But if a turd win is what's best for the kids who actually play football for Auburn, then you're damned right that's the result I'm hoping for. It did happen at some point in this era... 2006 or 2007, maybe?... when we needed LSU to lose to them to get to Atlanta. I remember a fairly one sided debate on here about it. Most people hoped LSU would win even though it would keep us from competing for an SEC championship. I'll never get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you buddy!! 100% If it helps us, and our players, IDGAD what happens with them. That is them!! I care about the boys who suit up for AU each week. The ones who risk life, and limb for AU. Guys like Jeremiah Dinson!! That kid has my respect from now until the freaking cows come home!! Even if they don't, I will dance at that boys wedding!!!

Their fanbase would erupt. Either way, the Fields sweepstakes seems to be between FSU and UGA with us in a reasonable distant third. Those two have a sophomore QB and we have a guy that could likely be outta here if he performs to expectations. It seems like if Fields is to have it his way, he'd commit within the the next couple months. FSU and UGA have it harder than us in that time span We are not a distant 3rd. AU is in drivers seat what we will do with it remains to be seen. FSU has closed the gap. Like I have said had we had success offensively these past 2 years he would already be committed.

NoALtiger 3,873 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I don't think the FSU v Turds outcome will have any impact personally. It's never quite that simple and clear cut. It's a UGA/FSU battle to me and while the good guys certainly have a chance, I think our odds are longer. Still staying with my Fields to UGA prediction.

corchjay 5,311 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 No reason to worry. Bama will destroy FSU on in Atlanta. It'll be like 80 percent bammer fans there and FSU's defense is shaky at best. Bama will beat them 31-13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumterAubie 3,033 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I have no quandary here. I will pull for FSU to drub bamr. Cause whatever good will FSU gains with Fields, if they win, will be negated after our beloved Auburn Tigers stomp the 'number 2' out of Clemson.

That's never a good situation for a team going against a bammer team with a month to prepare. I just think bammers O will be just ok early in the season therefore I think Saban plays it conservative.

I think we will make a much bigger splash with media and prospects by beating Clemson in Clemson than bama playing a shakey FSU squad. Isn't Clemson the last team to beat the turds? Oh yeah.....I almost forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUIH1 1,515 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 The mere fact that some are wanting FSU to struggle against spuat in the hopes that it might make Fields pick us is sad and embarrassing. Given the way our offense has been coordinated in 2015 and 2016 and our QBs have been developed since Gus has been our OC and HC, then Fields has every right to be cautious when it comes to us. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samau 110 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Do I want Justin Fields? Yes! But I never pull for the Terds. I also do not think it really will effect JF decision. As long as we score a lot of points and have a lot of passing yards I am trusting the insiders here saying we will get Fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert or insider, but I think the threat of JS leaving after 1 year are way exaggerated. The kid had all of 3-4 starts under his belt. Even with an awesome year, NFL execs are going to want to see more than 15 or 16 starts before they commit millions of dollars. Cam Newton is an obvious exception, but you can count on one hand the number of QBs in the league with less than 2 years of game experience. I seriously doubt that JS will be a one and done player for us. I see him bringing some stability at the QB position that we have not had in a good while. I think Gatewood and Willis will be the QBs of the future. This position has been the missing link to having double digit win seasons. I think a 10-2 season is very doable and could be even better.

Bo Duke 49 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 FSU V. Bama will have less to do with JF's decision, than our result v. Clemson. He may really be considering uga, but it will be silly on his part. They don't have an OL built for RPO, nor do they have any QB's currently who can run such an Offense. Exactly what are they going to show him? We all watched Eason last year. He can't outrun me, much less an SEC pass rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au_bsci_04 407 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 UGA is the in-state and fam pick, IMO he's doing what he needs to do if he ends up going somewhere else. UA/FSU and AU/CU won't play much factor in decision based on W-L, both top 15 matchups, he's looking for improvement and utilization in the O.
