Do any of you concede that deep down you are afflicted with fear over never getting to a national championship game, and that if you do that you'll blow it?
I ask not to flame.. and I seriously doubt I'll get any "yes" responses. BUT, i start the thread because ultimately I have been shocked at how well Chizik has done at creating positive energy and recruiting... even hiring a motivational coaching staff. (major props where props is due)... but ultimately, I just feel that this staff won't accomplish a national title. in fact, i really don't think they'll maintain an effective year in and year out answer to Saban and company.

Honestly, yes. Absolutely.

A whole lot of false hope, IMO.
When Chizik was rumored to be the next coach at Auburn, they thought it was a joke. Then he was hired. Some laughed, others rallied around him. This past recruiting class combined with the presence of Gus really has them thinking that they can conquer Alabama.

fwiw, you are the type of auburn fan i can admit that i personally fear.
i think any REAL boog would admit they ARE afflicted by this. because they want it THAT fricking bad. any that DON'T admit it are in denial. and i like your lot to be in denial.

please offer your opinion as to why Auburn will NEVER win a national title. i'd love to hear if you can propose anything resembling a legitimate case.

bama fans are a disease.
i would rather be an aubbie than a bammer- even if that meant never winning another game.
But alas, i am neither, thank the football gods for that.

After 1983, 1993, and 2004, along with years where we were so close but failed to capitalize like 1988 and 2006, it's hard not to be afraid that we are snakebitten.

Funny you ask this question today.
I woke up three times last night thinking about it.

Was it outright or shared? Have heard both.
