And the kicker who won this game went on the become the all time leading scorer at Auburn, the final three points of his career being the game winning field goal in the BCS 2010. Good stuff, WDE!
pianomikie I agree. Cox was an under appreciated QB. If Tubs had turned Borges loose, Auburn might have been able to close out another SEC Championship.
This team, to me, will always be the best, most talented auburn team to ever suck lol. How they managed to lose to both South Florida and Miss State, I'll never understand.
War Eagle Yeah Tommy was a hell of a coach then after 6 strait wins over Alabama one close loss and they fired his ass but I Love Malzhan coaching here now
War Eagle! Also, brought back bad memories due to the ticker at the bottom. Seeing the Mets score from that day and knowing of the impending collapse the very next day.
Tommy Tuberville wasnt fired (by forced resignation) because he had a shitty year in 2008. He was fired because of who was at Alabama, having an undefeated year in only his second year there, while he was having a shitty year in 2008 lol. Had Nick Saban not taken the job at Alabama, I'm 99% sure Tommy Tuberville would still be at Auburn with a couple nattys. After 2003, everything was in place. It was all there. Undefeated in 2004..Then, Brandon Cox--who may have been the most underrated quarterback in the history on the southeastern conference--took the reigns, but just a series of fluke injuries and bouts of shitty luck and being blown out by shitty Arkansas and UGAly teams that they should've beaten by 40 kinda fucked them. Although, if im not mistaken, 2006 and 2007 they would beat the eventual National Champion both years....actually...i know they did in 2006, not sure about 2007. Im pretty sure they did rhough.
I was confused about some of those rankings until i realized it's from 2007, the craziest year in college football. Hawaii at 19? West Virginia at 5? 😂😂😂
Bammers are still butt-hurt over Cam, and now Oregon and Miss. St. are on probation and AU came out clean which AU fans knew we would the whole time. And they still talk about buying Cam, really bammers, Saban pays better than most NFL teams and with even talent he isn't that great and you know you claim recruiting national titles and big booster money bought those fictional titles.
Haha I thought about that as soon as I posted that. Almost that whole team made it all the way. I look forward to a great A-Day this spring and season in the fall WDE!!!
And now Auburn is trash and Florida is ranked per usual. Florida also has 3 titles, Auburn has 1. By comparison, by coaching staff and talent, Florida is probably going to body Auburn next year. And the game is in Gville too.
Chizik wasn't cut out as a Head Coach, but his accomplishments as a Defensive Coordinator speak for themselves...THREE consecutive Thorpe Award Winners, TWO undefeated teams, TWO National Championships, 2001 (#13 scoring defense), 2002 (#13 scoring defense), 2003 (#9 scoring defense) and 2004 (#1 scoring defense), 2005 (#8 scoring defense), 2006 (#26 scoring defense). Any Defensive Coordinator minus Kirby Smart and his roided-up 5-stars will take those numbers.
Chizik's brilliant defense gave up 24 points to John L Smith and your 5* QB scored 7 points and like 50 interceptions on the worst Arkansas defense I have ever watched. You should be glad that clown is gone. Chizik was horrible.
What would you like? I have videos of Iron Bowls 1982, 1983, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1993, 1995, 1997, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2010. Or would you prefer 1972 Punt bammer Punt?
LOL Stan White is such a homer. Everyone is always cheating auburn, etc etc. Why wouldn't Lee Corso pick UF? They were ranked 4th and auburn off two loses. SMH
Could have sworn Chizik was Tuberville's Defensive Coordinator in 2002 (#13 ranked scoring defense), 2003 (#9 ranked scoring defense) and 2004 (#1 ranked scoring defense). Also could have sworn Chizik hired Auburn's current Head Coach who was his Offensive Coordinator in 2009 (#17 ranked scoring offense) and 2010 (#7 ranked scoring offense). Nah...couldn't have happened.
