I justed wanted to jump in and second the sentiments of some.

In the grand scheme of things, football is merely trivial. Let's not forget about the sacrifices of those that have fought, bled, and died for this country.

There are those in the left-wing media and within the democratic party that have attempted to villainize our men in uniform. Classic Stockholm Syndrome seems to be the fad with these people. Let's not forget where we came from, and how we got here. If it wasn't for those sacrifices, we could not bank on being free(or taunt Bammers) for ever.

Thank a Veteran. It'll be worth it.

Yep, I am totally stoaked for next season. MattCo is one of my best buds, and he and I chat about the status of our beloved school almost on a daily basis. I haven't been this excited about an upcoming season in YEARS. Except 2004- I saw that coming from a mile away.

Anyways, I digress...

Auburn, by all accounts, looks to be headed in a really good direction. I am excited about the Coleman's deciding to play together for one year!(Hey! At least, it's one year) And, what's funny, I know we will lose 4-5 games. But, I feel a real change coming on and that is so important to our school and our athletic program. I, for one, actually believe that there is a method to the madness that we call Jay Jacobs. If, things keep heading in the direction they seem to be, We may be kissing the man's hind-end real soon. Anyways....

I am sorry to those of you Tuberville fans that can't seem to get past his dismissal. It was for the best. And, with time, you will all see that! WDE

P.S. Any of you get a major kick out of Bammers fall from grace? I did! And, as I said before, TWELVE WINS....NO SEC TITLE.....STILL NO BCS WIN.....

EVEN THE "COW COLLEGE" HAS ONE OF THOSE!!!!

WDE!!!!

I have been rather silent in the last few days, as I have tried to get a better idea of what it is Auburn's leaders have been doing.

Yes, I wanted Tubs out. He seemed to have lost the fire that made him one of the top 15 coaches in America.

But, this is ridiculous! If Chizik is hired, everyone in the Auburn family will know how I felt the day that John McCain sprinted ahead in the primaries over much better opponents.(Sorry, only analogy I knew)

This could be utterly tragic to say the least. And, I agree with other's sentiments. If Chizik is hired I will write letters to the BOT, President Gouge, and others. This is a prank that seems to have gone very, very wrong.

Please, don't hire Gene Chizik. He will never succeed here. Why not listen to the voices of the faithful? Have we learned nothing from our enemies across the state?

Hire the BEST man for the job! And do it now!!!!!

Yes, 2008 was without a doubt the most dismal season I  have ever experience as an Auburn fan. What about 1998 you ask? Hey! We scored 17 against Alabama in that year! That's a lot better than this bunch mustered.

What happened? Where did the pride and love for Auburn go? It's not just the coaching staff, it's the players too! Yes, I know you're tired of losing Antonio Coleman, but what are you doing to fix it? Running to the NFL early? To suffer the same setback as Stanley McGlover?

I mean really, what happened here? Auburn has been in a steady decline since the 2004 season. It's simple math. We have nowhere the talent that that team had. What are the reasons? Who is to blame for this slide into mediocrity?

All of you who have read my posts know that I have a love-hate thing for Tommy Tuberville. And, that I question a LOT of things that he does. But, ENOUGH is ENOUGH!

This season was absolutely humiliating. Even in 1999, Tubs pulled off signature wins against LSU and Georgia. This year? NADA. Our biggest win was against a VERY, VERY bad Tennessee team. Who, quite frankly, would have beaten us if we had played them later on in the year.

Where do we go from here? What do we, as Auburn fans, do? Well, there's not a whole lot that we can do. I have no clout withe BOT, and I am sure that most of you do not either. A change is necessary. Even lowly Mississippi State has seen the light and is making stride to change their proram's direction.

And, don't tell me I am not a true fan because of one bad year! Has it been just ONE bad year? What about last year? We lost four and very well should have lost more. Is that acceptable? If you like mediocrity and standing in a circle and singing' " We are the World" - then yes, it's acceptable.

But, it's not okay with me. I have watched Alabama go from doormat to setting the standard in the SEC in really just one year's time. How did they do it? Their players bought into it. They  are resigned to believing in their coach and to following his direction. Do you see that at Auburn? I have never seen a year when tackling was this bad, or offensive players were so undercoached that they couldn't run more than a dozen plays for fear of total chaos!

Well, in the words of Tommy Lee Jones in "The Fugitive", "Well shit sheriff", these players have no direction and seem totally complacent in their mediocrity. How is this? What would cause this? Could it be that their coach left them hanging in limbo while he threw his name into the hat of every possible coaching opening in College Football? Could it be that he brought in an unstable OC that totally re-vamped and destroyed any semblence of offense we had? Or is it that the conditioning coach seems to have fallen asleep on the job? (We have to have the worst conditioning coach in Yox- I have never seen so many season ending ankle sprains and gingivitis in my life)

What do these kids have to play for? They know nothing of Auburn Pride or Spirit. They are as complacent and as lazy as the man that is leading them. Also included, are mountains of excuses that they have picked up from their coach.

