Aguilar’s 2 picks were both bad. One took points off the board for Tennessee, and the other enabled Oklahoma to steal 3 points right before the half.

Those 2 picks eventually led to the winning margin.

We’re going to take a short stop in Jacksonville to check on the geniuses of the UGA message boards.

This team keeps finding ways to melt down the fan base. This time it was a couple of explosive plays allowed by the defense while the offense sputtered for portions of the first 3 quarters. The first TD was the result of a poor punt leading to a short field and then a blown coverage. The field goal was the result of a turnover and then another blown coverage on a short field. The 3rd quarter was generally garbage.

I would love for this team to come out and blow people out. This team isn’t that right now, guys.

Sad, pathetic and soft aren’t words I would use to describe a team that has fought in every game for 4 quarters.

Let’s wrap up today’s trip on Tobacco Road to check in on America’s darlings, the Nerds of the North Avenue Trade School.

StinkTalk is probably saying how great they are because a 4-4 team rushed the field after beating them. Alas, since their board is blocked, we won’t know. I’m here for you to find other sources of amusement.

Nerd reaction to getting a swirlie on Saturday night in Raleigh

While no one cares enough about the other nerd boards to send any #MeltdownAlert posts to MBG, this post encapsulates their team. With Clemson’s implosion, they haven’t beaten anybody with a pulse and almost lost to Wake Forest who allowed FSU to break their ACC losing streak yesterday in Tallahassee by the score of 42-7.

NC State lost to Duke by 12, Virginia Tech by 2, Notre Dame by 29 and Pitt by 19. NC State’s offense then pistol-whipped the Jacketasses’ defense to the tune of 583 yards of total offense including 243 on the ground.

I’m sure Kirby is licking his chops over what much better athletes are going to do on a fast track in MBS against their defense.

That’s what I saw this weekend. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

The weekend that was at MBG – week 9 edition

We got to sit on our couches as a couple of seasons totally go up in flames and watch Alabama with the Gus Bus’s rabbit foot. We’ll have an abbreviate tour of the message board universe , but there’s some quality over quantity.

This ain’t good.

Let’s start this week in Fayette Nam where Hugh Freeze saved his hide for another week.

When your fans call wins a loss, you have lost the fan base. Auburn gets to 4-4 with bowl eligibility as the best the Tigers can achieve in a season where they pushed their chips to the middle of the table. His buyout is $15,000,000 plus assistant coach buyouts. Next year’s schedule has the Tigers at Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Ole Miss and hosting LSU, Florida and Vanderbilt.

With a comparative pittance of a buyout, do the Auburn Board of Trustees wait until season’s end to make the move or do it now? Who in the world wants that job given that you are at best 1-1 every year before the season starts with the Iron Bowl and the DSOR?

I can see Auburn standing pat and rationalizing it with the officiating excuse as well.

Let’s stop in and check on the season that has crashed around the South Carolina football program.

If you told South Carolina fans during the week that they would be in the game with Alabama in the 4th quarter, they would have declared a moral victory. Instead, they are turning on Shane Beamer for exactly that.

I’m going off the normal script for this feature for a moment. I thought Sellers forward progress was clearly stopped when the ball was ripped out. He was being turned the other way when the ball was dislodged. I’m sure the SEC officials would have called it exactly the same if the QB had been Ty Simpson.

The way they lost that game was classic South Carolina losing and Alabama as “hard to kill.” At this point, I’m getting to be ok with the idea of Alabama and Texas A&M fighting it out in Atlanta even if we’re 11-1. Yes, as this Georgia team grows up, I like our chances against either team in a postseason matchup.

Let’s move on to Norman as Oklahoma’s playoff chances go up in smoke (and Josh Pate is sad).

That’s some professional level message board genius right there. Oklahoma blows a 4th quarter lead to Ole Miss (Go Rebels! – only to keep Lane Kiffin engaged as long as possible from considering Florida).

Brent Venables seems to be a great defensive coordinator who just doesn’t seem to have “it” as a head coach. Oklahoma fans want a Big 12 offense combined with an SEC defense … sort of hard to do. If you’re curious, the buyout is $36,000,000.

Let’s finish our short trip in Corn Dog Country where Brian Kelly appears to be out at LSU.

As I mentioned on other threads, the Cajuns never embraced Kelly. Sure, he took the Tigers to an SEC title game in 2022 and positioned Jayden Daniels to win a Heisman in 2023.

LSU has looked terrible on offense whether that’s due an injured quarterback or lousy offensive line play.

Scott Stricklin is probably panicking at this point in the Lane Kiffin sweepstakes now that the LSU job is open.

Feel free to comment.

Well, looks like Barners got their wish, although the outcome isn’t going to change.

The decision to remove the longtime referee comes in the immediate wake of an SEC review of eleven complaints against Williamson and his crew during the Auburn-Georgia game earlier this month. According to sources, nine of those complaints were validated by conference officials. 

Yellowhammer News’ requests for comment from the Southeastern Conference went unreturned on Wednesday. 

Auburn’s matchup with Georgia included unusually high-profile penalty calls. 

Two sequences drew national attention: a late-second-quarter goal-line review that left both fan bases bereft, and a third-quarter sideline exchange in which Georgia coach Kirby Smart appeared to take a timeout before the play was ultimately reset without one being charged. 

Where’s this accountability anytime Alabama plays?

The weekend that was at MBG – week 8

You knew it wasn’t going to last because of this guy

It was hard to choose the stops on this weekend’s trip around the message boards. With the chaos of the weekend, I could have made Diamond Medallion in a weekend. All of this without a stop in Palo Alto to see the smoking crater that is the Florida State football program.

