For a "little guy" you sure seem obsessed with Arkansas.

Thank god you guys can't cover fake field goals!


The one in the swamp in 2010 drives me nuts. You knew it was a fake. That was when Urban was a shell of himself.

Well if you are playing a team and they frick up, I would say there is some luck involved in that.

well I mean if you fumble a bunch of kick offs and the other team recovers it I think that's more on us than them

and that's not why we even lost - we couldn't cover Treadwell in 1v1

Bama then Florida

even with McFadden and Felix Jones Bama took us to OT '06 or won '07. Bama rallied in '10 and Arkansas missed the fricking extra point in '14.

I don't even want to talk about Florida.

Really.

Like something really lucky.

Like a ball bouncing off a helmet into the arms of a wide open receiver to win the game.

Like a fake FG play where the ball is bounced off the ground and it goes up perfectly into the arms of the streaking kicker.

Real luck type stuff here is what I'm looking for.

I'm going to respond to this in a way that most Bama fans can understand...

LSU was lucky to even be in the 2012 and 2014. Bama had to play like shite for that to happen.

Facts are facts. Sorry you read into everything so much and turn it into a personal attack.

Does it not seem strange to you that Auburn has only a marginally better record since '92 against Arkansas than they do against the other "Big 6" teams?

If you look at every single SEC team since '92, they all have a better record against Arkansas than they do combined against the "Big 6". Every single team.

For example... Georgia has an 80% winning percentage against Arkansas. We have a 43.9% winning percentage against the "Big 6". If you take the difference we are +36.1% against Arkansas compared to the "Big 6."

You can do this exercise for every single SEC program, and they all have a better record against Arkansas than they do against the "Big 6" collectively.

Put them in order, and this is how they rank:

+76.9% Texas A&M
+45.3% Kentucky
+36.1% Georgia
+35.3% Florida
+27.7% Tennessee
+15.4% S. Carolina
+15.1% Alabama
+13.9% Ole Miss
+11.0% LSU
+9.9% Mississippi State
+7.8% Vanderbilt
+4.7% Auburn

Auburn is dead last in this statistic. The other 12 teams combine to perform +21.1% better against Arkansas than they do against the "Big 6". Auburn is at just 4.7%.

This is my point. Auburn over-performs against the bigger name teams while they under-perform against the lesser teams in the conference. It's just who Auburn seems to be.

Auburn ranks 3rd in the SEC in "Big 6" winning percentage since 1992. They trail only Florida and Alabama in this statistic. Auburn has a better overall winning percentage against the "Big 6" than LSU, Georgia, Tennessee, and every other team in the league.

Yet Auburn is 8th in the league in winning percentage against Arkansas since 1992. Even Kentucky has a better winning percentage against the Razorbacks than Auburn does.

Is this not at all out of line to you?

Tennessee has been lucky to beat us the last 3 years. Even during 7-5 and 3-9 years

All were less than a touchdown IIRC.

Lucky arse catch to set up a FG in 2013. We choked I think a 21 point lead in 2014. And last year we were down a field goal and got into FG range with little time left and our TE fumbled trying to get extra yards.

No moral victories claimed by me. Just the only example I can think of for us, and I feel I make a decent argument.

Tebow threw for more yards than Mallet
UF out rushed Arky
UF was 3/4 in FG Arky was 2/4
UF had more receiving yards
UF was better at punting
UF was better at Punt Return
Arky was better at kick return

UF scored more points.

Keep reliving your dream where Arky won that 2009 game though.

I've seen Auburn shite in a swinging bucket so many times I've lost count. Not only against my team, but against EVERY team! It goes beyond luck at this point. There's some deal with the devil where Jay Jacobs and Pat Dye have pledged their soul to Lucifer for unending, undying, incredible luck for the ages. Luck of the Irish my arse; they ain't got nothin' on the Luck of the Plainsmen!