So, what is the answer? Am I no longer  in the Auburn faithful because I long for the days when this program put their perverbial foots in the perverbial asses of everyone else in the SEC? I love Auburn, but this insanity and lack of discipline is exhausting.

Tommy, you did a fantastic job for 9 years. But, you became complacent in your job. You held a grudge against the Auburn family for something a handful of people conjured up.What did I do to make you hold a grudge for so long? Hell, one of the guys who was on that plane is dead.  It's time to pay the piper Tommy. Auburn has never seemed so miserable of a place to play football until here recently. I can't blame it on the BOT. You did this to yourself. You stopped coaching and became the banner carrier for excuse makers everywhere. You ran this thing into the ground. Now be a man and step aside. I won't let my love for my school cloud judgement here. It's time to go.

One one side- A team on the verge of collapse. On the other-A team that is steadily getting better and on the verge of a National Championship.  A beloved and embattled coach, possibly on his way out VS a coach that is already a legend in his fan's eyes.

If you thought I was talking about 1992, then you are correct. There are eerie similarities in the way this College Football season has progressed. It reminds me of 1992. Auburn had previously owned Alabama. In fact. Auburn had just come off of a 4 game win streak vs the Tide. The Tide faithful's lack of patience in Bill Curry led to his demise and the hiring of yet another legend in College Football-Gene Stallings. Alabama's powers that be lacked the patience to let Curry do his job-as did they with Mike Shula.

So, now here we are. Saban-you have to give credit where it is due-is a very good coach. But, what I'd like to point out as with Bill Curry-Mike Shula DID recruit well for Alabama. I get tired of the "He left the stable empty" excuse. He brought in Andre Smith, John Parker Wilson, Glenn Coffee, Roy Upchurch, and many many more. Yet, here we are. Auburn doesn't appear capable of winning but one more game this year. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Auburn, but if you think I'm giving us a chance against Georgia and Alabama-then you are wrong. I think that we will play well against Alabama, and perhaps lead for most of the game. But, in the end, I think that this Auburn team has given up. They have given up on our coach and most importantly they have given up on themselves. These last 4 games will be a test of the will and the competitve spirit of these young Auburn men. But, I think it's too late.

I, like all of you, never saw this coming and am totally confounded by this season. i don't really want Tubs to go, but you know he won't clean house on his staff. He won't bring in a new wide receivers coach, quarterback coach, offensive line coach, or special teams coach. So what do we do? I say that if he refuses to change certain personnel then he must go with them. I don't want him too, but he needs to listen to reason.

It's going to have taken Alabama less than 2 calendar years to get a shot at a title under Saban. They won't win it, but I like them to win the SEC, and play Texas for the national championship. And, that doesn't sit well with me. Tubs needs to reflect right now and decide if he really is an Auburn man. He needs to win back his team, and do it quickly. There is a slight chance that it could happen this year, but what Auburn needs is a player to step up and lead this team. Who that player is, I have no idea. But, I have faith that there is someone that will lead this team and help get us back on the right track.

We are down right now, and Alabama is flying high. Let's get it together and be the team that craps on Bama's perfect season on November 29th.

War Eagle

Four downs, Auburn had inside the five to score. Two relatively wide open receivers missed. One COMPLETELY wide open receiver missed.

Kodi Burns has tried all season to hijack the offense. With comments like: "I'm a big-time play maka" and "I am an NFL style quaata back", Burns shamelessly divided our offensive team and our coaching staff. Well, Saturday, against the SEC's worst defense, Burns got his shot. What did he do? He missed receiver after receiver. He purposely called his own number over twenty times.

In the game, Burns and Todd(not going to place all blame on "Superman") led Auburn on 57 plays for NEGATIVE YARDAGE. Coincidentally, Auburn is number one in the NATION in negative plays.

So, what should happen next? It is my unprofessional opinion that if Burn's attitude doesn't make a shift towards an openess of teamwork that he should never play for Auburn again. Hell, I agree with Franklin. If he really told Burns that he wasn't worth a shit, then hats off to Tony. At least someone on that coaching staff has the testicular fortitude to say it. And, I can guess who the hot-headed lineman was that Franklin fought with......Could it be Super-Kodi's high school teammate LEE ZIEMBA?

I bet my left nut it was. Ziemba has developed quite the hot-head. And, in short, has played poorly all year long. Auburn and Tuberville have some serious problems on this football team, and we need to deal with them immidiately. I have never seen a Tuberville team play less like a real team in my life. It looks to me like, while we were having a good time laughing at BAMA for having serious internal problems-that some severe ones for us manifested.

