Paywalled but TT is certainly improving all around and it’s nice to have a billionaire help with it. It’s not good for CFB however because you become a league of haves/havenots
At least for football, the SEC has had a caste system of haves vs have nots for decades. I think the last non-Big 6 team to even share a championship in football was Kentucky back in the 70s.

It’s more of my lack of confidence and knowledge of Auburns team.

I’m confused. Why would you think OU wins by 2 scores if you admittedly lack knowledge of their opponent?
It’s the beauty of the Rant — entertaining and mind-numbingly stupid, all in the same post.

Honest question why do the call Auburn the plains? It cant believe like the Great plains of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska so what gives?
If it really is an honest question, it’s from the Oliver Goldsmith poem The Deserted Village:
Sweet Auburn! loveliest village of the plain, ... Where crouching tigers wait their hapless prey,

You get Texas, Georgia, Florida, A&M, Tennessee and Ole Miss in the SEC
Also @Arky and @Mizzou. State will be the underdog in every SEC game. I’m guessing the O/U win total is 3.
Poor State. I mean, that’s just cruel.

it has to be Auburn. The only program to do less with more is A&M but that is a tradition there.
If this is your metric — doing less with more — Auburn is behind aTm, Gata, and Vawls by a wide margin.
The Big 6 is an objective thing.
Vawls won the SECC/Natty in 98. The number of Vawls appearances in SECC game since then — 0. Auburn has 4 since then, with 2 wins (plus a natty).
Gata last won the SECC/Natty in 2008. Auburn has 2 SECC wins since then + a Natty (and another appearance in the NCG).
Just because aTm has always underperformed doesn’t meant it isn’t still being mismanaged. Its entry into the SEC was its entre to stepping out of UT’s shadows and flourishing. It has flirted with exactly 1 SECCG appearance in 12 years.
Has Auburn been mismanaged in recent years? Yes. The Most? Not even close.

Auburn start time 9 pm sat?
9pmE on Friday, not Saturday.

whereas, starting at 8:00 in June for a game in the south is a break for the fans attending the game.
Which would make sense until you see that the Sat start in Red Stick is 1pmC.

So the Corvallis super is a 5pm C first pitch on Friday, and the Auburn super is 8pm C first pitch. Make. It. Make. Sense.

quote:3. Auburn How do you see that with them only being 16-14 in the SEC?
Well, except for the fact AU finished 17-13.
And it It’s the series wins over also-top 8s Vandy and LSU (sweep) and probable hosts Tenner, bammer and ACC champ Ga Tech (2 games OOC).
According to BA, AU is 15-12 against current top 25. While I have no issue with saying they are the SEC’s lowest national seed team this year, AU’s 27 games against current top 25 is more than coastal (5), Oregon (7) and UNC (11) combined.

Why are Auburn fans posting on here about baseball all of a sudden? Did I miss something?
Apparently, you missed this season.

And if they were all hooked up to a polygraph machine with a gun to their head if they told a lie....they'd all pick Herschel, and so would you.
Nah. I saw Herschel and Bo both play, including H2H. I would still take Bo. I’m sure you would still take Herschel. Fine by me.

UVA as a 3 seed? Do not want.

Added these to the OP.
Isn’t it a better way to look at this that you take away the wins against Mizzou and SoCar but have to keep the losses?

Dude, we might sweep in national seed today. We were a blown lead away from winning the series at Texas. We beat Tennessee. Those are the best teams we’ve played all season.
Aubie sez hey.

but other than that we rarely even think of Auburn
Does anyone think about Ole Miss? I doubt the hotel reservation clerks in Atlanta do.

For UF I would go: 1. UGA 2. Auburn 3. South Carolina
From your lips to God’s ears, but I’m afraid that AU/UF as an annually game will never be resurrected.
Having Ala/uga/UF as AU’s 3 perms would be awesome. Hard as hell, but Auburn is at its best when it’s playing these 3 every year.
