Negative rant to follow:
After the 2017 AU/FUGA game, I started a thread saying that that particular football Saturday was what Auburn football is all about. Cool, overcast Fall day. Killer tailgate with friends. And Auburn beating the hell out of the team I hate the worst in the oldest rivalry in the South. All around great day.
However, there have been far too many of the exact opposite under Malzahn when it comes to this rivalry. This is a game you absolutely HAVE win at least half the time. Even though I was told there would be no math, I believe we are 2-5 against these assholes under Gus and let's face it, one of those wins was lucky as hell. Great win, but pulled out from deep in that ass.
With the exception of the quarterback position, we're just as talented as FUGA. Even though we won't be favored going in, we can definitely beat this bunch. We're in the friendly confines of JHS and I expect it to be nucking futts with the crowd giving those nasty, filthy dawgs a taste of what we got in Gainesville and Baton Rude. Every single Auburn fan with even a modicum of common sense knows that this game comes down to the gum chewing man in the vest and visor and what he does with his laminated sheet of genius.
Too often, we've watched him take a big, fat, steamy dump all over the bed against good defenses. He will most assuredly be facing one Saturday. Let me just say, on Saturday night, if I have to hear Gus Malzahn say, "We've got to do a better job of execution and that's on me.", I'm personally going to get an angry mob together, grab our torches and pitch forks and descend upon Yella Fella's house.
I'm going to go ahead and say it. Disagree with me if you want, that's fine. But IMO, we ain't outscoring that squad from the Crapstoned. So, if we come out of this season with losses in every single big conference game we played, including getting swept again by our biggest rivals, then I honestly don't give a shit who they replace Gus with. Just so he's not on our sideline anymore.
I'm not just expecting a win, I'm demanding one. (And I will stomp my feet and pitch a fit if I don't get one)
