You'll be missed.

Back on topic, has Auburn upgraded its secondary at all? It has been a long time since the stable was full back there.

Arkansas has some defensive issues too. Could have the makings of a shootout when they get together next November.

I'm pretty sure I remember well enough.

133
80
47
238
181 (72 on one play)

These are Chris Todd's passing yards in Auburn's 5 losses. With the exception of the UGA game and one great bomb against Alabama, he stunk it up against the best of the SEC and padded his numbers against the rest.

128
144
157 (120)

These are Tate's rushing totals against UT, OM, and MSU. McCaleb also went for 120 against MSU.

Tate's running was the sole difference between 8-5 (3-5) and 5-7 (1-7) for Auburn in 2009.

apparently not because now you are changing the argument

how does

have anything to do with him leading Auburn to 8 wins. Also, out of 5 games, you throw two out

And Todd's arm also help win those 8 games, Tate helped and was great, but without Todd Auburn would have been 2008 again

Gotta love this fallacious logic.

Team Y hasn't beaten Team Z in X years at Stadium W, ergo Team Y will NEVER beat Team Z in Stadium A ever again!

Bielema was barely .500 against the best teams in the Big 10, and Malzahn was like .975 against the same teams. Auburn will easily destroy Arkansas like they have every year. They flat out embarrassed us last year when they destroyed tGrandpa, and that was one of our best teams this decade.

Why so testy? Do you just not like all jokes or do you dislike only those jokes about auburn, or only those jokes about Cam?


Jokes that are unoriginal, uncreative, and unfunny often invoke testiness.

Sounds like standard rant logic.

It is pretty hilarious that you invoke logic while concurrently misstating the major and minor premises AND the conclusion.

My bet is we beat auburn like a drum next year like we did the year before and the year before that.


At our worst we still blew out auburn. At both programs recent best we led going into the fourth against them and choked the game away.

Also Auburn will have defensive issues next year like gus has never had to worry about.

If you're talking about 2011, everyone in the SEC can say the same.

They played about everyone close. LINK

While I think Auburn will be the better team in 2014, this statement is simply not true. The AU/Gus combination was 1-2 against Arkansas, losing by 21 and 24 when not quarterbacked by Cam Newton.

Further, the series is tied at 10-10-1 since Arkansas joined the SEC and neither team has won more than three straight. Auburn leads the total series by virtue of a 1984 Liberty Bowl win.

You can't get more evenly matched.
