sevenlee36 1,654 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I could see ya lose both. Higher chance of winning I’d think would be Purdue, the air raid of TT can be unstoppable some times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 33,847 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Purdue. I would love to see that match up. And we should be able to beat both. However, I could definitely see us dropping both games as well, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU80cruiser 1,102 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Purdue for sure. I want to see the Brohm vs Malzahn game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike4AU 1,735 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Don’t care. After the first 2-3 scripted drives, the O will pull its usual Gus malaise. Same ole crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle79 3,569 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Purdue. Tech would have over 400 yards passing against us at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brohm will likely be at his new job by then, I believe he accepted the position at Louisville, and some interim coach would step in for the bowl game. Purdue would be the better choice. If we beat them, then we could claim transitive property applies and we're better than Urban "Not Feeling So Good" Myer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Just Google "Brohm Louisville"). That being said, I've been pretty high on him so I would be interested in seeing him vs Gus. TT will probably set passing records against Auburn but at least their D might not be that great. Could end up a shoot-out assuming the players are fired up for the game.

Win4AU 4,043 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Which team would Auburn have the better chance of running against? If Auburn can get some traction on the ground the offense will be able to score more than 24 again and both these games look more like Ole Miss than Texas A&M.

Plus, after losing their opener to Ole Miss (seems like an eon ago) TT will be fired up for another match-up with the SEC to prove their worth. Auburn may very well be..."well, at least they're not UCF..." Just don't feel that confident that Gus is capable of firing up the troops for "disappointing" bowl games.

Yeah, I even did a tongue in cheek thread in the Rivals section re: UW being "mad" at Auburn for screwing up their SOS. Pardon the derail here as I'm no bball expert but aren't they playing a ranked opponent or 2 next week in Maui? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Houston's more than twice as far away. Might be looking at flights vs buses for the team. School might save some money going to Jacksonville. But then it looks like the Texas Bowl might pay out twice as much? Whichever one gives the players the best gift bags I guess. From a fan's perspective: Money/logistics no object, give me Houston. One of the best food cities in the country. Money/logistics an object, pack the jorts and take me to Jax. I can't really formulate opinions or emotions about the actual opponent/game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a shoot out i'm afraid that Gus will start out using 22 long rifle, but the second half he will have switched to 22 shorts! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,784 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 AU v Purdue in Gator Bowl because it's only 2 hours away and it's all about me. Since the loss to UT I have been hoping we could play USF in a bowl because then (if we win) we would have a winning record against EVERY team in the state of Florida and this season would not be a total letdown. Grasping at straws, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU-HANDLEY-TIGER 205 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Gotta say I hope Auburn pulls a very winnable match up - need a lift for the offseason. Last year losing to UCF was depressing and we had to live with the bad taste for 7 minths! Sadly I think both those teams would beat Auburn.
