Tuberville will listen if Texas A&M calls

Just one man’s opinion:

1. Tommy Tuberville will listen to Texas A&M: It’s pretty certain that the Aggies are going to make a coaching change and the discussion of the salary will probably start north of $3 million. Tuberville will not discuss this publicly or swear his eternal allegiance to Auburn because, quite frankly, he doesn’t have to.

Why? Two words: Bobby Petrino.

Since that failed coup attempt in 2003 Tuberville is 25-5 in the SEC and 9-2 against the Top Ten. Of course he will listen. He will also listen to LSU (if Les Miles goes to Michigan) and to Arkansas, if they make a change. And at the end of the day he may stay exactly where he is—with a raise, of course.

2. Knowshon needs his touches: It’s a good thing for Georgia that Thomas Brown is ready to go again. But Knowshon Moreno needs to get at least 20 carries on Saturday against Auburn. The great backs wear down a defense and that doesn’t happen until he gets over 15 carries. Auburn has a great defense. The only way to beat that defense is for it to get tired. Knowshon needs to get the rock to do that.

3. Tennessee cannot stop Arkansas: Arkansas ran for 541 yards against South Carolina. Louisiana-Lafayette ran for 234 yards against Tennessee. So what do you suppose Arkansas is going to run for against Tennessee, the No. 9 rushing defense in the SEC? The answer is a lot. Tennessee will have to outscore the Hogs and force some turnovers to have a chance.

4. Florida State has turned a corner: Earlier this year Florida State was a bad, bad, football team, particularly on offense. But last Saturday’s night’s 27-17 win at Boston College was one of the most complete games the Seminoles have played in a couple of years. QB Drew Weatherford deserves a lot of credit. In his last two games Weatherford has completed 64 of 92 passes (69.5 percent) for 693 yards and zero interceptions.

5. Bama had better be careful in Starkville: Mississippi State caught Kentucky coming off a tough loss to Florida a couple of weeks ago and beat the Wildcats in Lexington. Alabama has to sag a little bit after losing to LSU, a game it could have won. But if the Tide mopes too much, Sylvester Croom’s Bulldogs could pull off another upset.

Tony, I am not saying TN is going to shut down Arkansas running game but I think they will have the same game plan they did against GA. Put everyone in the box and make the QB beat you. Tn was able to slow down GAs running attack but then again, McFadden and Jones are the 2 best backs in the SEC.

  1. And he has earned every dollar. Great coach, especially when his back is against the wall.

  2. Conventional wisdom is often right.

  3. Probably not. Can you say three-way tie? : )

  4. One game does not a corner turn. FSU has a very good defense when they play to their potential; the Seminole offense may have just experienced the high point of their whole 2007 season. It remains to be seen if the offense has already peaked.

  5. Yup. Mississippi State lives for games like this.

Tuberville is in a great position. He can lose out and still get a huge raise. He can play Auburn for more money and no one will blame him. He can leave for Ark, LSU or A&M and have job security without having to look over his shoulder.

Tony, I agree that FSU is playing MUCH better against Duke and BC than they did against Miami and WF.

But…but but but…they also played well against Alabama in the second half of that game and people thought we had turned a corner then.

I hope you are right but lets wait until after Saturday to see how the Noles perform in Blacksburg. Luckily, FSU has VT’s number!

Go Noles!

First, Texas A&M has not fired coach Fran, second, Bama fans are doing their routine thing when Auburn advances to spot light with a big game and they just got their butts beat, third,When you have 75 roster players out 88 returning, mostly RSF, Fresh and sophomore, building a new 7 BR house, nice Lake House on Lake Martin, and have four children growing up in a small town atmosphere,their is a 95% chance he will be at Auburn until he retires… He is definitely one of the top coaches in the country along with CMR.

CTT may leave but I don’t think he will.

He has built a machine at AU. They start 7 Soph or Frosh on D and are very young on O.

I don’t know if Knowshon can wear out AU’s defense. I’m not saying that he may not have a big game, but AU is about 3 deep at every position on defense.

McFadden and Jones will drop 300 on UT.

UA will have to play 4 quarters Sat and will put it away in the last 6-7 minutes.

  1. TT will listen for sure but only LSU could lure him away and I suspect they will go get the olde ball coach. The good news for TT is sounds like a nice pay raise is coming regardless of where he coaches.

  2. I agree that Knowshon must get 20+ carries but UGA will not beat AU by running the ball. The running must set up the passing game down the field which is the area UGA must exploit to win.

  3. Your guess is as good as mine. Will the UT team that played UGA show up or the UT team that played UF?

  4. FSU has not turned the corner YET but a win at Va. Tech would signal that they have.

  5. Miss St. is a good story but they will not beat Bama. Saban will have his team ready to play.

I don’t see Tommy Tele-Tubbie giving up the reigns so easily, he is a cut-above the likes of nick satan. But, there are a lot of appealing openings in the CFB world,and I’m sure they’re going to flash cash. But, a coach also wants to win a NC and maybe Teletubbie sees his best oppurtunity at Barn-U. But after the blackout at Sanford, maybe he will opt for the Aggies, after all they are also a farm/barn school.

