re: Why UA, AU, and MAYBE LSU fans should be happy about football...

Last year's auburn team was an incredible story. They had a ton of heart and won some incredible games. And they were oh so close to a national championship.

They also beat UGA on pure luck. They got manhandled by LSU earlier in the season. If you want to set aside the LSU game and talk about only the end of the season, then in the last four games it was pure luck (UGA), an impressive upset of Bama but it took quite a few breaks, a solid handling of Mizzou, and a close loss to FSU. Very impressive for an underrated team. Hardly impressive if you claim to be the best team in the nation.

And that's the catch-22 of auburn's season last year. You have to do some mental gymnastics to call them the an elite team, one to compare with recent championship teams of Alabama and LSU. If you want to look only at won/loss, and say "great teams find a way to win" and ignore the details, then you have two losses. If you want to look at the details and look deeper, then yes - auburn played toe to toe with FSU and damn near won it all, but they also got their arse handed to them by LSU, had a miracle tip against UGA, and needed our kicker to melt down and then the famous kick 6 to beat Bama.

Put another way: If Alabama was the nation's best team in the Iron Bowl as their ranking indicated, then auburn's scrappy performance is to be admired and respected. If you want to make the case that auburn was the best team in the nation last year, then the Alabama game was nothing to brag about, and you have some explaining to do about UGA, LSU, and FSU, as well as a stinker against Mississippi State.

You can't be both the dominating champion and the scrappy underdog at the same time. You have to choose one or the other.

Grats on ending the streak. Ty gent. Les' retarded arse owns auburn. Expect another stiff dew bukake this fall. Dont ever talk down to your daddy boy. Have a great day.

That's not luck, that's skill. Now the last two Auburn games of the regular season? That's a miracle. I have seen an angel, and he is orange and blue.

LSU, well.. Was the first team to lose in the title game

So both always won from the 1st CFB title game ever played until that year? Interesting... I don't know how I missed that.

Here are some interesting facts for LSU fans who think they are going to beat Auburn next year:


LSU has only won two games inside Jordan Hare Stadium in the 21st century and Auburn finished with a losing record both years (2008 and 2012)

You probably have to go back 30 or 40 years to find the last time LSU won a game inside Jordan Hare against an Auburn team who finished the season with a winning record

Auburn will almost certainly have a winning record next year, so LSU fans might want to engage in their normal daily activities of wrestling alligators for a living instead of wasting their time making the trip to Auburn

Oh yeah, in before all the excuses about the referees cheating LSU

Thread still goin?

Man Garrison sure does some work on you LSU tards.

When has LSU ever blown Auburn out in Jordan Hare?You struggled just to beat those two teams with losing records

Go out and beat 10 top 25 teams in one season and let's not forget losing to us and oh yeah losing to FSU and then we can maybe talk

Enjoy your fandom. I'm happy you take joy in it because the lack of polish put forth in your OP leads me to believe that you work for the county as a ditch digger. The world needs ditch diggers. Salute.
