Thoughts - Week 2

[Godfather]

Screw who we were playing, what I enjoyed most was that we showed improvement from one game to the next.  We never did that last year at any point.

That's all I've been saying.

[CCTAU]

Ya'll need to get your heads right.  ASU doesn't beat Auburn ever.  Not last year, not this year, not in 1979, not in 1998, not in 2008.  Not ever.  Our worst day, their best day.  It doesn't happen. 

That's how I felt too. Everybody keeps saying last years team would have lost. maybe the team at the end of the season. The one at the beginning of the season was still full of delusion.

[Godfather]

That's all I've been saying.

I know and when this all gets sorted out, I think you and me should get an apartment together!

I miss your musk...

Then how, in your estimation, did it take a miracle to beat ULM in overtime by a field goal in week 3? You know, the team that lost to Arkansas State 45-23, and also LA-Lafayette 40-24. Arkansas State beat ULL 50-27.

In other words, they weren't even a good Sunbelt team and we won by the narrowest of possible margins.

The Sunbelt champions would certainly have beaten us. There is a 0.000000% chance we would have beaten them by as many points as we did this year. It is as much a fact as the sun will rise in the morning.

But they still won. They didn't lay down and grab their balls until after the Clemson beatdown (and the delusion was gone). So how do you explain that they still won?

This discussion needs to die, so I'll try to kill it the best way I know how -

Anyone claiming that last year's team would have beaten Arkansas State simply because Auburn is Auburn and Arkansas State is Arkansas State is suffering a Bammerism.  For other examples of Bammerisms, see Alabama fans' reactions to the 2003 season, the 2nd half of the Iron Bowl in 2004, the 2nd half of the Iron Bowl in 2005, or the entire Mike Shula tenure.

[AUChizad]

Fun Fact: 2010 Auburn, the best Auburn team since at least 2004, and the only National Champions of my lifetime, beat Arkansas State by 30 points, 56-26. That was before Harsin, Malzahn, or Freeze. They really were a nobody at that time.

We beat them 38-9 this time. 29 points.

To say that we would have the same or better result during the worst season in program history is perhaps the dumbest thing I've ever read on this board.

I only said they would win. RIF

If we'd played Alabama A&M after falling to Clemson what would you have said then? 

[Godfather]

I'm not so sure we would have shown improvement last year.

Besides you said Washington State was a horrible team too, so we showed improvement over two horrible teams.

[djsimp]

I'm just glad I don't 99% should bumps when the AU D is trying to freakn tackle somebody. This year, I'm seeing some poppin and gang tackling going on.

[GH2001]

As have most my friend.

This was for you (hence the quote function), with a little bit for Kaos sprinkled in.

I don't do quote functions. They are before my time!

[Snaggletiger]

WSU and ASU.  About equal talent IMO.  One came straight at AU for the most part while the other flung it all over the field.  Decent ball clubs capable of beating a lot of teams on any given night. So, good tests for a team coming off the most shittastic of fail seasons. 

Against WSU, we had to (And did) fight til the final bell.  Made enough plays on D and special teams to win, with a great night from Corey Grant.  This past Saturday, got stronger on D as the night went on to the point that we owned them in the 4th.  The offense was much more balanced with Marshall playing better, 3 backs contributing and a bunch of receivers getting touches.

We improved from week 1 to week 2.  I'm still happiest to see us competing with a little of the old swagger back.  (Can you still say swagger?)

I think you have to say swagga...with an a, not an er...

It's cool: Snags has a swag friend.

Just wondering since nobody mentioned. 

Missouri 41 ASU 19

"Big win for the zoos?"

Should be noted that ASU was up 16-14 in the third before Miss-zoo went nuts. Should also be noted that Misszoo was throwing passes with two minutes left to pad the score.