I don’t care for Tommy T. personally but he is one of the top 5 coaches in the country. What he did at Ole Miss was amazing giving the sanctioned, bottom-tier team he inherited. Just look what Ed Ogeron has done in better circumstances in Oxford. Other than knowing he was not wanted at Auburn, he would be foolish to move on. That being said, GO DAWGS!!!

War Eagle…typical AU rhetoric. News about Tubby possible bailing on AU (like they tried to do to him in 2003) and you try to place some kind of blame on BAMA!! Give me a break. AU has NO loyalty to Tuberville and the same goes in return. For the right opportunity, he will leave the pasture. He can buy a nice lake house and put his kids in school in College Station as well. He knows that one bad season and you school president and AD, Bobby Lowder, will run him from town! But I am sure if he does you guys will find some way to blame BAMA for it! You always do!

Shame on Auburn for that fiasco with Petrino a few years back. I wouldn’t blame Tuberville one bit for leaving. But Auburn will pay up and keep him. He should be able to name his price and rightfully so.

That reminds me, and sorry to get off subject, but does anyone know why Ole Miss got rid of Cutcliffe? Was there something political going on there? At the surface that looks like the dumbest coaching change ever.

Of the three CTT scenarios, the only one that really holds any water is the potential LSU job. Can’t see him leaving to A&M where the only recruits he gets are what’s left over after Texas and LSU raid the stock.

Arkansas? Sure, you probably get discounts at WalMart, but other than that I can’t see the draw.

He’s steadily rebuilt the Auburn program and with the underclassmen currently on this team, if he can get some good QB play the next couple of years, should field a top 10 - maybe top 5 - team.

He’ll listen to any offers, and probably let it be know to AU officials, who should do the right thing and give him a salary boost. They’re still eating crow from the Petrino fiasco.

And outside of the few numbskulls who call for his ouster after any sub-par performance or, God forbid, a loss, the Auburn fan base is and has been behind CTT. They’re just like the fans who call for CMR to be canned every time Massoquoi drops a ball.

I’ve had times I liked and disliked Tuberville but one thing that was constant, I always respected his coaching and abilities. After the Lauder failed coop attempt (shame on Auburn for that) Tuberville has been high on a perch and rightfully so. He’ll leave AU when he’s good and ready and on his own terms. Theres alot of talk about A&M but I wouldn’t rule out a possible Arkansas offer. He’s from there, has connections to the university and is approaching the backside of his career. It would appear the Razorbacks are headed for a change.

The UGA offense and Knowsho needs him to have 25-30 carries. Stafford also needs a minimum of 25 attempts. Not just for wearing down the AU offense but keeping them honest. We’ll not beat AU on the ground. They just beat the best running tandem in college at AR.

ERK

It has been said in these parts back when Cutclife was hired at Ole Miss. Archie Manning would insure Eli went to Ole Miss only if Cutclife were there to coach him (as he did Peyton at TN) otherwise he would be at TN. Archie still has very strong UM ties. Cutclife only had one successful season and could not the barbarians after Eli left for the NFL. Cutclife also added fuel to the fire his final year by a) losing and b) becoming beligerent to UM President

Richt may be one gold watch away from going back to Half @$$ U (especially if the Bulldog Nation continues to run so hot and cold on him every year), so the UGA job may be in play in a few years.

As a Jacket fan, I would love to have either Richt (why the HELL does the UGA fan base hate him so at times?) or TT, but I don’t think we can afford TT. Not at $3M. Not right now with Dave No-Braine’s stadium note and K with Chan.

What Tech needs is some kind of “deferred compensation” type plan where the coach’s salary increases exponentially for each year they stay over, say, 5 years. That way, we can get loyalty for a proven coach without taking a big gamble up front or having to make expensive deals we later regret.

If Tubbs does leave for Arkie or LSWho, has there ever been a coach to lead 3 different SEC teams? In addition, 3 teams in the same division? He would be crazy to go to another SEC school.

IF he leaves, it will be to A&M. I don’t know why he would, given that expectations are so low in Albarn, but maybe he’s tired of the same ol’ thing year in and year out. Time to move on to a place with a little more tradition?

“…swearing his eternal allegiance to Auburn because, quite frankly, he doesn’t have to. Why? Two words: Bobby Petrino.” Well, I have 2 words for you, “Ole Miss”. Remember when Tubberville told his players he was not going to be the coach at Auburn, and 48 hours later he is on TV as the new Auburn head coach. Yes he is a great coach, but I wouldn’t trust anything he says or turn my back on him!

