Does Bama really need bulletin board material to get them motivated? We lost to MSU and ULM back to back and we have Auburn next. That alone should motivate them.

Well, I'm having no luck. I could find the meaning of life using Google, but for some reason, I come up short a vast majority of the time when using TideFans.com's search function. Can someone help me out here?

Any knowledgeable awbarn fan(hahahahahahahahahahhahaha) had better get down and kiss the feet of the nzaa. Rich Johecklejecklemeier has 10 times more to do with awbarn's winning streak than Ears. Croom,Less,etc...enjoy while you can, cause reality is gonna kick you right between your eyes. Rich and Phats should be in prison instead of being MVP'S.
The nzaa is not an excuse,it is a fact. The thumb is a joke. I imagine Ears knows that and maybe he will be exiled in aTm.

Quinton Groves suggested in a pre-season interview that Auburn would just have to work 370 days a year to beat Alabama when asked what he thought of Nick Saban's comment. I do not recall who was doing the interview.

Took this from another post. But it is my war cry. I hope we go score 125 pts on them and Saban takes his shoe off and counts toes

Re: The Barn Locker Room.....

Anybody got any pictures of coloring books,Tubberville record vs Bama BEFORE probation and coaching changes,one where he was crying like a panzy when he spoke to the press after jetgate,any Navid Nousel hairlip closeups,hay parades and the average I.Q. score of every baRner down on the farm?
We have a winning record against Bama (not by much -2 games I think) over the last 30 years. Let's get past the probation stuff. AU - Alabama has been hard fought for more years than most of us have been alive.

Edit: Except the Bear years... Thankfully coaches like Bear Bryant are rare. Saban has a long way to go to prove he can fill those shoes.

6 wins in a row - 2 = +4 for Bama. Not gonna matter much though. We will take our second straight against the barn on Friday. Oh, and guess what. We still have Saban and you have Chizik. I see the gap in the series getting very wide in Bama's favor over the next 10 years...

except the Bear's years? Is this some type of barner logic where you put all the variables in your favor and frame the issue? Saban has a long way to go to fill those shoes? True, but he still has as many national titles as you guys have in your history. I think he'll do fine at Bama. If he wins another MNC this year, then he's 1/3 of the way to Bear's status :). Good luck with Chiz.

What a shock you see it that way. BTW - Saban has never beaten Chizik. In fact. Chizik has enjoyed seeing a couple of AU victories over Bama in his years as DC at AU. The clock starts now and based on our currently ranked 7th recruiting class and rising . I wouldn't count on the recent domination Saban has enjoyed against a depleted AU team from Tubb's last efforts. 10 years is just a ridiculous estimate and goes against any history of our teams. We beat Saban plenty of times when he was at LSU and loved every minute of it. Bama has a killer team this year, but let's not get delusions of grandeur.

LOL at "currently ranked 7th recruiting class"; "What a shock you'd see it that way". Bama has had 2 #1 ranked classes in a row and will finish in the top 5 again this year. I'm not going to argue with you about this. Bama has been in the top 10 for two years straight, our record is 23-2 whereas AU's is 12-12. As many AU fans have told me, "quit living in the past". Results speak for themselves and games aren't won or lost on message boards. You and your Auburn friends know this, and I think most of you realize that Bama has a clear advantage this year and most likely in the next few years. The talent gap is huge right now. Good luck and I'm hoping for a huge Bama win but no injuries on either side.

Umm... Rivals sees it that way too. :rolleye2:

You are right about one thing, you have a clear advantage THIS year with your talent on field. Bama will most likely have another advantage next year, and even a slight one the year after that. What we have now wasn't what Chizik built and we are looking to what our current coach is doing and not what our previous left us. 10 years is still a nutty estimate. Unless we are under probation. Don't count on that.

Wow. Dude, don't try and tell me about how Rivals sees things. I'm a huge supporter of Rivals and a recruiting nerd. I know where AU is ranked, and I also know where Bama is ranked. I know where we could be ranked (1st) if a few more chips fall our way (we get Hicks or Luc, finish with Fulton and a few others).

Chizik has done a great job recruiting, but that's only half the battle. Developing the talent in the most important piece of the puzzle and Saban has proven that he can do that at a high level. Again, we will see how things play out on the field. That is all that matters.

Good luck Friday man. Have a good one.

Tubby and his staff, when hired, said they "would never lose to Bama"; 2001 and 2008 were mirages.
And who is talking about delusions of grandeur? Tubby was 3-2 against Saban at whoville (each team won at home each time) - so, 3-2 = "We beat Saban plenty of times while he was at LSU." Talk about delusional...man, I hope we stomp the crap out of them again; I have always said I don't care if we win each game by one point, but this one is special. I want to hear Barners whine some more.

Re: The Barn Locker Room.....

I would have bet the farm that Coach Saban's quote would be in the locker room there. I just think it's funny that they have to clarify by putting "(Auburn)" on there. Guess they need some help reading between the lines. I will say this, I'm pretty down right now, but have noticed that as we get closer, that fire inside is starting to finally build up a bit.
I was thinking the same thing.
