According to many Auburn Fans we sucked this year??? I think we had a very good year. If you finish with 11 wins and in the top 10 that is a pretty good year. Yes we lost to Arky and the Dawgs but we did beat the National Champ Florida Gators.

It's not that we just lost....it's we got stomped....I can live with a loss if it's a hard fought game.but....well you know...it was bad, both, especially the UGA one.I'll take 11-2 with a bowl win any day.I'm looking for a little more toughness from the new year.That's what I guess I would wish for more than anything for next year is to ..ONE.. finish a game don't let them stay in it or score easily just because we're ahead and TWO...simply play tougher.

I was a great year. There are things that I can complain about, but why, the only people that want to hear me or anyone else complain are the people paid to listen to them.

It was a good year. Let's use this year to learn, not only the players but the fans. The games are played for a reason, i.e. Arky and UGA. Let's not be lackluster next year and attend those games in strong fashion. Maybe more fans in the stands will help our brothers on the field be more pumped like the UF and LSU games.

WAR EAGLE!!!!
