Last *** whooping that was that bad was...

[Hail State]

Florida, circa 2001. 52-0.

Has there been one worse since?

I think Croom's first LSU game was bad

 

[myusernamesucks]

We're just poor ole Mississippi state. That's the best we can do. Just take that *** kicking and smile. How dare you think we should hold anyone accountable.

My observations from inside the 7th circle of hell: At kick-off the stadium was, at best, 2/3 full. The sentiment of those few in attendance was, "ok, let's get this over with." Low energy, low enthusiasm. By mid-first the stadium was 80+% full, but still dead. There was zero concern on the part of the host team or their crowd. The outcome was expected to the point of boredom.

Observations of MSU: From the second they took the field there was no doubt they were beat. No energy. No enthusiasm. They looked around at their surroundings and at the opponent and said, "ok, let's get this over with." Their was no expectation of success and no doubt about the outcome. They went through the motions. Whatever scintilla of hope might have been in the minds of MState players or fans went crashing down into the depths of Bama hell when that embarrassing 11 yard punt floated harmlessly out of bounds at the 32 yard line.

And, to close, Peter Sirmon is not the answer. Good Lord what a cluster fudge that was on D

Croom's 04 team lost to LSU 0-51 and (while it is less than a 48 point loss) his 07 team lost to LSU 0-45.
However, yesterday is the worst Mississippi State loss to Alabama since 1932, 0-53!!! Mullen can now add that to his completely inept record against UA.

Florida, circa 2001. 52-0.

Has there been one worse since?

My take is: it was a forfeit without having to do a bunch of paperwork and not be held responsible for tickets and consecions.

 

[tatedog]

Croom was outscored 88-7 in his first two games vs LSU. Closest he ever played was 34-24. I remember we were behind 35-0 either late first qtr or early 2nd qtr in 2006 as well.

^^^ About the only thing positive is that somehow we didn't get anyone important hurt.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

My question is, why didn't Mullen recognize this and just run the ball to shorten the game?

Aeris actually ran the ball fairly well yesterday. 5 yards per carry. But we only got him the ball 11 times. We got too pass happy too early in that game. Needed to run the play clock down to 5 seconds on every snap and mix the run and pass better. We wouldn't have won, but it wouldn't have been embarrassing either.

This. Work the hell out of that OL and Rb's because that's our only hope against Arkansas and Ole Miss.

To paraphrase:

"With all due respect, the fact is we got our asses beat. Was it because of a poor coaching effort or was it because of players out on the field who decided that they'd just like to get the whole thing over with? What difference at this point does it make?"

 

[the dog is on the loose]

No surprise in the score at all. I actually predicted 52-6. Should have bet on that one.

Yep agree with both of you

 

[StillTbonewannabe]

Auburn was pretty damn bad this year.

Aeris did run well and OL blocked pretty well. We ran the ball more than we threw it the first 5 drives though. Missed FG and turn over on downs. Then we are down 24 - 0 and had to pass more. And right now you have to challenge their DB's down the field to have a chance of beating them. Thought our gameplan was good and aggressive.
