FoundationEagle 637 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I think we should all stand in a circle around the team and sing kumbaya win or lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,055 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I'm hoping Memphis will be a completely different team without their coach. SW should be healthy by the bowl game so I feel like our offense will move the ball. I see Auburn winning a 34-31 kinda game. Which defense plays the best will be the difference maker. Memphis is a good team so losing to them this season isn't reason to set the couches on fire or shot the tv. A win would be big going into the off season for Auburn.

Win4AU 4,055 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I don't know, the fact that a good bit is very accepting to a loss from Memphis is pretty messed up imo I'd agree any year but this one. This is a Memphis team that beat the 2nd best team in the SEC by 10 points. I do believe Ole Miss is the 2nd best after the season ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weegle777 78 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I couldn't care less at this point if we win or lose that game. The practice is really what they needed. The outcome is meaningless really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUbritt 611 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I don't know, the fact that a good bit is very accepting to a loss from Memphis is pretty messed up imo I want to win every single game we play. A losing season would be ridiculous. We better go into this game playing hard to win it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnthePlains 2,014 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 As a fan 7-6 will feel better than 6-7, though realistically I don't think it will affect the coaches and players heading into next year either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubiefifty 17,479 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 i believe memphis is a really good team and if the coaching change is not a distraction i think we are a dog fight. it is what it is. someone said they were not great stopping the running game so this gives me hope. and if we do not hire a dc until after OUR bowl game it gives gus the chance to see coach thompson in action. who knows at this point...........

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 If we lose this bowl game, it won't look good for Gus. He's already lost back to back bowl games and a 3rd bowl loss is good. Besides, a 6-7 record will not cut it at big time football program like Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd stated during the season that Gus needed to make changes and listen to people suggesting he make different changes. Do you feel like he has begun to make those changes and is listening to those that he should? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 34,093 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 No, we should not lose to Memphis nor should we not care or be indifferent to it. Really, Gus hasn't won a bowl game as an HC. I think it is about time for it to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bathel 50 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I almost wish we didn't make a bowl game... it's a no win situation in my mind. If we win, who cares. If we lose... it could be very painful in recruiting and media... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,084 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Improving. Seeing if things are sticking, if concepts are working. The offense needs to show improvement. It's important to the psyche of the players. Especially if SW is the qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose... it could be very painful in recruiting and media... I care if we win. Most Auburn fans do. As far as losing and affecting the media outlook, who cares? As far as recruits, I kind of doubt it would affect their perception of Auburn, we did have a particulary unfavorable regular season leading up to this point.

We'll just have to disagree because I know Gus is taking this bowl game very serious. It means a lot for Gus next year. I understand.....and I accept that this game is important to Gus since some folks consider him to be on the "hot seat" and a loss would reinforce the feelings of some folks who are after his hide. Just speaking from a personal standpoint that I don't put much stock in the outcome of any bowl game. That said, I'm hoping we get a good win...and maybe get some people (and you know who I mean) off his case until we get a couple games behind us next season. I expect him to cure some of the offensive problems that doomed this season...but probably not before December 30th. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
