I'm glad to win and I'm glad this season is over.; 2:10 PM
Dear Leader said...: notice no flag for ill procedure; 2:10 PM

cincytiger said...: I am just dead! My peas and greens are having a fight in my tummy.; 2:13 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Wow, we won a lot of games today.

We won the game 3 times.

We beat Northwestern and the refs.

We also beat Northwestern and ourselves.; 2:14 PM
API said...: I'm worn out also and didn't play a snap; 2:15 PM
Kathy said...: I am exhausted. That did look like a tough injury on their kicker, and we were penalized. The traveling Hotties sure got their money's worth.; 2:15 PM
Kathy said...: Now onto other games. Glad we weren't playing on Orlando.; 2:16 PM
Unknown said...: Northwestern played a very good game. I wouldn't blame it on the refs. We made some very stupid plays offensively that kept them in the game.; 2:16 PM
Jet said...: OK, my BP is 400 over 399; 2:16 PM
Dear Leader said...: funny that D wins the game....

I am still pissed about the refs..; 2:16 PM
FSJ said...: Ok folks...that was fun..

Now lets watch LSU get whipped.; 2:17 PM
Unknown said...: I hope Jay G. got to see some of that finish. That was just incredible.; 2:18 PM
Cotton said...: Well, that was tiring.; 2:18 PM
Dear Leader said...: SteveFC..

I never blame the refs... I just want them called both ways and when they are not it really pisses me off...

It leaves the impression of impropriety; 2:18 PM
Dear Leader said...: GEAUX TIGERS.... I want LSU to win..... SEC BABY...

I still have not gotten over the Whuppin PennState put on AU in the 90's; 2:19 PM
Unknown said...: The refs didn't bother me. The defense didn't bother me. The offense sure as heck did. We basically kept dumping the ballgame in the defenses lap. They should cut the game ball in to about 4 pieces and hand them to McFadden, Bell, Coleman, and Bates.; 2:20 PM
Unknown said...: DL, we put a whippin on Penn State a while back. I think it was about 2003. Wasn't it Ronnie Brown that beat the crap out of them and their outstanding runningback, what's his name?; 2:21 PM
Jet said...: Neiko and Hot save our 244 on that play. Everyone else was confused.

Northwestern is a fun team to watch. If I'm a midwestern AD at a big-time school, I'd hire Pat Fitzgerald in a heartbeat.; 2:24 PM
cincytiger said...: We beat Penn St on New Year's in 2003 in the Capital One Bowl; 2:24 PM
auforme said...: I'm exhausted- and still shaking.; 2:25 PM
Unknown said...: Adams, 12 catches. Everyone else, 9 catches. That is pretty screwed up.; 2:25 PM
astatguy said...: We played Penn State several years ago and they were disappointed at having to play us (too good to play us). Their running back was Larry Johnson. He was recently released from the KC Chiefs for gay bashing. He bashed Papa Joe for not giving him the ball enough against Auburn. We won decisively.; 2:25 PM
Anonymous said...: RK ...your right. We won that game 3 times. One of the ugliest games I can remember.

I'm not normally one to question the refs, but it sure seemed that they saw everything AU did and just didn't seem to look at NW.

The folks watching the game with us were so drained, they left 5 min. after it was over.; 2:27 PM
Unknown said...: Larry Johnson is the name and Ronnie Brown was the star of that game. He basically carried our offense.; 2:27 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I think the 2003 Cap One Bowl final was 13-9, we turned it on Penn State in the 2nd half running Ronnie every play, but we didn't kill them.; 2:27 PM
WarEagleRK said...: 116 plays over 600 yards and 33 1st downs for Northwestern; 2:27 PM
FSJ said...: I thought Auburn won 13-9 or something like that. Ronnie scored at the end to win.; 2:28 PM
Jet said...: We don't have enough bodies ... or enough talent ... in a lot of places to do what we do offensively.

That's why the recruiting is so huge.

Defensively, when we rushed more than four, we forced mistakes. When we rushed four, we made Kafka look like Peyton Manning.; 2:28 PM
Unknown said...: By the way, that Penn State game is the game I fell in love with Ronnie Brown.; 2:28 PM
cincytiger said...: Thanks, WERK, was just going back to post the score.; 2:28 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Hoopie, even the last play of the game was an illegal formation by NW that wasn't called.; 2:28 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Hard to believe we give up 600 yards, 115 plays and blow three different 15 point leads and really walked off the field 3 times thinking we won the game only to have to get back on the field and still somehow win the game.; 2:29 PM
Kathy said...: That was one time I'm glad they didn't call the penalty WERK!; 2:30 PM
Kathy said...: How many passes did NW throw?; 2:30 PM
Unknown said...: Jet, I like our talent and am okay with the number of players on offense.

On defense, we have decent talent, but ridiculously low numbers.

It is strange to say when our defense gave up 600 yards, but they won that game. Our offense made every mistake they could to loose it.; 2:31 PM
FSJ said...: Kathy..

More than I've ever seen.; 2:31 PM
Anonymous said...: Rk .yeah we called that IP while watching. I guess that one backired on the refs.; 2:31 PM
cincytiger said...: Me, too! Kathy, are you just dead? I need someone to rub my feet, they are so sore from stomping up and down on my wood floors!; 2:31 PM
Jet said...: We won it four times.

1. Before Ben's fumble

2. Before Demond's fumble

3. Prior to Fairley's face mask

4. Before the roughing call, which was a weak call in my mind ... he was sliding on the ground 2 yards in front of the kicking spot. The guy took an extra bunny hop to end up there.; 2:31 PM
WarEagleRK said...: kafka 47/78 533 yards 4 TD, 5 Int; 2:33 PM
cincytiger said...: I know Ben had a good game, but I am a little upset with him. NW scored because of his showboating and then scored off of his fumble. Players have got to think beyond themselves and realize their dunking the ball and such hurts the team.; 2:33 PM
Unknown said...: If there is one rule I would have changed, it is the idiotic face mask penalty. They should bring the 5 yard variety back. If not, if you grab a guys facemask, you should just go ahead and rip his head from his body. You are going to get the same 15 yards regardless.; 2:34 PM
Anonymous said...: Gotta go, and this may be redundant with earlier comments, but If our offense could have executed the plays that CGM called early in the game we could have easily been up by 28 points. We put our D back on the field too many times and too quickly. We ran out of offensive plays and the defense got understandably tired.

TD ...LSU may come back.; 2:37 PM
Jet said...: Steve, I concur.; 2:37 PM
Kathy said...: The defense won this game today. Who would have thought?! Great start to 2010. Now on to signing day!; 2:38 PM
Unknown said...: Well, I considered becoming an FSU fan next season with Jimbo as the head coach, but I just can't. If I had to listen to that idiotic Tomahawk chop chant all day, I would have to put a large steal bucket over my head and repeatedly pound on it with a framing hammer to make my head feel better.; 2:39 PM
Unknown said...: Facemask penalties are unique. I have seen some that I thought shouldn't have been called. I have seen others where I thought the play should be kicked out of the game for doing it. There has to be more options for the officials there.; 2:41 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Hoopie,

I think Gus called the right plays a lot of the time, but we don't have the players to execute the plays right now.

I know you don't like calling out individual players, but it's always a risk running a key play with Kodi pulling the trigger.

Great plays by their D, but he does set the D up to make great plays at times too.; 2:43 PM
API said...: flip; 2:43 PM
WarEagleRK said...: The facemask call needs to go back to being a 5 yarder and a 15 yarder.; 2:43 PM
Kathy said...: Nothing like college football.; 2:45 PM
