auburn4ever 1,266 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Al is 100% right. This offense has tanked. In fact, it's been tanking since the 2014 season. It's time for a change and starting with the head coach and AD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live down in a lower protected area on the lake though. If the top of my trees are barely moving, I know it is fairly windy in town on higher ground. We live on the side of a mountain at 3050 feet above SL, and can get some nasty winds in storms like these with gusts of 60-70 mph. Right now it is a cold steady rain with 30-40 mph occasional gusts. Last winter's main snow storm brought some heavy winds before the snow started. We get a lot of high winds on occasion throughout the year. We love to eat at Cracker Barrel in Braselton on our way home from visiting folks in south Louisiana. We like the Cracker Barrel in is it Opelika or Auburn? This is the best one on the 750 mile both ways drive to Louisiana. My wife's folks are from South Louisiana. However, her dad is a huge UF Gator fan. I tend to like UF better than LSU though folks. My pastor is a UF grad, and a super guy. Took him and his 12 year old boy golfing at my home course last week. His boy had never played golf before and after a few adjustments, hit 5 greens in a row! I am lucky to hit 5 greens in an 18 hole round! My average for 18 holes is a miserable 4.22 strokes per hole! (par 3 18 hole). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc4aday 1,887 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 if Clemson shuts down Louisville come Saturday and holds them under 300 yards, I will feel just a few percentage points better. Not much though. Saturday was the worst performance I have ever seen from an Auburn team in memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had lost 14-6 with 250 yards of offense but had a couple of red zone turnovers that costs us the game, I could live with that. But Gus is putting out inexplicable incompetence on the field on a regular basis now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am truly curious if he has any influence with someone in the PTB beyond being a former player who has a radio show. wde yes you were. Al, other than being one of the most well known and well liked Auburn players is also a very well liked media member. I would tell you that if Al is saying it then Dye is saying it as well.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Stellar defenses left to play against in the order of best of the best we will see this season: 1. LSU (I think LSU is a top 3 SEC defense likely #1 with us coming in #3 behind them and the turds but not too much. 2. Clemson (2nd best we will face) 3. turds 4.UGA 5.

In other words, could his opinion act as a catalyst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historical context, Del Greco is about as big a positive a man as there comes. I doubt he would even make the statement without having said something to the PTB first.

AUIH1 1,515 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I am sure this will make you again go full tilt towards stupid and irrational, but the less influence that Pat Dye has on our football program in 2017, the better it is for AU. Pat Dye's influence (and those loyal to him) is a big reason we are in the position we are in today (Jay Jacobs being the AD). wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
