Worst Academic Year For Auburn Athletics of All Time?
« on: February 22, 2013, 10:02:44 AM »
I'd really like to know.

Football: 3-9, 0fer in the SEC
Basketball: So far, 9-17, 3-10 in the SEC (but hey, we beat Bama & LSU)

There appears to be hope the baseball season to not be a complete abortion starting out 4-0. However, looking at Maine's schedule/results from last year, it does not appear that they are a juggernaut.

And now, after winning 16 straight SEC Swimming championships in a row, that streak may very well be snapped...

Auburn men fall into second place on third day of SEC swimming championships
Joel A. Erickson on February 21, 2013 at 11:28 PM

The Auburn men always knew they were going to fall behind on the third day of the SEC Swimming and Diving Championships.

The question is whether or not the Tigers have enough left to come back.

Florida rode its depth in the 400 individual medley and the 200 free to 748 points, far ahead of Auburn's 630.5 as the Tigers try to defend their run of 16 straight SEC titles.

Auburn got a third-place finish from diver John Santieu, but the Tigers have a lot of work to do with a few of their own deepest events coming up in the final two days. Auburn's a deep team both in the sprints and on the relays, places the Tigers may be able to make up points.

"Our best two days are ahead of us," Auburn head coach Brett Hawke said. "We knew we were going to have to hold on and fight the first three days."

Santieu's performance came up big for the Tigers, because Florida struggles in the diving events and Auburn needs to keep accumulating points before the final two days.

"He had his highest-difficulty dive, an inward 3 ½, for the last dive, and he needed it for the finish," diving coach Jeff Shaffer said. "He stepped up and did a great job."

On the women's side, Auburn got a second-place finish from Olivia Scott in the 100 butterfly, a performance that helped the Tigers move into fifth place in the standings.

Your title is misleading.  I was anticipating some sort of sociology/SACS story.

Academic Year = September-May.

The only real way to segment years in college sports since many sports span two years.

Yeah, me too. I was debating about opening anything that pertained to academia horseshit. People should go to school in the SEC for the right reasons (i.e. football, equestrian and swimming) and not fret the books and stuff. You can read in the nursing home.

Seriously though, how can the University President, the BOT & the PTB look at the state of our Athletic Department and say that the Ath Director is doing a good job?

Since 1964, 5 SEC programs have gone winless in football AND finished last place in men's basketball. Auburn's No. 6 if it loses Saturday
