Title: Can beating Furman and going to Shreveport or Birmingham be a sign of improvent?

Not no but hell no.
This is Auburn and we don't get excited about pounding cupcakes into submission and going to laughable bowls.

A bowl vs. NO bowl is better.  I can't disagree with the last statement.  However, the extra practice time could be extremely valuable as we look ahead to next year.

A sign of improvement from last year?  Ummmm....yes, (6-6) is better than (5-7).  Even if Auburn losses the bowl game (6-7) is still better than (5-7).

Also, bammers like yourself needs to realize that every year won't be like the '04 year.  Auburn has fallen flat on their face (5-7) and it started two years ago with a coaching staff that somewhat didn't care and that started with recruiting (the lifeblood of a football team).

I agree, also in this case 6 is better than 5.

Really, that's what I've been trying to convince myself of for the last....wait...oh, football.

Realistically, though, we're one Pat White away from being exactly where we were a year ago (barring a miracle turnaround).

Ummm no, its not Prowler. With all due respect to you look at our losses last year. One blowout. One game where the team looked in TOTAL Fucking disarray. Just one. We were in every game last year but the last one. The Defense was great aside from the last half of the last game of the season. This team looks like a TOTAL cluster. Chizik looks lost.

Yes, GW is a kook, but every now and then, lost in some of his senile diatribes, there is a fact or two. And this is one of them. Does anyone really think Arkansas has more talent than Auburn? I know its debatable but at worst, they are even in talent. What about Kentucky? Depth Schmepth....even with depth issues we have more talent than friggin Kentucky. No sir, there is a HUGE problem in Auburn, and only part of it is depth.
