I saw somebody post a scenario on social media that would be wild but is very unlikely to happen. It said Bama beats UGA. Texas beats Okie State. Iowa beats Michigan. Oregon beats Washington. Louisville beats Florida State.

That would leave Bama, UGA, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Florida State, Michigan and Ohio State all with 1 loss. 

There's head to heads between a few of those teams on that list but it would still be interesting. It won't ever happen though.

I've seen Bama back into either the old BCS or the playoffs with some crazy luck a few times. However, Michigan will beat Iowa - they are in. Florida St will crush Louisville - they are in. Texas, who beat Bama, will beat OK St - they are in. And the winner of Oregon - Washington is in. I think even if Bama beats Georgia they are #5 looking in. 

It sucks, but I think this is the bottom. I think even Alabama fans realize this. Saban is done soon and Auburn  will soon have talent that Auburn should have.  The closest Iron Bowl I can compare this to is 1997, when 3-8 Alabama played lights out in Jordan-Hare and should have won, but found a way to lose (stupidly called pass and fumble). This year, we were the bad team, and as bad teams often do - found a way to lose. 

Good morning and War Eagle. Freeze warning ahead. I look forward to Jimbo's blank stares as the fans leave the stands early today.

LOL no reason to whip out the Stanley meme! 

My Lord, Auburn fans have been living the Harsin effect as long as I can remember.  And that is no Mandela effect...

I hope the LSU 88 game is the only Earthquake game we ever play

Please for the love of God, don't make us play the backup!

 I can't help but love that Cadillac, Ronnie, & Jason are all part of Auburn football Saturdays. 

Yeah, they are three guys that have a enough money to do whatever they want. Cool that they choose to be here.

If this makes you feel any better: Freeze said a couple weeks ago, if they stack the box on us, we’re not even gonna try to run, we’re gonna throw the ball all over the field. Freeze went on to say: if they don’t stack the box, we’re going to run the ball.

Freeze: if they stack the box on us, we’re not even gonna try to run

Gus: if they stack the box on us, we're gonna run it right up the gut

Going to date myself on this one, but that helmet looks like an old typewriter font ball.

For laughs I went and checked out the 2013 AP pre-season poll and we did not receive a single vote. I guess we have 18x the chances of winning it all this year. 

This realignment sucks. Football you are talking about maybe 6 travel games a year, but damn all the other sports, those athletes are going to get worn out flying across the country constantly (referring to the Big 10). 

Evidently for PAC-10 games usually sections M through P are usually the visitors section. That area might be smaller for a team traveling from 2000 miles away. But everyone makes it abundantly clear that the stadium is usually half empty so get the cheapest ticket you can and sit anywhere.  

You're kite about that roach!

None of this makes any sense. I am all for a playoff, but the existing regular season scheduling, conference championships, and bowl games have got to go. Just stop with the bowl games having anything to do with the playoffs. And if the SEC or Big 10 is just going to keep purging the best teams from other conferences..what is the point? Why not just have those 2 play for our own championship and let the other has beens play for theirs. 

We will soon have more Birmingham Bowls than Sugar Bowls. Pass.

I wish we could get a coach that wasn't managed my Jimmy Sexton. Out of the gate, Kiffen will probably have an outrageous contract (I personally don't find his head coaching record anything special, and not worth 10 million dollars). Given Kiffen's history for hopping around, every two years we are going to have this Sexton bull**** on a platter of "pony up" while the rumos swirl. 

Auburn is like a battered woman, and Sexton knows he will get the most for the least out of Auburn.  Kiffen will go like 9-4 next year, and then pull a 10-3 and the cycle will start. Big raise...followed by a couple of 7-6 type years and 50 million dollar buy out. 

Rhett Lashlee would be the very Auburn thing to do.   I think this time the pressure is on to make a splashy non-controversial hire though.

 Love caddy, but this offensive game plan is really pathetic. 

Given that we have a QB that can't hit the side of a wall, I thought last nights game plan was the best thing I've seen all year. When something was working we kept using it, and we actually had some plays that were creative.

Western Kentucky is a losable game and Bama, well I would be shocked if we score a point. But I think the point is - if Harsin was here, we would have lost last night.

Week late to this thread, but are you using a recruiter at all? There are jobs that never even get posted that recruiting agencies fill (I know from how I found my way to my current job).

And are there any opportunties to work remotely (I'm not sure what one does in your field of study)? Can you apply nationally instead of just locally? 

All I can say is, be prepared for CRL - Coach Rhett Lashlee.  Auburn either can't or won't pull in a big name coach. 

Well, Georgia has been in the same position we are in.  They only beat Florida like twice in 15 years. Eventually these things work themselves out. However, nothing will change if we keep this guy around. 

First 25 minutes or so was a thing of beauty.  But we had all seen this song and dance before.  I think 90% of the AU faithful knew the outcome of that game when Ashford fumbled and they got 7. 

I'm sitting here watching the Texas A&M game on YouTube. Auburn game should be the same. Just go to youtube and google Texas A&M. It is like the 3rd video down. 

I have ESPN+ "free" through Verizon.  So of course, it doesn't have all the normal EPSN content, but it does show Auburn-LSU at 6:00.  It will most likely be the version like that I just watched with the Ole Miss-Kentucky game, which was with no announcers and is mainly from the overhead camera (live) but replays from the normal angles. Better than nothing.
