Title: Chickenzik?
Post by: BAMAPERRY on April 15, 2009, 11:37:38 AM
Auburn vetoes game

Efforts to match UCLA in a nationally televised game against Auburn to open the 2010 season fell apart when Auburn officials decided against the matchup, which was to be played in the Georgia Dome.

ABC was attempting to broker a deal for the game, which would have replaced one against Kansas State on the Bruins' schedule.

UCLA was offered a game against Georgia Tech instead but declined.

I would have liked to seen this as well, but here is a question that I have........Why in the hell the Ga Dome?  Atlanta is a piece of shit to drive in, especially on a game day, or at least it is in my opinion.  If they want to play why not JHS and then we can go out there the next year or vice versa?  I thought the Clemson/bammie game last year at the Ga Dome was a shitty idea as well.  If bammie truly wanted to play them, then why not play them at home where they could get the revenue for it?  Vice Versa for Clemson as well.

I would like some more info on this to know why this was turned down by Auburn. Was this supposed to replace an already scheduled game? Is that slot still open on our 2010 schedule? WTF?

And GW, don't fag this thread up. We know what you're going to say. Chizik is a relatively small part of "Auburn Officials".

I'd like to know too.  UT and UCLA have been playing.  Bama had a series with them some years back.  An SEC/PAC10 matchup like that would be the tits.

I know the answer, let me relish in this for a moment...Ahhhhhh...feels good...

The reason we declined this game is because we already play a big out of conference game that year against Clemson.  We did not want to play two big out of conference games in one year.  Unless its a  :bowl: game.

Sounds like this is 100% Jay Jacobs's call. The consensus is that Chizik wanted this game. Can we get rid of Jacobs yet?

Seriously.  I can see no problems arising from playing UCLA on national TV.  Do recruits and fans want to read about how Auburn did against La. Tech or watch Auburn play a traditional PAC 10 foe in prime time?  Would Auburn make more money and get more exposure by playing Furman...or UCLA?

On the same argument though, don't we play a tough enough schedule as it is?

Yeah, no shit. Other than the obvious, this cost Auburn a buttload.

Having to pay the cupcake somewhere around $500k, then having a virtual home game in Atlanta, while not having to pay the overhead at the home stadium (consession workers, security, power, etc.)

By all accounts, we should win that game. UCLA certainly doesn't scare me. And we're not talking this coming year. This will be Chizik's second year. All the kinks should be ironed out by then.

I love love LOOOOve the way this is being spun by certain morons on here.
Have I not been preaching that this is the way things are being ran at Auburn now? Is this not further proof that mediocrity is the new standard chizik and jacobs and company are hoping for?
I have a great idea!! Lets give them a chance to see what they can do!! It can only be good!!
I hope those of you who support them and those who adopted a wait and see attitude are happy.

The rest of us... the Auburn supporters and family are upset and quite embarassed by this whole situation.
Get off your asses and make some phone calls to the University and the board.

Let them know that this bullshit situation has gotten out of hand.

Tommy Tuberville brought a shitload full of criticism down on Auburn for being signed on and immediately canceling the opening game with FSU for the next year.  He had his reasons and as much as I liked him as a coach, that was one hell of a clusterfuck decision.  I don't know what the reasoning is behind this decision and don't know who's behind it, but I would like to know.

On the surface, I think myself and many others are intrigued about the possibility of this matchup.  But let's get all the facts before we tar and feather someone for the decision.
Title: Re: Chickenzik?
Post by: AuburnChopper 3.0 on April 15, 2009, 05:56:26 PM
The decision was primarily a decision to not give up the revenue's lost by losing a home game that's already on the schedule.  The invite has been extended to UCLA to fill an open slot on the 2012 schedule. 

I'd love to see us play UCLA, but I can also see a large loss in a budget that's probably already been raked over and set for a while.

JMO....

Post by: Greaseyweasel on April 15, 2009, 06:44:02 PM
Oh so to play a huge hyped early season made for maximum tv exposure semi bowl game in Atlanta would completely wreck a season and finances that a home game against Arky St. would save.
I agree whole heartedly. It is much better to beat a patsy at home (and on pay per view)than play a monster (with huge TV revenue and exposure to recruits) game. 
Last year bama was supposed to be bitch slapped in this game and instead began a hell of a run. They gave up a minor home game to play in it.
They are expanding their stadium.
The excuse given by JJ (and chopper, prowly and company) is pure lying chickenshit and everyone knows it.

