Maybe we will have another game like WVU in? That would be fantastic.

There is something poetic about tstorms during the IB considering the last 12 months.

Auburn will have to pull all kinds of crazy shite to stay in the game, so the bad weather, along with everything else, favors alabama

Bad weather favors a lot of rushing, which cuts down on the number of plays the gumps have to score.

This game will be stress free for me. I know we will be face fricked worse than a sasha gray audition marathon..

The pressure is all on the Gump City grundle gomers ...
They should win by at least 35...if they don't they fail imo

When was the last true upset for Bama in the IB?


Well, to be fair, when you are favored more often than not your opportunities for "true upsets" are limited.

But, if you must know, it was 2001. Bama was 4-5 going into that game and AU was 7-2 (both teams had a game to make up after Sept. 11th)

No expectations for me right now. But somehow around 2:15, I'll be sitting in JHS thinking we are going to win

Or 19, but if you think you are better at assigning point spread than Vegas is I'll gladly take AU to cover the 35 if you are willing to take bets.

Black Saturday. Auburn was moving the ball down the field on the first series until Caddy broke his collarbone

Vegas also had UGA at -12 over AU I think. They underestimate the suckage of this team.

Perhaps they do, but that was a road game. This is AU at home against its biggest rival with a chance to knock them out of the National Title hunt. Your staff will have them ready to play. No way Bama wins by 35 as the other poster (jokingly, I think) said.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, we are going to win. JHS is going to be rocking and we have our best game of the season.

AU is going to need a great game from special teams and a few gift turnovers to even keep this game close.

Bama will run at will on us. And then kill us with a couple of play action passes. Our defense is the easiest team I have ever seen to game plan against.

I know bama wins by 35+ because after the first 2 series of Dyer running for 1-3 Yards every first down, followed by a shitty out route to mccaleb followed by a 3rd down quick throw away to the sidelines or sack...well it just gets pretty damn predictable...to think that it'll change in a week is naive..

It will be ugly. Early and often. Bama 45 AU 10

I believe this is a great opportunity for Auburn this weekend. On the road, we would lose by 30, but at home we have a chance to pull the upset. We need Bama to help us, maybe they will spot us 24. Bama is better on offense and defense, but special teams and turnovers give us a chance.
