I see you (Auburn) hiding in the weeds. Thoughts on Iron Bowl 2023

[The Ols]

I've seen some stinkers and I've seen some gems:

Stinkers:
Southern Miss (82)
Lousiana Monroe
Northern Illinois
Couple in the 04(I think?) season including LSU (w/Saban)
Ole Miss at BDS w/Freeze
IB 2019 when Mac threw 6 touchdown passes; unfortunately 2 of them the Barners (ugh!)

Greats:
Va Tech in Atl
Missouri in Atl
Ohio State in Citrus (Barker's last game)
LSU w/Fournette
#1 Miss St w/Prescott
Southern Miss w/Prothro's catch behind the DB's head

GREATEST:
2012 SEC Championship when we slammed heads with them for 59 minutes and 48 or so seconds before they ran out of time on a completed pass. Last game with my son and maybe one of the 5 or 10 greatest of all time that I've seen live or on TV.

We will win convincingly Saturday so I don't think it will be among the greats. I truly believe we'll go in focused and deal them misery from start to finish.

Isn’t that the game where Aaron Murray got his clock cleaned after throwing a pick? Lolololol….He’s still bitter and still hurting from that hit!!!

Q would be soooo kicked out of that game by today’s flag football standards…

It is and today it would be considered a blindside block with targeting thrown in for good measure. It was a jaw rattler for sure! One of many that were made by both sides that day. Jesse Williams probably ruined his chance at a longer pro career that day with his heroics at the nose.

I scored tix to the LSU game and have never witnessed a Bama loss at BDS.

Basically you should always send your tickets to me.

or me. I have never witnessed a loss in any Alabama game, no matter the stadium.

I can’t afford to send you ticket money for 15 games a year @DzynKingRTR.

 

[Ole Man Dan]

If Alabama can't beat this Auburn team, they sure as heck aren't beating them in a few years when Freeze actually has talent on the team.

I agree that Alabama should take Auburn seriously. I disagree that Alabama tends to not take Auburn as seriously as AU does them, though that is impossible to measure. In fact, IMO, Saban tends to get a bit “tight” in the AU game because he wants it so bad. Of course, the team reflects that. IMO, that is the primary reason that Alabama sometimes struggles vs AU when they shouldn't, not only in JH but in BDS too. Hopefully, Bryce's heroics in '21 broke AU's spirit a little. That was about as gut-wrenching a loss as a mediocre team could suffer.

IMO, AU's overall success in JH is a myth but that "Alabama doesn't care as much as AU" is also a myth. They care for different reasons but Alabama and its players care VERY much, almost too much. In 2016 in BDS, the TO averse, incredibly jittery, "cool" Jalen Hurts threw 2 of his 9 ints and fumbled twice, both recovered by Alabama and almost fumbled a couple of other times - just had trouble catching good snaps in the shotgun he was so nervous. Bama outgained them 500-180 but won just 30-12, 13-10 at the half. In 2017 Jalen and the entire team became more than discombobulated in JH, it was embarrassing to see them implode, something Alabama almost never does. All because of nerves at the thought of losing to AU. Jalen probably reflected CNS more than any other player he's had. The light-hearted Tua never had problems with AU, he put up 50+ on them in his only game vs them. It would have been interesting to see him play in JH, which he never did. Saban couldn't affect him.

I have generally thought Auburn comes out and plays on adrenaline/emotion. I wish we could match them in that. Then talent would be the difference.

Moo.

Hugh Freeze fears Auburn is in a 'fog' as it preps for Alabama: 'Our staff had a lot of heart-to-hearts'

 

[92tide]

i hope those heart to hearts are different than the ones freeze's staff uses with the escorts

 

[BamaMoon]

I'd have trouble going if somebody gave me tickets, but I hope to see a lot of Crimson in the stands Saturday. I hope some Bama faithful are buying up some scared barner's tickets that don't want to see Bama clean Auburn's clock!

So basically, in essence, what the reverend is saying is that they really had a prayer meeting.

Or even worse insert the "D" word?!?!

Why would you damn yourself???

And FWIW, why do some Bama fans do that to RTR???

Lack of class / decorum.

Just like using the word "Natty". It's like fingernails on a chalk board.

And the meeting ended with a consensus they have no prayer in Jordan-Hare.
