"He's the best QB we've had on campus since Jeremy Johnson." -Gus

If gets Gus fired this year, he should look for a job in marketing.

Bammers be scared.

Fortunately, Gus didnt recruit this one from HS.

We all know what happens when a juco QB starts.

Since he never took a JR college snap, I don't he should be considered at JR. College QB.

He'll probably play 5 top 20 defenses this year which will be 5 more than he's ever played against at Baylor.

I guess Sean White got processed?

#pleasesavemyjob -GUS

What the hell took so long? They're half way through camp and they finally realize he's the guy? That's a bad sign my Auburn friends...

Gus couldn't make up his mind.......

I don't care who it is. Just don't play three of them during the first series of the game.

Thank you.

Let the Bammer bashing begin. Maybe if we beat Clemson that will silence them....... Wait duct tape and a ball gag can't stop them from ranting and raving about 2 million national championships and how great they are or how hot all their cousins they've dated were rowl tard...

70 yards on 39 carries, the SEC defenses will eat him alive.

1992 we claim 12
"Naw, y'all only have 9" -auburn fans

2009 we claim 13
"Naw, y'all only have 9" -auburn fans

2011 we claim 14
"Naw, y'all only have 9" -auburn fans

2012 we claim 15
"Naw, y'all only have 9" -auburn fans

2015 we claim 16
"Naw, y'all only have 9" -auburn fans

Sad part is we played a better game against Clemson from a defense standpoint and Bama supposed to be the best defense in the country last year. The secret is to have a 5 ft tall white receiver in the slot and Bama can't stop him. Insert Will Hastings (Renfrow 2.0)

You remind me of that mechanic in Vacation that tells Chevy Chase after he walked through the desert.."How can anybody be as gosh darn stupid as you"?

Go back and look at the last post you started. The majority of the negative post about AU are from barners. Look at the post i made about Stidham may be the real deal and the barn might be undefeated in Oct.

Sounds like you've got it all figured out.

Maybe they should hire you after they run Gus

Great idea. He has as many excuses as ole Gus..

Saban what happened " we didn't execute at a high level" same answer for everything. He probably tells that to his wife when the midget blows his load too early

I'd be angry if I were you too.

Toilet paper surplus I can only imagine

Your season will start and end with a loss Bammers. But yall will win the recruiting championship like always so keep your spirits up.

JF3 says hello....

Want to bet?

I've been looking for a good short term investment

When Gus talks about the team, he has that "I woke up next to a fat chick" look on his face... He needs the pep talk

Cool story bro. Of the 9 years between '83 and '92, which 6 did "you" win championships in? Or is that when the Tuscaloosa Time Machine was invented?

Wayne Atcheson, then sports information director, now curator of the Billy Graham library in North Carolina, made the decision in 1991 to claim 6 titles that were awarded to the University of Alabama football program that previous administrations didn't acknowledge

Why they didn't I don't know. As you probably know, (or might not) titles were awarded before bowl games then

I wish we didn't claim 1941

But I also know there are 2 or 3 other legit ones we should

Hey Bob, That's pretty cool a barner has a 1983 Bama media guide!!


I don't get bend out of shape over the total number, I just know it eats at your ass however many Bama has won is a heck of a lot more than the barn has

We'll get to see Stidham start and play for the first sixty seconds of their first possession and then we'll get to see the other eight QB's that'll make auburn great

Far from dumb ass just a little bit of a smart ass sometimes. I love too poke fun during football season. Hope no one gets offended. This is what makes the rivalry fun

What's the bet? I may be interested. Nothing extreme. Just for shits and giggles

these auburn fans are gonna have to speak up.. its kind of loud up here at the top

I can promise you that it's not possible for me to care any less how many Bama has won vs Auburn. If Auburn loses every game this season, my mortgage won't go up, I'll still have my job, and still hunt every weekend. I'll still go to bed each night knowing that I attended an awesome university that means a hell of a lot more to me than a football game. Doubt 85% of elephant fans can say the same. Lives are ruined when Bama loses. And it is because there is a large portion of Bama fans whose entire self worth is dependent on how well a bunch of 18-22 year old young men perform on Saturday.

