Sticking around.

I don't blame the SEC championship loss on Gus. That was going to be tough no matter what. And Auburn played decent despite so many things stacked against them.

I do blame the LSU loss on Gus though. And I am pretty damn sure that if Auburn beats LSU, Auburn is #4 in the final polls and playing for a national championship.

But, Gus beat UGA and Alabama at home, and will get a big ass raise, close to $7M/year, another extension and a large buy-out.

Crazy. $7M/year for Gus.

Strange world we live in...

And what do we get in return?  The Peach Bowl against Central Florida.  Our administration is fucking insane.

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

Oh I'm madder than hell.  Not at Gus (except a maybe a little) and not at the team or at Auburn. 

So I'm going to look away from the ledge for just a second. 

*takes a breath, holds nose* 

Name the other SEC teams that have played in two straight Big Six bowl games or whatever the fucking fuck they're called.

It's Jays parting gift to Auburn fans. 

I wish I would get lucrative pay increase to grow mediocrity crops and nailing a bumper one every 5 year.

Frick the supply side...I would get nailed from customers for growing shit.

I don't get it.  Well I do but I don't agree with the system in place for college athletics.

I feel like I need to preface everything I say with, I like Gus. Because I do. But, I just believe he finally did his job better this year and then we reward him for doing what he had already agreed to do in a contract that wasn't fulfilled yet.

Why in the fuck have a contract? These mofos win a few games and want to renegotiate. It's totally one sided. They can leave whenever they want and pay a miniscule pay out, a lot of the time anyway.

It is sickening because even though I think Gus is a decent coach, I certainly don't think he's worth this. Where does the justification come from?

If there were actually business people making the decision, with experience in risking their own money, I doubt this contract would've ever made it.

Coach Malzahn is among the 7 finalist for Coach of The Year award. If Auburn beats UCF in the Bowl game, it'll only be the 6th time in Auburn history that Auburn won 11 games (Malzahn would be part of the last 3 times).

I do wonder if our fans realize that the peach bowl is top of the heap outside of the playoff bowls this year. The pecking changes from year to year with the playoff bowl rotation.

We will vent. We will get frustrated. We will bitch

But yeah you're right. It will all be for simply getting it out. He's unfirable for a while. Good. Or bad. So enjoy the good.

This is apples and oranges now.  The measuring stick of 11 wins is not the same as it was before a playoff or the SEC championship. 

I would contend that to be on par with what was an 11 win year you now need 12 or 13.

"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."
