Auburn is in no position to point fingers at the moment. If we win more games this season than Bama and beat yall in Jordan-Hare, expect the smack talk to increase sharply.

Bro, we lose to Vandy like once a decade. Ain’t no thing.
Damn, I just went and looked. It is worse than I would have thought.
Vandy and Auburn are tied with a series record of 22-22-1.
Vandy has won 3 of the last 5.

Tenessee has had 1 kick arse season in the last 24 years, and it ended in the most embarrassing way possible.

There's that sanctimonious auburn party line when the going gets tough.
"Fan" implies athletics. Most alums care about their school, that goes without saying, but it makes Auburn fans feel better about themselves to actually say it

They are trying to get out of the wilderness. The fans are just hoping that Freeze has a game plan that brings the barners back to glory. At this point, no one can be sure which way it's going.
Optimism is there for the Auburn fans.
Coming this year:
Our best oline we've had in years
One of the best WR rooms in the country
QB not a freaking clue
Defense should be good all over.
Got the best kicker in the country coming back
Freeze gameday coaching - does lend some WTF moments
We could win the conference or go winless in the conference.

I’m old. It’s just not as big a deal when you get old.

I think interest in college football is waning in general. As an Auburn fan, our suckitude the last five years has just accelerated our apathy a couple of years ahead of the rest of you guys.

The 2004 Georgia/Auburn game was the most physically thorough beatdown that Georgia had experienced under Ritcht at the time, and those Richt teams were really really good. It was shell shocking.
That '04 team was something else. Didn't win a natty, but it is, by far, the best Auburn team I've had the pleasure to watch in my lifetime.

He had several 4* and 5* long time OL commits that flipped on or near signing day. NIL came early.

With each decision the powers that be have taken the things away that made college football magical.
In Auburn’s specific case, the first SEC expansion nixed Auburn versus Tennessee which was a big game in September from the mid 1950s until 1992.
Then they nixed the Auburn Florida game. Florida was the first SEC team to play in Auburn in 1939. Georgia came in 1960. Tennessee in 1974, Alabama in 1989. Auburn is still geographically the closest SEC school to Florida.
Now we have unlimited free agency every few months.
TV dictates the game day experience.
The game day experience has been homogenized into a Stepford picnic. Every aspect is monetized.
I think those of us over 60 find going to a game a chore rather than a pleasure. I think the younger set values their time more than hot aluminum benches and waiting on lengthy TV timeouts..

They're trying to keep the Saban negotiations on the downlow until they can get a proper security detail in place.

2017? 2 very impressive wins against UGA and Bama but a disastrous final two games and 4 losses total. Not a banner year by any stretch.
