Re: Alabama to play...

Wins of diminished value if we want this program to ultimately compete for the big prize. But you're probably right...we shouldn't expect to beat a USC... Just like we shouldn't ever make it to a College World Series. I mean why weigh yourself down with goals or aspirations. You know what, since me...

Re: Alabama to play...

Looks like Bama admin listened to what the playoff committee will be looking for. Annnnd, they are Bama. Who don't have much to fear from any OOC team on earth. We, on the other hand, are still building, still improving and still trying to claw our way into the top tier of the conference. Once we r...

Re: Has anyone else seen the Elite dawgs thread on

I don't get the Dak love. His stats were pedestrian last season. He has potential, but even if he improves ten fold this season he still isn't a Heisman contender. SSSSsssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, pile on that Dak for Heisman pressure. Pile it on THICK and HIGH. Heisman pressure ALWAYS seems to work out g...

Re: Are We A West Contender This Fall?

I refuse to cower in a corner or apologize for believing in this team (and this coach) this year. I have not done it in a way that attacks anyone else or calls them names. It is simply what I believe. I was told my expectations were too high last year when I said we were better than Texas and that ...

Re: Are We A West Contender This Fall?

I won't be upset if we don't win the West. But, I also think we have a better than average shot at it. I want improvement overall. I wanna see more sacks, better 'up the middle' running, Bo with a strong arm, and our receivers cut loose. I can't wait to see how good our defensive backfield is. Peop...

Re: Are We A West Contender This Fall?

1) Freeze essentially said in the pre-game interview for the 2012 Texas Game that his team was not ready to be on the field with Texas 2) I know that Bama is still Bama and Saban is still Saban, but in the last three years Miles, Sumlin and Malzahn each schemed ways to beat him. Why not Freeze? Esp...

Re: Are We A West Contender This Fall?

oxpatchreb: this is a message board, and everyone is entitled to an opinion. But, for the record, the idea that certain posters expecting a breakout season makes everyone else look foolish is about the worst, most program-apologetic post I've ever read. Good God, man, can you really believe that me...

Re: Are We A West Contender This Fall?

If you want to see the difference positive coaching and attitude can make over negative coaching and attitude just look at our 2012 game against Texas vs our 2013 game. We lost the 2012 game before we ever walked on the field because our coach didn't think we had a chance and coached like that. In ...

Re: Are We A West Contender This Fall?

Why not? Auburn went from winless to winning the SEC in two years. Who expected that? You're placing way too much emphasis on recruiting rankings, past history and conventional wisdom. For that matter, no one expected our baseball team to win the West, go to Omaha and finish in the Final Four, but ...

Re: Are We A West Contender This Fall?

If our team has this attitude, we are already done. There is nothing "stupid or naive" about believing this team has a GOOD shot at contending for the West. We play a Bama team breaking in a new QB in Oxford relatively early in the schedule, we get Auburn and MSU in Oxford. Arkansas and T...

Re: Are We A West Contender This Fall?

Two to four years? We'd be way underachieving if that's your time span. And what do you mean, stop it? Settling for mediocrity doesn't cut it with me. Freeze has recruited to win a title, and I expect to see results sooner, not later. This is year #3 in Freezes tenure. If we had followed a normal r...

Re: Are We A West Contender This Fall?

I see a high-end result, based on our tough defense, experienced QB play which is at a premium and skill positions. I know we have to stay healthy, particularly on the O-line, but maybe we're due some breaks there. I see no reason why we can't be in every game, including the ones that the 'experts'...

Re: Replacements for Godwin....

While I think the UL hitting coach would be great, Stephen Head would be a good coach also. Surely he has witnessed first hand How Godwin coached and could at the very least mimic that. scott We don't want a coach to "copy cat" what another coach did, because then he can only coach effect...
