I get it we suck
But so do you
What have you done this season to make you think you stand a chance against Bama at home?

Upsets like this happen often. I don't really see it but if they're healthy enough I wouldn't think auburn fans would expect to have no chance.

Auburn does not go into the iron bowl with a loser mentality. That just isn't who they are. They will throw the kitchen sink at Bama, I promise you. That being said, the stats say in recent history(30years) that the team that is favored in the iron bowl usually wins. This whole theory of "throw the records out in this rivalry", doesn't really hold any water.

Because its the Iron Bowl and crazy things have happened in recent years.

They have a good D-line, our O-line isnt the greatest when 100% healthy, and there are questions about C-Rob's health due to him getting injured on Saturday. Hurts looked terrible last week and could very well struggle to pass the ball again this week.

It's not out of the question that this game could be much closer than the betting lines suggest.

If Kiffin tries to get too cute and call a ton of bubble screens and 3 yard passes, it could be a long day for the Bama offense.

Who is confident? Our starting QB is likely out and our best running back and leading blocker MAY play.

We have one of the better defenses in the SEC and we were leading the country in rushing again, but that was before we lost our entire backfield to injury.

Because Auburn is one of Bama true rivals, Their players know how to get up for the game, they know that the record of the teams don't matter.

That doesn't make sense? A loser mentality would imply that Auburn would roll over in this game. Maybe you mean nothing to lose? Would a winning mentality be to play it safe, for posterity?

So if you won the turnover battle 3-0, then you probably win the game. This is why they play the game. Both defenses alone are good enough to swing the game with turnovers or scores.

Auburn can punt it 12 yards and Bama can't kick an 18 yard field goal. Specials teams should be fun too!

It's called mutual respect. That doesn't necessarily extend to some of our other opponents.

I think you made this up. Haven't seen any confident Auburn fans. Maybe a few optimistic. And a handful of usual trolls.

Since when has a real rivalry been about respect. Nothing fun about that
I guarantee Michigan and Ohio State aren't sucking each other off right now
Which is why that rivalry will always be bigger and better

You seem to be obsessed with sucking somebody off. Fans of teams without any real rivalries just wouldn't understand.

Your team doesn't seem to have a real rival either though
