You don't think it's possible that they used that for motivation? Plus Gus himself confirmed a pretty significant part of the story.

UT had a losing streak to UF that went back over multiple coaching staffs and none of the players were a part of it at the beginning. Do you think that stopped them from using it as motivation?

Too bad that they didn't use losing to clemson in 2012 for motivation.

Or getting absolutely demolished by Texas A&M in Auburn in 2012 for motivation.

No, now's the time when they really cared. So they reached back to years when they were in high school and remembered Auburn losing every SEC game to finally get motivation for fricking Mississippi State.

Plausible situation Joey: SEC network previews AU-MSU. Booger makes reference "Fun fact guys, you know Auburn is 1-7 in its last SEC games before noon? Just saying - watch out!" Marcus Davis is watching said preview, picks up phone, calls Gus..."Hey coach I just heard this, I got an idea to make sure it doesn't t happen again,......"

I think you are trying waaaay to hard to make this into a fallacy. We don't know the catalyst but we sure do know the reaction which was an arse whoopin.

Chex, props to you on the Kam Pettway hype machine earlier this year prior to the season. Nobody foresaw the transfers, but you called it.

I feel like Chex takes my predictions and just echos them louder and everyone gives him credit for my great ideas.

now that is how you write some grade a bullshite clickbait

Beg pardon, I was merely theorizing where the "1-7 in early kickoff games" may have come from. I was making no value judgement on the veracity of the story in the OP.

Please don't jump on me like this. I still remember the merciless ridicule you heaped upon me back in 2014, when I had the temerity to suggest that we might not blow out TAMU by as much as you predicted. I don't know if I can take the humiliation.

such a trash argument from a usually good poster.


Gus Malzahn pretty much confirmed this whole story in the OP and you're sitting here trying to deny it. It's sad really. You can admit you're wrong sometimes. It's ok.

Yall are full of it.

I call it like i see it. Pettway, Sean, our LBs, our defense in general. I've been winning so much this year, yall say, Mr. Chex, were tired of all this winning. Please we cant take it anymore!

Nobody watched the Auburn Football Review? Gus said this in his interview.
Auburn Football Review 1:40

And he said nothing about 1-7 in losses. That part could have been made up by the writer.
