You woke up this morning thinking about Alabama and proceeded to write a long, rambling post about Alabama.

Yup, so begins the long slide to Div 2 for the once vaunted Bama. /sarc

This is still phase 1 too. It will only get more entertaining going forward.

Phase 2 - recruiting starts to slide, no more benefit of the doubt (based on the “eye test”) when it comes to playoff inclusion, cries to fire DeBear increase.

Phase 3 - DeBear fired, Saban ain’t coming back, HC like Dabo is best option, no playoff for second year.

Recruiting hasn't slid yet, no playoffs last year either. This a 10 year plan?

Must be pretty bad to have one of your longest losing streaks to Alabama during their decline


Auburn fans acknowledge we hired the wrong guy twice after Malzahn, so we can recognize a bad fit.

Seems like an overreaction imho. Only 4 teams made it farther than Bama this season.

If 10 win season and playoffs is our new reality, please continue to enjoy your lack of relevance in CFB. AU program currently could not win a g6 title.

The shine is completely off of your football program and the steep decline is now openly announced on air by Herbstreit and Chris Fowler.

You're never returning to the old days where you could pay more than everyone else and hoard players on rosters for 4-5 seasons. NIL and the transfer portal ended any possibility of a return to what you grew accustomed to with a football program.

They lost the best head coach of all time.

They had many years of rightly expecting to win every game they played in.

Adjustments to new less successful realities are difficult.

Alabama fans have always been on average pretty nice and respectful.

Wish you guys the best going forward.

However, I can take comfort in the fact that I have never relied on another team's losses to enjoy a season.

If THAT is what it means to be an Auburn fan then I thank all the powers in the universe that I was never afflicted with THAT curse.


We are so fricking back

Bama football suffer until Deboer is let go. He is not man enough to be the Bama coach. He is the anti-Saban.
