Sucked in again?
« on: August 02, 2013, 11:34:05 AM »
I am trying to be a realist. I know how bad we were last year. I know that I wasn't thrilled when we hired Gus. I know that we had the worst offense and defense I have ever seen at Auburn last year as well...

So why am I getting a little excited? Why do I feel like there is a little hope? Why do I feel like 8 wins is a possibility with the chance of shocking someone we didn't get within 38 points of last year?

Quote
A reporter asked Bray if the team's goals this season included a bowl trip.

He flashed a puzzled expression.

"Bowl game? We're shooting for national champs," the junior said. "Three-and-9 last year doesn't mean anything to us. We work hard to be national champs right now. Anybody doubting us right now is (doing) what they're supposed to do, but we know we worked hard for it. We're trying to get out the best results from what we put in."

I am not quite this confident, however, I hope that Gus has the guys going in the right direction. If Marshall can play, we really might have a shot at doing what I hope we can...

Bonerz. Realistic or not, that's absolutely the attitude I want our guys to have.

I'm with you. Have been all summer. A bowl game is a given, IMO. 7 total wins is my bar. Only six and I'm disappointed. 8 or more and I'm stoked. I tend to believe that I am not setting myself up for disappointment.

We're all playing for 2nd place.

At least that's what "Terry", the 60 year old, backwoods Bammer told us this morning on the radio.

"It's awwll over four it even starts.  The only thang that kin beat Bamah, is Bamah.  My sources tells me Saybinz got them boys red-ee an theyz better then lass yearz team."

Are you all out of your minds? 

If Nick Marshall is at least a Brent Schaefer, then maybe seven wins are assured. 

But this team was bad last year.  Really fucking bad.  It's going to take a monumental coaching effort and complete revolution in our players to turn this around in one year. 

I think 6-6 at best.  No losses by 21 or more points.

Sorry to disappoint, but................I'm on the 8 wins band wagon too. Yes, I agree, it has much to do with who is at QB. However, I believe the right Auburn football mentality of the hard hat wearing hard work type has been re-birthed. You mix that with Coach Malzahn and the rest of the Auburn coaching staff, I feel great about 8 wins with a solid bowl game.

Also, how sweet it would be to defeat the Crimson Tahd War Diddies with Coach Sabynz headed to Longhorn country soon after..........It should be illegal to have a hard on this big.

Of course, I've been guilty of being a bit of an optimist from time to time.

Jeebus, after the shots we used to take at Bama, saying "You've become Ole Miss", I hate to say that I'm hoping for something similar to what they did last year.

Anyone recall 2-10 in 2011?  New Corch that runs the Malzahn type, up-tempo offense.  New staff, new attitude.  Competitive in just about every game.  ( I seem to recall Texas putting one on them) Bowl game and the best recruiting class they've ever had to follow it up.  Sorry, but that's what I'm hoping for.  2-10 to a bowl game is pretty stout.  I think 3-9 to a bowl game would be awesome as long as we're competitive in all our games.

I am looking for 9 wins. We'll know what were really looking at after the first game. We blow them out, we'll be ok. We kick a field goal to win in overtime  :facepalm:  we lose :suicide:

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Certainly can't knock the kid for having a good outlook, but you should probably figure out who your QB will be before you start airing such lofty expectations to the public.
