auburn4ever 1,266 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 This has been the worst season since Chizik last year (2012) when he went 3-9 overall and 0-8 in the SEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Ends when we start winning again. No one wants to watch Auburn limp their way through games. That is not entertaining football to neutral fans. Sure....we win more games and we move to later in the day....but JMO, the networks that get AU as one of their early games are the winners. AU is historically a very good TV draw especially when slotted against the usual early games....note that this on CBS. The team may be underachieving but they still play entertaining football, they have a loyal following.... and unlike some of the other lower ranked teams in the SEC, they are not going to put fans to sleep.

That is not entertaining football to neutral fans. Bingo. We stink and Georgia stinks. And as bad as UGA is this year, Richt will find a way to beat us - probably by 2 or 3 TDs. Sorry for the pessimism but we always lose to Georgia unless we have an elite team and we are just a bad team right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msza 228 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Apparently watching us limp against good teams is very interesting to someone. http://thefutoncriti...20151101espn01/ We were the most streamed game of the week on WatchESPN. We were the third most watched game of the week for any time slot. We were the highest rated noon kickoff of the college season. Ratings like that are the reason CBS wasn't letting us go. This was nice to read, thanks. I guess it was a pretty slow week, but I am rather surprised we rated so highly-- OM's profile has risen in recent years but they aren't exactly a national darling. I tend to forget how nationally recognizable the AU brand is, especially with the two recent NC appearances. Hate to say it, though, but I wonder if Bama's off-week helped to boost our numbers -- a lot of Bammer's with nothing better to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Internet has done a lot of good, but the fact that it has given a forum to wack-jobs to claim whatever pops into their head as truth, and given instant, anonymous access so that anyone can whine and moan to people in authority are definitely not high on the benefits list.

Just curious who you consider the top 5 ADs in the country among the Power 5 schools? JMO but I bet most AU fans could not even name 5 ADs anywhere in the US....good, bad or otherwise. And without doing research, who were the 3 ADs who preceded JJ? I know / knew one of them personally many years ago and he sure was no genius.

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,662 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 How do you quantify worst ADs out of all the programs in the nation? He's not in the upper echelon sure, or even good, but I don't think he's bottom 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
