Of course Alabama getting in the playoff this year was a bit Flukey
The only game yall lost was due in large part to an incredibly flukey play.

A fluke season that was only a fluke because of a bad fluke bounce.
Damn so many flukes.

And only a idiot can not see the trend in that list. That is why someone who does know football, should keep their mouth shut.
If you look at that cycle and follow SEC football you would see a four year cycle of a team peaking with Sr talent, followed by a drop off due to youth . As a result of that pattern, coaches were fired and that compounded the problem. Tubervile was a consistent 9 wins per year coach, but at the end he got lazy. Chizik panicked when Gus left and tried to retool the system. The coaching turnover has resulted in poor recruiting years , that caused the inconsistency . AUs success is not a fluke, but that helps UGA fans sleep at night.

It takes extraordinary circumstances for AU to rise above the 5+ loss seasons. Everyone but blind homers like you and Philip Marshall can see it.

Take a look at Tubervilles record dumbass , and post it. I know the Richt era has caused a major hemorrhoid on the UGA ego, but you are the worse.

Yes. 2012 was the fluke.

AU became the 5+ loss program yall are in his final season, so irrelevant. Your anger is making you look bad FYI. You need to deal with it and quit deflecting your pain with meaningless UGA insults.

Auburn Tigers (Southeastern Conference) (1999–2008)
1999 Auburn 5–6 2–6 5th (Western)
2000 Auburn 9–4 6–2 1st (Western)

Throw in 2010 10-0 and 2013 12-2, and your theory is fricked.
I knew you would come up with some excuse to backtrack your statement. I'm not mad, I just love watching UGA fans melt over their mediocrity, I have been watching it for over 30 years now.

You not understanding what a fluke is was bad enough, but now you struggle with understanding what an excuse is? Poor UGA reject.
BTW, I have accepted our role as one of the most consistent programs in the nation that never gets the breaks, but you and everyone else knows thats totally irrelevant to this thread.
From the very start, its been about why a 5+ loss program from Auburn Alabama has random championship flukes. The obvious issue is your lack of acceptance of this reality for AU, and your repetitive deflections from AU to UGA are evidence of your deep seated issues. Deep down you are afraid the last of your wishes have been granted already, and its 5+ losses from here on out.

Go back 30 years and show us the % of the time where AU lost 5 or more games. During that time AU has had 3 undefeated seasons, 7 SEC Championships, 2 National Championship Game Appearances, and 1 NC (2 if you want to claim 04). UGA has had 2 SEC Championships. My wishes must be stronger than yours, because UGA is a program that spins it wheels. Even a break wouldn't help it.

Alabama dominated Auburn throughout the 90s.

Bama had a predictable down period after Bear died and a self inflicted down period from 2000-2007. Auburn fans like to forget the 90s ever happened.
Auburn had plenty of self-inflicted shite happen to them in the 90's, squirt. Are you trying to revert to 2000's-level Bama fan hypocrisy? The 90's were about the only time in the rivalry's history that there was some true back and forth for a significant length of time, and not just a bunch of dominated periods.Posted on 2/24/16 at 11:20 pm to Irons Puppet
You still cant focus on AU in an AU thread. Some serious issues you got, and you need to deal with them for your own sake, so lets give you another shot:
We are talking about what AU has become since Tubs was walking the plank in 2008, not what yall used to be when he had his shite together. Granted wishes come and go, and you fear AU may have used all of theirs up in November of 2013.

Very well said

It's not a big time program and its competing with one of the top five in the nation. Auburn has a desire to be like Alabama and that is not a realistic goal. Auburn should be satisfied with beating us every now and then and winning the Natty once ever 50 years or so. It is what it is!

The fact that you and your ilk took 2013 and are still running with it says it all. Auburn probably would have beaten Bama in OT the way that it was going, and the only reason UGA was in a position to get fluked out of a win was because they lulled Auburn to sleep after being skull-dragged for 3 quarters. Can't believe it still gets to you.

True but my statement still applies. They can only get short term payoff, without developing real player confidence and knowledge because discipline on and off the field is somewhat lacking. Loyalty to a unified team would come if that happened. I agree with you, it is the fault of administration and coaches.

AU 2008-2015 "says it all":
- So many losses with 2 flukey seasons mixed in.
Thankfully you seem to be slightly more well adjusted to it than Iron is with his wounded ego. Maybe you werent one of those UGA rejects from ATL like he was.

When you consider AU has played for the National Championship twice since Tubs left, I would say they can maintain success. When it happens under two coaches and three years apart, shows it was not some fluky event.
I brought UGA into the conversation, because some want to proclaim that is the standard for maintaining success. I jump on Richt, blaming him for the fans low expectations. It is mistake on my part, UGA has actually underachieve since the end of the Dooley Era. They watched ever team around them win a Championship and became an afterthought to UF and UT until Richt's first Championship. He won two (which is the trophy case for UGA the last 30+ years).

Your understanding of the meaning of words is so bad and it explains so much. Just as "fluke" and "excuse" before, "Maintain" Doesnt mean what you think it does.
The combo 2010 and 2013 proves lightning can strike the same place twice. When that happens in nature, it's a fluke, just as it is in Cfb.
