Humboldt Tiger

If Auburn makes a bowl a notch above the Birmingham Bowl, I would consider the season a success. My expectations used to be competing for the SEC West and less so, the SEC championship. I've always liked the role of underdog and with our 2 biggest rivals being Goliaths, it fits the current narrative and historical one as well in regard to Bama.

Therein lies the problem.

So you think it was right for Miller to deliver a gun in the wee hours of morning to a guy who murdered someone 2 minutes after drop off? Is that what you mean by "no wrong"?

How do Parole Tide fans feel about Bama not benching Killer Miller? I live in CA and folks here think it is disgusting and that Coach Oats is a true idiot, especially after not knowing about the pat down routine.

Agree with this comment Jack. Thanks for providing more context. I love KDs energy but he has definitely regressed.

Im ecstatic about our season because our freshmen have underperformed and I thought 2 of them would be key contributors. When you lose 2 1st round draft picks, you are absurd to think 15 and 3 isn't good at this juncture. Yes, they have more difficult games down the road which is why I said at this juncture.

Auburn's freshmen have contributed very little thus far this season. That said, Im ecstatic about our season at this juncture, especially since I thought Yohan would be one of our top 3 scorers and rebounders. I haven't given up on any of the freshmen and expect them to improve either later in the season or next year.

Precisely beachbum. Tolan was a true freshman last year and yet he played in 12 games. It must have really upset bayou tiger to warrant him making such a ridiculous comment.

Tidefan you must struggle with reading comprehension. Keyword in my post regarding qbs was serviceable. We got beat out by the likes of Virginia and NC State on Olinemen

I live on the West coast and know many Boise State fans. They were unanimously glad to see him leave when Auburn hired him. I wanted to support him and don't think yellawood feller helped matters, but we are in danger of being cellar dwellers in the SEC west.

Harsin did not add one OL or OT from the portal nor a serviceable QB. His days are numbered.

Week 1 gut reaction (cringe) - The Auburn - LSU game will decide who finishes last in the SEC West. Predicted finish in the SEC West after week 1: Alabama Arkansas Texas A&M Mississippi State Ole Miss Auburn LSU

A total of 8 wins for the year including postseason seems to be the magic number predicted by most pundits in order for Harsin to retain his job. Auburn has typically fared well in years when they are predicted to be bad or mediocre. I hope that trend continues but cant envision them winning more than 8 games this year.

I think Harsin needs to go no worse than 7-6 this year and have a respectable recruiting class not too far out of the top ten to retain his job. Im not very optimistic that both of these can happen together. Unless we restock the OL next year with at least 3 capable transfers, I see us getting worse before we get better and I dont envision the boosters being that patient.

Much better, thanks. I know our football team has been an easy target as of late so some of your opinions about that particular sport do have merit. Realistically, I'm hoping the football team has a winning regular season and a win in some mediocre bowl game. Love Auburn win or lose however.

Super stoaked about this addition to the squad. Surprised Luvdaride hasn't commented but since there's no real negative way to spin this, I guess he has been muted.

Much props to the pigs! Well deserved win

Tidefan, not much has been said about Calzada because he's been held out die to an injury to his non-throwing shoulder. Still, I hate to see Davis go as I thought he had the most upside of ant QB in our roster.

I will definitely be rooting for the Hogs and would love nothing more than seeing them beat Gonzaga even though it would be screwing up my bracket.

Luvdaride is a true idiot. His grammar, punctuation or lack thereof, and sentence structure backs up that claim. I'm quite certain he's one of those Bama fans, and there are many, who never attended a class at UA or any other university for that matter.

I would love to see Craig back on the Plains but afraid it's only wishful thinking especially with the uncertainty here and because of A&M's recruiting prowess.

Nick Saban should be fired. If Alabama doesn't win the natty next year and beat every team by double digits, he's gone.

I was impressed by Auburn's effort even in OT. When Bama tied Auburn to send the game to OT, I thought we would roll over but it took 4 OTs for Bama to eke out a win. An Auburn columnist who was at the game said it was the quietest Bama fans had been after an Iron Bowl victory and said columnist has been covering Auburn football for 40 years. Good luck against Georgia!

I'm not sure we beat South Carolina. Although Carlson was in a slump, his injury should also be considered. If the game is settled by a field goal, we don't have a kicker that has even attempted a field goal their entire stint at Auburn! With Bo and Carlson, I thought if we played an error free game and Bama played like they did against LSU and Florida, we had an outside shot at winning. Isn't Bama down to 2 healthy running backs? Not sure they can beat Georgia without all their studs on deck.

*Malzahn with him

The loss to Mississippi State hurts more than any other this season. I thought Harsin was an upgrade when we replaced him with Malzahn, but after yesterday I'm not sure. If we beat South Carolina and are competitive with Bama, 7 and 5 doesn't sound solid but at least respectable. I've grown accustomed to mediocrity as an Auburn fan and now think a 10 win season is our ceiling.

I was being sarcastic mrtruth. I thought that was obvious.

Maybe Florida can hire Derek Mason away from Auburn?

I am from a house divided as they say in Alabama and got degrees from both schools to appease my parents lol. If Bama plays Georgia in the SEC championship game (likely). I'll be pulling for the Tide because at least Auburn still has a more recent natty.
