Week Four Misery Index

[Bulldogg31]

As long as sad fans are being sad, which of these fan bases is drinking most heavily this week?

1. Auburn. First time Gus has been held out of the end zone, and it was to lowly Mississippi State. Shug Jordan is rolling in his grave no doubt. Sitting amongst many of these fans Saturday night, I assure you there is much woe in the village.

2. Mississippi State fans for having to watch Ashton Shumpert run the ball 5 times for 5 yards, then seeing our non-long-range kicker knock one down the middle that would have been good from 52...or a little more. ***

3. Ole Miss fans for watching their high flying offense get stifled by an academic school, while their Heisman candidate transfer threw two ugly picks against the worst team in the league.

4. Tennessee fans for watching their team choke away another 17 point lead late in the game. Tennessee has now lost 11 in a row to Florida, and their head coach is learning all his lessons the hard way.

5. Arkansas for allowing another late comeback to Texas A&M, thereby fulfilling thine prophesy as set forth by Kliff Kingsbury. The Hog train may not be off the rails, but it's got three wheels in the air.

6. Oregon for watching Utah (UTAH!) come to Eugene and put up 500 yards and 62 points, while their own three QB's failed to pass for 180 yards. Somewhere the ghost of Marcus Mariota weeps.

7. Texas fans for watching their team be penalized 16 times for 128 yards, before seeing their kicking game fail them for the second straight week. ICYMI, their punter dropped a snap with 36 seconds remaining, allowing OKST to kick the game winner with 6 seconds left. Ugh.

Feel free to add any I missed...misery loves company.

1) Big Tennessee NO WHAMMIES and STOP!
2) Alex, I'll take Tennessee for $1000.
3) Pat, I'd like to buy a Tennessee.
4) Tennessee you are the weakest link, goodbye.
5) Derek Dooley says hi!

Is that your final answer?

Which of these fan bases is drinking most heavily this week?

1A. Auburn
1B. Tennessee fans for watching their team choke away another 17 point lead late in the game. Tennessee has now lost 11 in a row to Florida, and their head coach is learning all his lessons the hard way.

UT fan Clay Travis does some great venting and coined a new term .. "Butch'ed" .. Definition .. When his decisions mattered most and his team needed him more than ever, he wasn't up to the task -- he Butch'ed it.

This year in college football there have been 191 games where one team has had a 13 point or more lead in the fourth quarter. The leading team has won 188 of these games, the losing team has won three times. Two of those times have happened to Tennessee, with Oklahoma coming back from a 17-3 fourth quarter deficit and Florida coming back from a 13 point fourth quarter deficit.

Butch is a great recruiter .. bad at making decisions. Good read here .. http://www.foxsports.com/college-fo...butch-jones-needs-a-common-sense-coach-092715

My thoughts:

1 - Auburn's misery peaked last week when they saw what they were. Now their misery is just becoming acceptance.
2 - If - If - If....Graves would not have made that kick against LSU, and I don't understand why people are suggesting otherwise. Our clock management lost that game.
3 - Ole Miss is undefeated - their fans are fine
4 - They are disappointed, but through all their early season swagger, this is what they all secretly felt they would be, so it's no real suprise to them
5 - Much like Auburn, the Hogs have moved from Misery to Acceptance. They may even be celebrating a moral victory by "almost" beating A&M.
6 - Oregon fans know they've been lucky for a while, and you have to have a crappy result occasionally. They aren't playing video games.
7 - This is the answer for most miserable. Just when you thought they couldn't find a more kicked-in-the-nuts way to lose, Strong's bunch comes through again.

I've never been sold on Butch Jones as a coach. But damn. That's a terrible job of making in-game decisions.

At least none of those teams set their field on fire before the game.

(U)Teasips had the hardest loss...their punter totally choked. Charlie Strong's seat just got hotter.

I'll take a stab at this

Only because I love to talk about the failures of other football teams. Especially SEC ones

7. Ole Miss fans are not sad by any means. That game against Vandy was just a minor setback. The rebels are still waiting for the second half of the season to lose their usual 3-4 games and finish one spot below us in the west. This years egg bowl is going to be fun. However, there are inevitably a few Ole Miss fans sporting their bow-tie and short sleeves with shorts to work on Monday, and they might be sipping on a dirty martini.

6. We have nothing to be sad about really. 3-1 is what I thought we would be after the first 4 games anyway. I'll be sipping on some scotch one day this week. Not sure of the day yet.

5. Oregon comes in 5th on my list. They have had a lot of success over the years and they are due for a poor season every once in a while. They might be drinking some Cold Coors Light to soak up the *** pounding they just received, but they are most likely smoking their sorrows away.

4. Arkansas fans are most likely sitting in the parking lot somewhere in the hills at the local Piggly Wiggly drinking their sorrows away. It will be a 3-4 day benge for them. They come in 4th.

3. Tennessee finds a way to lose big games. I'm starting to think that Butch can't coach and the Vol's might be lucky to get to 6 wins. Like their Hillbilly brethren, the hills are full of welfare ridden Tennessee fans spending their last $15 of this month's check on a 5th of Jack Daniels. Somewhere, fat Phil is laughing his *** off.

2. Auburn comes in second. Is it possible for their fans to drink more than they have the past 2 weeks?

1. Texas fans littered Austin with fireball shots. Have not stopped drinking. Their fan base has to be the saddest in the country and no new turtleneck can fix that.

Well done Ghost...good stuff.

Here's the dropped snap on the punt. I can't even imagine what this board would look like if our punter did this.

And if it happened to be Devon Bell?!?

Let TSUN enjoy it. We did when it was our turn. Some of them were even happy for us.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Got to look at preseason expectations to get the full misery feel. Tennessee and Arkansas were picked as dark horses to challenge for the SEC title but we're not really favored to win the East or West.

That is why I gotta go with AUBURN.
They were picked to win the SEC West, maybe get into the Playoff 4, Will Muschamp was supposed to have their Defense as one of the best in the country, and Jeremy Johnson was supposed to challenge for the Heisman.

Auburn = EPIC FAIL!
