SLAG-91 1,496 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I thought about that after the game ended, too...well, hopefully the year ending in 6 will continue to be kind: 1986 Citrus: Auburn 16-7 over USC 1996 Independence: Auburn 32-29 over Army 2006 ????

CarolinaTiger 0 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 admittedly, i'm a pessimist borne of the 70s wrt auburn football, but i thought all along we (fans) were too confident about beating this bunch. you don't luck up and win 9 games, and they had a tremendous motivation in winning their beloved coach's last game. we had no such motivation, and regardless of how much we'd like for it not to matter, i think it does. war eagle anyway. ct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They served us our testicles on a platter today and made us like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderWhiskey 979 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 How's this for a trend?1985 Cotton Bowl: 36-16 loss to Texas A&M 1995 Outback Bowl: 43-14 loss to Penn State 2005 Citrus Bowl: 24-10 loss to Wis-flipping-consin. 208392[/snapback] The 1955 team lost 25-14 to Vanderbilt in the Gator Bowl. 1965 team lost 13-7 to Ole Miss in the Liberty Bowl. We didn't bowl in 1975. Thus we are 0-5 when bowling after a season ending in 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecy 3 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Aye, I hope this will teach some of the ppl around here to not take anybody likely, Auburn still doesn't have, imho, the maturity to handle big time spotlight. We won a few good games and we think we've made it. Thanks Wisconsin for waking us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
