Dixie1860 27 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 This NEEDS to look different in 5 years, i.e. Auburn, bama, LSU, FL, thUGA and USCe and yes I think A&M are in there. I'm not buying into the ole miss propoganda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronCrazy 1,104 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 We are 1-4 against Alabama, LSU, and Georgia the past 5 years. This has GOT to change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,777 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Guys, five years is catching Auburn at a bad time. Those five years include two seasons after which the head coach was let go. Going into last season, over ten years Auburn had more SEC wins than any other team in the SEC west. It ain't all that bad, it's just that the 5 year timeframe is unfortunate for Auburn.

Going into last season, over ten years Auburn had more SEC wins than any other team in the SEC west. It ain't all that bad, it's just that the 5 year timeframe is unfortunate for Auburn. It's pretty damn bad, IMO. Let's go back 10 (TEN) years and take a look.AU's record vs our main rival teams that we play EVERY year: from 2003-2012 vs Arky 5-5 vs LSU 3-7 vs UGA 3-7 vs UAT 6-4 We have a winning record against one of these teams in the last 10 yrs - just so happens the one team we have a winning record against in the last decade is the one team that most AU folks seem more focused on than the others that have kicked our ass. (LSU/UGA) I've been posting/preaching for years that Auburn people should be a whole lot more concerned and focused on LSU/UGA and even Arky and stop whining and worrying about what UAT & Saban are doing 24-7.

aubaseball 2,673 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I understand your point about focusing on other teams besides Bama. But, if we are doing everything we can to beat Bama and this happens. All the rest will fall into place. Because if you are beating Bama (right now), that means you have a strong team and will most likely beat the other teams as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,833 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yes its a bad specific 5 year period we are looking at, however a recruit's memory and 'tradition' of a program is pretty much capped at 5 years. None of these recruits these days care about Ronnie Brown or Cadillac Williams and other greats that make up Auburn's recent tradition. The incoming class of recruits would have been right around 9 years old during the 2004 season. In short, this is bad for recruiting and just overall bad that Auburn has slipped this far. We are EXTREMELY fortunate that we have a BCS National Championship/Heisman in very recent memory and that Cam Newton is a prominent figure that you can find in the media.

Because if you are beating Bama (right now), that means you have a strong team and will most likely beat the other teams as well. All too many times people can't see the forrest for the trees. When you go 0'fer in the SEC - the focus should be on beating the little guys (MSU/OM/Vandy) first, then take Arky, then on to LSU/UAT/UGA. This program hit the bottom of the mountain about 2-3 months ago - it makes more sense to climb back up and face each foe you come up against than to focus on the guys that are perched at the top of the mountain. Of course, that's just one fans perspective. I'm nothing more than a arm-chair spectator that hates like hell to see the AU fanbase knash their teeth over UAT/Saban all the time when clowns like Les Miles and Mark Richt have caused our program more damage and humiliation over the last 10 yrs.

AUwent 3,778 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 ^^This. I remember when losing to Georgia by 22 points was considered humiliating. Then the next year, they beat us by 25. Three years later, by 38, and the next year by 38 again. At this point I care more about the Georgia rivalry than the Bama rivalry. During the 5 years before this frame, we had an SEC record of 32-9--the second best record in the SEC (besides LSU). Basically, Tubs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Chizik (w/o Malzahn).

PCBAuburnaFan 1 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Guys there's a reason Chizik is gone, don't go into panic mode over what the guy we just got rid of did. Auburn will rise to the top of the SEC for a few years and we'll be back down again, it's the way it is. Look at Alabama the 5 years before Dick Satan got there.
