What is it about Auburn?

What is it about Auburn?
« on: September 17, 2013, 09:02:22 AM »
Since 1993, Auburn has had the following records:

11-0
9-1-1
8-4
8-4
10-3
3-8
5-6
9-4
7-5
9-4
8-5
13-0
9-3
11-2
9-4
5-7
8-5
14-0
8-5
3-9

We have for the past twenty years achieved more undefeated seasons than any other BCS school.  However, we seem to shit the bed every five years (or so) and have to rebuild entirely. 

What do you think it is about Auburn that we are able to consistently achieve perfection while also struggling to maintain elite status?

You have coaches who quit fulltime coaching while at the same time quit/slacked off recruiting.

That means we're losing 18.6% of the time.  Or winning 84% of the time if you're a glass half full kind of guy.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Would you consider an 8-5 season with losses to all of our rivals a successful season?

I wouldn't.

Are you talking this year or meaning on a consistant basis?

Because this year hell yeah, after this year I hope to hell not.

As of right now, I'd say it's a consistent basis.

We're o-for against our three biggest rivals outside of Cam Newton since 2008.  And in 2007, we only beat Alabama but lost to LSU and Georgia.

hence the reason we have had 2 new coaches in a 5 year period.  I'd much rather be us than Tennessee though.
