Its not that way anymore because there hasn't been much to get loud about. Auburn starts doing better and winning more, it will be like that again.

I don't like A&M. A&M lost to Notre Dame bringing nothing but shame.


We lost to a team ranked higher Georgia. Oh the shame! What does that say about Georgia?

How so?

We lose when we play bad. CAL/ARK
We lose when we play ok. UGA
We snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Mizzou/Oklahoma

We will not beat A&M or Alabama.

They're really not tho. They've played one ranked team so far this year. Up to this point, they've probably played the easiest schedule in the SEC & managed one win.

Yes and no. I think most people would look at a team likely to finish 4-8 and go "wow they suck." Fair enough. We earned it.

If you look at the losses, they probably appear more competitive than someone would expect for a 4-8 team. Many/most of them appear like at any moment, with a lucky bounce or a little bit of offensive production, we could have/should have snuck out a W.

But eventually, when you keep getting into that position and you keep failing to capitalize - are you really better than your record?

If I had to describe how an AU person feels about AU this year, it's like if A&M is up 17-13 in the 4th in front of a loud JHS crowd, and yet the ESPN real-time prediction thing has A&M with a 98% percent chance to win.

When they're down is when they're dangerous. Never take AU for granted.

I don't expect to see another New Mexico St. game Saturday. AU will be ready and it should be one of the best games of the day (jmho).

For the most part the team record doesn’t really do justice how good of a team a “bad” team in the SEC is! There are no easy games this year (minus MSU)


Yeah, the "bad" teams are still usually filled with 4 star recruits and can easily pull a game or two out of their hat where they play like a Top10 team.

Can't the same be said about the Lone Star Showdown? Both teams are in danger of looking ahead.


I wouldn't know nothin' bout that.
