Erik81 0 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I didn't think that he would allow this to go on too long. It would do nothing but get his team's attention off VT. If he did then he would be using it as a means to a different contract. Besides this is the same LSU whose fans called his wife an "Auburn whore" while he needed a swat team just to get on the team bus-I'm sure he is real interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longtrainn 2 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 It's actually a "diamond in the rough" job. A lot of people don't think of it as that great, but you can win here, and win big, as has been proven recently. If you count '93, we should have 6 SEC titles in the last 22 years. We had legitimate chances at 4 NCs in that period as well. ('83 for all intents and purposes we did win it, '93 we were the only major undefeated, '88 if we stop LSU on 4th down, we play ND and beat them for the NC, and of course there's this year). There's a lot of potential here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,456 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 No doubt that AU is one of the BEST jobs in the country and one of the top in the SEC. The only schools that are close in the SEC are FL & TN. WAR EAGLE ! ! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were a power before the Bahr...which was obviously before some of you were born...but I was 8 and a HUGE Auburn fan in 1957! And we had some very good teams before and after that!

Dyebama 2 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 your right Auburn was a power before that..I mainly remember the Barfield years and remember our pain and suffering over the 9 year drought vs Bama..It was Dye who returned us to the Promise Land...I guess that was what i ment to say...sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadillacattack 0 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 In the spirit of fairness and balance, it was also Dye that landed AU on probation and brought us the midget. Dye had his high moments, and he's definitely had his low ones. Dye deserves little, if any, credit for today's Auburn successes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the younger of us ( I used to be one) remember those Barfield years like a bad dream. I'll tell you a story.... In about 1973 or so, I lived on Long Island (NY), and I was dating the NY State HS Baton Twirling Champion. She got a scholarship to Memphis (State) and off she went. I wanted to go home (at the time) to Huntsville, Alabama...and I got my brother to get us AU/MEMPHIS STATE tickets. My plan you see, was to surprise my little baton twirling honey at the game...and my plan worked perfectly. The configuration of JHS at the time allowed me to be looking down from not so very far up, as the Memphis band came marching into the stadium, with my sweetheart twirling and leading the way! I yelled down at her, she heard me, looked up and gave me the biggest, prettiest, most STUNNED smile that you ever saw!!! I, of course, was supposed to be over a thousand miles away!!! I sat with her after half time, confident that a team with Brooks, Cribbs, and Andrews could beat lowly Memphis State. I had to sit there with my baby and watch as we fumbled SIX TIMES and lost that game. My honey was very sympathetic, but I could tell that she was also ecstatic over the upset win. I couldn't blame her. All she'd ever heard from me was Auburn this, and Auburn that. Anyway, it was one of the coolest things that I ever did for a girl. And no, I didn't marry her. I let her get away and marry some lawyer in Memphis. But it all worked out for the best...I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,482 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Weren't Cribbs, Brooks, and Andrews at Auburn from '77-'80? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG-91 1,483 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Cribbs '76-'79 Andrews '76-'78 Brooks '77-'80 We played Memphis State in Auburn in 1975, Shug Jordan's last season...we lost that game and the one played in Memphis in 1976. Still a nice story, though. My biggest memory of Barfield is him being the butt of many a wisecrack at my elementary school...his last team (1980) was winless in conference play...the only time that's happened since 1952.
