SuperSaint,
"ive been hearing this from bama fans this past wk, but i dont buy it, they seem pretty confident just dont wanna sound arrogant imo"
Bingo! You pegged me head on. Deep down, I just don't see how Auburn can pull it off. The streak/fear effect doesn't bother me at all this year.
I do realize that if La.Mo can beat us last year, and if Stanford can beat USC like last year, and inspite of COUNTLESS other examples like these.....then Auburn COULD beat us. It's a game with 22 chess pieces in action on every play. TONS of things COULD happen. And although we may or may not be better than every team in the NCAA this year, almost every stat or average that we have this year is better than Auburn in every way.
So confident yes. Respectful of this rivalry, ABSOLUTELY. Nothing like being beaten 6 times in a row in the world's sickest rivalry that will humble you more. Hence the WISH to remain not arrogant. Arrogance is just an unfortunate side-effect from tons and tons of winning, and I wish it NEVER took hold in people... humility is a good thing.
RTR.
