[BCS Champ] vBook: Auburn vs. Florida State

[peoriairish]

the 5 tweets before that were all congratulating FSU

I know. But just say congrats to Auburn for making it or something. I dunno. Just pissed me off.

Still pissed we lost that game there was no way we should have.

We should have won that game but FSU wins and says they are back.

Next year we go 12-0 lose to an NFL line and a loaded defense FSU beats Northern Illinois which means they are back.

Then our starting QB gets kicked out for a semester, Winston gets away with sexual assault. We have a crap load of injuries. Instead of getting a loaded team they get an Auburn team that made it on football luck and Malzahn out coaching everyone.

Just feel like they've gotten a lot more breaks.

Basically broke even on the night.

I agree that we are generally a more unlucky program, but the bolded is BS. He didn't "get away with it" just because he was accused.

 

[tussin]

Also, Winston played like a BOSS in the second half. Knock his first half performance all you want, but he was the real deal down the stretch.

You are right. I'm went on a childish rant because I need to vent.

I really don't like Florida State. I actually have no issue with Winston.

My apologies that IE have to have read all my posts on my dislike of their program

 

[Redbar]

I wasn't paying too close of attention but i think the guy used to be an assistant at FSU and helped recruit Jameis there.

It was Dameyune Craig. Former Auburn QB.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

You are right. I'm going a childish rant because I need to vent.

If saying "FUCK FSU," is a childish rant, then buckle up. I plan on saying FUCK FSU all night....

 

[chicago51]

Thanks to the state of Florida we have the Miami Heat, starting years of Dwight Howard drama queen crap (I'll be it it continued after he left), the Incognito Dolphins scandal, FSU, and 8 years of George W Bush as president.

And the thing is I know many great people in Florida too that are my friends or family so this ain't an attack on the Florida residents. But in this stated this poster's humble opinion it has brought nothing but trouble to the sporting world.

Not to mention if it wasn't for UF ND might hired Urban Meyer instead of CW and who knows were we'd be. We got Kelly now and things are looking good but if you gave me 6 years of Urban Meyer and a national title or two from 05 to 11 I'd of taken it.

Shout out to the kid with the halftime pick

I called it before the half... Just sayin... Lol

 

[ACamp1900]

Lmao dick!!!!

Holy heck.

Only you and I would notice.

I'm gonna watch the replay tomorrow just so I can try to make sense of it all... Lol

 

[ulukinatme]

So, AJ's mom had this to say, it's since been deleted:

Now theres a Tweet up saying she's not a racist, and anyone who knew her family would know that.


One of our recruits posted this regarding Winston's speech lol

Congrats to FSU. They made the necessary adjustments in the second half. And Auburn showed once again why the SEC is a great conference. They took the latest "team of the decade" down to the final 13 seconds. Great game.

 

[T Town Tommy]

Dafaq do they need to add extra on how great the SECs year was?!?!

They go 7-3 in bowl games in what was a "down" year by their standards and come within 13 seconds of winning eight in a row. Pretty good showing by all accounts - outside Bama of course.

A little hint ACamp....

Gonna be a longer year next year for ya. The SEC will be much, much better overall. Can't wait.

 

[T Town Tommy]

The kid seems like a pleasant enough kid (assuming he actually didn't rape anyone), but he is not a smart human being.

After graduating from that fine academic high school in Hueytown, Alabama, one would think Winston would be able to conduct an interview a little better. Should have went to the SEC. We got full time employees that write their post game speeches for them.

 

[IrishInFl]

You know what sucks about living near the FSU campus? Dumbass drunk kids honking their car horn at 12:30 at night. Work will be a struggle today.

 

[FLDomer]

Fuck Florida State. It makes me puke knowing people root for this team.

