I view it slightly differently. They beat Alabama with 1 second to go in the game with Watson. If the teams switched QBs, Alabama beats Clemson by 40. Yes, Watson was the difference maker, but Clemson was not Alabama's equal everywhere else. Not even close. Watson just made up for their other deficiencies. When Watson played like a regular QB (making some plays, but also making some mistakes) in the first and second quarters, Alabama built a lead. Once Watson started clicking, the entire Clemson team fed on his play.But that is why you gotta hand it to Clemson. They were the only team in America that physically matched up with us...so all things being equal otherwise, it came down to 2-time Heisman runner up QB v. True Freshman QB.
While I agree with your post, I wish they would make it back for the rubber match with an experienced Jalen Hurts!Once Watson started clicking, the entire Clemson team fed on his play.
Watson, like last year, was the Clemson team. They will be a decent team next year, but they will not be a playoff contender.
JT was a very good QB under Herman, and he has regressed since Herman left. Wilson comes in with a great reputation as a play caller and a developer of QBs. So, we will run a slightly different offense next season (though it will build off of Meyer's RPO), we will return 4 offensive linemen, we will return our receivers, and we will have Wilson at OC. I think that we will be much better offensively.With that hot take, I'm curious as to what your thoughts on OSU will be next year considering Barrett will be your qb?
Dub, most of us around here like you as a poster, but we don't like anything about Auburn. No way you can make us feel "OK" with Toomers getting rolled because Bama lost.30 likely drunk college kids roll the trees and people have a conniption over it.
And y'all don't act like there wouldn't be Bama fans celebrating were the roles reversed. Heck only three years ago I got very familiar with "nole tide" and "roll tribe roll," and "roll ducks roll" three years before that.
Have you seen the video and the pictures? 30 is a pretty generous estimate.30? LOL
Difficult to do. They're not exactly in the heart of campus. They're at the intersection of College and Magnolia on the corner of campus.If auhurn people can't be responsible with trees and toilet paper, why not restrict access so that you can only get there when Auburn does something of note?
"erhmagerd, some stupid, drunk, college aged (emphasis!) barners rolled the trees. Unforgivable! Little bro! Never pulling for any other SEC school again! Sankey should cut them out of the conference bowl revenue!"Dub, most of us around here like you as a poster, but we don't like anything about Auburn. No way you can make us feel "OK" with Toomers getting rolled because Bama lost.
It's an "Auburn tradition" for when yall win (that nobody here understands), but not for when we lose. That's the difference...much more so than Bama fans rooting for FSU or Oregon.
You are right to be embarrrassed about what those college kids did...you should be...but don't try to justify it to us.
The barn will forever more be known as the SEC team that broke the streak. Roll Tide!
Haha. I'm thrilled!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
(*wheeeeeeezzzzzze*)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And that was a reflection of my day at the office the following day. I caught heck at work because of it. We lost one and the fun some of my co-workers at my expense was hard to put up with, but, hey, water off a duck's back.Yes, and I will be sure to remind everyone of them of that fact tomorrow...
and the next day...
and the next day...
They weren't being responsible before they were poisoned. Several years before the incident, a member of their arbor department had written an article, published internally, that the trees were dying from roots being paved over and having the foliage and twigs blasted away by high pressure hoses clearing the TP. Their live oaks are north of their normal range and are evergreen, growing opportunistically. They briefly exfoliate in the spring. When you blast away their leaves in football season, you're starving them, and they will die before their normally long, lifespan. (The ones which were poisoned were not nearly so old as your AU friends will try to lead you to believe.) The article doesn't exist any more on Auburn's website, but it still can be found on the web. It interfered with the victim narrative, and, naturally, the criminal case. If they keep treating these trees the same, they'll die prematurely also, burned or not...If auhurn people can't be responsible with trees and toilet paper, why not restrict access so that you can only get there when Auburn does something of note?
Do you know that you are on a Bama board???Just don't act like your fan base is so "above it all" when it's no different.
Yes, the broad brush is to be avoided. Applying it isn't fair to either side, and I apologize if my post gave you that impression.Hey Dub, what if I just didn't care either way? Do get lumped in with people who pulled for Oregon or Florida State. FYI I didn't even watch either game.
Yeah put me in the dumb kids category. Bunch of drunk sophomores steal all of Skybar's TP for an impromptu roll of the corner. Big deal. Don't like it. Aaaaand now I'm over it.I went to AUFamily (Dub's home board) and saw a thread about the tree rolling. Most there weren't big fans of it happening. Some were embarrassed and some brushed it off as dumb college students.