Auburn is always going to be my team, but I hope that if Tubs wants to keep his job-he will sort out the bad seeds. I don't believe our problem lies with the coaching staff solely. There are guys on this team who appear to have legitamately lost their minds. I hope and pray they sort it out.

Also, I hear that Tubs is exploring MY Barrett trotter recommendation. Hell, even Caudle would be a nice change. Give the man a shot! Anyways, I think that Tubs has seen enough and is actively making changes to this team as we speak.

And, just so we are all clear, I hope that if cooler heads and maturity do not prevail that Ziemba and Burns get their walking papers soon!

War Eagle!

P.S. Burns, if you were worth a shit, you'd be playing!

Well, I hate to say it-No, I actually love to say it......

So, what's worse than losing to a top 10 ranked LSU Tiger football team at home?

Losing to a far inferior opponent like, say, Oregon State......How bout that game? It goes to show you that the underdog does win once in a while. Good for college football, but bad for USC. Our chances of reaching the championship game are better at this point.

Give Auburn's offense some time, and cut Franklin some slack. They will only get better!! We'll take it to Tennessee this weekend, and then on to Vandy!

War Eagle!

P.S. I like Georgia over Bama by 14

But, can you imagine if Bama beats Georgia? They could sneak waaaaay up there! Yeah, I don't see that happening though. Their lack of depth on defense will show up against truly physical football teams. AKA-Georgia, even Kentucky, LSU, and Auburn. Not saying that they're going to lose those, but this illusion of a defense will be suspect by years end.

I decided to not let a couple of nimrods get to me. After all, they know little of what they speak.

War Eagle again!!!!!

I have decided that it isn't necessary to read or post on this site for now. I just cannot stand all of the negativity. No one is giving the offense time to come around, and it's pissing me off. I cannot imagine what would have happened to Florida if they had canned Meyer and his offense after a year......We were beaten by a better team plain and simple.....Goodbye fair-weather fans

War Eagle!

First off, I need to apologize to the LSU faithful for picking them to have an off year. LSU won the game in the trenches. They have depth on the lines that is hardly matched in the SEC. It seems that they are still capable of winning the West-contrary to what I believed early on.

Second, War Eagle! The offense showed some signs of life that I am excited about.

Okay here goes......

Auburn fans should not be calling for Franklin's head. The only really bad call I saw was the roll out PASS on 4th down. If I have Ben Tate, I run it straight at them.

Kodi Burns would not have been wise to play in this game. There was never an opportunity in this war, where I could see him coming in and not totally throwing off the flow of the game for the offense.

LSU is still a pretty good football team, and I am starting to see the genius in Dr. Evil's game plans.

Durst screwed one punt and we never saw him again. Shoemaker comes in and screws the pooch. What was this all about?

The defense does have holes, and they are right where we all knew they were! SECONDARY

Anyways, I am hungover and tired, but despite my disappointment, I still believe this is going to be a good year. If we can get past Tennessee, I think the schedule favors us until Georgia. So, all of you fairweather fans go ahead and start calling for more premature firings! But know this-- at the end of the day, we just got beat by a better football team! Plain and simple.......

War Eagle!

Yes! I said it! So what if we were predicted to win the West? We are experiencing some real, down to earth, growing pains. Nobody said it was going to be easy. I am just so confused by all of the negativity. Didn't Auburn win Saturday night? Aren't we 3-0? As opposed to 1-2 last year? Didn't we start last year as bad or worse on offense?

These are all really great questions, and I, for once in my life, am not going to get down about this. For the last 14 days, I have heard nothing but negativity from the Auburn fan base. Maybe we need this. Maybe, we need to lose 6 or 7 games to get a grip on reality. I saw it the last 2 years with the attendance and the sportsmanship. Auburn fans have become worse whiners and less supportive than the other school down the roads fanbase. I really believe this. There is this misplaced sense of entitlement that Auburner's have developed and it's making me sick.

Get over it! I guarantee you that those boys played their hearts out on Saturday night. The spread is new and we should be open to the possibility of some suffering due to the lack of experience. But, to scream for Franklin's head?To BLATANTLY overlook Todd's promise? Wake up Auburn!!! It is nowhere as bad as it could be! We could be Vanderbilt, and have no promise ever! We could be the Canes for crying out loud!! We have a successful program that is in a TRANSITION! Stop this school girl whining crap!

We are the Auburn Tigers!

The sheer heart and determination of my beloved "Cow" college's players and fanbase has in the past been a testament of sportsmanship and the competitive spirit throughout the country. Over the last few years, it has been lost. What happened? Did a little success dilute our reality this bad? Maybe so....

