Arkansas will not lose to the Tigers in 2014.


3-0.




Also, Gus is really shitty to start the year, so don't kill yourself when you guys lose by 2 scores and give up over 200 yards to either Williams or Collins, maybe both.


I don't have the highest opinion of Auburn's chances at being as good as they were last year but... Arkansas has just a metric ton of problems to fix

Besides Arky of course. I gotta go with LSU. Bert left Wisky a lot of talent.


After your last thread got whacked, I'd think you have learned not to make shitty threads trolling Arkansas. Trolling LSU on an forum ran by LSU fans is a bad idea.

I'll throw out some actual evidence. Gus Malzahn coached teams in openers against BCS opponents.



2013 - Auburn 31-24 over Washington State
2012 - Arkansas St. lost 34-57 to Oregon (it was 29-0 after 1, 50-10 at the half)
2006 - Arkansas lost 50-17 to USC (won the SEC west)


He's 1-2 and barely scraped by with the one win against a shitty Washington State team on an Auburn team that finished 12-2 and lost in the national title game.

I hear Nutt is going to sue the Travs for stealing his personal likeness and using it for their new mascot.

I'll give you an A + for effort...

Wait, I'm kidding. You suck worse than the football team you cheer for.

right, I mean, I hear you - even Cammy Cam started out a bit slow (well, by the standards of what he was producing in the second half of the season)

but I repeat METRIC TON OF PROBLEMS TO FIX

Auburn has needed miracles to beat Ms. State in multiple years.

Of course not. DaleDenton is borderline retarded, as evidenced by his posts.

Well MS State > Arkansas. Walking the field and scoring is not miracles. Your fans for some reason can't see how bad your team is. It doesn't matter what Arkansas did under other coaches or what Gus did at other schools when he was out matched. What matters is the players and coaches they have now and last time they played Auburn won by 21 and would have won by more had Gus not let up. There is no other stat that you can post that says as much as that.

Auburn fans should be terrified tbh.


Gus is only 2-3 when facing Arkansas.

in 2011 Auburn was 4-1 when they faced Arkansas.

Gus's Super Bowl.

After we beat them they went 4-3 over the rest of the season.


In 2009 Auburn was 5-0 when Gus rolled in to face the most important opponent in his life.

After we dismantled them Auburn limped home with a 3-4 record.

In 2008 Tulsa faced Arkansas with Gus hoping to exact vengeance for being passed over for the head coaching job. Facing one of the worst Arkansas teams in history Tulsa rolled in at 8-0 and ranked.

After Arkansas showed the world how gimmicky Gus truly is, Tulsa finished out by going 3-2.



Now, in the two winning seasons for Gus.. here's how it played out.

in 2013 Auburn was 7-1 and they managed to cheat their way to a victory using faked injuries over a depleted Arkansas squad.

They finished up the year going 4-1.

in 2010 Auburn was 6-0 and on the back of a ball fumbled from the 2 yard line that was scored a TD and another fumble that wasn't managed to win a shootout against Arkansas's inexperienced backup QB.

Auburn finished that year going 7-0.


So, seasons that Auburn wins..




Gus is 13-1 prior to facing Arkansas and 11-1 after facing them.


In seasons where Arkansas wins...

Gus is 17-1 prior to facing Arkansas and 10-9 afterwards.





When Arkansas wins, Auburn might struggle to make a bowl game.

Auburn's head coach in 2010 was definitely black and wasn't on the sidelines that year

Newton was the best coach Auburn will ever sniff.

I guess you could say LSU if you're thinking that we're due. Has Les ever lost a regular season OOC game at LSU?
