Yeah I would agree that would have been better. Institution is a blanket statement across the entire school, academics included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying our school is a loser institution because of the results on the football field is ridiculous. What about the school itself? Do you only care about Auburn for the sports? It’s just not a smart statement to make. Too many people put too much emphasis on the performance of the football team. Yes it’s a high value sport but it’s a still a sport for fun. I always make fun of Bammers who judge their life on the performance of the football team because that’s the best thing they got going. I hate to see Auburn folks act the same way. I was in Phoenix and I was in Pasadena and my favorite stories from those games weren’t the football games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well any time we have competent competition , the whole squad seems to just lose all perception of being a power 5 team including the coaches. It’s a culture thing.

DAG 33,983 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The money thing is killing me. Quite frankly to me it is about risk and reward. It is one thing if we were still performing from an offense stand point or recruiting was high but that is not the case. We are going backwards quickly .

Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Truthfully AU shouldn’t go to any bowl this year. Fans won’t be able to go, team and coaches really haven’t earned one. So got safety’s sake we should just play next week and call 2020 a wrap and start worrying about finding a real coach to start next year with.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Auburn is now in the same league with Vandy. We have fallen so far down in just 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully to Beasley 643 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Unfortunately Gustavo is not going anywhere this year. I am afraid we have at least one more season of watching him "coach". 😡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True sooner or latter we become like Arky or Vandy and figure if we just make a bowl every other year then we are good. We have just about reached that point now.
