I miss our games as well. One of the most exciting SEC games of the 1980s and 90s, and even in the 2000s.

My pastor here in Mobile is a huge Gator fan. Represents you guys very well, but his sermons are much more "fire and brimstone" when you lose. Obviously rooting for my Tigers, but will look forward to a nice happy sermon if you win. :)

Rooting for the winner of our game in the title game, regardless of who wins. War Eagle!

Auburn got very close in 1998. Got to number 2. That was a great team under Cliff Ellis.

This is one of the biggest BS statements I have seen on the Rant. You make Bama fans look bad with this kind of statement. Pompous and wrong. All because you didn't want to cede a point from the poster that your "little brother" is having a good year in state for now.

Silly.

But then you wouldn't have had the Kick Six. I know you are a Bama fan and on the losing end, but that was one of the greatest moments in College Football. :nana:

My Tigers are going to be tough to watch this year. AU is going to be up and down all year--you just don't know what will happen any given Saturday.

I think Auburn matches well with Arkansas, so I'm picking a win this weekend, but it will probably be ugly.

Really going to miss the Auburn/LSU game. There have been some pretty memorable ones in the past 30 years. But I am happy that we will get to play Florida and Tennessee a bit more frequently. I went to Auburn in the 1980s when we played both every year (I think!).

Auburn had two of the greatest back to back. Jim Fyffe and Rod Bramblett. Go back and listen to Rod's commentary at the end of the Iron Bowl 2013 and you'll get chills, unless you are a Bama fan. Both were 100% Auburn homers, kind of like Larry Munson for Georgia, and their love of Auburn showed in everything they did.

Rod had a hard time filling Jim's shoes, but he found his voice eventually. Miss them both. Our current guy is just OK, but I'm giving him time to grow into the role.

First game was Auburn/Ole Miss in 1985. Got to watch Bo Jackson at his finest.

Best SEC Game I saw in person was Auburn/LSU in 1997 in Baton Rouge. Cecil Collins ran for about 1 million yards, but somehow Auburn stayed in the game, and then LSU decided to pass on fourth and 2 with about a minute left and the TE dropped the ball. And then Auburn scored a TD in the last minute. Been to more memorable games, including 2013 AU Georgia and many Iron Bowls, but that one was just a damn good ball game between two good teams that really wanted to win.

Worst SEC game was Auburn/Arkansas in 2012. Watched our QB go back in the pocket on a play and the OL gave him about 11 or 12 seconds to throw the ball. And he just looked downfield and took the sack. Defense quit after that play, and in reality our season was over.

That's twice from LSU fans today. Got on the elevator at my office with an LSU guy in full LSU gear. Told him "Well I guess I should say War Eagle," and he literally turned to me and said "F*** Auburn." I'm an old guy, so I just laughed. But he was probably early 20s and looked like he was ready to fight...

I am going to miss this game when we don't get to play you every year.

I'm in my 50s, so I'm a little more old school about football, and a good defensive battle is fun to watch for me. Both these teams were going after each other in the first half. Watching it break open on offense in the second half was fun as well. So from an objective standpoint, I thought it was a good game to watch. Better than all the NC blowouts from the past 10 years, so Top 3 at least.

Only bad thing about the game is that I'm an Auburn fan, and I wanted both teams to lose. :) Congratulations on your title. I know you guys are happy to have that monkey off your back.
