That's not how any of this works.
I've been around this for centuries. Our current recruiting status is worse than I've seen in my lifetime which dates back to pre-Barfield days.
I don't know how many ways I can say this, but there is no energy, excitement or enthusiasm about the program. It's a dead, rotting skunk lying on the highway. Zero street rep. None. The rest of the SEC is kicking our dicks in. We are legitimately standing at the precipice of a Tennessee-like trek through a desert the likes of which most of you have never experienced.
Guess what? We aren't getting to 5-0. We aren't getting to 4-1. 3-2 is the most likely outcome, but 2-3 isn't a stretch. After that, losing four of the next five isn't out of the question.
I liked the Harsin hire initially. For maybe a day. Then I saw his family/entourage and had immediate misgivings. Once he fucked the goat at Penn State, everything from that point had the stench of shite about it.
We're on the verge of unrecoverable blue-screen error, the kind of fuckery from which there is no easy return.
I know you want to honk the trumpet, wes, but you're farting into a cat-5 hurricane bearing down on us.
When are you guys gonna learn?
We're 3-2. I told ya. We should be 2-3. I FUCKING TOLD YOU. Nobody wanted to listen. Well, listen now.
In the last 11 games, Auburn is 3-8 and has a TOTAL of 22 fourth quarter points in those games (excluding OT). Twenty fucking two, ladies.
I don't care that the game was closer tonight. Why? Because given the state of recruiting, this is the BEST we're going to get for the next few years. It's not going to get better, it gets worse from here.
Even if they somehow manage to win enough games to get to a shitty mid- to lower- tier bowl? (Won't happen) The downhill slide will just continue.
A win tonight wouldn't change that or solve anything. Losing in the patented Harsin way - blowing double-digit lead and not scoring shit in the second half - hopefully edged his leather-clad family closer to the exit sign.
Is this asshole really the all-time AU leader in coughing up double digit leads? I heard that somewhere.
