Title: Fox Sports picks us to go 3-9

Go through their week to week predictions, some of them are quite interesting

Out of 10,000 simulations, the computer has Auburn losing to La Tech 80% of the time by an average score of 23-15. I wonder how accurate WhatIfSports' computer has been in the past?

We seem to do better when we are counted out, so as far as I am concerned, all the experts can predict we will lose every game. I just wish once we would take advantage of a pre-season high ranking and meet the expectations for that season. Maybe CGC can eventually do something about that.

This kind of thinking makes me physically ill.  And no, Ranger, it's not directed solely at you.  Others share this same sentiment. 

Fuck being the underdog and the come-from-behind kid.  I'd rather be the bully on the block who kicks ass and takes names. I'd rather be expected to win everything every year because you start out higher at the beginning and don't fall as far when you lose a couple (USC, Florida, Texas, etc.)

How'd being the underdog work out in 2004?  Yeah we won some games, but we were so far down the list to start that nothing we could do would get us over the hump. 

"I like being the underdog, I like being counted out, I like flying under the radar"  Every bit of it is LOSER talk.  And I hate it. 


And BZZZ?  Laughing at the prospect of losing to La. Tech like it could never happen?  Bad karma for one, completely wrong for another.  We don't know what we've got.  We have anything like the clusterfucks Chizik fielded at ISU -- and please spare me the talent and population comparisons -- and losing isn't only possible, it's likely.

We finally agree on something outright.  The wanting to be the underdog or we do better as an underdog mentality comes from the older generation.  My folks and the like.  They had been kept down and kicked so long, that was the only mentality they could remember and take solace in.  I grew up thinking that way as well but I had an epiphany in late 90's and realized that I personally was not going to be the shrinking violet Auburn fan that so many of us had become.  I'm gonna be the guy wearing biker boots kicking the fucking door in throwing CS gas.

Would there be any amount of losses that would justify to you, firing a coach after one year?

If we went 3 - 9, there would be significant doubt in everyone.  I would give him one more year, and if we did not win at least 8 -9 games in 2010 he should be fired.

A complete 0-fer might do it.  That would have to be coupled with a total sideline meltdown and lack of any cohesiveness.

It would have to be an epic fail, the likes of which have never been seen.

If he only wins 3, or Zero, I'll drive the black hummer limo to Auburn, pick him up to take him on a Tiger Prowl visit at a new HS...located inside the Airport.  Maybe we don't have a lot of depth and talent in EVERY positon, but we certainly have enough to do SOME damage somewhere...even if it's the bottomfeeders..  I'm okay with that under the circumstances this year.

I don't see this happening though.  I think we're at the point where nobody knows anything.  Especially the media.  One writer, or outlet, tv report starts mimicking the other.  It's become fashionable and the expectation that Auburn will suck this year, so they all maintain the same theme.  No real reasons other than what they've read and seen from someone else doing the same thing.  Part of having a staff that NOBODY has a clue about.

Now, if after this year, we're mediocre and the same "Auburn sucks" reports come out AFTER this year, then fuck'n A.

I'm in complete and total standbye mode, while just being excited for Auburn Football and everything that goes with it.

3-9 would leave the distinct taste of ass in my mouth (For the first time).  I would want Chizik and staff gone, quickly.  I guess I'm in a different camp when it comes to the talent level on this team.  While I agree that our depth is very suspect at a couple of positions, I truly believe that our front line guys are big time players.  I still hold that QB play and injuries are the whole key.  

At the end of last year, my biggest beef was that there were no playmakers with the exception of maybe Mario Fannin.  I don't think that's the case anymore with the addition of guys like McCalebb and Blake and Benton etc.  I've also argued several times that a huge number of guys on this team are the same ones that 2 years ago, went to the Swamp and kicked ass, lost on a last second pass at LSU and beat Bama and Clemson to close the season.  The same group picked to win the SEC last year.  Last year was cluster fuck of epic proportions but the front line talent is here.  3-9 would be totally and completely unacceptable.

The chizik clown posse is expecting to lose this year and expecting it to be a regular thing. That is why they have constantly harped that they have talented players and that there is no depth due to the fact that they have not got enough scholly players.
Fuck them and their self serving lying asses. If the previous administration didn't recruuit and leave them any talent why pray tell do they wish they had left them any more untalented players?
MalZ is smoke and mirrors as an OC. We all know the history of our DC and the world beating establishments he has ran.
3-9 would be no better nor worse than chizik's best season ever.
I say fire him at the first opportunity.

