AUFlyer99 647 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I hope the Shitrus Bowl enjoys a half full stadium that’s about 65-70% Michigan. No way the bammers travel for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doverstutts 1,643 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Much happier to play Minn than Wisc. All things as they are, I don't think we could beat Wisc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,051 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Great we'll steam roll them and the majority of our fan base will be happy and we'll continue the circle of mediocrity. We destroy teams like that but we're not quite good enough to be thoroughly respected. We'll continue to cry about how everybody hates and are against us.....sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loss to UCF, a flash in the pan G5 team, or a loss to Minny, who hasn't even been regionally relevant since 1960? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbygpaw 36 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 We beat Alabama and go to a New Years Day bowl, and most of the posts in this thread are dogging the bowl, the opponent and our coach. The bowl and opponent are consistent with most of the projections, and this is a selection process that is outside of AU’s control. As for Gus, you’d best start supporting him because he is going to be our coach for the foreseeable future. This is not sunshine pumping - just reality. The only thing that the rest of us have any control over is our attitudes. Buy a couple of tickets, go to Tampa for New Years Day, and cheer on AU to beat UM.

AUBourne 425 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I'm two hours from Tampa and have no desire to attend. Since the UF game in Gainesville I have not been to any football games. I used some of that savings to go watch the basketball team play in Brooklyn and spend 10 days in NYC. I have no regrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully to Beasley 643 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Very happy that we are playing on NewYears Day against a team we have never faced. Should be a good game to watch.

Swamp Eagle 5,134 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I'm ok with Minnesota in the Outback. A team we've never played is alwsys intriguing to me. Still awaiting the AU/Notre Dame matchup. Ahhh...one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUStew87 326 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I guess I’m in the minority that likes the selection for both AU and bama. I did want AU to get a shot at Michigan, but I’m satisfied with the Minnesota draw. Why? First, all my bama friends have talked trash about Harbaugh for years (it’s probably justified to some degree) and I can’t wait to see him beat bama when all their NFL prospects sit the game out. Second, I’m intrigued to see what Malzahn can do against Fleck. As mentioned earlier in this thread, many posters here wanted Fleck to replace Malzahn. Malzahn has already beaten Cristibol this year and now has a shot at Fleck. I believe those were the two top replacements for Malzahn’s job on this board. Third, AU has never played Minnesota before, so that also has an intriguing aspect to the game as I didn’t want to see Wisconsin or Memphis (or really anyone we have played in last decade). I think Fleck will have his team ready to go and will give us a fight. Hoping the AU players show some interest and for a great game, WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think the last 15 football games I have attended AU won about 2 of them and I'm tired of it. At least the start time is decent this year and I might change my mind depending how many family members go. But right now spending money to watch a 3 loss AU play a team with one potential NFL player is not appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,662 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Not playing Michigan sucks Minnesota seems to be a primarily throwing team this season, which simplifies our jobs.
