Sorry I'm not sorry that Auburn is a well prepared, well disciplined program that is coached to take advantage of each and every opportunity to come away with a win.
Maybe more of your coaches should try to emulate Bear Bryant and Gus Malzahn so that they will have more successful football programs but oh well, that's none of my business

So you're saying he was a pretty good coach.
Thanks for your interest in our program.

Using Bear to prove an argument... Don't speak poorly of the Bear, again.

Is Auburn back to liking refs? I am confused.

Are Aubies really trying to act like they have not benefitted from many lucky breaks the last two seasons? Really?

This is a quote from a little bit before Bear Bryant's time. Seneca, a first-century Roman philosopher, is considered the first man to have uttered this statement. And - no - Bear Bryant did not invent the game of football.

I thought luck was when preparation meets a Manning?

No, I went to college so I would not make this statement

Gus Malzahn and auburn are built on smoke and mirrors,gimmicks,luck, UGA rejects (felons) and juco players

Here's a bump because I continue to see "luck" threads being posted

I wish I had a list of quotes that were wrongly attributed to Paul Bryant. It would be massive.

Those orange jackets are absolutely disgusting.

Luck is when Preparation meets Broken Fibula.

Sorry your coach took credit for the work of others but the point remains the same, Auburn is not lucky we are Opportunistic

After giving up 1 1/2 football fields in penalties I am not sure I would use the word disciplined in the OP. The luck stuff is just a narrative for losers to spout off about against us. Suck it up.

from many lucky breaks the last two seasons?
2013
UGA - I will say it, that was lucky
Bama - That was based on coaching and personnel. Go back and watch the substitutions
Mizzou - Was it was luck that allowed Mason to rush for 304 yards and 4 TDs and have 677 yards of total offense?
FSU - In case you missed it, we lost that game
2014
OM - Did we catch a break, sure. But we were in that game till the end. Even if they had scored, we still had 3 TOs and 1:30 to drive and kick a field goal and our offense had really been clicking at that point. AU's offense was only the second team to score a TD on OM in the first quarter this year and we also posted over 500 yards of total offense against what I would argue is the best D in the SEC and one of the best D's in the country.
If you want to argue about luck, it goes both ways. AU on the road against Ms State earlier this year. Have you ever seen a team start out with 2 turnovers on their first two offensive plays in their own red zone? Talk about unlucky.
And for the Bama fans who want to say AU is so lucky, that is laughable.
Give it a rest. One truly lucky play and the game from this weekend. Those 2 out of 21 games. Luckiest team in America.
ETA: Actually, we were the first team.

Why does any Auburn fan give two fricks about what the other SEC fans think about them?