Your 85% number may or may not be right

But I feel exact same about it as you.

I just worry less about losing every game this season

Can't argue with that

I cant say I disagree with anything above. But you sure do bash bama a lot for someone who really doesn't care. As for AU itself, it is a fantastic university. Very nice campus, great college life. Ive had the opportunity to attend several extended classes at AU and really enjoyed the time there. With all that said, the football team sucks, always been jealous of Bama and if Pat Dye ever said anything that was the truth it was when he said AU couldn't catch Bama tradition in 500 years...

Serious question for you Auburn fans: IF...IF Sean White were to leave the team now, could they afford to let Stidham to run any? I think Sean White standing on the sidelines or not affects game plan and play calling. Who is #3??

I'm sure that has to be in back of their minds. I would guess that freshman Malik Willis would be the #3. But I have no way of knowing for sure.

Stidham isn't a runner. Sure he's somewhat mobile if the pocket collapses but he's not a true Marshall/Newton read option qb. If Gus designs the offense that way with him at qb he's even dumber than he looks

Ole Chris4wde2 sounds like he has some getting some private lessons from Burbank.
We all know Burbank likes treble hooks, but I thought he would have at least learned not to continue with the use of the #boom........

I really don't think that hashtag ever lived up to expectations, but then again, he should be used to that

Summary of Gus's career as head coach:

2013: Lucky, fluke wins
2014: Luck ran out
2015: Jeremy Johnson pre-season Heisman contender
2016: Lashlee takes over playcalling, QB shuffles, Gus now CEO
2017: JUCO QB who never played a down in JUCO is proclaimed savior

I just love my team just like you love yours. #Boom lol

This is accurate

according to my auburn fan friends Malik is 2 now and White is 3.

Which probably means White will be starting by game 3. Don't forget, Gus had his best RB siting on the bench the first 2 games last year.

From what I'm told is that if the season was on the line, Willis would go in. He's been that impressive. If the season weren't on the line, or a game is out of hand, either way, White plays and they try to save a Redshirt for Willis. The situation will dictate what they do. If it calls for dynamics, then it is Willis. If experience and steadiness is better, White is the man. they know what they have with White. Putting Willis in is a gamble. He has the potential to be the best player on the field, or the worst. I think Gus is going to be a little leery depending on a QB based on potential. We've been torched by that before.

Ain't nothing wrong with pulling for your team, but when you act like Cousin Eddie, you're gonna catch the wrath. No matter who your team is.

There it is...developer of men, wins don't matter, blah blah blah junk. Just fold the football program up or promote Saturdays as "come hear the band play and watch a little football break out". Just stop this cry baby crap about your life continuing on because if that were true you wouldn't even be posting in here. You worship the same God most of the rest of the state worships on Saturdays.

LOL @ ELEPHANTS FAN REFERENCE..

SIPS WATER

Nice. Never once said I didn't care about football or that I didn't care if Auburn loses. I said it doesn't dictate how I spend every waking hour like some others. Good try though. I am in the woods on Saturday by way. I watch my football on Sunday night when I get home from TN. If Auburn loses on Saturday, I wake up Sunday morning and head for a tree stand just like I would if they won. I come on here just to watch the train wreck, and talk shitt if I feel like it. No more, no less. I can also promise you the God I worship has nothing to do with football.

There is a bit of irony in these 5 sentences.

Care to explain?

1) You mention God several times
2) You hunt Sunday mornings, assuming not going to church
3) You threw a curse word in there
4) You mention worshiping God in the next sentence

Really? That's the irony?

1) Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than sitting in your garage makes you a car. I am a lot closer to him sitting in my tree stand watching the sun rise over his creation than anywhere else I care to be.
2) If saying a curse word is the worst thing I do today, I'll take it.

You fellas can keep reaching all you want.

BTW, learn the definition of several Phil.

this turned really quick.

I didn't point the finger, another poster did. Don't get confused

I LOVE IT! IT'S DAMN NEAR FOOTBALL TIME Y'ALL! LET THE SMACK BEGIN!

Y'all need to stick to the religion of football and leave folks churchin preferences alone.

