We are a better program than we were this time last year. Hold your water. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a top tier football program.

we will never be top tier. WE cant even get a top recruiting class! Atm, Tenn, uga, bama, lsu...sure. Auburn? No chance.

What is going on in here?

We are crushing any sunshine or Auburn hopeful thoughts with realistic viewpoints.

So instead of saying that our RB room is elite, we say that Hunter is really unproven and shouldnt be playing bc of his off the field incidents, Amari is a nobody with zero proof he can be a RB in the SEC and Battie is a small fry out of South Florida who is probably gonna get banged up the first hard tackle he gets hit with

0-15 shite!

No more lines at Toomers, no more long waits at downtown restaurants on Saturdays, no more gummed up buses filled with shakers and dumb hair barrettes.

The student section DJ will play The Cure, the stupid jumbotron will play silent German expressionist films, we'll have black-out games in mourning rather than excitement.

Radio play by play will be nothing but sighs and tears.

We'll direct all NIL monies to tennis and thumb our noses at bama and UGAs champeenships.

Good times are on the way!

I’ve said for a while that we win 7 games, 8 of we’re lucky, and 9 if we play perfectly *and* get lucky.

Probably about where I am. I think we could pull one upset but I still think we may get 8 wins. LSU and Texas AM will be swing games if we can beat them. Lots of new pieces will need some time to gel

dont run away now clown boy. You really think we have a shot at winning in Red Stick?? REally? Have you not seen our recruting classes? LSU is far superior talent wise and by the way, in case you forgot, We are Auburn!. We dont win big games. We lose to any team with a pulse

8-4 is the floor I realistically think 9-3 maybe 10-2

Samford W
@ A&M L

@ LSU L

We would have to pick off both Mississippi squads and Arkansas to get to 8 wins assuming everything else remains chalk.

That would be impressive but do not think we get that done.

Worst case scenario we lose at A&M, vs. UGA, limp into bye week, and then we roll into Red Stick just to lose again. Now, at that point it is possible we throw in the towel by the time Ole Miss rolls into town.

If that happens we might beat State but lose to Vanderbilt

If Freeze manages to heal and bounce it could possibly look like this:
UMass W
@ Cal W
Samford W
@ A&M L
Georgia L
Off
@ LSU L
Ole Miss W
Miss State W
@ Vandy W
@Arkansas W
NM State W
Bama L

In summary our best case scenario is someone else concrete floor.
