Coach knows his main purpose as the Auburn coach is to beat uat. War Eagle Coach Tuberville!, take care of the next one first. When you look at the SEC, we have to win every SEC game. Alabama is barely ahead of Ole Miss and Mississippi State in the West. We need to beat them for the recruiting benefit and keep them beat down; but, the big games are now LSU, ARK, GA, FLA, and TN. I'm with you. Let's take care of the game at hand and deal with Alabama when we get to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PChamp119 96 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I know we all want AU to win their next three games. But I'll take a win over Alabama if it means overlooking UGA - that's the only game I have cared about all year, especially since the Arky game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll take a win over Alabama if it means overlooking UGA - that's the only game I have cared about all year, especially since the Arky game i know i'll get thrashed for saying this but i can not believe there are fans that still think this way. i would rather take a 11 - 1 record, with a loss to bama than a 1 - 11 record, with a win over bama. people, we have moved on from the 70's, 80's and 90's, we are the better team. we have and will continue to be near the top as a national contender not the state contender.

aucanucktiger 1,798 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 True and I don't live in the state anymore, but when I lived there, the finger nails on chalkboard har-harring of Bammies if they beat us MADE it the most important game of the year. that is, I didn't run into UGA, Tenn or LSU fans on a daily basis.

I agree 11-1 would be better than 1-11.... but what I meant to say was... if we lose to UGA because we focused on Alabama, it wouldn't bother me. I'd rather see a UGA loss and a Bama win than the other way around. But of course I'd rather see AU win all 3. They can do it, but the way AU has been playing, the Bama game really worries me.

WarEagleFL 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I sure hope he doesn't think his main purpose at Auburn is to beat Alabama. Championships is where it's at. One game does not make a season. I don't live in Alabama but I can't see a football season being made(or ruined) by one game. Tuberville should realise that looking forward in this conference isn't a good idea. Look no further than the Arkansas game for evidence(although I think Arkansas is much better than we all thought) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecy 3 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I don't know where ya'll from, but if you bleed orange and blue, you should also have beating bama as your #1 priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Sanders 123 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Do you guys realize how much chaos Alabama fans will make if they beat us? Tuscaloosa will turn into hell.. Cars on fire, people shooting each other.. sex in the streets... For the sake of the state of Alabama, lets not let that happen.. That would be embarrasing. So lets roll into town with our thumb stuck high and kick some ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoAU 1,600 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 but what I meant to say was... if we lose to UGA because we focused on Alabama, it wouldn't bother me. Heck, if we loose to anyone this board goes into meltdown mode faster than if the moon turned blood red and the 4 riders of the apopcalypse started their ride.

CarolinaTiger 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 hey...i'm one of those "1-11 as long as it's bama" fans. and proud of it. one victory by bama over us, and they'll quickly forget the past 4 years. i want them fearing my pinky toe on the 2nd foot before they win again...

tigerfan1234 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 First priority of any Auburn team is to field young men who are good role models on and off the field. Good students and people who are going to be successful in life. #2 Shoot for a national title #3 Compete for SEC championships #4 Beat Bama The Bama obssesion by some of the older fans, while understandable, has gotten old. I enjoy a good Auburn beatdown on Bama just like you, but to say the #1 priority of any Auburn football team is to beat Bama is just plain dumb. Beating Bama gets you squat these days.

I do agree with #1, but after that it should be #1b. Beat uat #2. Compete for the SECC #3. Go for the gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU-Alabama rivalry doesn't even get near the same hype as it used to. I'm a proud "older" fan that would rather beat Bama than anything. To me that is the #1 priority. Yes, I too am proud we don't have thugs on the field. That we have good role models. And I am very proud when my husband, a very staunch Alabama fan, told his very staunch Alabama fan brother in law that Auburn was the best SEC team, no question. It is wonderful that we're possibly going for the SEC title, and maybe, just maybe, the national title. But at the least, we're highly ranked. But you know, all of that pales, to beating SPUAT. I so enjoy lording a win over them for a year. They react so badly. It makes life good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerfan1234 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I just mean to point out that Beating Bama in anything should not be the sole priority of why Auburn exists. I believe we sometimes sell ourselves short because we seem to gage all of our self-worth by what Bama does and by trying to beat Bama in everything. Auburn is better than that. I love to beat Bama just like all of you, but I would take losing to Bama in favor of winning SEC titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaTiger 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I love to beat Bama just like all of you, but I would take losing to Bama in favor of winning SEC titles. these types of statements are meaningless (notice how i avoided calling what you wrote 'plain dumb'?). how many times do we stand to win the SEC because we to lose to bama? none. is Slive gonna call up Tubby at the beginning of the season and say, "Hey coach, here's your choices for the season...Beating Bama, or Winning the SEC...which do you want?" of course not. beating bama and winning the SEC are NOT opposing goals. SO, when it comes down to the scenario where i need to pull for a BAMA victory over AUBURN in order for AUBURN to win the SEC, then i'll sit down with my brother and sister, my mom and my wife, and my kids, and we'll carefully weigh the ramifications of each choice and then choose. we'll choose the victory over bama, btw. everytime.

I have never seen the level of insanity among fans as we have unfortunately witnessed this season. is teetering with a top 5 national ranking and by some of the posts on Auburn boards, one would think the Tigers were playing .500 ball or worse.

tigerfan1234 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 You can most definitely lose to Bama and win the SEC title. That was the premise of my argument. 11-1 with a loss to Bama is one hell of a season in my book. Last year, we beat Bama, but got trounced in the bowl and ended the season on a low. Meanwhile Bama got trounced by us, but beat a good Texas Tech team and finished the season on a high. Also, they were ranked ahead of us in the final poll. Given the choice, I would rather have been in Bama's position last year with the way things played out. That is what I am saying. My #1-#4 are meant to be a barometer for the season. At the beginning of the season all 119 teams sit in their locker roomes and guage how good they think they are. All teams realistic or not think they are title caliber teams in the beginning. Shooting for the national title is the primary goal because that is the pinnacle of college football. Obviously it is not likely, but you have to shoot for it or what's the point of suiting up? The SEC title is alot more realistic and that's why I put it above Bama. Beating Bama is great, but we have beaten Bama many times and gotten squat for it except for state pride. I would rather be known as a national program which is highly competitive and respected. If losing to Bama is the tradeoff, I would take it.