But, we are better than this. Auburn is my birthplace and my home away from home.  I am tired of this Bammer-likeness that we have adopted. They are the program of entitlement. Not us! We are the school that, no matter how long it takes, will find a way to regain that positive spirit, and learn to appreciate what we have here at Auburn. Leave the whining to the "Has-Been" University up the road! Because at the end of every day, they are just Alabama, and they will never be Auburn!

War Eagle!

Okay, maybe I am naive. Maybe, just maybe, I am missing some critical element to this season that other Auburner's seem to have discovered.

Why is everyone(most Auburn fans) so worried about our offense? They are averaging over 400 yards a game. 32 points a game? So, why is everyone so down on the Tigers?

That's all I hear these days. So much analyzing and worrying about Bama. Make no mistake fellow Auburn fans. Bama is going to be back. Hell, they could very well get us in Tuscaloosa this year. Hows about all of us stop breaking down every fart of Tuberville's and enjoy being Auburn fans?

 Auburn fans seem ready to turn on Tubs and Franklin at a drop of the hat. Have we become so dilluted and misguided that we should just expect so much? I for one think everyone needs to calm down.

If this doesn't apply to you, don't jump down my throat, but there is a huge portion of the Auburn family that is ready to jump ship! bUT, WHY?

The ship hasn't even left port yet....

Kinda pointless to run for the life boats when we're still docked......

War Eagle guys!! Let's have some fun....

So, what does everyone think of Tennessee now? I still think they are pretty solid.

Remember Bama and Auburn seemed to never be able to win openers against the PAC-10. Of course Wash St in 2006 was our only success against the PAC-10.

Side Note: Eric Berry looked good. Man, that hurts the heart when I think about how he slipped right through our fingers 2 years ago! Oh well, Se La Vie!!

First of all, Alabama fans, congrats on the big win!  Second, it really is ignorant-no matter how you spin it-to talk the type of smack that I heard at 11 o'clock last night this soon. I know that beating Clemson, a top 10 team, is a big deal, but I just have to hit a few points. Let's get started....

1. Don't be a poor winner and tell an Auburn fan to be afraid just yet.

2. We beat Clemson last year.

3. Clemson is an annual choker. They have always underachieved under Tommy Bowden. I am quite sure that the display in the Georgia Dome might have been the beginning of the end for Bowden.

4. Bammers- It really is amazing the things that y'all say.

One thing that I heard was, "we beat a top 10 ten! Who'd yall play? A high school team? And, what was that score?"-Bammer

I was completely dumbfounded. Didn't Auburn beat Clemson in their bowl game? And, didn't ALABAMA LOSE to ULM in their second to last game last year?

The Bammers response was...."THAT'S IN THE PAST"

WTF????? I was dumbfounded!!!! Isn't the premise of all BAMMERS hopes and dreams, found waaaaaaay back burried in the past! Hasn't that been their calling card for 2 decades now?

The irrational Alabama fans will be out in force this morning. They will talk their smack, and most of all, fail to see any logical points raised byother fans. Get ready boys and girls. The Bammers are back, and it's only going to get worse.

My first game perspective-I am hoping our inability to air out any passes was due to first game jitters.......I was glad to see the running game so dominant.

Overall, no surprises, but I want to see the ball thrown successfully. That's gonna hurt recruiting if we cannot get that done. Plus, what the hell did I wait 9 months to see?

On a side note: I apologize to LSU fans for being so rash. I still think you guys lose some, but I would like to amend my prediction to four losses at the most. LSU looked nasty at times.....

Well, it was a decent day of football. ECU got a hold of Va Tech, and Alabama got Clemson. I was thrilled for Alabama until the 1:30 to go mark. And then, I remembered why I loved watching them suffer over the last decade. The suffering may be over, but the streak WILL go on!

War Eagle!!!

Angry White Man-An Auburn Fan’s Response Category: Sports

I decided to share a few things I looked up with the rest of you guys. This story really happened.  Idid amend my language and added the Jimmy Johns bit to further my point......SO, ENJOY!

3/5/08

Earlier this morning, your's truly was accosted by an unruly and highly unintelligent "Bammer" fan.

I would like to, first of all, make apologies to the Alabama fan's that are my DAWGS. This blog is in-Absolutely-no way directed at you guys. I am making a general point. I will do my very best to be classy about the points that I am making.

First of all-I love football, and most of all, I love Auburn football. I was born in Auburn in 1978, and I even attended the school for some time. I am a fan, and as a fan I am, in all reality, not a factor in how my school does in: season games, off the field problems, and in recruiting. I admit that I will talk smack from time to time, but I do it in a non-threatening manner-because I know how it feels to be teased. ESPECIALLY about something that I have NO control over. That being said, let us move forward to the point.

