what about this gem
quote:
It's not something we'd really like to acknowledge, but Auburn is in the bottom of the Big Six, historically. The Tigers are never better than 4th in any category and are tied for the bottom with Tennessee in the overall numbers.
Auburn also has the dubious distinction of being the team with the most years of finishing last in the conference. The Tigers have never taken that title outright, though. The only Big Six team to finish outright last in the conference is LSU in 1992. Florida tied for last in the conference in 1979. Those seasons for Auburn were 1980, 2008, and 2012. In all instances, the head coach was fired following that season.

This is shocking to me. Finish last 2 seasons, but also play for the national title twice near those 2 seasons as well.

The only way to recreate the bumbling idiocy of Curley would be to splice Dooley, Mason, Joker, Dooley's mom, Nutt, and John L. Smith together.

What program would you rather have. A team that has three undefeated seasons since 93', three SECC since 04, two appearances in the NC Game in the last 5 years, one BCSNC , or a program that is considered three on the list with nothing to show for it ?

what about this gem
During most of that time period, Auburn played 4 of the 5 remaining Big Six (not counting Auburn) EVERY DAMN YEAR in their schedule. The only one we didn't play on an annual basis from the 1960's to the 1990's is LSU.
How many of the Big Six teams (not counting UGA) did UGA play on an annual basis? Auburn and Florida? That's it, right?
So while Auburn's SEC schedule in most of those years was packed with the Big Six, UGA's was what? Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Ole Miss?
