Please just stop with "woe is me" garbage.You guys were
4th in revenue and 2nd in expenses... This was from a couple of years ago.You also have the richest man in state supporting the program amongst other sugar daddies.

We get a fraction of the press coverage that either UGA or Bama gets.


Are you saying you don't get equal coverage during the regular season from Birmingham and Mobile TV and Newspaers? Don't know why Auburn fans think they're entitled to any coverage by the AJC or any type of local Atlanta TV coverage.

We sit right in the middle between UGA and Bama.


So what?Perhaps no school has bigger geographic advantage when it comes to recruiting.1 1/2 hours away from metro Atlanta,3 hours away from Florida and locaTed in a top 10 recruiting state.

Lastly and MOST importantly you have an administration thats willing to do amd spend whatever it takes to win games and championships.

If you don't think Gus is a good coach how do you explain the 2 wins over Saban the SEC Championship and him winning the WEST 2 times in just 5 years? Do you think the Auburn program is just so talent rich that the talent overcomes Gus's coaching?

Kick 6, Saban coaching brain farts in 2013 IB, AU O-lineman consistently downfield illegally, Jalen’s arm...

I think that covers everything.

No woe-is-me here....merely stating that we do more with less natural advantages than either UGA or Bama. At least Bama has capitalized. You pudwhackers haven't done shite while playing in a piss poor East.

Look at the press credentials requested by media of the 3 schools and get back to me.

What?So you some how know this about "most Georgia fans" because of your own little world.

The simple reason you "hate" UGA fans is because you live in this state and somehow feel slighted that Auburn isn't talked about or cared about by the locals.
Sorry if we can't provide a safe space so you where you
can cuddle with fellow like minded Aubbies.

employees we have who went to UGA almost need a 'retrain' to let them know that no one owes them a goddamn thing


You sound like a bitter,angry old man that probably has bigger issues other than UGA hatred.

Not what you said originally.

We do more with less than any program in college football.


This is simply not true.AU is a top 10 to 15 school in terms of revenue,revenue spent,attendance,facilities and have one of the best locations for recruiting in the country.

Once again,you have an administration that'll do and spend whatever it takes to win games.That didnt happen at UGA until 3 years ago...it's a huge part of the equation.

Then why do you have one fifth the number of NCs over the last nine years than Bama with only 16% less 4 and 5 star athletes?

Gus' teams are like a really sweet older muscle car. Every now and then all the parts work together at the same time and the thing really screams down the track. But much of the time, one part or another isn't funtioning properly and the car inexplicably breaks down. She's always a beaut to look at and when she's running on all 8, watch out.


This is actually a pretty realistic and accurate post.

I am curious, though. Why do you think a part breaks down, or does not work properly? Normally things like this indicate that a system is too complicated, but I don't honestly think this is the case with Auburn's offense.

It seems odd. Gus came in as an offensive mind, and he knows his offense inside and out. But the last couple of years the defense has shined while the offense has struggled.

BTW, I am not trolling and don't mean to criticize with my post. I am just curious why you, or other Auburn fans, think his offense struggles sometimes.

Yet he has a losing record vs LSU, UGA, Bama and Clemson. Does he have a winning record against anyone that's worth a damn?

I’m certainly not a Gus fan. Gus has lost to two miserable Georgia teams and to a lowly LSU team though. Anybody is capable of tripping up Gus.

Gus fans don't need help making excuses for him

Well, this isn't true. You have the exact same advantages as Alabama except history, and at one time you were even there, too. You can't say Alabama has an advantage because of history, because they created that history.

As for Georgia? You are right on the line of Alabama and Georgia. We should have a slight advantage in Georgia, but you should have a huge advantage in signing Alabama talent.

You guys look for any excuse to make you feel better.

Doesn't make it any less rare.
I mean, a poster in this thread gave the frequency it happens and it is extremely rare.

What excuses? Is saying that Gus can lose to anybody whether they’re “worth a damn” or not an excuse?

Depends on what “worth a damn” means...
