I'm a bit more realistic about where the issue is now though. I should start going more to games against lower tier teams to fix my record lol.

Ah, this running joke. I hadn’t started following football at the time so I don’t really have the comprehension for how badly that game must’ve hurt.

AU-24 3,063 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 https://auburn.rivals.com/news/auburn-to-face-minnesota-in-outback-bowl I’ll be there cheering on my Auburn Tigers! Maybe stay at Patrick AFB, scoot East so the Fam can give Mickey a shout, then watch Gus crush Fleck with a teenage QB. Kind of like Gus set a record stomping Purdue (who beat Ohio State) last year in Nashville with Tom Brady’s now backup QB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Let's see… a New Year's Day bowl against Minn....guess I am missing something with the complaining. Minn. higher in the Big Ten than 3 loss Michigan and Wisc going to the Rose Bowl as the loser of their championship game .... Looks like the bowls followed the formula Do some folks just like to bellyache or is there some reason that AU has been "dissed" which some folks are saying? I guess the upside of this issue is that AU players will want to "show 'em" and be ready to play when the game comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchids 227 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Pre WW2 power but I guess at least they had their time. It does beg the question though, were there facemasks on helmets the last time Minny was good? Heck, were there helmets? 😋 They should be pretty motivated though. Based on the forum post, this is the winning-est team they've had in over a century Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Orlando being attractive too. If I was going I'd be happy to go to Tampa. For some reason all football fields look the same on TV so... I'm really just hoping the team gets to work and gets ready to beat Minnesota. We could use the momentum of a 10 win season. 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. Noon kick is a decent start time?!