Let’s start on Friday night in the Sunshine State as the Hurricanes get exposed by Louisville.

In the words of Marc Antony through the Bard, I come to bury Mario Cristobal and Carson Beck, not to praise them. 63 yards rushing for a team whose coach is an offensive line coach by trade. 4 interceptions including a back breaker on the last possession in plus territory when all you need is a field goal to tie the game.

Miami is going to make the playoff because no one else on the schedule is that good and they have the win over Notre Dame. 9 penalties and 4 turnovers equals an undisciplined team that is going to have issues in the playoff.

Let’s head back to the Plains to check on the Auburn Family as they move closer to the ledge after another loss.

At this point, Auburn’s defensive players have to be throwing up their hands in frustration. They have played well enough throughout the season for the Tigers to be undefeated and positioned for a playoff berth. That offense is wretched. They won their turnover margin. They rushed for more yardage. Jackson Arnold wasn’t good but also wasn’t terrible.

That means one thing … Hugh Freeze sucks. This is what you can get when you decide to fire a coach with some success because you believe you can do better. I’m here to enjoy every moment of it.

Let’s head up to South Bend to check on the Boy Wonder and the temperature of Arrogant Nation.

The stat line from Saturday looks like a Lincoln Riley team – 306 yards rushing given up and they only rushed for 68. They got physically whipped by the Irish. Riley has the same advantages at USC that Cristobal has at Miami – an NIL war chest and a fertile recruiting base with no geographic equal. Yet, he can’t seem to get out of his own way in big moments. He could cover that up at Big 12 OU where his teams would just make you play basketball on grass.

Let’s head to Tuscaloosa to look in on Tooth Nation after the 3rd Saturday in October.

Butch Huepel? That’s genius worthy right there.

Alabama slaps down Tennessee in T-town again. I’ll admit I listened to part of the game on my way home from Athens last night. The Alabama radio announcers are the worst. Eli Gold loved Alabama, but he was a treasure. Their PbP guy is just a Bammer douche on the radio. I had to turn it off before my ears started bleeding.

On to the game, Bama used a flurry in the 2nd quarter to put Tennessee away capped by a 99(!)-yard pick 6 on the last play of the half after the Vols drove the length of the field. That reminded me of Sean Jones running down the sideline in 2003 in Kneeland.

I was happy because one team had to lose.

Let’s head to Music City where Corn Dog Nation has to be beside themselves today.

I didn’t know Cajuns knew any words to replace the f-word especially given the language in one of their cheers.

You would think the motivation message to the LSU Fightin’ Tigers would have written itself, “Vegas has you as a betting underdog to Vanderbilt! What are you going to do about it?” Get Pavia-ed looks like what the response was. Josh Pate haz a sad over Blake Baker’s defense being bludgeoned to the tune of 239 yards yielded on the ground.

I’ve said the Corn Dogs would turn on the Leprechaun as soon as things went south because he isn’t one of them. It’s happening. I’m guessing with A&M and Bama coming up next that Kelly is reading the fine print of his contract this morning.

Let’s head to the Palmetto State to check in on the state of South Carolina college football.

Clemson and South Carolina both lose by double digits, and both Dabo and Baby Beamer find themselves in the crosshairs of their fan bases. I’m not even going to go into the details of the games.

At this point, the Clemson-South Carolina game would be on Raycom or Jefferson Pilot in the old days of TV. If tickets were still paper, a Cock or Tiger fan may put them on the windshield of their car at the local Ingles and find more tickets on the windshield when they come back.

Let’s head up to the bluegrass to check in on how “Texas is back.”

If you looked at a team’s stat line and saw the following numbers, what would you think happened with 179-395 total offense, 132-258 passing, 47 yards rushing and 20:00 of ToP?

A loss by 2 TDs? Well, you would be wrong. That team wins in overtime.

The Archduke has a 25 game QBR with a below 50% completion rate. Kentucky sacks him 3 times.

This Texas team is not good at all. They go to Starkvegas next and then entertain Vandy prior to their off week prior to their visit to Athens. Is it possible Texas could have 4 losses when they visit between the hedges?

For the preseason #1 with the Heisman winner and #1 overall draft pick in the 2026 draft, that has to hurt.

Let’s move on to Hogtown to check in on the mental state of the Handbags.

Sun Belt Billy is out at Florida. When your fan base bemoans a win especially a conference win, you know you’re in trouble. My only question is whether the team quits on the staff heading into the Cocktail Party. As others have said, I wonder if Kirby would bring him up for an analyst role similar to the Jaden Rashada season just to get under the Gators’ hides.

My only message to Kirby is to annihilate them.

Let’s end this weekend back in the Classic City to check on both sides of the game of the weekend.

We have a segment of our fan base who needs to learn about resiliency. That statement isn’t about creating a bogey man or pumping sunshine.

To the Ole Miss fans, the game flipped when the Rebel defense finally completely broke and Trinidad Chambliss realized he wasn’t playing in Oxford or Ferris State any longer. it had nothing to do with ABC’s decisions for TV timeouts.

I have to say two things about the game. First, I would rather see us take chances in man coverage rather than give ridiculous amounts of cushion. Second, I don’t understand Kirby’s decision to go for 2 in the 3rd quarter.

What did you see this weekend? Let us know in the comments.

Meanwhile, Back at Auburn

40 yards of 2nd half total offense had nothing to do with it.

These people walk among us.

To MTVTiger72, you definitely are weird.

The irony of the handle of this commenter is not lost on me.

Coming from the program that suspended $Cam Newton for a practice, this is rich.

Please let the Dawgs beat you guys twice on Saturday night, Barners. You fixate on this while Missouri comes in and whips your butts.

Auburn sucks.
