I'd love to see Auburn upset Georgia, but I don't think it will happen, not this year, anyway.

As for Bama losing three games and Saban riding off into the sunset, if that happens you couldn't tickle me anymore if you stuck a feather up my a$$.

MMW- Auburn will lead the nation in KR and PR yards. 

MMW- Auburn will have the best kicker in the league who will miss an easy one early but then bat a thousand throughout the rest of the season

 

 

Battie says he hears you loud and clear and agrees.   Li'l bro Carlson hit a 57 yarder yesterday and big bro upped him a few hours later with a 62.

My mom is about to turn 85 and she screams louder than anyone for AU!   At Thanksgiving the whole family used to gather at her and her 2 sisters "old home place" in Henry Co Alabama.  It had an out house and a "smokehouse."

With a root cellar and mule barn she would be high society in the country

Fifty, in case you see this, the "smokehouse" was all about preserving protein, nothing more, nothing less😀

i spent a short whileup on sand mountain close to snead crossroads. we ran a country store that had an old white wooden church behind it. they had the first three seater i ever saw. taking a potty with two other fellows could get rough is my thinking. it will shock folks but i used to help lead the choir. i was a good kid. not sure what happened..........lol

mmw when Auburn scores their first touchdown saturday you willbe able to hear the crowd as far away as east glenn ave. i know this for a fact because we would listen on the radio and you could here them erupt!. wonderful times for me.

Yes. Raised in Abbeville. Lived on Columbia road just south of town. Like that you can call out Capps Station. Next you will be name dropping Graball. My mother (88) still lives in our home place.

Mark My Word - Auburn will beat 1 of Alabama or Georgia

Mark My Word - Auburn will finally stop playing down to their competition and blow out / beat the teams they are supposed to and not get blown out by the top teams.  Auburn should be in every game this season going into the 4th quarter.

[AUBwins 10,088]

MMW:

Both newcomers in SEC next year finish 1 and 2 in the final year in Big12.

Big 12 is the first conference to reach 20 teams

Not for long, as SEC brings in 4 more teams from ACC.

My guy, Fairweather, is one of the (2) thousand yard receivers this year!!

Jarquez finishes with over 1300 yards rushing. 

Payton Thorne has a better year than any QB Bama throws out there. 

Caleb Williams snubs the NFL for his final collegiate season once he sees the Cardinals have the first pick from the most blatant tank job ever. He makes more money in college than he would as an NFL rookie. 

This is actually the year.  Bo Nix wins the Heisman.  Thorne is in the conversation in November. 

Oh and Kentucky beats Georgia but not win the East for choking against Tennessee and maybe South Carolina.

MMW:

Auburn is much improved on 3rd and long defense, but struggles to stop the run consistently 
Georgia loses at home to Kentucky
Florida loses to South Carolina and Arkansas
Vandy upsets Tennessee to end the year

AU goes to a bowl and, as usual, faces a team having a season of a lifetime, or playing over their heads for a coach who is retiring, but this time we win anyway.

Forgot my bowl prediction

Wife's Family is from Nixon's Chapel-Douglas-Horton.

[DKW 86 7,446]

MMW, we finish with 9 wins, but have a midseason slump, finish strong.

We beat or scare the crap out of bama. bama doesn't play for a title.

We solidly take over 3rd in the West. 

Freeze discovers he and his staff really like the AU Fanbase.

UGA discovers that Stetson Bennett really was the shiznitts.

I've thought about this one for a while now:

Mark My Word - Auburn will have two 1000-yard rushers this year, and NEITHER will be Jarquez Hunter.

Mark My Word.

Although initially a very long shot, this doesn't look completely impossible after yesterday.  I was afraid Jarquez Hunter might be held out for a while.
