Finebaum doesn't always attack, he puts a thought out there for the listeners...then he cuts to commercial break. That way the Shanes, the Auburngate, the Plains are burning people, and the Jims of the World can make up their own stories and state them as facts either on the National Radio or through websites. How long did the "Trooper is sleeping with the Tiger Hostesses' and got one pregnant" last? I think that little rumor is still going.
I know but with all of that nonsense aside, there is nothing on Auburn that truly ammounts to anything,
All Auburn has to do is win and the name is out there still fresh on everyone's radar. Auburn needs to deliver today on the road, just like Florida needs to take Alabama to the wire tonight after all of the chatter.
The SEC has been billed as the two Goliaths with size, speed and quality depth that no other can match. Simplified, this is what it was like as an Auburn fan in the days of Bryant. The Bam's spent a lot of time yapping about how good the opponent would be and win by two or three touchdowns. Hell Alabama should get credit for half of the "mystique" of travelling to Death Valley, Tiger Stadium at night.
Pffft!
Auburn has the talent and the coaching to remain a leader in this league and it needs to keep proving it.
No excuses, no moral victories; just go out each week and lay it on the line like Auburn did when Shug was HC.
It's time to shut-up and man-up, play some fucking defense and win.
