And...it's typical bammer to talk shit about something they have no right to talk shit about.
It's like claiming dominance over us in this last decade because you beat us once since I graduated high school.
ULM DID beat you two seasons ago. LaTech has a streak going on you. You can't talk shit to Auburn for playing a "cupcake" that has beaten your ass twice since half a decade after the championship you guys talk about like it happened yesterday. Even if we somehow lose the game, you still do not reserve the right to talk shit until you have ended the streak they have against you. Let alone just talk shit about the mere fact that we're playing them.
Last I checked, I haven't claimed dominance over AU the past decade. The table is starting to slant back our way some, but we have in no way, shape, or form dominated AU over the past decade. You are simply imagining me saying otherwise.
Yes, ULM did beat us. They were a shitty team. They still are. There is no way in hell they should have beaten us, but they did. Just because they beat us doesn't make them great. We simply lost to a shitty team. Probably the same case with us losing to them in '97 and '99. We sucked total ass in '97...it was our worst team in 40 years (sound familiar?). Still, we should have won. In '99 we shouldn't have lost to La Tech either. But, we did. We also went on to beat AU, UF, and win an SECCG. So, who the fuck knows. Wait, we lost to La Tech but then beat AU? You guys got beat by a team that lost to La Tech? Ewwwww! See, nobody gives a fuck about that either.
If you're trying to prove that they aren't a cupcake in two weeks, you shouldn't really go back 12 years. 1999 was the last season this past decade, other than '08, that La Tech won 8 games or more. Almost half of the seasons in that span were 4-win or less seasons. La Tech is a shitty team. It reminds me of how shitty MSU has been the past 6 years. Shitty, shitty, then '07 is an 8-win season and MSU is supposedly a contender again. Then in '08, they are actually "down". Fuck no they weren't down, they simply returned to true form. When 4-8 is your second best season in 6 years, that means you're a shitty team. There is no "down" year. You might overachieve somehow one season, but that doesn't entitle you to "down" status when you return to form next season.
Do I give a shit that you guys are playing them? No. Everybody plays cupcake teams, especially as openers. But hey, its nice to see you're already crafting a defense if they end up punking you guys. Its amusing that you have already created a rule, special made for this doomsday scenario. The fact of the matter is, we will laugh at you if it happens. Nobody gives a shit if they beat us twice 10-12 years ago. No SEC team should lose to La Tech, just the same no SEC team should lose to ULM. Ever.
Birdman, sorry for making your head explode once again. I love you.
