We all hate au but for the last couple of years all I've heard from Bama fans is gloom and doom for au. However, for the last two years au has a a record of 23-4, won two bowl games, beat us on our home turf and barely lost to our best team in history, and has won the sec and NC. Not to mention they have beat us 7 out of the last 9 games and we have only won once at T-Town.

Last year they had a great recruiting class and appear to be on track again this year. So I don't see au suffering any time soon.



So besides the fact we all wish the worst for au, do we really believe they will not be good for awhile?

And I'll tell you know, we'll face a big challenge next year getting a victory at their place. It will never be easy.

We need to beat them on the field consistently. The overall record in the Iron Bowl is getting too close for comfort.

MOOO

I don't like it either, but MikeD's probably right.

Also, the "moo" thing is getting old -- especially when people are actually trying to be reasonable and not obviously trolling. It's not much of a discussion board when we can't disagree without tuning each other out.

With all due respect, Auburn was 8-5 and last year, 14-0 this year. I normally going to pick on someone for a mathmatical error, and 22-5 is not bad. But with 14 of those 22 wins being due to the presence of Cam Newton, that throws off the picture a bit. Without him, they go maybe 8-5 at best again this year, and are more like 16-10 in the past two years. It takes more than raw talent to win games. The jury is still out on Chizik and Malzahn if they can develope that athletic ability.

Obviously , you don't know the history of the Moo post, which to me is short for MooAgEwe, made famous by a devoted Bama fan in the early days of this and other boards. It has nothing to do with MikD's allegiance , which i know is Crimson, but rather to the thread, and the many, many, many , many barn threads on this board. My dad, another well known poster on TI, Bamamag, BOL use to always say if you talk about Auburn that much , your envious or a closet barn fan.
Yes a message forum is a free exchange of ideas and opinions as it relates to a subject and this one is moderated for our protection. the moo post is in itself a response to an Auburn related post.it is my disagreement and rejection of all things barn, MY OPINION. I have made lucid and rational opinions, pro barn achievements, in the past . Since the end of the season, there have been many, many, many, many threads/ posts about Auburn's future on this board. To Which as an Alabama fan, I really could care little about. It has been discussed, rationalized , rehashed and debated to the point I can best describe my opinion as MOO

I don't know, I don't care,
I love it! lol All I can say is I wouldn't be surprised if the season goes bad for them. Just saying. You can't run the ball if you don't have an experienced line to block. You can't pass if you don't have decent pass protection and you can't win if you don't play good defense. Wouldn't be surprised if they lose every SEC game except Old Miss.

I didn't get a "moo" in response, so that's appreciated. :wink:

Well, it sounds like there's some kind of backstory on the mooing. Even if it originally meant something different, though, it's almost always used now to question someone's allegiance and/or discredit something positive about the Barn. It's a pretty weak comeback unless, like I said, someone's just trolling.

But thanks for the thoughtful response. I'd like to think every disagreement discussed in a reasonable way helps make TideFans a better place to be. :)

They may very well have the worst records after winning a NC ever in college football..It's going to be brutal..
Malzahns offense will look as bad or worse than Michigan States did in the Capital one bowl next season in the Iron Bowl! Coach Saban will not call the dogs off! Jurdon Hair will be half or more empty mid way through the 4th quarter! Let it be written! Let it be done! ;)

My wish? au loses every game and at the end of the season the ncaa announces they will lose 29 schollys.

My prediction? They have recruited well, have lots of 4-5 stars. They are well coached and play hard. They will win at least 7 games, play us hard and close, and go to a bowl.
