Predicting this season to be disastrous for Auburn has become daily sport in some circles.
The same folks (plus others) predicted Chizik would fail because of his ISU record. WRONG...National Champions bitches!
Many predicted Chris Todd would suck in 2009 because of the 2008 fiasco. WRONG...Set Auburn Passing records.
I wrote last preseason that I basically thought we barely had SEC level talent at the defensive tackle position. WRONG...Zach Clayton drafted, and Nick Fairley wins Lombardi Award.
Many, including me, had trepidation about Cam coming in at QB. Some idiots would rationalize "wasn't Kodi supposed to be the next great QB at Auburn" as if that made any difference, but most weren't really expecting great things. WRONG....Heisman.
Most believe that Freshmen can't be counted on in the SEC. WRONG. Michael Dyer was certainly highly rated as a recruit, but he fucking broke the Auburn Fr. rushing record at Auburn (Running Back U) that has stood since one of the greatest to ever play college football set it nearly 30 years ago.
And I don't give a shit who puffs their chest out to post "I wasn't one of those naysayers!" Some were.
It's certainly reasonable to predict falloff from a National Championship team that graduated twenty something Seniors, plus lost a Heisman and Lombardi winner to the draft. Fuck, we watch recruiting because great players make great teams. You can't win with shitty players. We've recruited well the last 2 seasons. We'll be young, and in some places lacking experience, but that doesn't mean we will suck.
The fact that there are questions to be answered doesn't automatically mean the answers will be bad. It does mean there are questions, and thus predicting October before Sept. has been played...Meh, have your fun, I'll wait and see after Sept. has played out.
