re: Auburn's getting a lot of love based on a completely unproven qb

How is Stidham unproven? He played at Baylor. He doesn't have experience in this conference, but he has a good amount of game experience

Because for some reason Auburn being good at football makes a lot of people irrationally angry.

Even quantifiable facts that back up Auburn being good, people can't stand it. For example a few posts above yours I stated the facts that Auburn returns 4/5 starting OL from last season and they have over 100 starts between them. With that being the position group that people are most concerned about with us, it bodes well for the team as a whole... That's a completely fair statement backed up by quantifiable facts. But successful Auburn makes people angry, so let the downvotes pour in.

It's interesting really. People's reactions to Auburn athletics would make a great psychology case study.
