I get it we suck
But so do you
What have you done this season to make you think you stand a chance against Bama at home?

Upsets like this happen often. I don't really see it but if they're healthy enough I wouldn't think auburn fans would expect to have no chance.

Because its the Iron Bowl and crazy things have happened in recent years.

They have a good D-line, our O-line isnt the greatest when 100% healthy, and there are questions about C-Rob's health due to him getting injured on Saturday. Hurts looked terrible last week and could very well struggle to pass the ball again this week.

It's not out of the question that this game could be much closer than the betting lines suggest.

If Kiffin tries to get too cute and call a ton of bubble screens and 3 yard passes, it could be a long day for the Bama offense.

Who is confident? Our starting QB is likely out and our best running back and leading blocker MAY play.

We have one of the better defenses in the SEC and we were leading the country in rushing again, but that was before we lost our entire backfield to injury.

Because Auburn is one of Bama true rivals, Their players know how to get up for the game, they know that the record of the teams don't matter.

I think you made this up. Haven't seen any confident Auburn fans. Maybe a few optimistic. And a handful of usual trolls.

Is this the hate Auburn thread just cause? I have a great deal of respect for Auburn. We do kid with each other but it's nothing to get butt hurt about.

Auburn always has a legit shot to win the Iron Bowl regardless of their record. Same goes for Bama.

I don't think there are many realistic Auburn fans being confident.

We don't really have a reason to be considering the amount of injuries and lackadaisical effort the last few weeks.

0 first downs after half time against Georgia does wonders for one's confidence

Bama is resting some starters. Meaningless game.

What planet do you come from?

I don't know any Auburn fans that are confident about the game. Hopeful, maybe, but not confident.

Whaddya mean, 'so confident'?

Dude. We're Auburn. We're filled with self-loathing.

Case in point, right here ITT

Bama might rest their starters for this game. This year's Iron Bowl means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

However, Auburn offense is pretty bad when they can't run the ball at will, which they won't against Bama. I could see Bama's D getting a couple of defensive TD against the barn and Bama winning 31-3.
