Spencer Hall is a blogging god, but I can’t believe he whiffed on the 2008 Mississippi State team in this post. Easily the most hideous SEC offense I watched in the past decade.
And who can forget this classic? (Although Tuberville wishes he could.)

UPDATE: Mr. Hall responds.
… As for why we left off Mississippi State, Blutarsky? Because we liked watching them suck, so grandiose was their coach-killing horror. Plus they won four games, a lofty total for the group we described, and because they actually had a defense. The teams we described? Horrendous in every imaginable way.
I suspect his judgment is colored by gratitude over the Zooker getting Croomed.
“Number 9 Auburn Tigers” Ugh.

Yeah, that whole Tony Franklin experiment didn’t end too well.

That remains maybe the most fascinated I’ve ever been by a game not involving Georgia. I could not turn it off.

It’s the ultimate car-wreck-on-the-side-of-the-highway game.

What’s funny is looking back on how AU fans like myself attempted to construe ways things weren’t as bad offensively as they appeared to be. Meanwhile we were celebrating a defense that had just shut out a Croom/McCorcey offense. 2008 really blew up in our face.
