Let's break down a few things about the game.


1) it's going to be played in Jordan Hare Stadium

2) Auburn has the better coach

3) UKs QB is coming off a major injury

4) The unbiased Vegas oddsmakers have Auburn winning by over 10 PTS

1) sorry, not the same crowd...
2) in no way is Malzahn better. Stoops is clearly above him.
3) Kentucky quarterback is 110%
4) those Vegas oddsmakers the same ones that picked the derby? Lol

1) At what 20% capacity?
2) Im not sure Auburn fans would all agree on this.
3) True although his injury was a year and a day ago. He seems fully recovered but who knows.
4) PSPN's Pioneer Report No Jinx Pick is Auburn by 11 so I can't dispute you there.

You can't underestimate the huge advantage that Auburn will have by playing in a nearly empty Jordan-Hare stadium

Stoops is 44–44
Gus is 62-31

Ones at Auburn and ones at Kentucky. Stoops has done better with the talent Kentucky gets compared to Auburn.

If Kentucky had the past 4-5 star talent as Auburn......Stoops would have been coach of the year....multiple times!

One coach has averaged the #9 recruiting class while the other has averaged the #31st best recruiting class in the country since 2013. I think theres an argument to be made that Gus should have done more with the talent he's had.

Do we? Really?

Gus finds a way to shite the bed in one of these games almost every year. Gus has a pretty good season debut record, even if it looks ugly.

Let's break down a few things about the game.


1) it's going to be played in Jordan Hare Stadium - Where Auburn is 0-2 vs their last 2 SEC East Opponents

2) Auburn has the better coach - Better talent...yes...better coach...no.

3) UKs QB is coming off a major injury - He was injured on September 14, 2019. This game will be played more than a full year from when he was injured.

4) The unbiased Vegas oddsmakers have Auburn winning by over 10 PTS - Auburn was an 18 point favorite over Tennessee in 2018 (the last SEC East team besides Georgia to play at JH Stadium). They were 7 point favorites over Minnesota in their bowl game last year. Auburn has had a way of making odds makers look stupid lately.

That's definitely an ongoing argument every year.

No they don’t

Where do you see that? I’ve seen Auburn as a 4-6 point favorite with most being 4 and a hook.

But you’re right. Auburn can’t lose!!

So as a dog you win or cover but as a favorite you lose or don’t cover? Is that what you’re saying?

Saying that Gus will pull out some wins he shouldn't (we aren't favored to win) and he also tends to shite the bed against a seemingly overmatched opponent.