I have not been a big fan of TT since he left Ol’ Miss high and dry just as they were turning a corner. I think his talent lies in the ability to surround himself with good coaches who can recruit. It would not surprise me in the least to see him jump to another school for a bigger wad of cash, just like he jumped to Auburn. If he’s smart he’ll take the A&M job since it will be next to impossible to win the NC at Auburn. He tried once with an undefeated team and still couldn’t do it.

Tubbys not going anywhere and will get a big, fat well deserved raise.

Agree about Knowshon. Needs to get in a rhythm.

Unfortunately UT will find a way to slow down the hogs and win.

Tony, sometimes you can be so gullible and believe the hype. They beat B - freakin’ - C! BC up to that point had barely beaten ONE decent team - va tech. FSU still has a ways to go.

Miss. St. can beat anyone except W. VA which may have the best team in the nation right now. Top 4 teams: Oregon, W. VA, LSU, OK… sorry OSU. It would be best for the big ten if OSU doesn’t get emabarrased again by one of these teams in the BCS.

The SEC has a lot in common with Chan Gailey this year. Mediocrity has set in the SEC and CHAN is the king of mediocrity. The SEC will get blasted in the bowl games because they only have a bunch of mediocre teams. If you are going to have a mediocre conference, somebody should hire CHAN GAILEY in the SEC, because he is the king of mediocre.

  1. Tuberville might listen, but Texas A&M is the only real chance of him leaving & Auburn might be able to keep him w/ a pay raise. Les Miles isn’t going to leave LSU, because LLoyd Carr won’t be leaving Michigan, so there won’t be an opening at LSU for Tuberville. He surely wouldn’t leave Auburn for Arkansas w/o a significant pay difference.

  2. Agreed, & Moreno will get his touches, but Georgia will have to pass successfully against that Auburn D to be able to win.

  3. Tennessee (if they’re smart) will stack the box & try to force Arkansas to beat them by passing, but I’m not sure that’ll work.

  4. FSU might’ve turned the corner, but they’ve been inconsistent so the upcoming VTech game will tell the story.

  5. Miss. St. will probably make a close game of it, but I believe Alabama will pull it out. They have a better D than Kentucky’s.

I’m an Auburn grad and fan who’s never been a fan of Tommy Tuberville. I don’t particularly like his game plans and tendencies. But I do respect him for what he has accomplished in his time at Auburn. That being said, I wouldn’t blame him if he left Auburn for what he thinks are greener pastures.

However, if Texas A&M fires Franchione and hires Tuberville, ‘BAMA fans get a two-fer. They hate Franchione for leaving them (you’re supposed to get fired or retire) and they’d be rid of an Auburn coach who has not had a problem beating them on a regular basis. This rumor sounds suspicious to say the least.

Tuberville knows first hand what it’s like to inherit a program in shambles. (Thanks for nothing Terry Bowden.) He’s getting a little old to have to do that again, especially in light of the fact that he has built a pretty good program at Auburn. If Tuberville wants to win a National Championship (and he does), jumping to a program in distress is not the way to do it.

I think Tuberville will use the calls from the various schools as a way to renegotiate his contract with Auburn. But if he does leave, Auburn won’t have a problem finding well-qualified coaches who would like to come in and pick up where he left.

About half of the SEC coaches have been rumored to be headed somewhere else for next season, but for now it is all speculation by columnists and wishful thinking by the fans of their opponents. We won’t know for sure until we wrap up this season, which is still pretty exciting.

Auburn’s football program will be the same over the next 5-10 years with or without Tommy Tuberville. That program will consistently win between 8-11 games per year, possibly with a 6-6 hiccup like most teams experience, and possibly with a 12-1 year or better. Throw a blanket over the SEC’s elite. They all succeed regardless of the man on the sidelines. If Tubs wants to be an Aggie, go for it dude, and best wishes for success in Texas. Auburn will find another football CEO to do Golden Flake commercials. The sun will rise, one way or the other.

There were 2 little backs at Auburn a couple of years ago that you may recall…I think their names were Cadillac and Ronnie. You are getting old apparently.

After the game Saturday, the name will be NOSHOW Moreno. Auburn completely shut down “the best 2 backs in the SEC”. McFadden ended up with 43 yards that night. The only way Georgia wins the game is if Auburn turns the ball over. I’ve been hearing great things about the intensity of the practices coming out of Auburn this week. Cox was thoroughly embarassed by the game in the rain last year. I look for him to have a great game. This one goes to the best defense in the SEC, AUBURN.

Now TT is using that situation to raise his salary or is he. Suddenly he is the hottest commodity in college coaching, his salary should be raised no matter what happen in Louisville.

While one might apprecieate your cockiness, it should be stated that Cadillac couldn’t fan the sweat off McFadden’s bawls. Auburn had a very big and distinct advantage over the Hogs and McFadden they won’t have over Georgia. The pass and the big play will be a constant threat the AU will have to deal with on Sat. Stacking the box in an attempt to stop SHOtime Moreno will get your defense burned.

