Auburn played an AAC team less than two years ago and lost. I don’t think they’re very worried.

Yet Texas is "in deep shite" when they have had a very similar 40-year stretch that Auburn has had?




wait, you want to cherry pick years? What has Texas done the last decade besides have coaching changes? Don't crow about what you did 40 years ago. Two out of three of our coaches won the conference.


ETA Hell, I just looked. 2009 is the last time you won that two team conference?

People also forget that Auburn is about to get relief in our strength of schedule relative to the other members.

Auburn has had to play BY FAR the toughest conference schedule over the past 15 years and it’s not even close to the 2nd hardest.

With more schedule rotations, the schedules are going to average our more even.

This means Auburn, Arkansas, and Tennessee will see their schedules ease up, while Kentucky, Vandy, and Georgia will see their schedules become drastically more difficult.

I'm not sure there's a school I fear less than Auburn at the current moment


The way that Longhorn fans have zeroed in on Auburn as their target in the SEC begs to differ.

It’s funny how fans of non- Big 6 schools always pick Auburn as the ones to try and replace. I get it, I really do, we’re the only non-state school in the Big 6, so we seem like the easiest target. Arkansad, USCjr, and aTm all walked into this conference with the same attitude. Why don’t you ask them how it’s worked out so far. Hell, Arkansad fans still harbor delusions about their place in the pecking order compared to Auburn, and the only thing they’ve gained from that is higher blood pressure and an absolutely feral hatred of Auburn despite the fact that we barely notice them.

Anyways, have a good time in the SEC you seem like the kind of guy who is prone to getting upset and worked up easily, so once the games start try and just remind yourself that it’s only a game being played by a bunch of teenagers at a school that you never went to. Hopefully that helps

Ah yes, my favorite tradition. Teams that annually get pounded on by Alabama and Georgia and then sit on their shoulders and act superior to teams from other leagues

What has Auburn done the last 2 years other than try to sweep a head coach's affair under the rug and lose to an AAC team?

This is so easy. I knew the Auburn academics were shite, but I didn't think it was THIS bad

If you think adding Texas and Okl. is going to drastically change the SEC, you are in for a rude awakening.
I... never... said that?

I asked why Auburn was considered a consistent contender for SEC titles in the OP, and the response was "they did this well 40 years ago"





except we have won two conference championships in the last 11 years......equal to UGA and LSU....but we are " sit on their shoulders".


Jut admit it.......you don't know a damn thing about the SEC. You are about to find out though. The ones you don't expect can beat you on any given Saturday.

Please keep judging Auburn's history from just the last two years.

So let me see if I can follow your logic here.

It doesn’t matter that the Texas Longhorns weren’t able to win the weakest P5 conference in their last nearly 15 years in said conference, all bc Auburn has lost to Bama and UGA in that same time frame? Never mind the fact that Auburn has won that conference and beaten those 2 teams more than or as much as any other team in the same timeframe??

Is that correct??

And then you responded with how great y'all were in the past. So I ALSO brought up the past. I have a feeling if you didn't go a school as shitty as Auburn this wouldn't be so difficult to comprehend...

Yes. Acting superior to the Big 12 when you won 2 games in the SEC last year, both against mediocre to plain bad teams, is sitting on someone else's shoulders.

Again - I do not think there is a single school out there that intimidates me less than the Auburn Tigers

You're getting there! I know you went to Auburn, so try to read reallllly slow so you can keep up.

That poster was complaining about me bringing up the past 40 years, despite the fact that he did so himself. That poster is also claiming that 2013 is somehow as relevant as 2022, which is plain comical.

Arkansas- They took advantage of a vey week Western division in 1995, 2002, and 2006 but were whipped in Atlanta by double digits all three times, by an average loss by 23 points. If Arkansas can’t win one in 30 years with just 12 teams and divisions, they aren’t likely to win one going forward.


2006 SECCG was not a whipping.

The other 2 were though. Those teams were like lsu this past year.

2006 the team was 7-1 in conference and had DMac and company and a muffed punt return for a Florida td turned the tide in that game.

This league is far superior to the Big 12. That's not acting. You are propping yourself up on the shoulders of Baylor, TCU, and Oklahoma. wow.

Actually, I never propped Texas up on anybody's shoulders...?

Also, Texas won 3 more games than Auburn last year despite having a much tougher schedule. Sorry facts hurt your brain, little one. Maybe if you went to a school better than Auburn you could, you know, use actual logic?

I am saying over the last 40 years, which is quite the time frame, Auburn has competed equal with one (LSU) and better than every other member not named alabama.

so you are touting having a better season than a team that fired their HC during the season? You had better get used to moral victories.
