Another wasted thread........

This thread is messed up.

Auburn was dang close, I mean dang close to a 3 win season last year, but early in the season their defense was regarded as one of the best. Fall camp was crap last year and well let's not go back down this road.

Auburn has turned it around this season and they'll look better. We have to keep an eye on those injuries though. Anything better than 5 wins will be agreat season for AU this year. There's hardly an AU fan that I know that wouldn't take a 7 win season right now if you offered it to them.

We were also dang close to a 10-win season. I don't see how everyone is predicting a 3 or 5 win season. You weren't here to experience the turmoil of the coaching staff last season, so I can't expect you to understand how dysfunctional we were last year. Any small improvement in coaching, and we could've won as many as 10 games. We may sink back down to 5-7, but I think we'll get 6 wins MINIMUM. It doesn't make sense to be predicting these things right now though, especially with so many changes. So give the Auburn prediction threads a rest. PLEASE. (Even if you're predicting 9 or 10 wins for us, don't.)

As many as 10?

Take our 5 wins and add:

L LSU 26-21 ---- Only 5 points
L Vandy 14-13 ---- Only 1 point
L Arkansas 25-22 ---- Only 3 points
L Ole Miss 17-7 ---- Only 10 points
L UGA 17-13 ---- Only 4 points

That's 5 games, lost by a combined 23 points. Even if you don't like Ole Miss being in there, make it as many as 9 wins. 9 games by a combined 13 points. We weren't very far from having a VERY good record......

I guess its the way you look at it.Auburn was awful close to being 3-9 too....

MSU 2 AU 3
UT 12 AU 14

The fact that this team was able to win 5 games last year and stay close in most of the others is nothing short of amazing considering all the behind the scenes dysfunction going on in the coaching staff. Everyone know knows just how divided this staff really was. Everyone also know knows that even though Tuberville was let go a few months ago, he really gave up as far back as 2007. I think that fact that we one a single game last season is a small miracle.

I hate to say Auburn will do better that 3 wins wins.

I'd say 5-7 wins

Auburn was beat late in the game last year, kinda like what Bama's teams were like in '03 - '07. We lacked depth. I think Tubby slacked off his last few years in recruiting and the quality depth isn't there. Look for them to wear down in games again this year, against the better teams.

Agreed thats exactly what ive told some friends at work.AU right now is in kinda the same shape Bama was in past years.Talent in spots no depth.

Man, I'm ready for the season to start. Anybody got an extra WVU ticket?

I might have one extra ticket if you agree to wear one of these to the game....



And one of these as well.....



and these pants....

I wore my AU family fun day shirt the other day. No chance on the hat and those ultra ....... well ugly pants. A Ben Tate Jersey is another story.

yo 73.......whats you guys OL looking like?

Starting lineup is solid, the problem here (like many other areas) is depth. If we stay healthy (long shot in the SEC) we should be OK. If we get some key injuries.......