I was having a friendly conversation with an employee of mine, and our conversation was abruptly ended by the start of a rant that is in all reality one of the more "Classless" rants made by a "Bammer" in history....I have edited and shortened the dialogue, but I found it necessary to convey my experience in this form....

Enjoy.....

Employee: Did you see the two relatives that got into a fight over Obama and Clinton?
BW: No, what happened?
Employee: One of them stabbed the other, and they are both in jail!
BW: That's funny....Where'd that happen?
Employee: In Texas
BW: Liberals in Texas....Don't mess with folks in Texas.....Speaking of which, did you hear about the Oklahoma fan(I thought at the time I had the story right) that was castrated by UT fans at a bar?
Victoria: No
BW: Yeah damn....And people say that Bama/Auburn rivalry is bad...
Employee: Auburn...who cares...Go Gators!!
BW: Hahaha. Keep joking. They (Auburn) have the best record in the SEC over the last decade>>>>INTERUPTION
AceholeBammer: Last decade!! try the last 20 or 30 years! How many Championships do yall have? One? Weren't yall Alabama Poly back then?
BW: Yeah, but if get all technical Bama has 6....
AB: We got twelve man! Go count 'em again. You're just mad cause the only thing that Auburn is good for is Soy Bean Research and Pig Impregnation!!!(Yes, he said that)
BW: It's people like you who make football no fun
AB:Yeah what about that JUNIOR COLLEGE LEVEL team Tubby recruited? Yall gonna lose a lot sooner than you think to us! Damn, he couldn't give away scholarships! herherherherher....
BW: Bama will be on probation within 3 years....I guarantee
AB: Whatever...I went to Bama and Auburn. You can tell I didn't like that "Cow"College...Son, I am a lot older than you(he was like 41 and when he called me son---- it was my inward breaking point)
BW:That's great I am thirty and NOT a BOY or your SON.
AB: Hope you didn't spit in my coffee
BW: No sir, I have more class then that. If I had been a Bammer, that's a different story.....

FIN

As you can see, I had a bad morning. The guy was obviously a jerk and out to prove it. After our little tussle, I decided to put some things in print. You know, to sort of rebuttal the guy....

Since 2000: Auburn is the winningest team in the SEC 75-27 overall, but---> (49-17) in SEC
LSU 81-19 (49-18)
Florida 74-28 (47-18)
Tennessee 71-30 (44-23)
Georgia 80-23 (47-20)
Alabama 53-46 (30-34)

Wait! There must be a discrepency!!
 30 times in my lifetime Bama and Auburn have squared off....Auburn has edge 16-14 including 7 out of last 8.

Since 1980 Auburn has 5 SEC titles.....Bama 4....But, if you go back two years thats makes 6 for them, and you have to omit 92's because it was a freakin home game played at Legion Field...Statistical purposes led me to round off at 1980....

In last 27 seasons, Auburn has 2 undefeated campaigns to Bama's 1

Auburn has 14 1st round draft picks
Bama-15

Since '02 Auburn's recruiting classes weighed in on an average of 12th best

Bama's average is 19th...That's with the PROBATION.....So, why should I care once Saban gets his players in?

Lastly. Since the implementation of the BCS, Auburn has one BCS win to Bama's nada!!

I will concede Bama's 1992 Title...

I digress....But, can you see what I am saying? Neither school has wowed the world over the last 27 years. But, if we are going to argue logistics....You have to deal with what I have written. We are not just a "Cow" College. WE have been just as big a part of the landscape of College Football as Alabama, IF NOT MORE. I didn't look it up, but Tub's record versus top 10 is ridiculous. And we can also weigh in on players arrested. Auburn had one last year(didn't pay a parking ticket)

Bama had 9. Plus the whole Jimmy Johns sellin COKE in the parking lot.

Auburn also had the distinction of being the number one team in the nation with active players that have already graduated. Auburn graduates ideal citizens(Almost 70%). Bama, well they try.... Go to Google and look this up: Former University of Alabama player arrested for intentionally spreading AIDS....

We are just fans, but a fan has to put his foot down sometime....

We aren't just a "COW" College. We are the school Bama's paying a guy 4 million a year to beat....

I'M OUT!!!

It seems that every year in the Southeastern Conference there is a team that doesn't quite live up to their potential. Actually, that is an understatement. Let's say that every year there is a team that totally screws the pooch in the SEC. In 2000, the Tide started the season ranked 3rd in the country. They lost early and never ever recovered ending up at a stellar 3-8.

In 2001, the Auburn Tigers were the team. The Tigers looked awesome at times, and at other times looked dismal. Wins against the top-ranked Gators and a gutsy win at Georgia were squandered by a season ending injury to Cadillac Williams in the first quarter against Alabama. Auburn didn't recover from that injury and what looked like a promising season ended very badly with 3 straight losses. 8-5 You're welcome LSU!