The Dawgs had Cox’s number last year and we will again this year. Trust me here, he’s no enigma and in for another serious let down after this game. If by chance AU wins this game, it won’t be on the back of that crybaby

Going from Auburn to Texas A&M is a step down. This cannot be disputed. Tommy is good at playing the Auburn Trustees for more money and he probably deserves it. He has certainly been the most consistantly successful coach in the SEC, and will continue to win for the next 2 or 3 years until Saban takes over the West.

Texas A&M got what they deserved - a snake oil salesman who will leave the program in much worse shape than it was when he arrived. Anyone who follows college football knows that RC Slocum would have had much more success if he had be retained in College Station.

By ARdawg You’re a dumbass Cox should have been pulled from the UGA game as his ankle was tore up from the tough win at SC the week before! Brandon was broadcasting his throws and could not plant his foot-If AU controls the line of scrimmage on defense and Brandon moves the ball down the field as he orchestrated against UF it will be a long afternoon between the hedges! I agree that we must stop noshown but youre’ still an idiot-woof woof puppies go down and AU increases their lead over the 7th longest rivalry in College football 111 games and AU leads the series!!!

And BTW, UF/LSU put some mean a* hits on Brandon Cox and took his helemt off on 2 occasions and Brandon got up and played a hell of a couple of games! If not for the squib kicks that Tville called for we would have had the LSU win! Crybabies don’t get up from vicious hits like the ones he takes week in-out from SEC opponents moron! I guess a powder puff player that you are probably would not appreciate that, though so keep on blogging idiot!

For those that think Tuberville is still bitter over Jetgate and would love to screw Auburn over; why hasn’t he done it already? He’s had the chance to leave since then since his name is consistently mentioned for other jobs. And if that’s really what he wanted, the best time would have been right after the 2004 season, when he went 13-0, won every coach of the year award in the country and was losing a multi-million dollar backfied (3 first rounders). His name came up then for both the Florida and LSU openings, but yet, he signed a new 7-year deal with a huge buyout at AU.

As for supposed job security and freedom from meddling, ask Franchione how secure his job is without enough wins, and Houston Nutt close to being run out of town in part for not giving control over to an assistant (Malzahn). Arky has fans filing FOI’s to get Nutt’s cell phone records. How crazy are they?

AU did shut down the Hog runners by stacking the box becuase the Hogs passing game is aweful. Stafford must complete passes down the field on a regular basis or UGA has no shot. KM is a great back but he will get stuffed if we do not keep the safeties out of the box.

Tommy T. has indeed amassed an impressive record at AU and he has many starters returning for next year. However, I think one of the main issues that would make him decide to leave is due to the person who controls AU football….and I’m not talking about the AU President.

Many universities have influential boosters that can sway the athletic decisions but AU is unique in that one lone booster wields such power instead of a group. Not to name any names, but just check the registration of the jet that flew to Louisville to visit Petrino.

Another note is that Tuberville has been successful by hiring very good asst coaches and letting them do their job. If TT stays at AU then look for his assistants to start accepting head coaching jobs at other schools soon. If the coaching talent cannot be replaced at AU then the program could be in trouble. TT knows that if he starts fresh at A&M, Arkansas, Michigan, then he can probably build another good staff who would figure to have safe jobs for a few years until they themselves are offered a head coaching position.

I am a big Dawg fan, and cannot stand Auburn as a school or their arrogant fans. However, I do respect their coach, Tommy T. In fact, he’s the only coach currently in the SEC that I’d trade ours for. This is mainly because he goes for a win aggressively (going for it on 4th down, hitting a big play with a lead to stretch the game to the point a team cannot catch up with them, etc.) This is why he’s been a problem for us since the Mid-90’s when he was at Ole Miss. He’s sigle handedly beaten us at least 4 times since then when we had at least equal or better players than him (witness 2005 as the latest one).

Bottom line, I’d kick in $100 to A&M to get him out of our way in the SEC because he’s going to beat you at least every other year (which for the Dawgs means this weekend I’m sad to say). We are not ready to handle Florida and Auburn in the same year yet.

Tubby said he avoid the UGA job when CMR returns to Miami in ‘09, because he indicated the program does have the respect of the SEC and indicated Troy will be a much more dominant program going into the latter half of this decade.

Steve Spurrier is most likely the next coach at UGA, because he prefers not to coach powerhouses.

By Pitbull

This old Dawg thinks that CTT is a hell of a coach and he gave CMR the best advice CMR could have recieved after Auburn beat UGA in the last seconds of CMR’s first year at UGA. He told CMR if you are to win in the SEC you have to run the ball and use the pass to set up the run. CMR listened and it has made all of the difference(68 victories with 3 to 5 games to go in year 7).

