Yall had two of the best ever for many decades and only lead the rivalry by 13. That is pretty sad.

If that is sad, I'll take sad any day. What I'm hearing is that Alabama was able to attract not one, but TWO of the best coaches in history to coach them. I can live with that.

A reasonable one could even say the results have been middle of the road since home and home was started. Mediocre

Put the two together with their records at Alabama and tell me it is “middle of the road “.

Everyone can selectively choose a timeframe to make themselves feel better. However, when you look at the entirety of the Alabama/Auburn and Georgia/Auburn history there is one team that absolutely screams mediocre...

Interesting that your argument here seems to PROVE my position that Gus should never have been let go by auburn.

So basically you are selectively choosing the Gus, post Gus timeframe to say this

WTF? Gus didn't coach at auburn for all of auburn's history. Might want to look up the definition of "entirety" and "history".

If you can't win the argument with facts, use ridicule and personal attacks..

Georgia leads by 6, and has won 10 since Gus took over.

Cool. Gus wasn't there for 10 years, so you can't blame MANY of those years on Gus. How long was he the head coach at Auburn? He can be blamed for those years only. My point was that auburn has a losing record against Georgia AND Alabama. Total, all of the years they have played, auburn has a losing record against BOTH. It SCREAMS mediocre to have a losing record against BOTH of your biggest rivals.

Gus was 2-7 against Georgia. And the average margin of victory in those games have to be Georgia by three touchdowns. Your mediocre Gus is probably when Georgia took the lead. Sure Chizik is responsible too. Anybody post 2006 is responsible.

Now do Alabama.

Tell you what, I'll book mark this. In a couple years and auburn's paying freeze not to coach, you can apologize. Deal? Hope you have a Happy New Year.

Bama fans are so witty. Freeze could be wrong for the job and you would still be wrong. Gus was not the best at Auburn. Tuberville once went undefeated, had more 9, 10, and 11 win seasons than Gus, and went 7-2 against Bama.

Go!

Basically, no matter what you are NEVER going to admit you're wrong. Got it. That's so "millennial" of you.

I've got relatives that voted for biden and against Trump, yet they aren't will to admit to being wrong. Even though they are living at home with mommy and daddy because their feel-good-ism degrees don't pay enough to support them in the current economy. They would DIE before admitting that things were better under Trump.

No, as I stated Auburn won 6 out of 8 during that stretch.

Bama fans like to reinvent history by pretending that only once in the rivalry’s history did Auburn have the upper hand and it was only due to probation. That’s not true.

Auburn led the series 7-4-1 prior to it being halted in 1907. When the series started back up in 1948, Auburn won 6 out of the first 11 matchups, up through 1958… including 1957 when we brought home to the state the first ever National Title Trophy won on the field and not claimed retroactively half a century later.

From 1893-1958, Auburn led the series 13-9-1
From 1982-2023, Alabama leads the series 22-20.

These two time periods account for 74% of all the games played during the series.

The only real anomaly was 1959-1981, when Bama went 19-4 during a 23-year period. Aside from that era, the series between Auburn and Alabama has always been close and the records against each other pretty much dead even.

So you cherry pick a few dates and leave out ones that don't support your position? Do you work for CNN? Historically you have a losing record against both your Rivals. BOTH of them.

If we only look at the 50 years that Alabama beat Auburn, then Bama leads 50 - 0.

There is no metric that shows Gus had more success. You are simply making stuff up. That's mighty boomer of you.

Speaking of "metrics" there is NO metric that show's auburn to be anything other than a mid-tier, mediocre, football program.
