I was counting all your other records vs. years and completely brain farted on the SECC.

Blaming it on the beer.

Nope. You were the one guaranteeing he was going to Auburn.

Thank God for Google. Prove yourself correct.

I wasn't Googling. I was going back through your post history. I had to go back over 350 pages!

Ok. I am here to eat crow. I can't find it. Honestly, I am still 99% positive it was you saying Thompson was going to Auburn, then when called on it said you were only trolling.

However....I can't find the posts, and if I am going to claim you said something, then I should be able to provide a link or admit I can't find them.

I am here to apologize and say that I can't find the quotes, as I said.

Believe me, it would be a very, VERY easy mistake to make. I couldn't believe my luck when you tried to call me on it, because I knew I had a gotcha moment!

Hey, you gotta take 'em when you can get 'em!

Well it wasn’t. I think it was jrljr that predicted it. Making guarantees isn’t my thing and I have never claimed to have sources.

DUDE! You are right! It was jrljr. man. now I have to really, really double dog dare apologize!

I'm sorry. Sincerely. I was wrong, and you were right.
Crap. I try to be careful, but I should make sure beofre leveling an accusation. If you bring it up in another thread (What I did) to shame me, I won't fight about it, and will admit it. I deserve to ne shamed.

Again...I apologize.

Your AD never put it up for a vote. Now that you have a new AD ask him to start lobbying the 12 other schools to vote to move the University of Auburn to the East. It’s a very simple process


Not when the other schools line up to say "YASSAH BOSS!" to whatever Bama says.

Call me when the rest of the SEC has spine enough to compete with Bama along with Auburn about *anything*.

I'll wait.

Auburn still has a commanding lead in the series.


Since Auburn bought their first NC in 1957 (On probation for buying players), they have a record of 26-24 over Florida. Hardly a "commanding" lead.

I said “series” lead. Not “insert subjective cherry picked stat here.”

It is ironic that we were using the last 5 years of mediocre Florida football to explain why Auburn has won 4 of the last 5 even though Auburn isn't playing Florida every season...but when an uga fan wants to trumpet around winning 4 of the last 7 they leave out Florida being mediocre in the last 5 years.

Since uga fans have trouble understanding data points being static...here is a reminder that matters.

Since 1980 uga has been selected National Champion 1 time.

Since 1980 Auburn has been selected National Champion 4 times. Perhaps more impressive is Auburn has done this in 1983, 1993, 2004 and 2010 which shows it was never a run with a special collection of talent.

In the same window of time both teams have qualified for and lost a title in the final seconds.

We tried but Mizzou cried and bitched because y'all are scared to go to the West.

Auburn can go to the east whenever they like. Don't blame this on Bama. You would lose the iron bowl because we will not bow to your wishes and lose one of our biggest games with Tennessee. Auburn has to have the iron bowl or they would have moved by now. Bama hasn't blocked shite other than telling auburn u won't be our perm crossover. Auburn will pay for the shite talking u did after u got the iron bowl moved to auburn. Myself and lots, lots,lots of Bama fans I know would never let u have florida back at the expense of our Tennessee game. U can go anytime u want, anytime. Please go. We can't wait to see u try to support that program without us coming there every other year and helping u sell out your season tix.

Auburn wants to be there. People fail to realize AU and UF have played as much as AU/UA. People act as if it's AU running away from Bama, but we're on record saying we want UA every year. Of course, UA fans counter they want UT most, and of course. They're a shell of their former selves. So AU wants UF, UGA, and UA every year, with LSU mixed in. Can't fathom how some say AU would make a move for an easier schedule.

Y'all just don't want to sacrifice an annual gimme Win vs Tennessee for a game that you could lose any given year. Its perfect for Bama. You lose your biggest threat, who's twice in the last 5 years beat an 11-0, #1 Bama in the final week of the regular season to take your spot in Atlanta. The Iron Bowl gets replaced with Mizzou who you'll beat by 40+ almost every year. Mizzou could play Bama annually and I'd be afraid it could take Mizzou decades to ever get a W in the series. And you still get to keep the other automatic annual W in Tennessee.

Give me a fricking break. We're approaching two decades since UT has been worth a frick. UA fans know it's a guaranteed win and you can rub their noses in it some more.

I'm beginning to think UA fans are prone to floating an easier schedule, winning, and calling themselves champions.