Just to set the record straight, the UGA folks love Coach Richt. The only negative comments I hear or read are from immature posers from Tech or other schools that hate UGA and would do anything to sow seeds of discord in our program. Anonomous little comments mean nothing compared to the overwhelming outpouring of approval that CMR gets from alumni an fans that have the integrity to identify themselves. If you really believe that our AD and UGA President weigh the rantings of a few idiotic Tech, UF, UT etc students over the people who pay the bills then you do not have the intelligence or maturity to be in college.

CTT knows how to win football games and the folks at Arkansas and LSU would be fools to let their coaches get away. The same goes for the rest of the SEC. It has the best coaching school for school of any conference in the country.

Auburn did not poop on CTT. The Auburn President and the Auburn AD pooped on CTT. They both are long gone now from what I remember. Lowder is still a problem at AU and I cannot imagine any other established quality coach going to AU as long as Lowder draws a breath.

Texas A&M has had some great teams but it isn’t like anyone circles them on the TV schedule to watch. CTT could do better than them if he wanted to move. IS Coach Fran looking to move or are they driving him off. He, Price, and the Ole Miss coach are all from the Pacific NW and they just cannot get their acts together.

Those guys just do not seem to understand what it takes to win in the SEC. As much as everone raves about Urban at UF, he had a couple of outstanding years ih his first two but is sitting on 3 losses and there will be more before the year is over. Like the Eagles’ song says “who’s gonna make it in the long run”? Urban was better off at Utah and will be back there within a couple of years.

Spurrier is a great coach although lie the Tin Man he could use a heart. He may return to UF if his ego lets him. You can look at his face and tell it is killing him to coach at SC where 8 wins are overachieving, and to have to watch his alma mater lose games they should not lose with the talent that they have. Of course Spurrier never got Miami back on the schedule like he promised when he got there in 1991, although I can understand why considering what those 1990’s Hurricane teams were like.

I was hoping for some good old fashion support your team banter but you want to already get into some name calling. There are some AU fans that blog here in a civil and respectful manner. Apparently you and Chuck aren’t included in those.

Make your Cox excuses all you want. If he wasn’t able he shouldn’t have been playing. BTW, what excuse did you have for Brandon after the Miss ST game? Did he hurt his widdy biddy foot in the USF loss too?

Listen up JERK. This is a blog in which we are discussing football. More specifically the GA/AU game this week.

To Pitbull,

Being an Aggie, I’m inclined to agree with you on most of what you’ve said. I can’t honestly imagine leaving the SEC for the Big XII, but that aside, A&M has more money than God. Secondly, Fran is not from the NW, he’s from Kansas, coached at Pittsburg State, TCU, and Alabama before screwing the Tide to come to A&M. He’s (clearly) a scumbag, and will be fired for his Insider Newsletter more than for the awful teams he’s fielded. Tuberville is a gentleman as well as a good coach. As far as Auburn politics goes, I’ll defer to you, but it certainly seemed like the bandwagon for firing Tommy was pretty full circa Jetgate. We would be lucky to get him but likely won’t. If by some miracle we do, wouldn’t the best thing for Auburn be to promote Muschamp? Am I off?

The game this coming Saturday should be a very intense battle. Coach Tommy T. and DC Will Muschamp will have the Tigers ready to prove that they will be able to notch another victory Between the Hedge’s. I feel confident that the Auburn Tigers will come away with the Victory in a hard fought spirited game. RB Moreno is an excellent player for the Dawgs but can carry Uga only so far. The QB Stafford is a good QB but not great and has only good receivers to compliment him as well. The offensive line seems to be improving but still lacks cohesiveness. QB and Receiver play just hasn’t lived up to its expectations but is good at times. The Tigers should be able to keep Uga in check in those two areas. Uga’s defense is an area in which has been plagued with problems of inconsistency. The defensive schemes Uga employs is suspect by players not being disciplined and not being well coached. Auburn exposed these problems two years ago in Athens and was able to win that game in the wainning moments. Teams were able to follow suit as did WVU, Vandy, Kentucky,Tenn, and SC. Even in some of UGA’s win’s , teams were able to take advantage of uga’s inconsistency during the past three years. Granted the dawgs are a well coached team but are a little overrated. Uga will have problems with their up coming game with Kentucky as well, because the Wildcats match up very well with the dawgs simply because of the defensive issues. IMO Uga isn’t a top 10 team but a good team. Coach Tommy T simply prepares for away games better than CMR who BTW does an excellent job himself. This game should be another competitive classic with the Tigers prevailing. I know Dawg nation is very excited as all of us in War Eagle nation.

Outsiders think that he is always a year from being fired after that. Truth is it has made him untouchable by the BOT unless he has a multi-year meltdown.

No offense boys, but AU did not stack the box against Ark. Most people just don’t understand that our linebackers are as fast as some schools’ wideouts.

