Their whole season revolves around winning the Iron Bowl.


Their entire reason for bringing in Jackson Arnold was because he beat Bama. Everyone who knew ball knew he was not very good.
With Penn State and Florida, and potentially LSU, FSU, and Clemson, looking for a coach, I would bet that Auburn gives Freeze another year. They would be way down the list for potential coach hires and would have a tough time finding a good one to come.
I hate everything about Auburn….except this! Nicely done!!

Ty Simpson who had one of the best halves of football I’ve seen in sometime from a Bama QB as a passer.


Maybe the best since Brodie Croyle against Florida?

Areas for improvement:

Edge containment against the run

Not completely throttling back on offense late in the game

Getting Ryan back to being unstoppable

Tightening up field goal kicking (what the heck was that last kick???)
Schoola really need to get that under control. It is going to take someone getting seriously injured for then to out an end to the field rush though.

Dressed like harlots. Every bama fan we encountered commented on it. The difference between the Bama fan and FSU fan was stark.
It felt like a mid tier ACC school stadium.
Couple of other thoughts:

Frat houses and campus reminded me of West Virginia. Very trashy and litter everywhere.

We went to one tailgate in a parking lot outside of stadium. Different vibe than I was used to and super crowded.

Doak Campbell gameday experience

Thoughts about the post of Bama aside, the gameday experience was horrendous.

The entry into the game was awful and unorganized. There was so many people trying to funnel in and it reminded me of the Travis Scott disaster. It took forever and if you were claustrophobic, you might have had a panic attack.

The planting of the spear was okay but not as cool as I would have thought. Burt Kreisher was decent.

The concessions were completely unorganized. I waited in line for 20 minutes and no water was left when I got to the front. This was in the 1st quarter.

Then I was stuck in line for half of the 3rd quarter and got to the front just as the 4th quarter was starting (4 or 5 lines were funneling in to 2 cash registers). Since it was the 4th quarter, they stopped selling alcohol.

The stadium on my side was not nice at all - but I think the other side has been renovated.
I think he was saying you’ve gotta do it.
This is usually the stuff that they start writing before a deep collapse
He’s not wrong. They had some really good defenses back then.

Sweatshirts from 90s

Am I misremembering that we used to have sweatshirts that would get printed up after big games that would have the score and some type of graphic (an elephant choking a bulldog or something like that)?

I was trying to find some online and didn’t have any luck.

Very dumb.

Who has more red-headed fans?

Notre Dame or Auburn?
You are correct. It’s the highest we’ve seen since Saban retired.