This is a serious embarassment for Auburn.

But we should be used to that since December.

Did I comment on the subject?  NOPE....I would Love to see Auburn play UCLA, just like I loved watching Auburn play USC.  It would be huge from the TV revenue standpoint and would give Auburn more exposure to the recruits.  But, from the City of Auburn's standpoint, they'd lose out bigtime.  I'm not sure what kind of revenue a home game brings for the City, but I'm pretty sure it's Huge.  Maybe, they can rethink their decision, because if not I'm sure uat would love to jump into that time slot.

I was in Arkansas today.  Sports radio there was ridiculing Auburn, basically saying the program was afraid to play a major opponent and expose Chizik to the potential for further ridicule.  Saying AU fans were stupid and would rather beat Dillburg Technical College than risk losing a game to a half-decent opponent. Because a win would look better for both Chiz and Jacobs.  They said they couldn't think of another reason to decline to play in a game designed to give the program national exposure.

So when the truth about what the people who hired chizik think of his abilities has been  laid out with no way to see it for anything than the actual truth you choose to swollow the lie (again) and post a recipe instead of admitting we got fucked.

What other SEC team has two big name OOC teams on their schedule in one season?

Bammers pointing the finger like they'll play anyone anywhere anytime is humorous, since they (just like every other SEC team) only schedules one big OOC game a year...

Has UF played an OOC game outside of their own state this century? That seems to be enough for them to make it to the NC.

I don't know about that......Dillburg Tech has 5 star guy coming in at tailback and their QB was All-Conference, they have two corners that will easily go mid 2nd to 3rd round, an All-American type linebacker....DBC is no effing joke, the look alot like the University of South Florida in 2007.

Joking aside,

First obvious reason that comes to my mind not to play a west coast team in the GA dome, can Auburn fans buy up 80k tickets? Cause California is not a 3-4 hour drive to Atlanta as say South Carolina(Clemson). With that said, UCLA might bring 5k fans. Yeah, a GA dome game with about 2/3's full isn't really going to pull in viewers on the TV.  

Welcome to the year 2009.......people need to grow the 'f' up. Last time I checked, UGA and Georgia Tech don't play Auburn in Columbus or Atlanta every year and split the revenue anymore.....UT doesn't demand to play the away game against Auburn in Montgomery anymore, Auburn doesn't have to play at Legion Field in B'ham anymore. Auburn has 'earned' the right to demand  home and home as the condition of any potential matchup with any school in the country. And some fools want to go back to the 'glory' days of playing 'big name' opponents in a different city?  I wouldn't mind seeing the Varsity/JV/Freshman teams splitting up, allowing some hellaish glorified scrimages against anybody/anywhere. That would last about four seasons and then nobody would give a damn that the Freshman team was going to play at South Bend or Happy Valley or Los Angeles, it just become a scrimage and nobody would travel to see it.

To elaborate on this point that was largely ignored, here's the "offical" word on this:

http://blog.al.com/auburnbeat/2009/04/jay_jacobs_on_ucla_scheduling.html (http://blog.al.com/auburnbeat/2009/04/jay_jacobs_on_ucla_scheduling.html)

Quote

Auburn turned down an overture to play UCLA in 2010 because its non-conference schedule was already booked, Athletic Director Jay Jacobs said.

The Los Angeles Times first reported Wednesday that UCLA had sought a matchup against Auburn in the Georgia Dome to open the 2010 season. The game would have been televised by ABC.
 

Auburn would have had to ditch one of its four non-conference opponents already on the schedule. The Tigers are slated to play Arkansas State, Louisiana-Monroe, Chattanooga and Clemson in 2010. Auburn hosts Clemson Sept. 18, 2010 in Week 3 and will travel to Clemson in 2011. The game against Arkansas State on Sept. 4, 2010 is the season opener.

Jacobs typically tries to schedule one upper-level BCS opponent each year. The next opening would be 2012.

"We were contacted to see if we had an opening on our 2010 schedule and we did not," Jacobs said. "Our schedule had already been completed and contracts had been executed for the 2010 season, but we welcome the opportunity to talk about future schedules with UCLA and other BCS conference schools."

My understanding is Jacobs tried to schedule this for 2012 and UCLA declined...