In 2003, Auburn was the canine screwer again. A national championship caliber team lost 2 to start the season and never fully recovered. They ended up 8-5. Again, you're welcome LSU!

In 2006, Georgia took home the Gold of teams that lost when they shouldn't have. Along with an Auburn team that lost heavily AT HOME to Georgia and Arkansas.

In 2007, South Carolina took top honors by losing their last five games......

So, who is this years Dud? If I was a betting man, I'd go with Georgia because I don't think they have it in them to weather their harsh schedule.

But, I am not a betting man. I am a man that has sat quietly (until now) and watched Les Miles get away with some of the most BONEHEADED calls in the history of the game. If you look back, LSU hasn't actually beaten Auburn on the field since 2003. It has taken some seriously messed up divine intervention to grant them the successes that they have had. So, that being said, LSU is my team to squander opportunities and to totally screw the pooch this year.

They will start off 3-0 before playing Auburn, but that's where it will get interesting. LSU will lose handily to Auburn. Then, a Miss State team with a grudge will upset them. State is returning nine on a good defense. They will then get bamboozled by Florida.

The next week against South Carolina will be about the same outcome as with Miss State. Georgia will utterly embarrass Les Miles at home and increase the already uncontrollable heat on him. Then, two weeks later, Nick Saban will have a hand at his former school's demise.

By the time the next week comes around, things will be out of control. Miles will be the first guy to win a national championship and be in this type predicament. Ole Miss and Houston Nutt will be calling. Nutt has a good football team and things will get ugly when the final kneel down is made. LSU will beat Arkansas the next week in a feeble attempt at getting a bowl game, but they won't get it.

My prediction: LSU 6-6.

Thus goes the tyrant and that incredibly whimsical pony he road in on......

Jay recommended reading Tony Franklin's interview with Tony Barnhardt. I agree that it's a good read, but if you scroll down into the comment section of the story, you will see vast amount of Dawgs dissing Auburn.

Well, first off, on paper Georgia looks tough. But, what most of the "Puppy Nation" does not realize is that being voted number one before a down is played does not VALIDATE their program. Winning on the field  is what makes you number one. Besides LSU and Alabama, I cannot think of a fan base that has let their mild successes on the football field distort their expectations of an upcoming football season as that of the UGA's. 

The attacks on Auburn's offense are just way too premature. I read one comment that said that a good SEC defense can stop the spread. But, the best defense in the SEC is Auburn's....So, wherein lies their logic? Georgia is not known for having stellar defense! Except 2001-2003 Or, for winning without using "Circus" theatrics(Florida and Auburn games last year) So, what propels this team to number one? Knoshown Moreno? Caled King? I doubt it.  Their road schedule is as brutal as they come!!! They will not have the benefit of using those theatrics against Auburn, and believe me payback is coming.

I gave them the nod against Auburn in my preseason predictions, but I think I am going to retract that. I have looked at Georgia and Auburn closely. We have the better defense, and if the offense is as good as I think it will be, I think Georgia will(like every other year) just sit around and dream about what might have been. While Auburn steals their thunder......Again

28 Days to go, and I already hate people from Athens a little more, but don't fear them College Football World.......

They are all bark and NO BITE!!

    Have I crossed into another demension? Where am I? When did the most conservative state in the "Union" decide that it was okay to deal crack? Oh! Thats right! we are talking football in Alabama!

I almost forgot about a blog I wrote on here a year ago! Synopsis--The Bammers have sold out COMPLETELY to win football games. At what cost you ask? Whatever it takes!

They have jumbled reality and football into their very own Alabama casserole of "Bull-Sh*t"...........

NO! It's not okay to do drugs. Yes. a lot of people do them!

No, its not okay to continue to give your head coach a free pass on his RESPONSIBILITIES!!!! YES! He is responsible for his players. I don't give a crap who recruited them. He has been there a year and a half!! He is responsible!!

Okay, if Nick isn't responsible? "Because he can't be with them at all times"-Bammers.....

Then....

How in the H*LL does he recruit so well?  How can he say he didn't know or isn't responsible, and then turn around and sit in someones living room and promise parents that he will look after their children if they leave home and play for him? How can he say that? I want to know!

I am tired of this Auburn vs Alabama "Retard" rhetoric that bounces off Paul Finebaum's bald head! Auburn fans are gloating because our coach takes the initiative to care for his players(And is ACCOUNTABLE), and Bama fans are mad! They are mad because they have dealt us a smorgasbord of awesomeness to taunt them about!