You're wrong about people "knowing things" 

I just don't get that part of your position.  Yes, people DO know things.  People who've watched practices, talked to players, talked to coaches, seen clips, etc.  They DO know things.  They know things based on their experience, based on what they see and based on what they hear. 

People in the media don't just sit around and wait to heat what Chris Fowler says so they can say the same thing.  As a general rule, people in that business want more than anything to be right and to be first.  They're not typically going to parrot something somebody else says unless they have a reason to.

It's easy to point out the times when the media is wrong.  Lou Holtz predicts Notre Dame to play for the NC every year until they lose their fourth game of the season.  But for every loony Lou Holtz prediction the guys who watch the games and really know what's going on get it right 90% of the time.

For the record? I just wrote.  It's on the front page. I'm NOT okay with three wins this season.  I'm NOT okay with beating up on bottomfeeders.  Not at all.

Agree to disagree then.  I've seen way too many cookie cutter, no depth articles that make me feel the way I do.  Sorry.   As far as people "knowing" things?  I just don't believe until this staff does ANYTHING on the field, or displays ability during certain game situations, that anyone can "know" anything.  JMO...again.

Good front page, by the way.  As for the media, I think they're as much in the dark about this team as any of us.  First, Chizik has pretty much closed off practices since his arrival so there's very little first hand accounting.  Second, Chizik has quickly become the King of boilerplate Coachspeak.  He says nothing.  His assistants are a little more open but they really don't say much either as far as giving us a guage on where this team is.  Also, player interviews are never going to be anything more than, "We're ready to get after it."  "We're tired of hitting each other...blah, blah, blah".

Was the media collectively wrong in 08'?  With regard to winning the SEC, I think they were, but understandably.  No reason to think otherwise or that Auburn would at least be a player.  My problem with the media is how did they go from winning the SEC to zero talent.  The two don't mesh at all.  Has anyone in the media done their homework and truly broken down the reasons for the 08' debacle?  I've seen very little of that and it appears that all of a sudden, Auburn is in this deep crevace of despair and it's going to take years of rebuilding to climb out of it.  I'm not all roses, rainbows, unicorns and all that.  I think Bama has quickly vaulted themselves to the top of the pile with 2-3 years of killer recruiting hauls.  But, I also think Auburn should be a factor in the West race and a couple of recruiting classes away from the same stature.

In ten years in the SEC he has a roughly .500 winning percentage.   A large percentage of those wins came against OM/MSU/Vandy.

He punked our ass at some critical moments in our history. 

He did a good job recruiting decent talent to one of the most difficult places to recruit in the SEC. He's got a .500 record which is better than most in the league.

I wouldn't want him at Auburn because he coaches from emotion.  Emotional guys will occasionally win big games, but they'll also lose a lot of small ones. 

I've always hated playing teams that thrive on emotion.  If they ever get up on you, they'll beat you like a rented mule.  You can get blown out (which is what they did to us with Fred Talley, etc. ).  Conversely, if you take them out of the game just a little, you can own them.

No, he didn't.  He is the laziest recruiter in the SEC.  McFadden/Jones (Matt and Felix)/etc fell into his lap because they WANTED to play at UA.

But I have to agree with the poster who said you can't have it both ways. You can't pick a team to win the West and then turn around and call them lacking in talent. We have the talent up front.

Ahh,  woopig.net  - the experts.

HDN has some annoying habits, but he knows some football.  I am glad we have Petrino, but everyone expecting Ole Miss to fall on their faces is probably going to be disappointed.

BTW, I said earlier and still believe Auburn wins 7 if they stay healthy.

I don't understand this article predicting 'bama to go 12-1.  I just don't see it.  I think they lose at least 4, starting with the opener.

The current line on the Iron Bowl (Sportsbook.com) is Auburn +5.  They don't list and O/U for total wins, but if they did I think it would be much higher than 3.

Alabama will not go 12-1. I think they will drop three, the opener w Va Tech, lsu, and then to some mystery guest.

Their defense will be as good as any around, no way around that....but there will more than one hitch in that offense.

