rbrigby 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Can anyone find the preseason bold predictions thread now that the season is over?

Eagle Eye 7 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I didn't post in it, but I was hoping for a bowl Game. I know Gus would make improvements, but didn't know How much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwillaub 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I said 7 regular season wins and a bowl win for 8 total victories. Glad I was wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluk 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 :clap: Mark My Word... Auburn upsets TaM Mark My Word... Alabama after losing so much talent does a worse job of "reloading" and doesnt get their lucky break to get to the BCS championship game. Mark My Word... Someone outside of the SEC brings home the last BCS Championship trophy. I hope i'm wrong but there you have it Mark My Word: Auburn wins 10 games in the regular season and will play in a BCS bowl. We will end the 2013 season at 11-2 in coach Malzahn's 1st year. Mark MY Word: Auburn beats Texas A&M Mark My Word: Auburn beats Georgia Mark My Word: Auburn is in top 3 in Offense and top 5 in Defense in SEC this year. Mark My Word: Auburn beats LSU or Bama this year. Mark My Word: SEC does not WIN National Championship this year. Mark my words. Our offense is going to be a force this year. Nick Marshall will remind a lot of AU fans of one of the current AU offensive coaches when he played for the Orange and Blue with his performances this year. Our defensive corners will up the interception rate this year, Throwing against us will be more costly for the opposing teams. Carl Lawson will be a force by the end of the year, as will Montravious Adams. Our Running Backs will remind us of the Caddie Williams and Ronnie Brown days.

Charleston Tiger 134 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I thought this was for next year already. I was about to be racking my brain as to why we'd be doing this before even seeing our signing class or Spring practice. I said 8-4 regular season, win bowl game. EDIT: I was 1 of 4. Close to 3 of 4. Ol Clowney never came close. Mark My Words: Auburn will finish the season with at least 9 wins. Mark My Words: Auburn defense will be in the top half of SEC rushing defense. Mark My Words: Carolina will win the SEC. Mark My Words: Clowney will lead the nation in sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheartkc 6,150 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Mark MY Word: Steve Clark will WIN the Ray Guy Award (should have... he certainly earned in in the last 3 games) Mark MY Word: Arkansas will have the worst record in the SEC (pretty much... Kentucky was slightly worse) Mark MY Word: By the end of the season, everyone will be talking about how Lawson is better than Clowney (He didn't get that far, but I bet he will be as good as or better in the long run) Mark MY Word: Prosch plays himself into a first round NFL pick (probably not, but he was the man) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,830 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I thought 6 wins would have been good for this team. Doubling the win total from last year would've been awesome in itself. Anybody who says they thought this season was coming was throwing feces against the wall and hoping it stuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leglessdan 1,934 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I predicted an 8-9 win season. ..hoping for 10. These kids and this staff did an amazing job this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHeal 4 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Frankly.... 1 in a million.... just really had a good feeling after Coach Dye eerily cautioned everyone about 2012, but thought good was to come next (this) year. Wishing... hoping... predicting 12-2 with a win over the tusca-bad-loosers... one regular season loss and another in a big bowl... just because don't feel this will be a really really big of year. and Verified Member Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image 1,020 posts Wash St = W Ark st = W Miss St = W LSU = L ? possible upset and we win Ol Miss = W ? W. Car = W T A&M = W I think Manziel won't be playing Fla. atl. = W Ark = W ? Tenn = W Ga = W ? Ala = L ? 10-2 is my prediction However there are 5 games that could go either way. Worst I believe is 7-5 best is 11-1. Almost impossible to go undefeated. Who has a best as 11-1? if you're gonna go that far go all in I did... My reasoning being a loss to LSU (in LSU) might reinvigorate this team... getting them to double down, instead of deflating or imploding. And schedule wise next up is a bye week before Old Miss, then W. Carolina, a possible Johnny less Texas A&M, and Florida Atlantic to build upon before getting back to 2 SEC road games (AR & TN)... then Georgia in Auburn.. and the final bye week before those Bad'loosers in Jordan-Hare.

CJBas 4 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Can anyone find the preseason bold predictions thread now that the season is over? I would be curious to go back through everyones thoughts, including my own, to see how accurate we all were regarding this season and our team. Oh yeah, War Eegle everyone, IT'S GREAT TO BE AN AUBURN TIGER! I was way off. I wasn't expecting nearly so good a season, yet.But I was dead on about one thing: I did say I expected everyone involved with Auburn's program this year (2013) would be doing the very best they could, and that would be very pleasant after the previous two seasons.

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I predicted we'd lead the SEC in rushing! Think that was accomplished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,178 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 As you have seen in some of the threads I was close but only because I was a coward and gave a range of possibilities. Next year I will act like the Auburn football team and be brave and make a one size fits all prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cehuff21 0 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I'm gonna start my predictions early so here we go: MARK MY WORDS: Auburn will rematch Florida State in 2014 National Championship and be victorious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnMisfit 0 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I get how people laugh about outrageous predictions and call it blatant homerism and delusional optimism, but after this 2013 season, there will be the "Auburn" pick where someone predicts a team to recreate what AU did in 2013. No one will be laughing about that. Thank God for college football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,762 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Who has a best as 11-1 indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchyfish 67 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I thought we could pull a 2010 with Malzahn back. Didn't expect the rain in Louisiana nor the last second upset loss in Bowl. Regardless I think you can all settle in and get used to (spoiled by) constant 10+ win seasons for a while. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