And, what is their new argument? What have you done during our "Down Streak"? Well, for one, we've beaten Bama 6 years in a row, and are a NATIONALLY CREDIBLE CONTENDER every year. That is enough for me!

I digress...

My point here is that it is never okay to downplay something as serious as a coke bust. I know these kids are hard to keep up with. But, Nick Saban is to blame. Along with Saban, Mal Moore should shoulder some responsibility. This is embarassing folks. As an Auburn fan, I would condemn coaches and players who sat idly by and allowed this to happen on their watch. I wouldn't go as far and as preposterous as to blame Mike Shula! Give me a break! Wasn't he the "Savior" after Franchione was the "Savior" of Alabama football? Hey, isn't Saban the "Savior" or is he yalls Anti-Bear?Anyway....

Lastly.....

If it's one thing we learn from history is that we NEVER learn from history.......

Take note Alabama!

You're history!!!

P.S. I would like to thank all the people who made this rant possible: Shane, Paul, Jimmy J, the washed up drunk who calls games for Alabama,  and flat-out all Bammers who just don't get it! Gotta give love to the orange and blue!! Jay, love the site! I am really stoked about AuburnUndercover.com! I think Phillip's got a winner! It's a great alternative to some of the silliest recruiting news out there! AcidRein, I'll see ya on da flip side yo!! Haha

I'm out!!

    It's summer and I am bored. I decided to go ahead and pick the scores for Auburn's upcoming season.....

    From what I have seen and heard, these are my score predictions......

    Don't hold me to these if our lack of experience and depth at these positions turns out to be a red herring......

La Monroe 14

Auburn 49

I don't think I need to break down this one.....

Southern Miss 10

Auburn 35

Do I need to get into this one either??

Miss St 17

Auburn 31

The MSU Bulldogs are back to being a yearly pain in the "ACE".....

Kudos to Croom and his staff. However Auburn will prove to have too much talent despite the fact that MSU returns 9 STARTERS on a decent defense.

LSU 20

Auburn 21

In what has become an annual bizarre fest, Auburn proves to be just a little better than the reigning national champs.

Tennessee 21

Auburn 24

Tennesse's inability to move the ball on the ground consistently against Auburn's front 7 will be the difference.

Vanderbilt  7

Auburn  31

Hey it's Vandy and they aren't the Vandy of old.....

Arkansas 23

Auburn 35

Never underestimate Bobby Petrino and his ability to find your weakness and expose it......

West Virginia 33

Auburn 31

Yes, I said it. Auburn is thin in the secondary. I have based  the other predictions according to that belief.....I think Pat White will run and throw, and our Defense just won't have enough left in the tank at the end.....

Ole Miss 14

Auburn 42

Houston Nutt will have them beating us within 3 years.......Doubt me? What's Nutt's record against Auburn? I dare not say.......

Tenn-Martin 0

Auburn 56

Won't help our BCS chances.......

Georgia 38

Auburn 27

They are THAT good. They will run, throw, kick, and probably  sweat better than the Tigers......But, at least we won't see them in Atlanta!

Alabama 20

Auburn 35

Seven!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the better ACE whoopins of the streak.......They have no Defense coming back, and Jerrel Harris can't come in and do it all himself........Plus Julio Jones will be more troble than he's worth.......

10-2 and SEC West Champs!!!!

Florida 27

Auburn 31

I have no doubt that Urban Meyer cannot out-coach Tommy Tuberville. Look no further than the last 2 years!!!!

11-2 SEC Champs!!!

Bowl Game? I guess the Sugar? Against probably the loser of Ohio State-USC, or maybe a rematch with West Virginia.....that would be nice!!

Well, that's it folks. Sorry, if you don't agree, but that's how I see it. If Auburn can find some folks to help us in the secondary and do well at it, and this offense works, we could get a title shot. But, let's be realistic for now!!!

On Finebaum today, they discussed Auburn's recruiting thus far in 2009. Lugenbill, an ESPN writer, and a recruiting evaluator said that Auburn has a top 10 class right now. Well, that didn't sit well with the "Bammers" . Who, for some reason, actually thought that Auburn would lay down and die in the wake of Nick Saban'S arrival. I hate it for you Bammers, but Auburn isn't going anywhere. So, come get some!!!

War Eagle!!

P.S. Alabama has six players that aren't going to arrive at the capstone from the 2008 class....3 are ESPN Top 150.....Sucks to be you!!!!

I am surprised that I am the first to mention this. Deron Furr, one of our biggest recruits from this last class has made the leap to safety to get playing time. Furr, a Four Star quarterback out of high school, made the decision earlier this week.

I had looked forward to him taking snaps for us, but I guess he has seen the writing on the wall with the addition of Raymond Cotton to the 2009 class. What is everyone elses thoughts here??