I agree, this team and program is basically everything we hate about the SEC. I have to live around these assholes and its ten times worse with the state of Florida's bandwagoners that double, the particular team that happens to winning in the state, fan base's size. Yeah, yeah, screw the SEC but FSU is a POS program. For all the SEC propaganda ESPN spits they are the same way yearly about FSU, who was supposed to be in the NT game since Fisher took the helm or EJ was supposed to win the Heisman long before "Famous Jameis". IMO fuck both the SEC and FSU, last night was no win IMO for college football. I just hope we can go in to Tally next yr with our student athletes and put it too that semi-pro team.

Not sure I agree with this. What teams stand to improve significantly other than LSU, Ole Miss, and perhaps Georgia?

In the west, I think Bama, LSU, Auburn, Ole Miss, and Miss St will be just as good or better.

In the east, Georgia and Carolina will be good. Tenn will be a much better team. Throw in a solid Texas A&M team in the west and a solid Vandy team in the east and I think the conference as a whole will be better.

Mizzou will not be near as good next season. And Stoops at UK is still a few years away from being competitive. Florida - who really knows. Gotta think they will bounce back a little bit.

I agree with most of what you are saying but the bolded is where I think you are reaching a little...or kinda a lot.

I like what Sumlin is trying to do on defense. He has started making that a priority in recruiting. If not, he will never be better than a third or fourth place team in the west. Losing JF will hurt, but he does have some capable QBs on the roster. It will be interesting to see if he can improve that dreadful defense.

Vandy has a solid corp of players and if Franklin sticks around they will win at least 7-8 games. By Vandy standards, that is pretty solid.

Disagree with all of the bold. Bama loses a lot, not sure how you can just assume they will be as good when we really have no idea who will be playing QB and how effective they will be. Every program is one Driskel away from being irrelevant. Auburn lucked out numerous times on their way to this game... they may end up having a better team but will likely lose 3+ games.

TAMU will be trash.

A lot of "ifs" for A&M, their D will have to make a 180 degree turn around.

Arkansas maybe? They're struggling since Petrino left town. Kentucky? Not likely I guess, but they can only go up from where they're at. Tennessee? I could see Jones revitalizing that giant to a respectable level in a year or two. The thing is, in conference play for every win a struggling team achieves, it's usually stealing a win from one of the better players which changes the perceptions of that team's strengths. You have to figure A&M will have some rebuilding struggles next season. 'Bama will be breaking in a new QB, but I'm sure with the talent there that won't be an issue. Who knows what Florida is going to do. I imagine Missouri won't have the same kind of success they had this year.

Generally I agree with you though, tussin. While some SEC teams could rise up next season, it will most likely result in perceptions of other teams weakening as they relinquish some wins to those improving teams. Realistically they may not be weaker, but if A&M were to lose 5-6 games next season as they break in a new QB, the perception will be that they're weaker even if the overall talent level has improved from this season to next season.

If Bama gets Coker from FSU, then they will be right back in the mix. Their defense will be very good and their offense is loaded. If they don't get Coker, then it does become a little harder. Auburn has a lot of players returning. Mason is the key for them I think. If he stays they will be better next season. Maybe not title worthy, but they will be very solid. If, and it's a big IF, A&M gets something going on defense, they will be pretty good. They will have a solid offense, good special teams, and good coaching. And can the defense be any worse than it was this season?

 

[T Town Tommy]

Arkansas is still a year or two away under BB. He is recruiting his type of players for his system and that will help. They actually played well at times this season but just didn't have enough depth or firepower to make the difference. I hope they improve and get back to something close to where they were.

 

[tussin]

Personally, I see the SEC having a year like the Pac-12 had this year. A bunch of good teams with the best one having a 10-2 regular-season record like Stanford. I think most of the top teams (with the possible exception of Auburn) will take a step back, and you'll see some guys in the middle of the pack (i.e. Tenn, Ole Miss) make strides forward.

I suppose whether this means the conference is "better" or "worse" is up for debate.

Yah because other teams in the country don't improve as good as the SEC does. Better pull up your zipper, the horse is out of the barn..
