Popular Post AURex Posted December 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Ya know, I visit AUF almost every day and sometimes I contribute as well. But ....... I mean ....... how many threads and how many hundreds of posts do we need saying "get rid of gus and hire X, Y or Z in his place"? It's like, there is nothing here but gus-hate. I am not a gus apologist, I'm ready for him to be axed too, but how many times can everyone say the same ^&%* thing, over and over and over? Am I less of an AU fan because I'm burned out with this constant repetitive stuff? Am I an AUF hater because I'm just tired of reading the same thing over and over and over? Actually I'm concerned that, because of the gus-hate-overload, we are losing a lot of fans who are looking for actual Auburn Football information, like who is playing well and where are the weaknesses, who is in and who is out due to injuries or covid, What is the match-up with Miss State, who needs to step up, how does AU match up offensively, etc? Instead, all we see is "fire gus and hire X, Y or Z." Nothing -- NOTHING -- regarding upcoming game. And it has been like this for weeks and weeks. No useful, solid info about football, just gus hate. Look, I am ready for gus to be gone. But I want to see talk about Auburn FOOTBALL, and it is not here. And I think a LOT of AUF members feel the same way. JMO, which is worth what you paid for it. Edited December 9, 2020 by AURex 13 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubaseball Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 It’s 2020. It’s how the year has gone since March. It’s upside down and the season has been very disappointing. If Mississippi State was able to run the ball at all, I truly believe they would win without much trouble. The Auburn defense this year has been completely pushed around. KY game - they scored before halftime and didn’t get the call. The outcome is questionable if that happens. GA game - not even competitive Arkansas - a bone headed play by our QB should have ended the game. If it’s officiated correctly it’s a loss South Carolina- enough said Ole Miss - another questionable call but I do believe we would have scored and gone for two to tie. Tennessee - any coach with sense would have run the ball every play in the second half and it’s a W. Alabama - really???? texas A&M- Auburn had chances but ultimately couldn’t stop them So, I really don’t expect anything different Saturday 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Gus has made his job security the main story and most fans have little interest in the games themselves. If everyones posting on the same topic I would assume thats where the interest lies. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No useful, solid info about football, just gus hate. I don't mean to beat a dead horse....but that should speak volume to where we are as fans. The apathy for the program has peaked. I used to love coming here for exactly what you said. Talking about upcoming opponents, games ,stats, whatever. I don't even think we had a look-a-like thread the past game or two and those are my absolute favorites. I personally believe the apathy is too much to overcome.

gr82b4au Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I think Mississippi State is terrible and we should wax them. However our defense has been playing very poorly lately, so I think we will win by about 14 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCTAU Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 People are upset. It’s pretty easy to look at the topics and skip the ones that deal with Gus. Read the others. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTigerTime Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Agree with you wholeheartedly. I think mods should merge like-minded posts. Especially if they're low effort content and just the same old rant with a different slant on it. This coaching discussion is the same thing over and over and over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytonAU Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 It does feel somewhat similar to right before we hired Muschamp if I remember correctly(?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's whatever people are interested in, and whatever the biggest story is. Right now that's Gus' failures. This post is like complaining that the only thing anybody was talking about in late October was the election. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle-1 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Actually, Gus himself stirs a lot of it up with his ridiculous press conferences trying to convince everyone how bright the future is when the house is on fire. I would much rather hear him say something to the effect, " we suck right now, but we're going to make some changes, and fix it." At least then we'd know the man is capable of seeing he's got a problem. Edited December 9, 2020 by Eagle-1 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I’m fine with people being upset with Gus and I’ve made similar comments @AURexabout a dozen threads all saying the same thing. It’s not the threads as much as if you say one thing that’s not “Gus sucks” you get attacked. I’m not a Gus lover but I also think a lot of people have gone a little too emotional in discussing this topic. I’m an Auburn Alumni and a season ticket holder. I’ve been through the 2010, 2013 seasons and I’ve been through 2012,2015 seasons. I agree the time has come to make a change but I also think some people need to step back from the ledge and stop acting like message board trolls. We’re all the same team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is the one and only thing that makes us feel alive and passionate about something related to Auburn football is the prospect of getting rid of mr mediocrity. It damn sure is not the actual games. There is a total wash of apathy over this whole program and fanbase. God forbid there be multiple topics and discussions about the only thing people care about these days related to Auburn football which is firing Gus and who the replacement would be. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 So maybe start a thread about actual football topics rather than ones complaining about lack of football discussions. Just a thought. 3 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodford Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 There’s not much to talk about. They’re not a good football team and it’s been an extremely underwhelming year. Gus is and will be the center of conversation until he’s gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creed Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I came to the conclusion many months ago that the moderators should create a new forum called the "Auburn Football Forum" with strict rules and rename this one the "Bitch and Moan" forum. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