    When I think of Shane from the Paul Finebaum show, I think of that fat bastard with Bear Bryant tatooed on his back.

For a "Writer" he fails to be objective and lacks the ability to admit when he is wrong. He consistently harps on "Aubies" about everything under the sun. His little love affair with Little Nick Saban is downright nauseating. According to Shane, Saban can do No wrong, but somehow Saban is consistent in doing wrong. He is a solid, solid recruiter and just a mediocre coach at best. But, to hear Shane speak you would think Paul "Bear" Bryant had come back to life. I wonder how the Bammer Nation will feel about Saban after another 7-5 campaign this year? My thoughts are-NOT WELL. I digress......

I just cannot take much more of Shane and his silly, elementary school rants. To reason with Shane is like trying to argue over whose dad can beat whose up. Who really cares? All i know is-Auburn has won 7 of 8 against Alabama. It is MORE than likely going to be extended again this year. Adding insult to injury, I believe Bama will be 8-4 at best, they will out-recruit us, but we will win the SEC.......

Sound like a fair trade off Shane?

I'll take it.

War Eagle!

    I was just riding back in my car listening to Paul Finebaum, when an Alabama fan called in and questioned Auburn's new offense. The caller asked Paul if he believed that Auburn had the personnel to pull off the spread. Paul replied with a definitive "No". The caller also agreed. Now, let me say this Bammers. Keep thinking that. The Auburn Nation wants you to go ahead and think that. Hell, I'll just agree with that assessment. But, know this-a rude awakening awaits the Saban Nation. Auburn has the quality players to make this work. Even if it doesn't work to the degree that Franklin wants it to, Auburn's defense is MORE than capable of picking up the slack. I'll even goes as far to say that if Auburn's Offense scores at least 21 points a game, that will be enough to win them all. So, keep thinking that we don't have the personnel. I'll play along, but like I said before-if this works like I think it will.......there may be a few new trophies to add to the collection.

War Eagle!!

The "Dog" Days of summer are upon us, but at the end of what is sure to be a Hot, Dry, and Humid summer in Alabama is a football season that holds such promise. The Auburn Tigers are sure to be the favorite to win the Western Division of the SEC-due mostly in-part to the dismissal of Ryan Perriloux from LSU However, I am a tiny-weeny bit concerned about those expectations. Does anyone need a reminder of 2003? Nah, didn't think so. So, I am geared up to sweat and suffer for the next three months in anticipation of another banner year in Auburn and plenty of near heart attacks!!

Can't Wait!!

Sorry, guys. Tubs and company blew it, and what we have been hearing for a year is true. Tuberville cannot recruit against Saban. And, to make matters worse, we lost key players to the likes of South Florida, North Carolina, and Ole Miss. Don't give me crap about Tuberville getting players who fit in his system. He lost all 7 head-to-heads against Alabama, and had to settle for a 2-Star LB from Northview High here in Dothan. So, I will say this. Tubs, you'd damn well better beat Bama while you can. We have a leg up on them in experienced talent for now, but no for much longer.

Answer me this....How does a school that has posted the 5th best record in DIV I over the last 5 years look so inept in recruiting?

War Eagle anyway

Well, I was wrong. I have no problem admitting that. It looks as if Tuberville will stay at Auburn. I am; however, still a little puzzled by the week leading up to Georgia and the day of that game. What happened? Why didn't he shout from the rooftops that he wasn't going? Oh well. Anywho, it looks like Arkansas may open up, but would Tuberville step over and down to coach the pigs? It is his home state, but I doubt it. Like I have always said, Tubs and I have a love-hate relationship. Hed makes me so proud at times and so mad others. It's almost like a parent when your a teenager. Anyways, good for Texas AM, and good for Auburn. Now, let's can Borges and get a trigger happy OC, retain Muschamp, and beat Bama in recruiting. All of these things can happen, AND all of these things will....War Eagle!

Good morning Auburn Nation! I would like to take the opportunity to set the record straight on my previous letter. I haven't been present at Auburn-Georgia games here in recent history, so I do not have prior knowledge of any wrong doing by Auburn players, coaches, or fans. I apologize if my words seemed insensitive to Georgia people, but the fact of the matter is what I saw from Georgia was Circus Theatrics. Whether you agree with me or not is up to you, but a wise man once wrote that "Perception is reality". If I perceived wrong doing and an over-abundance of WWE type trickery, then that is in fact a reality for me as an Auburn fan. Did I imagine the touchdown celebration against Florida? The shooting birds and inappropriate gestures at the Crimson Tide student section? Or what happened Saturday? NO! I have said nothing out of line. Mark Richt needs to get a hold of that team and teach them the honorable way to win. Thats what I am saying and thats what I will stand by!

War Eagle!
