2009

vs Louisiana Tech - Won 37 to 13
vs Mississippi State - Won 49-24
vs West Virginia - Won 41 to 30
vs Ball State - Won 54-30
vs Tennessee - Won 26-22

2010

vs Arkansas State - Won 52-26
@ Mississippi State - Won 17-14
vs Clemson - Won 27 to 24
vs South Carolina - Won 35 to 27
vs Louisiana Monroe - Won 52 to 3

2011

vs Utah State
vs Mississippi State
@ Clemson
vs Florida Atlantic
@ South Carolina

Where does the SEC Rant place our odds of doing this again? The chances are slim, but let's face it, they were slim in '09 and '10 also. Noone expected us to do it in either of those seasons.

I'll put the odds (or percentage, which is easier) at 30%...

The Palmetto State will not be kind to you this time around.


Though I will be rooting for AU hard against Clemson.

Doubt AU wins all 5, AU will be better later in the year once those young guys get some experience, I predict AU loses 2 of 3 between MSU, USCe, and Clemson. The other two are easy wins. Start out 3-2

That's the two I figure, but Clemson is possible loss too I'm just not sure how good they are supposed to be but I know Clemson should of beat them last year.

They are capable of winning any of those games, but I would expect them to drop at least one between MSU and SC.

ETA: I'll give them a 35% chance to start 5-0.

Gotta like having state at home early. i'll give that one to Auburn. Clemson can suck it. 2 gimme wins.

Coin flip in Columbia... but i'll take South Carolina. Auburn starts 4-1

I sort of didn't enjoy taking USC to the woodshed last year. There are many other teams that I would have been happy as hell about doing it to, but I like USC fans (for the most part) and they are my favorite underdog team in the SEC.

Clemson fans have been total asses to me in the past for no reason (wearing a hat with an AU logo i guess is blasphemy). I always liked Clemson before those assholes happened. Saw one good natured clemson fan in a thread a day or two ago. Hopefully there are many more of them than the other ones I have had experience with. I want to enjoy going to that game.

Is this including the impending NOA and suspensions to follow?

Yeah we fought our way back in it at the end of the half but after that hail mary the 2nd half was just a formality.


Quite frankly due to rarely ever playing each other and pre-Cam era I think the respect a lot of SECers had for AU fans that SC and AU fans got a long just fine (I know they did with the ones I ran into in '06) But I imagine if Spurrier gets the chance he will do everything in his power to return in the favor regardless of how small and the Gamecock fans will appreciate every last minute.

They're aren't. Again due entirely to the SECCG last year SC fans might be more hostile than usual and I pre-apologize for that.

Cheers. We both lost a lot, but I think we can pull it out.
