And for a man without a functioning brain, he has accomplished a lot in his life. Has a NC ring as an asst, Couple of SEC titles, had the opportunity to coach a heisman winner and positively impact the lives of several young men. I don’t think there is an Auburn football fan that is overly happy about this season, but it is what it is. It’s really easy to stand tall when things are going well with the team you root for but there are times you gotta stand taller when things are not going as we hoped for. Some just to choose to support regardless of the situation. Does not make them brainless. Just their choice on how they wanna support the team. I respect your right to an opinion just like many others here, I enjoy seeing such a wide array of viewpoints which makes this board the best one on the net. 2012 was more entertaining than this team. At least I could laugh and laugh and laugh manically at how absolutely horrendous we were and all of us auburn fans could crack jokes together and make fun of ourselves. This years team? It just makes me angrier and angrier each game seeing so much talent wasted. AND YES! You got dang right I lose my wits about it. THIS. MAN. IS. SO. STUBBORN. 2014 and this year team will be the main reasons why I always despise Gus the football coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a grad student at Auburn in 1957 and also got to see them win another NC in 2010. I'm glad he didn't have to suffer through 2012; I think he knew it was time to go before that season kicked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He taught me everything I know about baseball and I was so happy they won a World Series before he passed. He wasn’t a big football fan but he loved baseball. Summer nights at my grandparents watching TBS and listening to Skip, Pete and Ernie...good memories. Heck yeah. Those were some dang good summers.

I can still probably spit out all if not most of the regular starters for the Braves from the time that I was 5 years old to 17 if I saw you in person. Watching the Braves was always our thing. He was actually an Alabama fan but not like an Updyke....more like a state of Alabama fan. My grandmother actually became an Auburn fan for me just because I was the only one in the family not an Alabama fan. Great people. Anyways, Braves eventually didn’t win tbe division, then they began to suck and it just got to where I was too busy with high school life for the Barves, so I dropped our thing on the weekends. My grand dad is still living at 96 but I am now 29 and live over three hours away. Even when I visit Florence every other month and we talk about the Braves, I still feel regret for stopping. That was a great era. My mom and grandmother were alive and well, I enjoyed working with my grand dad, etc. Anyways, find another significant thing to do with your dad. Even if it’s watching Dateline like I also used to do with Pop. You’re going to miss him one day and same old Auburn will still be there. Maybe tbe enjoyment of watching Auburn with your dad has more to do with him than Auburn. If you know what I mean. Good luck to your dad. Auburn will probably give me a heart attack at some point in my life, so I second OnThePlains. Totally agree Jeff, I am lucky enough to spend a lot of time around my dad, I see him at minimum 6 days a week. All week with work, we also usually have a happy hour on Friday’s, and usually have our good Sunday afternoon chat for a few hours. I am truly fortunate in that regard.

STUBBORN. 2014 and this year team will be the main reasons why I always despise Gus the football coach. I agree in some cases the talent has been mismanaged or not given an opportunity. The thing that irks me the most is the mistakes being made by upper classmen. In every loss there has been a major mistake by Stidham, Slayton, Dean, and R Davis. The team has not been waxed up and down the field (at least not yet) just a lot of errors and poor execution. Look at each loss and some of the mistakes made by the upper classmen could have easily changed the outcome of each game in Auburn’s favor.

Gus needs to make a splash hire with the OC with someone like Freeze or Kendal Briles. Gus will take a lot of flack with hiring either of these coaches, but needs to hold his ground with the hire. Before any of this can happen, Gus needs to win the TAMU game and have a good showing against UGA & turds. I honestly think that if we lose TAMU and the rest of our SEC schedule, Gus is gone. Time will tell this story no doubt. I really have no justification on my feelings but I would like to see a new strength and conditioning coach also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it would be better to not be drafted in the late rounds so you could pick where you go. Staying at Auburn does absolutely nothing for him. Just makes him look worse actually. If he makes it he makes it off his potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
