Great win vs LSU, but that was a game that got away from the Tigers quickly and couldn't be put back in the box. It happens

Every advantage in the world to end up barely avoiding another loss vs a down Bama.

Beat badly by an elite team and an average one.

So, Not enough evidence. It's a great offensive scheme. But, it places a lot of pressure on a defense.

I guess we'll see. But, I'm selling if gun is to my head (which is a bit fallacious, as I never bought)

That's what is so bad about losing a game to USUC. They might only beat you 1 outta every 5 games, but you hear about that 1 game until they win their next one.

I don't blame them for crowing about it. They played great that game and we didn't. I just can't wait to stop hearing about it. TBH, other schools have dickrode that win more than USC fans.

YES...they are BACK! Back to being the red-headed step child in the SEC East, where they belong.

Back to what? ONE national title since the Korean War? Whoop dee damned doo. And before UT fans yammer on about beating UK so much, guess what? So did everybody else.

ONLY UT fans think they're a historically relevant program. I mean, once Oklahoma and Texas join up they'll be the EIGHTH best program historically just in the SEC, maybe? Throw in Ohio State, Clemson, Michigan, USC, Notre Dame, Penn State, FSU and Miami and they might squeak into the top 20 overall?

No wonder these people willingly wear orange, year round.

We are working on it lol

Hopefully next year we can challenge for a SEC title.

We lost a lot of good talent last year I am not making a prediction for now.

Auburn is a second tier cow college compared to Tennessee. We are still the second winningest all time SEC football program or right at it.

The only outlier is Aubie football in 2010 and scam Newton.

If we can follow up with a road win against either Florida or Alabama- the two teams that are historic headaches for us- then maybe. I'm too cautious to buy it just yet.

That game was South Carolina's revenge for Marquez North's catch.

Anybody that thought a program like UT was gonna stay down forever was ignorant. Same will happen with Nebraska. I hear people all the time saying Nebraska's dead. Check back in a few years. These programs have roots too deep, resources aplenty and a brand name.




No way is Nebraska ever going to be back to what they once were. UT has potential to get better and win the SEC at some point but Nebraska is down and out and is not climbing up out the hole in the foreseeable future.

I love that UTJr's last great team played in the Citrus Bowl.


I love that Flo2ida sucks major donkey balls, and will for a long time to come.

That was good stuff. Ruined their one chance in a hundred years to be relevant nationally. Well, maybe they won't have to play us next time they have that chance, sometime in 2113.

You sure do have a ton of strange error filled posts at around 3am . Do we need to stage an secrant intervention?
