TheBlueVue 177 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I agree its a relatively fair assessment but, personally, I doubt their assessment would be any different if Auburn's 2010 team was playing the game. Those 2 guys have struggled over the years giving Auburn any respect even when they deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigersauburn217 2 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Completely agree. This season is just like 2009, we are beating the Mississippi schools and lose the games against teams that are still better. I'm not taking anything away from what Gus has done thus far, but is beating the Mississippi schools what it takes to be considered a top team these days? What happened to judging Auburn by beating Top 10-15 teams? Until we beat an LSU/Bama/UGA or perhaps a Texas A&M, this program is no different than it was in 2007/2009/2011... see a trend? 2013 will be just like those seasons relative to the talent we beat.

Not complaining, just the facts. You're a real Mr. Sunshine aren't you? You have no way to know if we'll beat the highly ranked teams that remain on our schedule or not. I'm not conceding them, mainly because this Auburn team shows a lot more fight than some from previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not complaining, just the facts. Was it the 3-9 record last year that led you to believe we were in a position to beat LSU, Tx A&M, GA and Bama? We're 5-1 and most reasonable AU fans I know are thrilled with that. We basically spotted LSU 21 but the team NEVER QUIT and kept grinding. Last years team would have lost that game 60-7. Obviously, all AU fans want to win every game but anyone realistic understands that a Championship team isn't built in a year. We have to beat the MS teams before we can expect to beat the others. Yea, I see a trend, I see AU playing hard, they are fun to watch again, they don't quit and we have what seems like a 'class act' coach. And the other trend I see is AU's record in 2009, Gus's first year as OC was 8-5 and we know what happened in 2010. The other trend I see is most AU fans would have been satisfied with an 8-5 record and a team that doesn't quit before the season started. We have a long way to go but 8-5 is withing reach and who knows maybe we beat one of the big 3 left on the schedule. All I know, is I look forward to watching AU play.

Not complaining, just the facts. I'm sorry, but its a fact already that we can't beat anyone but the Mississippi schools? We are 5-1 with a good chance to knock off a top 10 team on thr road. Barring a monsoon and a first road start in the bayou, we outplayed LSU for 3/4 of that game. THOSE ARE THE FACTS, NOT OPINION OF THE REST OF THE SEASON WITH NO MERIT....... Do me a favor and don't quote your opinion as fact. Your opinion is simply that...an opinion....and it stinks. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,805 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 On the one hand, in our one loss (and despite the cluster that was the LSU game) we were in position at the end to come within a TD & on-side kick vs a top 10 team on the road. Before self-destructing. On the other hand, Miss State and Wash State were closer than some folks here seem to recall. IMHO, unless we have key injuries and/or turnovers, this road game against (another) top 10 team will shed more light on where we are than anything Reece Davis has between his ears.

Not complaining, just the facts. To be fair, in 2007, we did go to UF and knock off the undefeated, #4 Gators. We just had meltdowns against MSU, USF, UGA & LSU. I agree with 2009 & 2011.

Not complaining, just the facts. This is ridiculous. Auburn is having a fantastic season. The difference between this year's team and last is beyond remarkable. You're in your first season under a new head coach in the toughest conference in history...and you went 3-9 last year. Alabama went 7-6 it's first year under Nick Saban. This season, what you want to see, is improvement at every position and gradual movement in the right direction. And I think you've gotten that in spades. Frankly, I'd prefer my team do that instead of being a one hit wonder flash in the pan type turnaround only to be crestfallen the next year. Building a solid team that peforms year in and year out takes time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps wait until the end of the year before declaring this season just another wash, geez. Also, we never finished 3-9 the season before '07, '09, or '11.