Jaraud Powers and Patrick Lee can shut down most wide receivers. In addition you know that Ahmed Hussein BinLaden Mussoui or whatever that wide receiver’s name up there at uga is, will drop at least 2 balls thrown right in his hands.

Add in the fact that Tubs has a near perfect road record against top 10 teams AND the fact that we are 18-9 all time between the shrubs and it just stands to reason that we will win this one.

Franchione made $2 million at Texas A&M. It would cost $6 million to buy Tuberville out of the seven-year, $18 million deal he signed after the Tigers went 13-0 in 2004. Tuberville is making $2.6 million this season. I would think few schools could afford that buyout.

  1. Sorry, A&M fans, but your school is not a primo football destination. You may have “more money than God,” but when God wants to watch football, he looks at the SEC game of the week. I’d much rather be at a stacked Auburn program than a rebuilding A&M one.

  2. John in Dallas, I hope you’re right, but I don’t see ANYONE scoring 47 points on Auburn. Including my beloved Dawgs. And if we give up 27 to them, we’ll stand a >50% chance of losing. Auburn’s D is legit. Their offense, conversely, is suspect. Here’s hoping Martinez can have the Georgia defense ready to play like they did last season against the War Tigers.

  3. FSU looked better last week, but even a blind man could see that one coming. BC has not played well against speedy defenses, and FSU’s defense rivals Auburns and LSU’s. Put that together with a career day for Weatherford and you get a W for FSU. I do think they shut down VT’s still-anemic offense, though. That game may be a 9-7 or 3-2 game—all D, no O.

  4. The Dawgs will win if they win special teams and the turnover battle. That’s pretty much it.

Sorry Cotner, but BC doesn’t play VT twice so it will be hard for them to lose to a team they have already beat this year. Your fuzzy logic about the ‘Noles doesn’t work either. FSU has continuously had top ten recruiting classes and they now have probably the best coaching staff in NCAA football. They are struggling with young players and a new offensive system but seem to be hitting thier stride. Last year was a down year with issues on offense, but not defense. They forced Jeff Bowden out and now have one of the best OCs in the country. Despite problems with JBs offense, they still won the ACC just 2 years ago. Bobby B may be getting long in the tooth, but he still knows how to run a great college football program. ‘Nole haters will just have to deal with it.

I see little incentive to leave a great school like Auburn for most anyplace, let alone Texas A&M. Good coach, but can’t depend on him in the long run. Auburn really did not need this controversy moving into November - the month of their biggest rivalries.

  2. Knowshon will get his twenty totes and hopefully Brown will spell him. Florida and even Troy has warn him down and we need him for the end of the season and bowls.

  3. Looking for Fulmer to choke - he always does. I like Coach Fulmer, but the man just does know how to enjoy prosperity when he has it.

Why don’t you go back to ARK and hang out with that other a-wipe Clinton and her wife!

**Back to the game and T’ville-AU will get the win if they play the way they came out at UF and LSU and stack the box and play great defense in space. Our team defensive & closing speed will curtail the kid from NJ whose mama calls him Noshown! We must control the lline of scrimmage and harass the receivers as we did Reggie Brown when we knocked him out year before last! One things for sure there will be no shortage of big hitting going on!

PS:

Chuck good points about AU’s linebackers-SPEED KILLS UGA this weekend!

On this coaching crap:

Coaching isn’t rocket science. Bear Bryant flunked out of Podunk High School in the backwoods of Arkansas for christ’s sake. He was admitted to Bammer sans diploma (oh what a shocker).

I don’t care if TT stays or leaves. He is a good enough coach, but like every other coach on earth, very replaceable.

Auburn shouldn’t and needn’t pay any coach what Bammer pathetically pays what’s his face - so that a bunch of Bammer Cletuses can live their tragic truck driving lives vicariously through a football team composed largely of low IQ teenagers and twenty year olds who shouldn’t be in college in the first place, and have some coach whom they can idolize like they did with Bear. Living for his press conferences and the chance to claim they stood within 30 feet of the b******* once… lame!

No coach should be paid the salary of a professor. They don’t have Ph.D.s and what they do is not THAT impressive. Running the players around, cursing at them, telling them to “hold onto the ball”… ad nauseam.

What a scam.

Having said that, hopefully Auburn does beat UGA as usual at Jordan-Hare East! Go Tigers!!

I’m steering away from the kool-aid my friend. I honestly do not have an inkling how this one might turn out and consequently not laying any bet. I don’t believe AU is going to beat us with the defensive schemes I saw in the AR game. If the Dawgs are indeed ready to play they have an arsenal of weapons that’ll be difficult for your boys to defend. I stated earlier this week that we haven’t faced a defense as solid as Auburns.

