Alabama vs Auburn: Anti-climatic


Well, I am definitely for the climate. We wouldn't be able to live without it. So I guess I am pro-climatic.

This is a rivalry game at home, LSU game is irrelevant in my honest opinion.

You're letting emotion affect your thought process. Relax.

Saban will be the German they let go in Saving Private Ryan' slowly placing the knife in Malzahn's chest.

Is it okay if we just cheer for our team and plan to beat every team we go against? Is that not what most other fan bases do?

In 2010, I would listen to the radio shows here in bammerland, and all I heard was, "Well, Auburn has a pretty good team, but if I were a fan I wouldn't get too excited."

If we don't win Saturday, I for one won't be devastated or depressed but just thankful for a fun season and an over-achieving team. And I think there will be AU fans yelling their heads off when the game is over - win or lose.

We'll, you're definitely not one of the AU posters I would be referring to.

Enjoy what you can, my friend.

Can't say I disagree with your assessment. It's common knowledge that Gus will have to open up the playbook and we will have to have some tossups turn in our favor.

I'm very curious to see what Gus does with two weeks of prep. Alabama's 3-4 has always been deadly to the run. I think Gus opens up, goes for broke.

I don't know many fans who expect to win, but it's okay to be optimistic. We have quick receivers and a QB with a (sometimes inaccurate) cannon for an arm. Plus, we get them at home. Plus, this is the Iron Bowl and anything can happen.

Only two of his Ints have been cause by poor decision making. Two were end of the half long throws and one was a bad play called from the sideline. He has overthrown wide open receivers deep early (twice against UGA), but for the most part is finding the open receiver. Gus has held back the passing game since A&M , because the run game has been lights out. Look for the playbook to open.

Back for my crow.

Congrats to AU coaches for putting their team in a position to win, even when losing the turnover battle.

Saban couldn't beat AU even as a one dimensional team. Less than 100 yards passing with the safeties balls out to the run! Lol

AU's misdirection and triple option wore those big LBers down, Moseley included.

I did have to laugh at Marshall's attempts to take the top off of a defense committed to the run. Several wide open targets either missed by a mile, or the receiver cruising in stride oblivious to the ball, waiting for a defender to deflect it to him. (Louis). Lol.

Great entertaining game.

I was wrong. Won't be the last time.

Reasonable post. My head says Alabama by 17, but my guy is telling me some crazy shite is going to go down at Jordan-Hare and this thing is going to be decided on the last possession.


Is your guy a wizard?