You didn't point the finger but you Damn sure fanned the flame!

Phuck watching dudes play football. I'm taking up women's beach volleyball to watch from now on.

Damn, y'all are bailing early this year

Nah. Just could care less about watching dudes bend over to toss ball around like you do.

I assume you mean you couldn't care less.

If you could care less it means you care a great deal

I knew that'd get you.

Every time

Yea because the SEC has been known for the defensive side of the ball in the last few years

Go to bed old man......in case you haven't realized....the defense's have been waaayyyy down in the SEC. Actually they are down right horrible.

I missed that I guess

3 ranked in the top 64......I'm not sure what it takes for you to consider one bad but they are far from good.

Where are you getting your defensive stats from? There were 3 SEC defenses ranked in the top 10 nationally last year (2. Bama 5. Florida 10. LSU). UGA and Auburn were also in the top 30.

Hell...evidently i can't read or count. I blew right past Georgia and Florida. I guess i was looking for teams out of the west.

It's the Teague coming out in ya

You just like to argue too much.

Teague + aubie = blah blah blah

I believe Saban had his best Qb on the bench the first game also.

For a series,...

Tigger, I know your a big AU fan, which is perfectly fine. But it almost sounds like your defending the nose picker Gus? Are you a Gus fan as well?

Not only did Saban bench his best qb to start the season, he benched his offensive coordinator for the last game. Stupid ass cost his team and university a national title.

Hehe..cost his team a national title?.REB go watch the 2013 Aub-FSU game if you wanna see a dumb ass at work.Maybe the biggest choke job in the history of the title game.Y'all WERE kicking their ass...HAHA but Gussy got cute with his coaching.

Highschool coach does it again.

#whahadhappenwas

This is great reading

you guys crack me up.

No I'm not but he's what we got for a little longer.

How much goddamn longer?

Stickman is gonna win the hypesman ya know..........

My honest take on the Stidham is over rated talk:

I think he has a great arm and accuracy, but the pressure was like nothing he has ever seen before. Hopefully he'll learn going into SEC play that you can't hold the ball that long. Tuck it and run if you have an open lane or throw to a check down receiver or throw it away. He's got the arm and accuracy when he gets used to this level of play he should be an asset. I don't say over rated by any means. I just say that he was thrown into the fire against what looks to be a superior defense. That's a tough way to start shaking off rust. My big disappointment is that with all the talk of a new coordinator, it still looked like Gus was calling the plays.

Come on, he didn't even look good last week.

True. He hasn't looked good yet, consistent or wholly confident. His head coach is calling plays again despite hiring the vaunted OC who supposedly was given the keys to the kingdom and the QB. Clemson's defense plastered his ass all night - they're a strong, confident defense and Venables planned well.

They're a phuckin' mess down there -- again -- and until changes are made, it won't matter.

Although I'm a devout "Bammer", sworn enemy of the barn, I am a Stidham fan. Give the guy a break. Yesterday was his 5th college start. Everything is still new for him. He was playing in one of the toughest college venues against one of the best defenses. He has a total Buffoon for a head coach. Much to the chagrin of my auburn brethren, the O-Line sucks. Blame it on the Clem defense if you want but those clowns couldn't block the sisters of the poor. This is going to really hurt getting into SEC play.

Basically, you guys are in trouble....

Most of those sacks came from holding on to the ball for 4-5 seconds. The pass protection was not that bad. Stidham simply stares down one reciever and then takes a sack instead of dumping the ball or throwing it to his check downs.

Eleven sacks in one game prove otherwise. The offensive line didn't play well against Georgia Southern, either. They're disjointed, unconfident and along with Stidham's penchant for scrambling-running, it won't get better except for time/experience or changes.

Stidham should change his first name to be Brodie.

If that's an indication as to where Auburn is at as a program right now, I'm happy because we (Bama) sucked bad back then.

I'd say it's very comparable right now.

Stidham had 79 yards and was sacked 11 times for -72yards. Lol. Wow

I never understood the fit. He would probably be great in an air raid passing offense, I don't see him running the ball effectively in gus' scheme

seems like a nice enough guy