The ole “special teams and turnover” statements don’t get it here. We’ll have to score a minimum of 3 TDs to win this game. I don’t know if we can on such a capable defense. I do think UGAs defense will keep Cox in check. I don’t believe he’ll set any records Sat. Who knows in this crazy year. There could wind up being 90 points scored in this one. But I’d lay a bet that it’s going to be close and less than 40 points total

  1. Losing Tuberville would be a loss for the SEC. Who knows - maybe Petrino would be interested in the Auburn job at this point. You think?

  2. What we see happening in Athens is not-so-common event: the emergence of a big-time star. If No-Mo is really such a star, he will not be distracted with all the praise, and he will realize the past two weeks were for naught unless the team wins out for the next three weeks and plays LSU. I think he can do it, but there is a reason not many people reach that level.

  3. I think TN can win, but they won’t. They are not a great team, and fat-boy is certainly not a great coach. A hot-dog-eating champion, maybe, but not a great coach.

  4. Fla State is in the ACC. Who cares if they turn the corner or not.

Dawg Fans don’t forget to wear black for Auburns memorial service.

1)TT is a great coach, UGA had better forget about cake and celabrating individual achievements or it might be a rough day in Athens. 2)Give Kno-MO the ball. Let the others rest him at times, but let him run. 3) SC defense was pretty good and got overwhelmed with two outstanding backs…UT will most likely loose, opening the door for UGA if they quit eating cake. 4)FSU has to be consistent, welcome in the Hokies who probably want some recognition in this game. FSU will most likely lose. 5)Bama wins…MSU got UK on a downslide.

20 vs Fla, 23 vs USF, 14 vs Miss St, 23 vs KState, 9 vs Ark, 17 vs Ole Miss

AUB is 10 in SEC in SCORING Offense at 22.7 a game and the only reason it is that good is because of 35 against Tenn Tech, 55 vs NMexSt, and 35 vs Vandy to skew the numbers!!!! Aub has scored 207 points this year and 125 is in those 3 games!!!!!!

Georgia is 6th at 31.8 points per game

Georgia wins by running Moreno, Play action deep, and pressuring Cox

Dawgs win tough 27-17

Hey BUCKEYE idiot!!!!!!1

Ohio St is 0-9 ALL TIME vs SEC

Last year the SEC went 6-3 in Bowls while the BIG TEN went 2-7 in Bowls getting blown out in many!!!!

This year the SEC has had 9 different teams ranked in the top 25…7 are still there

The Big Ten (11 actually) has TWO…and one of them lost to a 1AA school as did Minn

Teams like UGA, FLA, AUB, LSU, TENN and so on already have a confrence schedule that features 6-8 RANKED TEAMS….NO OTHER CONFRENCE CAN COME CLOSE TO THAT…..

Also next year UGA goes to Arizona St, played Colorado St last year,

NO other conference compares and there is NO case to be made to argue

Right now Ohio St has not played ONE SINGLE TEAM WHO IS CURRENTLY RANKED!!!!!!!

A few facts: - The AU president and AD will renegotiate CTT’s new contract/extension. The Board of Trustees (aka Bobby Lowders’ b1tch3s) can only approve the contract. Will Lowder have some say in the matter? I have no idea. - CTT wants better facilities for the team at AU and wants raises for his staff (and tell me Muschamp isn’t worth every penny - you taught him well Dawgs). It says a lot about Tubs and that he realizes the future is at Auburn if he can get what he wants. - When we lost to USF and MSU at the beginning of the season you can bet there was moaning and groaning from the Auburn fan base, but Tuberville didn’t personally cause the 5 turnovers in each of those games that kept us from winning. He did realize that his OL sucked and put a bunch of freshmen in to start and things have improved significantly. The Auburn fans who want CTT coaching anywhere but Auburn next year are few and far between. - Cox is not a great QB. He is a good QB at managing the game and making plays when the game is on the line (UF, Arkansas, driving for the lead late against LSU, remember the game 2 years ago Dawgs?). Last year he was essentially playing on one leg and couldn’t use his plant foot - he played a lot of the season that way (injured during LSU game) and we still made it to 9-2. - Auburn did not get a shot at the MNC game in 2004 because USC and Oklahoma had been #1/#2 for the entire season and with media bias being what it is, Auburn was shut out. This was not Auburn’s fault or Tuberville’s fault. The BCS just sucks eggs for determining a national champion - it is a system designed to enrich those involved with the traditional bowls and to maintain the status quo of those bowls’ status. Fans, players and schools be damned.

I’ve been an AU fan since I could follow a football game and understood the evil mullet-wearing bammer nation we were facing over in Tuscaloosa. At the same time I eventually attended grad school in Athens so I have a lot of respect for the Dawgs and their fans, and particularly the traditional rivalry that exists between two excellent institutions. Athens is my second favorite place to have ever lived to Sewanee, TN.

I can’t wait until Saturday. Living in Atlanta I will inevitably end up watching the game with pack of wild Dawg fans. Hopefully it will be a one man party this year as I, in the words of the late Auburn announcer Jim Fyffe, yell over and over again: TOUCHDOWN AUBURN!!!!

