Let’s Pause Reflect on Our Fallen Foe

[LeBron47]

Who says there was no Hoo Doo last night? Without the Hoo Doo we would have won by about four TDs.

Let me use auto correct… not enough Hoo Doo in the Voo Doo palace…

RTR

The only pause I will take is to catch my breath from dancing on their grave.

Auburn has never had six losing seasons in a row.

Only once before (1946-50) have they had five in a row.

Alabama has had THIRTEEN losing seasons in our entire existence.
Five of ours were in the 7-year span of 1951-57.
Four more were in the ten-year span of 1997-2006.

Three of the other five were in our first 8 years in existence when you played few games (one is a 2-3 record in 1900).

Auburn has had as many losing seasons since 1975 as Alabama has in our entire history.

And they've only played 29 fewer games overall.

No Coach, No Bowl, No More Hoo Doo in the Voo Doo Palace

RTR!

The Devil tells them "Hey, you can't barter with something that you have already given to me!"

If anyone had it Alabama did: covered the spread even though outgained ~430 to ~280. AU could have easily been 9-2 but for coaching incompetence, a losing mindset and some incredibly severe ref incompetence.

Auburn's quick firing and sad funneling of resources into buyout funds instead of their students and athletic department/athletes has created the mediocrity I expect from the turnover and tumult. AU will never be an every year national championship potential team. If they were smart, they would study the Frank Beamer days where he slowly built a program from nothing at VA Tech piece by piece by creating a team that capitalized on other teams weaknesses. You can't do that by hiring and firing on a 3-4 year cycle and wasting money on buyouts. This is also great example for Alabama, where we will find ourselves if we turn on our coaches after 1-4 years. Give the coach the resources he needs and demand a real building plan for the program. Only push out the coach for abysmal results with a solid plan of who you are going to replace the coach with, or we will find ourselves in the Auburn cycle.

And this is why we pretty much need to give DeBoer 4-5 full years to work things. There are going to be years when the portal and injuries bounce the wrong way, it isn't like the Saban era where you could stockpile players!

Team culture is very good, we are recruiting very well, and DeBoer seems cognizant of our week points and a need to improve them. That puts us above > 90% of other programs.

To your point, we knocked a 45-yard FG down the pipe to start the game

Their fans that I know are borderline delusional right now. They still consider AU to be a premiere program. One told me that they “weren’t interested” in hiring CLK. Please. The Yella Fella would have built a 2x4 highway and crawled to Oxford.

Truth is, they weren’t on par with Florida or LSU as an opportunity. Or even Mississippi, meaning I think if Auburn was his only option, CLK stays put. Other programs in the SEC in better shape right now and for next year are Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt (maybe).

I do think they were a better team than their record showed. But as elite as they think? Nope and not by a country mile.

Yep, hopefully we have exercised our demons down there.
