I can put up with a lot, but the year in, year out of Gus Malzahn suckage killed my interest in Auburn football as well. I think I watched four games last season.


Yep. I may have watched 15 minutes all of last year. I had zero interest in more Gus Malzahn football and the “things will change this year” story.

I didn't lose interest, but it has been years since I stopped watching after the third quarter so often............and a lot of games I should have stopped watching at the half.

The games were just painful to watch last year...especially the wins like Miss State, Ole Miss and Arkansas

Let's hear your recruiting takes. Not in this post, but seperately. You are like Statler and Waldorff combined.

Brother, you don't want to know. Hopefully now that people can get on campus again we can get some momentum but we are wayyyyy behind.

This reminds me of some ole ITAT threads where folks were bragging about how much they hated AU Football passively.

AU Football still top-5 in my life, have your pity party elsewhere. For the record, 15-0 ship.

Love the amusement park ride that said - have to be this much "year" fan to play. Always a dead giveaway.

The measure of a man has nothing to do with college football. The measure of a man is one who works hard and supports and loves his family. You need to get your priorities straight.

Not me RS.. This is like an Auburn version of a Whack-A-Mole game, but the moles all have mallets too. Never change Auburn Board.

I've absolutely hated Auburn football the last few years. I've spent so many hours frustrated and cursing CGM.... but you know what? I still watched nearly every single game, maybe every game. I can't think of any I missed honestly.

We've been through worse times and survived and so better times on the other side. We'll be back among the best in the league again soon enough. War Eagle.

I'm with you. For whatever reason, maybe I'm a masochist, maybe it was passed down generationally, I'll watch every sad snap.

I watch every snap also. I can't help that feeling that AU will win somehow. I know, I know...

For the author of this crap .....Try following Harvard ....

more your style and speed . Better yet ...there's that school on the other side of state ...at least you'll feel you win every week .....


Looking forward to watching you in the cattle run held each year in the stadium.

Last season didn’t really count because of Covid. There was hardly a season or team where kids weren’t quarantined left and right. Games being rescheduled etc.

The year before we were above avg. I suspect we will a bunch of games this year
