I enjoy the observations you've posted. That's pretty much what message boards are for. If people don't like it, don't read it. That's a concept people seem to struggle with. If I see a thread title that doesn't interest me, I don't click on it.

I haven't clicked on the sunglasses thread because I don't know anything about them, nor do I care.

I lived in B-ham for 3 years and got a pretty good taste for the SEC and the UA/AU rivalry (even went to an Iron Bowl), and there is no way you could compare forcing out Tuberville to the Dmac situation. AU beat UA 6 years in a row up until 2008. They averaged 8.5 wins per season over the 10 years he coached there, including a 13-0 season that most people think they deserved a shot at the national title. They won 9 games in 2007, the year before he was forced to resign. I'd say if Chizik loses to UA and doesn't at least have the tigers in position to win a SEC championship he's out of there.

Hmmm... Only 1 actually... Oakley are the way to go...

I posted in your one worthless thread because I wanted to point out to people that it had no substance... You assumed it was a Hawk fan, and it started a great debate about how classless both fan bases are.

This one I just don't understand the point... Actually funny thinking about it... the sunglasses thread is more vital then this one and the other.

That being the case why did they get rid of Tuberville?

Exactly, if they didn't think what Tuberville was doing was acceptable, what are they going to expect out of Chizik?

I'm not bashing Chizik at all btw, I just was pointing out how insanely high expectations are down south.

Agreed, but don't title the thread "Chizik has two years to win" (obviously trying to reel people in) when "Some random guy's opinion of Auburn football" would be a more accurate representation.

I think that's where the misunderstanding with this "concept" is sometimes.

All huevos busting aside I think Chizik references, specifically performance, are relevant. This year more than any other. I have stated in the past, if he pulls it off in 1 or 2 years down there, you might as well move this to in-state rivals and wait for the trolls to begin posting. My thoughts, no way does he even come close to Tuberville. In two years he will have the same work output as Pontiac

Thank you... Best Post of the day... I thought when I opened it, that it would be something from a website, or a person with some pull....

Not an ordinary Joe Blow that may or may not go to games. The title sucked me in... And of course.. I was let down.

Lay off bad postings guys. This is a message board. The whole thing is a group of opinions and stories meant to entertain. Cutting someone down who wanted to share a story is just being a snob. You guys are taking it way too seriously, especially for a FREE message board!

They will be happy with "w"s, but if he can't win right out of the chute, he's screwed according to this guy.

How so you know he was an Auburn fan? Did you just assume?

This has nothing to do with your post really... Except it got me thinking...

If I donated $5 to this site.. Can I declare that on my taxes next year??

I swear someday I will donate though.

Actually, I enjoy reading what others think about former coaches, players etc. Seems that's the point of a message board. And I'm fortunate to know some former players, current staff and others. Some things I know I share, some I can't. But for you it seems, the fun is knocking what other people think to build up yourself. If posting negative stuff after all of my posts is your mission in life, so be it. I won't play your game.

Good for you knowing players and coaches... Thats great.. Wish I had the same hook up... Not sure what that has to do with anything?? Oh well

Yes.. I get all my life pleasure posting negative stuff... Read my other posts before you paint this broad stroke.

When I post... I'll have a point. I won't assume false assumptions. And I'm only knocking you... And not because your a bad person, I just hate people taking an assumption and passing it off as fact. Seems having the truth isn't important anymore.

Ohhhh and by the way... You are playing my game... After everytime I have posted, you came back trying to slam me or post something negative about me...

Pot... Meet kettle...

The schedule does look pretty positive for Chizik in his first season there.Should have wins at Lousiana Tech, Miss. State, Ball State, Furman and pretty good shot at Arkansas. With those wins and one upset, he hits a bowl game. (Hopefully against Iowa State). They have a good group of players back. He might just be able to pull it off.