Now I'm not going to talk about Chizik, cause quite frankly I'm pretty phuking sick of talking about him. We know what we know...the record...the rhetortic...etc. The only thing that remains, and of any interest, is what we don't know. That, we find out shortly.

But I have to agree with the poster who said you can't have it both ways. You can't pick a team to win the West and then turn around and call them lacking in talent. We have the talent up front.

And if you think talent can't be coached by morons...let me direct you to Baton Rouge, LA.

3-9. Horsemanure.

I shall extend a hearty welcome to you and a Jumbo sized fisting to your dog.  I see the Kaos influence is strong in this one.  Let your Chizik hatred go....let it go.....

At least until after Saturday night.  Anything less than a country ass whoopin' and I won't be satisfied.

Oh, and fellow Jonesian here.

The chizik clown posse is expecting to lose this year and expecting it to be a regular thing.
That is why they have constantly harped that they have (no) talented players and that there is no depth due to the fact that they have not got enough scholly players.
 
Fuck them and their self serving lying asses.

If the previous administration didn't recruuit and leave them enough players on scholarship without any talent why pray tell do they wish they had left them any more untalented players?

MalZ is smoke and mirrors as an OC. We all know the history of our DC and the world beating establishments he has ran.

3-9 would be no better nor worse than chizik's best season ever. Except that this time he is in charge of Auburn, and we don't play that shit here.


I say fire him at the first opportunity.


For those who unfortunately read this last night I apologize. I had just been with good friends toasting the memory of a damn fine friend who left behind a couple of wonderful kids and a true lady of a wife. I was drunk, too drunk and emotional to be posting on here or anywhere.
Hell I wrote it and it didn't make sense to me.
The untimely death of a friend and the start of the football season with a moron at the helm is just more than I could stand last night.
Soon the pain of a friends death will go away and chizik and his clown troupe will get into their elongated coach mobile and leave Auburn to repair their damage.
Life will one day be good again.
Again I apologize for sounding like prowler trying to post an original thought last night.

This kind of thinking makes me physically ill.  And no, Ranger, it's not directed solely at you.  Others share this same sentiment. 

phuk being the underdog and the come-from-behind kid.  I'd rather be the bully on the block who kicks ass and takes names. I'd rather be expected to win everything every year because you start out higher at the beginning and don't fall as far when you lose a couple (USC, Florida, Texas, etc.)

How'd being the underdog work out in 2004?  Yeah we won some games, but we were so far down the list to start that nothing we could do would get us over the hump. 

"I like being the underdog, I like being counted out, I like flying under the radar"  Every bit of it is LOSER talk.  And I hate it. 


And BZZZ?  Laughing at the prospect of losing to La. Tech like it could never happen?  Bad karma for one, completely wrong for another.  We don't know what we've got.  We have anything like the clusterphuks Chizik fielded at ISU -- and please spare me the talent and population comparisons -- and losing isn't only possible, it's likely. 

You misunderstand me a little. I didn't say I like it being like that, which is why I concluded by saying I hope CGC could change that bad habit we seem to have of underachieving when we are predicted to be a contender. I thought that last part would have made it clear that I don't like being the underdog all the time.

I would rather be the big dog that everybody is gunning for every year also. However, given last year's debacle, what some "expert" predicts us to do this year really should not matter much at all. Like I said, in the past we have did well when counted out, so I say lets just do it again.

So yes or no? Auburn is going to win zero more games the rest of the season? If the answer's no, then why make the original statement, let alone drag this into another Kevin's rhetorical battle for all-knowing supremecy argument? Why not just say, "Nah, I was just kidding." Fact is, you're wrong about 90% of the things you've stated as fact in the calendar year of 2009. The things that anyone who dare disagree clearly have the cognitive ability of a retarded rhesus monkey. A little humility after being so embarrassingly wrong about your flagship stance would do you good. Just keep on touting how you're more evolved than the rest of us, though. How you have a third eye for seeing the future. We'll keep laughing at the homeless guy with a bullhorn screaming about the end of the world. We'll laugh when he tells us we're ignorant, and insane.

I wasn't "kidding" and wasn't "baiting" here at all. I rarely do either.

So go ahead. Have the last word, then 25 more posts in which you attempt to convolve the facts of what actually took place. Mark this as a win in your record books.

Look I know I'm new here, but can I just say once how fucking irritating it is to click on this gd thread thinking someone has something interesting to say, or at least funny, just to find more of this shit going on?
