I just hope the game can be played. 

I think it will be. I am interested to see who will be missing from our team on Sat

How important is the Tennessee game? Well I'll put it this way. It won't look good for Malzahn if he loses to UT in 2018 and again this year.

[gr82b4au 5,569]

Well... we may not me playing TN this weekend. Still up in the air.

This game has big implications for recruiting.  Jboy mentioned a couple names on his podcast from Sunday.  Didn't Auburn lose out on some guys during the summer to Tennessee?  The way things are going for them I'd say there is a good chance you could get some guys questioning their choice if Auburn could put a pounding on UT.

According to rivals the SEC was thinking about switching opponents to divisional games. Seems like it is too late, right?

You are probably right but if he loses out, including a loss to ms st, it would be catastrophic for his career. 
I think this TN game could be a chance to prove to everyone, including recruits, that we have turned the corner. 

Beating a 2-4 UT team is evidence that Auburn has turned the corner? 

IMHO, if someone needs evidence of what this coaching staff can do all they have to do is look at the last 5 yrs to see what they are capable of achieving/underachieving. 😒

Hmmm, I'll say it has oodles & oodles of importance?

Just trying positivity for once. I have been hammering Gus and have wanted him fired for years so I thought I would give this a try. Haha seems like we are stuck with him.

I think we beat the s*** out of ut. If we don’t have to go without too many key players. 

[Zeek 16,922]

I think a win means almost nothing but a loss means a whole lot. 

[gr82b4au 5,569]

Ok now rivals says it is official that we are playing TN. 
let’s go get them

Nothing would make Pruitt happier than to beat Auburn!   Their QB looked like Peyton Manning the last time they beat AU.  I remember so many third and longs and TN completing fade routes left and right.

And that’s a helluva predicament to be in with a $49 million Head Coach.

Gus better hope that Chad doesn’t revert to Gus’ terminology this week.

In a perfect world, that would've been Gus' last game at Auburn.

Especially when cameras panned over to Pruitt calling Auburn's offensive playcall's out to his defenders on the field.  That baldheaded goob read Gus like a book.

Hey, I actually live in Knoxville. I am completely surrounded by UT fans. Do I hope Auburn wins? YES! OF COURSE!

Do I think it makes any difference? Um, NOPE!

Auburn will not fire Malzahn for the same reason Michigan will not fire Harbaugh.

Just let the contract run out. No extensions. No buyout. Use tghe next 14 months to do your search for a new head coach. Goodbye GM with no loss.

 

I have the same fate of living in Knoxville surrounded by the putrid Big Orange.  I dread going into work the Monday following a loss to UT.  It's because of having to listen to the UT fans after a loss I almost dread this game more then most others...

I respect that. Personally, I don't think Auburn can beat a team that beat Florida, but we have had TAMU's number lately. I'm hesitant to think that AU will bounce back after getting clobbered by Alabama.

I think that was more a case of UF underperforming. I’m just not sold on the TAMU hype. I don’t think they have a QB, and I don’t think Jimbo Fisher is a good coach. They’re going to have to win more than 1 game against a good opponent for me to buy the hype. If the team really has gotten better and continues to do so, I think we’ll handle TAMU.

AU still scored 24 points. Now, if somebody was calling out our defensive sets I could understand giving up 30 points to a Tennessee team that scored 13 on Vandy, 14 on Charlotte and 17 on Mizzou. But, they hung 30 on AU. Overall a sad performance but the defense stunk it up as bad or worse than the offense did.

[gman87 405]

I thought we had 3 turnovers to UT. You don't win many games like that.

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,992]

I mean you just can't lose lol

 

I don't know any other way to put i

Well how do you believe in Auburn and our hype?

Gus is 1-5 vs. Pruitt.
