RunInRed 16,381 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Quote Auburn has added non-conference opponent in 2019. Tulane will visit Jordan-Hare Stadium on Sept. 7, 2019. The only other non-conference game on Auburn's 2019 non-conference schedule at this time is the season opener against Oregon at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/index.ssf/2017/03/auburn_adds_non-conference_opp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Tulane is not from a power 5 conference. Why play them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80Tiger 899 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Another guaranteed sell out. I am sure CBS will want to pick that game up for the 2:30pm broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtauburntiger 119 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Guys, this is a solid schedule filler. We are already playing Oregon out of conference. We pick up Tulane instead of Jacksonville St or Samford. You have to have a few down weeks to let people heal and get young guys playing time. How can we complain about every schedule decision that is made. I think Tulane is a solid choice for a NON- marquee out of conference game. Some people here just look for reasons to complain ....

My thoughts exactly. We have enough trouble beating the teams in our conference. Then you add Oregon. Believe me, you want 3 very winnable games in there somewhere. I like the game.

Win4AU 4,052 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Guess Clemson got tired of playing us ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeleagle 2,945 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Just glad we are playing someone else from a P5 conference who has a pedigree. I don't the Tulanes as long as one of the OOC is a quality name team. although i would rahter play home and home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,791 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Since our football schedule rarely ranks outside the top 20 in difficulty (and is frequently top 10), I have absolutely zero problem with us adding a patsy non conference opponent - especially one that is a charter SEC member and somehow (we've played them ONCE since 1955 - hammered them) has a winning record against us.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 If Jacobs schedules goes and schedules Clemson for 2020 or beyond, well hopefully he'll be retired before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely agree. I love this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Why doesn't Jacobs try to schedule teams like Oklahoma State or Texas Tech. I'm glad Penn State wanted to play us in a home a home series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUApostle 7,651 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I won't be satisfied until we play only the top 12 teams in a season...and he better win at least 11 of them or else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnphan 6,050 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I didn't know Tulane still had a program, UAB would have been a nice addition. I would like to see an upgrade on at least one of the four non conference games to have 2 higher quality opponents, most top programs have been trending that way. Scheduling at least 2 games each year with a power 5 conference would be ideal even if they are home and home arrangements to give the athletes opportunities to play in other game day atmospheres and to help sell the program.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Are talks still going on about UAB and Auburn playing 1 game in Jordan-Hare. I know I read a few months ago that the UAB AD talked it up really big. He said that and Jacobs was trying make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
