I have no idea how to post a link because I'm old. But I would highly recommend all AU and LSU fans go watch that interview of Alex McPherson by the NBA commentators on ESPN, specifically Shaq and Barkley. Barkley has known this kid for years, so it was fun watching them interact, but Shaq's part of the interview (as a hardcore LSU guy) was hilarious. Basically said he loved the kid and his story, but that he hoped with all his might that he missed every field goal on Saturday.

Just a fun interview of a good kid. Looking forward to Saturday and hope Alex has a repeat!

1997 in your place was a pretty awesome game. Cecil the Diesel Collins ran for what seemed like 1000 yards, but Dameyune Craig put our offense on his back and kept us in it. You guys decided to throw the ball on a fourth and two to put the game away, gave us the ball back, and we scored. Heck of a game against two solid teams. AU went to the SEC championship and lost by one to Tennessee that year.

I was there in 1994 and 1996. Interception game was the craziest game I ever saw personally. Cannot tell you how scary it was to see flames coming over the top of the endzone in 1996.

Too early to say Auburn fans are confident. We are a bit of a broken fanbase because of the last five years. Fair to say that we are hopeful and we are beginning to believe. And as a whole, most of us (especially us older fans) are very excited about playing the Gators (one of my favorite games and I miss the rivalry).

I do think this one is a tossup. New coaches for both teams, both of them with a lot of potential but still installing their programs. We both need to be patient after the last few years.

Hoping for a great game and a good season for both of our teams. Just hasn't seemed right in the SEC the last few years with both our teams down. War Eagle!

Auburn Tennessee game in 1990 was a tie, and it was an awesome game. I was a sophomore at Auburn then, and I remember that Auburn came back from two or three TDs down to tie it up. Tennessee had us on the ropes for most of the game, so the comeback was pretty awesome.

AUFANATL, you must be a young pup. I've always loved playing a tough schedule. You will have to go look up our 1983 football schedule sometime. It was absurd, but we went 11-1. Only team we lost to was a top 5 Texas team, in like week three.

I like playing the best teams. I would take Florida, LSU, and Tennessee back, along with Bama and Georgia, every year in football, in a heartbeat. Just makes the good seasons that much more magical!

Luckily for us, baseball doesn't penalize tough schedules--it rewards them. Our very young team should be battle hardened and ready to win in the postseason. War Eagle!

Deboer is a good coach, but those shoes are not fillable. This is what happens when a legend retires. As an AU fan, I'm happy Saban is gone, but I have to acknowledge the likelihood that Bama will eventually find another great coach. May take a little time (a/k/a the 90s), but they will figure it out.

Bigger problem is the NIL situation. Both our Alabama universities are going to have to fight through this and adapt. In reality, any team not located in Texas is going to have to figure out a way to win with less talent.

Great post and thank you for taking the time! I was at that 1992 game. 19 second ticked off the clock on that last play. I'm pretty sure when all 11 of your defensive players were finally on the ground that the coaches sent some extras in there to jump on the pile. :)

That was back in the day that the visitor's tunnel went directly under the student section. On behalf of all Auburn students in 1992, I apologize for the sheer amount of coke and bourbon that was thrown at and onto your Georgia Bulldogs as they left the stadium (although they were egging it on a bit!).

Looking forward to hopefully a good game this weekend. We haven't posed much of a threat to you guys recently, but this is a good defense and I am hopeful that the Tigers worked out their offensive kinks in the bye week.

14 point swing on blatantly bad calls. Seventeen if you count the three points you got after they called back the scoop and score. You guys didn't win the game. It was given to you. Keep believing otherwise Sooner.

Oh, and classy cheers by your fans. Nothing better than telling a 20 year old kid to go F himself.

Hopeful but realistic. Auburn is improving, but this is a good OK team. My prediction based on how we performed the first three games is that Auburn will probably score somewhere in the 20s, and the key to victory will be whether our defense can hold in the fourth quarter. We will see!

Only the most oblivious Bama fans thought Deboer (or really any other coach they hired) could have even come close to filling Saban's shoes. Season ain't over yet, and Deboer is a decent coach and y'all have plenty of talent. But he isn't Saban. Nobody is.
