I’m knocking on 50 years old and have been an Auburn fan long enough to remember when we had orange face masks and Doug Barfield as our head coach. One thing above all else about being a follower of the Auburn Tigers is that you never, and I mean never, go into any season with any expectation of what you think will happen.

Too many seasons I’ve seen them go in with everyone saying they’re going to run the table only to see them shite the bed. And too many seasons I’ve seen everyone in preseason say they’ll break even at best only to watch them have a championship season. So when it comes to my beloved Auburn Tigers, best thing to do is not worry about what things will look like at the end of the season, instead you just enjoy the ride.

If the O-line has improved as they say they have, I think we have a chance to be in any game, but I worry it’s over hyped. 10-2 or 6-6 are equal possibilities and neither would shock me. Obviously QB play is the biggest X-factor, but there is a lot of experience team-wide to make this a good year

Feel you brother. I still have nightmares about the orange jerseys. There is just something about the way this year is unfolding. I am ordinarily a hardcore cynic, but I just believe Auburn is going to come out of the gate strong this year without the usual Gusgovenor holding these kids back. Hope I'm right.

I think we are pretty much done here folks. This sums up the magical mystery world of Auburn football. I'm not saying that to mock Auburn. Its just impossible to tell what you are going to get from the Tigers.

My concern for Auburn would be, as some have pointed out in this thread, that a very good Auburn team could windup with a very average looking season. They get Bama and Georgia at home but they could easily finish with 4 losses this year.