Ohiostatebuckeye - I’m surprised you would even open your mouth after the absolute freakin’ beat-down the Gators (who lost to Auburn during the regular season) put on your overrated team last year. I mean, most SEC fans who are not jean short wearing Gator fans, hate the Gators, and yet the absolute humiliation, the stupendous smackdown your team was subjected to last year united the SEC in ways that you can only fantasize about your own pathetic conference. And the only reason we took such joy in your misery is that WE KNEW ALL YEAR that you were OVERRATED, JUST LIKE THIS YEAR! The Gators said that you were worse than most of the SEC teams they played last year. The nearest team to OSU in the Big Ten/leven LOST TO APPALACHIAN STATE THIS YEAR!!!??? WTF???

Hey chase, show some defensive stats, like AU #1 SEC in defense scoring etc. DEFENSE is name of the game .for example: if Tenn had not scored 86 points on the dawgs last two years, dawgs could have won.This will be a great game for fans and TV audience. Ole Miss scored 3points(17) and Florida 17(34) on Auburn defense compare to brackets for dawgs.

Boys, Boys, Boys…

All this bravado. THE SEC IS ABOUT DEFENSE That’s why Florida humiliated OSU and why LSU wins. The only consistent element in the GA-AU match up is AU’s defense. It’s been a rock with LSU being the only team to reach 400 yds. Troy waxed GA for 488 yds and out gained the “great” GA offense. GA is no LSU. I’m not sure what happened to FLA that weekend but it was probably the same thing that happened to Au last year - shock. If GA is anything it’s inconsistent (Hello Chan).

I love this series - both teams respect each other and usually the game is a toss up. This year is no difference - who knows? However, the Vegas boys must know something to give a 10th ranked home team (that’s a whole different story) vs. 18th a one point advantage?

I’m just glad to be in a conference with such great coaches, where any day any one can beat anyone.

God Bless the SEC!

War Eagle…Auburn is 92nd in the COUNTRY in total offense That matters!!!

Also UGA vs Fla final score was 42-30..not 34 and one of those TDs was an interception return for a score!

The point is that UGA’s d-fense is good enough to hold Auburn’s WEAK Offense down and then UGA’s Offense is good enough (balanced) to be able to score and win!

Don’t forget the 6 sacks on TEBOW when he hadn’t been sacked but 5 times all year before that game!

COX is a much easier target and he will be blitzed all night…it will be close until the bitter end but Georgia’s BALANCED attack and pressure on Cox will win out!!

I wouldn’t even bring up the FLA game.

Tebow was hurt and didn’t even look to run that game. Up to that point (including AU game) he WAS their offense.

Same goes for Cox last year - no excuses but he was not 100% - unlike the year before when hit lit up GA at home for 282 yds AND threw the clutch pass in the waning moments of the game.

Hey - I like GA but let’s get real. The game is a toss up. It goes down to which teams weaker side steps up - GA’s defense or Au’s offense. I think AU has the advantage there - go to SEC website for stats.

God Bless the SEC!

Georgia inconsistant? 10 or more wins 6 of the last 7 years, 3 East Championships, two Sec titles and a chance at another this year!!! Pretty consistant!

Troy runs a GIMMICK SPREAD OFFENSE with a running QB that AUBURN CANNOT RUN That is why they got alot of yards…. and lets not forget UGA was trying to run out the clock when they could’ve scored and then Troy started burning timeouts and scored a MEANINGLESS TD w/5 seconds left!

ALSO…..GEORGIA IS 4th in the SEC in TOTAL D-FENSE not too bad!!!

Bottom line…Georgia has a GOOD but young D-fense that is not too far behind Auburns BUT…an OFFENSE that is way better!!!!!!!

Knowsh*t is a great back but won’t wear down the AU defense. The points about GA is not ARK are valid. However, no one else has seemed to be able to stop the ARK running attack? (If it’s that easy as pointed out by the DAWG stat people).

I am not disrespecting AUB…it is a great rivalry and both are great schools with great SEC tradition!!!

I am not saying UGA has a juggernaut “O” but it is more blanced (by your own coach’s words) than any other you have faced this year!

I think it will be a 3-point game deep into the Second Half but UGA’s running will wear out Aub late and pick up another score to end up 27-17.

Remember what happened last year…Georgia scored 37 and even the year before they scored over 30 in the loss! so Auburn’s big time D hasn’t stopped UGA recently!

Since you brought it up…If you look at total offense vs. total defense - AU has a slight advantage - 12 yds to be exact. Like I said it’s close.

My dad was a coach and got fired after he won a state championship at a school that had a football team for only four years. Note: He suspended the Mayor’s son, (the quarterback ) for violating team rules, so I know where you are coming from. Auburn look at Tommy”s success not only in wins but his boy have a great graduation rate and he is not getting them outta jail every week.
