Winning in OT wasn't a given for either team.
Eh I'm pretty confident we would have won.
Either way IF auburn had won in an average overtime fashion do bama fans then still try to demean that season by calling it fluky?
Not that it matters because lets be honest either fanbase is going to find something with which to try to demean the other's accomplishments, I just wonder if that rally cry would be the same.

The other factor is that AU hasn't been able to show that level of performance consistently from season to season.
Guess it's a good thing we're not coming off a good season then. Seems like that's a mark in favor of hyping auburn this year.

Win double digit games back to back a few times and people will start giving more credit to the seasons like you had in 2013 instead of claiming that season is the outlier.
So we're getting hype, but you guys are complaining of hype and you're saying we need to get back to back 10 win seasons to justify the hype we're already getting. That doesn't make much sense.

Aubbie is going to skullfrick the SEC's rotting corpse this year. Thats all you need to know.

Dude. Your cherry picking. We gashed their asses in the first half. You can not ignor that. We also gashes the at the end when we needed it. If not for a kick off TD and U.S. Missing a easy fg, it's not really close. But they happened and we lost.

I admitted that the BCSNC was not Pruitt's finest performance, but to hold Auburn to 10 points in a half (Or even 13 since we want to talk hypotheticals) was simply better than most could do against him. I'm also not ignoring the first half if you see my response to the Mizzou fan.

What do you say about 19 a game vs. Pruitt?
I don't think there's any argument that Malzahn hasn't struggled the most vs. Pruitt. Certainly hasn't had a problem vs. LSU, Bama, Ole Miss, Mizzou, or Arkansas.

We heard the same exact shite about how Chief was kryptonite for uptempo/spread O's.
Auburn was coming off a devastating loss to A&M. That had letdown game written all over it.

woah. I'm not complaining about any hype. The OP was. It has no impact on my life beyond conversations with friends if you get tons of hype or no hype.

No. I'm not saying you need to do anything to justify the hype. My point on consecutive successful seasons is that people are less likely to discount your success as "fluke" or "rare" if you have it more consistently. My point is about what is or isn't proper respect for a successful season, not preseason hype.

Pruitt?
7 points for an offense averaging 38 up to that point ... That's a pretty good day for UGA, and bad for Gus' offense.
31 v. Pruitt at FSU, when we actually had something left to play for.

LSU has a much better chance of winning 7 games than Auburn.

I'm a bit confused, was the season flukey becuase of the events that transpired in it (kick 6 and the uga game) or because we haven't gone back to back 10 win seasons?

May have nothing-may have a lot.
But you didn't answer my question.
ATPB = ATGB
As The Grove Burns
How did Booms D do his last year in Texas?
How did the team do?

Why don't you just tell us how he did so we can fast forward to what you're getting at.

I promise, despite how you may be taking this, I'm not trying to bash your team. I'll try to simplify it since I'm clearly not doing a good job of communicating my thought process.
I am of the opinion that many people consider AU's 2013 to be "flukey" due to A) some extremely rare plays that benefited AU and B) the fact that it is an outlier season from a success standpoint. If AU had the type of consistent success of an Oregon, a Bama, or an OSU then people wouldn't discount the success in 2013 as much. However, since AU hasn't consistently had consecutive successful seasons as of late, those people do not give AU the same benefit of doubt that Oregon, OSU, or Bama might receive in similar situations.

I wouldn't care if you were.
Just trying to clarify since the goal post keeps moving.
Even without consistency everyone seems to think highly of auburn. That matters about as much as people wanting to explain it away, i know. And consistency has nothing to do with 2015.

I can only assume you mean people that post here, because they're the ones complaining about the hype. And you know good and well that nothing here warrants benefit of doubt.