This game was not a regularly scheduled event. this is an ESPN invention to try to get 2 name teams to match up in the dead cess pool of early season. Its not scheduled 2 years in advance it is worth way more in prestige and money to the program as a whole to have taken the game and ditched tea bagging a bunch of nobody's.
This game is basically a mini bowl game played by invitation only in a game with major exposure that can make or break a season depending on how you do.
It was a chance for Auburn to stand up and impress some recruits, gain national exposure, do away with the same weak schedule bull crap that led to us having no hope of cracking the Oklahoma/USC matchup for a national championship. To set this one out is a sign of both stupidity and chicken shittedness.

I hope you can now see what JJ and chizik & company are.
Its time to clean out the house and start over. This season is almost guaranteed to be a complete wash and waste so now is the time to do it.
This whole situation just proves more and more that I am right and I hope it is making more of you able to see it.

No I would have given them just a little respect for thinking they were at least willing to put their asses on the line.
But then again there is nothing to respect.
So let me ask a few straight up questions: In your humble opinion is this actually a financial move as stated or an act of cowardice?
Does it make you stop and wonder about the hire and the faith in the hire by those who made the hire?
And was the decision to pass on playing this huge gamein order to not have to cancel a projected rout in the long term (or short term for that matter) best interest of the Auburn University Football program?

     Can someone please explain why it is cowardly to basically say, hey man, we're booked up in 2010, how about we do it in 2012?  Scheduling is usually done way in advance, it has only been with the addition of the 12th game that these regional matchups at alternate sites started popping up.  I'm not sure if they're good or bad.  We start playing Texas A&M in the Cowboy's new stadium next year, and the only real benefit I see is in recruiting.  I'm not sure I see where Auburn gains anything in recruiting by playing a game in Atlanta.  Maybe if you could line something up in Tampa or Orlando it would be worth it.

No I would have given them just a little respect for thinking they were at least willing to put their asses on the line.
But then again there is nothing to respect.
So let me ask a few straight up questions: In your humble opinion is this actually a financial move as stated or an act of cowardice?
I think it's not as much either as it is that we're simply booked up for the season following this upcoming one. We wanted to do it in 2012. NO ONE in the SEC plays two big OOC games a year. No one. Unless maybe it's by shear chance that a team stepped into the spotlight between the time the game was scheduled and the actual gameday.

Finebaum was going on and on about "Well, the problem is Saban wouldn't do this. In his second year, they came and asked if Alabama wanted to step up and play Clemson, and you know what? They weren't afraid of Clemson. They stepped up and whipped em and went on to a fantastic season, and blah blah blah..." Hey Paul. Guess what. WE'RE PLAYING CLEMSON IN THIS SEASON YOU'RE DIRECTLY COMPARING US TO. Clemson was their ONE big OOC game that year. Take them off the schedule and what's the next biggest one? Tulane? Paul went on and on about how SEC teams do in fact schedule more than one big OOC game in one year, yet failed to site ONE team that has done this. I would like to know of one in the last 5 years (since the SEC found the winning formula for the MNC). This has absolutely zero to do with Chizik being "scared of Clemson". 1) It appears that it was not Chizik's call 2) He's PLAYING CLEMSON that year and 3) It has everything to do with the fact that we already have a marquee OOC game next year, but we need one for 2012. UCLA and the Georgia Dome turned this down.

Does it make you stop and wonder about the hire and the faith in the hire by those who made the hire?
This is a Finebaum formulated theory. A stretch to say the least. Which is it? Chizik is scared, or Jacobs has no faith in Chizik and wouldn't let him play the game? Or maybe, just maybe, it has everything to do with the fact that we have a big OOC game that year and needed to play that game in 2012 instead.

And was the decision to pass on playing this huge gamein order to not have to cancel a projected rout in the long term (or short term for that matter) best interest of the Auburn University Football program?
This is debatable. I certainly don't think it's necessary, but as a fan, of course I'd love to see it. Again, no one else is playing 2 OOC games, so why is Auburn being held to this standard that no other team in the SEC is?

Finebaum's a mommy part as well as anyone who quotes anything from him.

Having to pay the cupcake somewhere around $500k,
You guys are paying Arkansas St. $1 million to come to AU and play. I don't think they're worried about cost when scheduling OOC.

Are they still called the Indians or did they wuss out like everyone else and bow to the politically correct wackos.  Are they the Tigercats or some shit?

By the way, I just saw an article where the students at Brown University are pushing to have the school name changed because the founder or his brother was a slave owner.  They already had "Columbus Day" changed to "Fall Day" because of the same type shit. 

Hijack attempt completed.
