Oh, it won't be the great Jake "Bonita Apple" Quattlebaum. In fact, it will happen specifically because of the crucial depth he provides at every offensive line position. His extraordinary versatility assures us that he will be employed in at least one other role at some point this season. Our opponents will be ready when that time comes. 

Hey Jacob, glad to meet ya
For the cunnin' stunning you, miss(ter) I must beseech ya
Hey, being with you is a top priority
Ain't no need to question the authority
Chairman of the board, the chief of affections
You got minds that sway in your direction
Hey, you're like a hip hop song you know
Jacob Quattlebaum, you gotta put me on

I did not expect this glorious of a response, and I certainly didn't expect it so effortlessly.

Take a bow, sir!

I'm not that cool. I had to look up Bonita, and just ran with it from there.

I'll do ten:

1) Auburn finishes 3rd in the West

2) Tank Bigsby SEC leading rusher

3) Bo Nix All-SEC post season

4) Tony Fair makes a name for himself and is a day 2 draft pick

5) Zakoby and Owen Pappoe end with All-SEC honors

6) Roger McCreary earns All-American recognition and 1st round draft pick

7) No one blows us out

8 ) Defense pitches 4 shut outs

9) Elijah Canion breaks 1,000 yards

10) A TE is our 3rd leading receiver in receptions and yards

[Win4AU 4,052]

Can I add

Auburn wins a bowl game against a Power 5 conference member in a Florida bowl.  Possibly Wisconsin

[tgrogan21 6,198]

MMW:

1. We have two 1,000 yard rushers.

2. We have a 1,000 yard WR.

3. We have a TE that gets 500+ receiving yards.

4. Our Defense will rank in the top 10 nationally at the end of the season.

5. Bo Nix loses his starting job in the Penn State game after throwing multiple INTs in the first half.

6. Finley leads us in a 2nd half come back win against Penn State.

7. Zakoby McClain wins SEC DPOY

8. Anders Carlson wins the Lou Groza award after only missing 1 FG all year.

9. Auburn only loses 2 games this season. Alabama and ...

10. Auburn makes it to the Playoffs but loses in the Semi-Finals against Iowa State.

[CameronCrazy 1,059]

MMW:

1. Auburn wins 10 games

2. Auburn wins in Baton Rouge for first  time since 1999.

3. Auburn wins its bowl game

Ok here it is from the originator of the Mark My Word thread.  Just FYI I have no problems with someone else starting it; in fact it’s nice to see that this tradition would live on even if I no longer posted on this board (I seldom post anyway, more of a lurker).  Between family, job, and a kid currently at Auburn, I’m a busy guy and don’t have a lot of time to hang out on the interwebs.

All that said, here we go:

Mark My Word:  This is the year that one of Saban’s disciples finally beats him.  Could be Kiffin or Fisher, maybe Kirby in the SECCG; in any case it happens.

Mark My Word:  Auburn beats Penn State and Georgia this year.  LSU too, but that’s too easy of a prediction.  

Mark My Word:  Next year I start the Mark My Word thread right after media days.  And I’ll go all Shaun Shivers helmet knocking on any person that beats me to it.  😎

[AUpreacherman22 3,885]

Mark my words…

We end the curse of Tiger Stadium.  We get the W in Baton Rouge!

Our defense is top 10!

We make it through the entire season without any games being postponed or cancelled due to Covid!

And for my boldest prediction of all…..We have one entire game thread/post game thread that does not turn into the same stupid argument about Bo.  

[SumterAubie 3,031]

MMW

The HC and DC will not test positive for the covid this year.

Derek Masons defense is exceptionally nasty.  With it, Auburn gets some ugly wins enroute to a 10-2 season

MMW

Florida State beats Notre Dame

UCLA beats LSU

I wanted to pick Fresno over Oregon and SJSU beats USC but I didn't want to get too crazy

[McLoofus 35,182]

I'm gonna try to remember to bump this thread each week just so it's easy for folks to see how the predictions are going.

Maybe you ordered too much tabasco, jalapeños and horseradish. Our sphincters were perfectly relaxed.

I was a Fg away on that FSU pick.  Fresno was almost there as well.  I don’t recall seeing the USC score but I think they won no problem.

-Worm has 1,300 AP yds including KO returns.

-We have 3 players with 7 or more sacks

-Anders Carlson sets a single season scoring record. 3 of those points will be a game winner from 50+. 

-Tony Fair plays his way into the 2nd round of the draft.

-Tank Bigsby has >27 receptions.

-We either lose or almost lose a game because of a botched long snap.

-We return more than one punt for a touchdown.

-Deal and JSS will be two of Harsin's favorite players on the team. They will be critical to the overall success of the offense. Fans will scream for more Frazier and King anyway. (Jk, nothing bold about this.)

Bump. 

I'm optimistic overall but I'm not feeling very good about these predictions lol.

Mark My Words:

AU will have a top 3 SEC defense in 21. ( PPG is only stat that matters)

AU offense will be improved overall and a TE will be our leader in TD receptions.

one of the 6 defensive transfers will be a 1st team All SEC player.

I am not as optimistic on some of mine either @McLoofusbut still holding out hope. I still think we can have a good defense if we adjust accordingly. I doubt TE leads in TDs. I still hold firmly on the defensive transfer.

I was only a week late.

[DAG 33,980]

I WANT MY DAMN PROPS ON TJ. The coaching staff gets a D- in my book.  Maybe this will be the momentum we need going in.
