doc4aday 1,887 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I would welcome a game with Clemson. It is about time we kicked their rear end and make Dodo cry on the sidelines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 If it is just a one game "series" it will end up being someone like Wake Forest....gotta find a Power Five team..but someone that's a pushover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does that t need to be a pushover. Perfect opportunity to go grab a home and home with someone who worth playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,747 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 ^Because in the SEC, we need any easy win we can get. Every time we play a major non-conference game, we either end up for the fight of our lives, or completely choke. For crying out loud, our NC team almost lost at home to a 6-7 Clemson squad.

For crying out loud, our NC team almost lost at home to a 6-7 Clemson squad. eff that. Let's go compete. Are we scared of playing someone else decent? If we can't beat a good team in the regular season what makes you think we'd do so if we even got into the playoff? We're the SEC. If we're as big and bad as we think we are then we ought to be able to take on anyone. We've got four non conference games a year. Surely we can afford to challenge ourselves once out of those four. If all we do is take on the bottom feeders in these other conferences then the committee will hold that against us and it could cost us a playoff spot.

TigerNBham 3 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 For the money we pay for tickets and the new agenda of picking the final four, we ought to play TWO quality opponents each year. That would allow for one good at home and one on he road. For travel money's sake, start out with a 500 mile radius from Atlanta Eliminate any named Clemson, or, FSU and see who wants to play I would really like a long term West Coast game too.

Check the travel costs for those west coast games....makes no sense to me to spend that money when good competition is all around is....and the Cal series? Can't see the benefit of that.

Mikey 16,565 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Cal is simply a different name from what we're used to seeing. Swap Cal for a much better Ga. Tech program and the howling would be off the charts. Some don't really want better competition, they want something bright, shiny and new to toss around.

Since Cal doesn't do it for you, how about another series with USC or maybe UCLA. Oregon would be a quality game in a cool place. Let's go to OSU or Michigan. We can play quality opponents and get a good trip out of it at the same time. Some people are afraid to break out of their little cocoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUcivE09 582 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Personally I would like to play AZ St or AZ. And not just because of the girls. Ok. Because of the girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I wish the series with Clemson in 2016 and 2017 would be called off. It's time for Jay Jacobs to want to see us to play someone other than Clemson all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,818 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I think we should avoid playing teams from the southeast because thats what we do in-conference. Give the fans something fresh, give Auburn somewhat of a presence outside of the region, and give the players something a little extra to be pumped about. We play Clemson more than we play Florida and the Gators are actually in our damn conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I read like on futurefootballschedules.com that we have a 1 game schedule with Mercer at Jordan-Hare for Nov. 18, 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Why not play South Florida or UCLA for 2 games instead of playing Clemson again. BTW, other than Louisville Sept. 5th, our other non conference games in 2015 are against Jacksonville State on Sept. 12h, Idaho on Sept. 19th and San Jose State on Oct. 3rd.

Tigermike 3,022 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 A home & home with Texas, then Nebraska, then Michigan would be great. Throw in Colorado just because. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooltigger21 0 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I hope the series with Cal will be played as scheduled. It hasn't been cancelled only pushed back by one year. It actually works better for Auburn because they get the away game in the odd year and the home game in the even year. It also opens up the possibility of getting a home and home with another good program in 2018 and 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I wonder if UCLA has any open dates for 2018 and 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
