Phil Army, you're always throwing stuff out there downing Auburn. You throw mud against Auburn just to see what sticks. If you state something against Auburn, you should, for your own validity and integrity, at least make sure that it is true. I respect the University of Alabama. Some of its fans, not so much. But the institution; the coaching staff, etc... "some" of its fans, nope! You can hate Auburn all you want as I don't care but don't lie about Auburn. Auburn ain't goin' away and Auburn will roll in the Bryant-Denny this fall and I truly believe Auburn will roll out a winner. But here's the difference: I call it like it is without disrespecting Bama. And if I though Auburn would lose, then I'd say it. Anyway, here ya go...

The best part of FSU winning is that they figured out how to shut down Auburn's offense. They looked good in the first half, but FSU completely shut them down in the second half. Now that its been figured out, every other team can use that same game plan.Phil said:
"FSU shut down Auburn's offense." ? "
FSU completely shut them down in the 2nd half."Really Phil? Let's look at Auburn's stats against FSU broken down by halves as pulled from the B'ham News.
Auburn Stats. And I just used Auburn's stats as if I'd used FSU's too, it would prove that AU beat FSU in every stat possible but passing (FSU beat AU by 20 yds in passing) which included 3rd down conversions.
Total Yds 1st Half - 232
Total Yds 2nd Half - 217
Difference of 15 yds?!?!?!?
Total Rush Yds 1st Half - 119
Same as above 2nd Half - 113
Difference of 6 yds?!?!?
Total Passing difference was -9 yards
Total TOP 1st Half 16:50
Same as above 2nd Half 16:91 Opps. Thanks Ben2. Correct count is 16.51
An INCREASE of one second.
Now, in points, yes AU scored 10 pts in the 2nd half as compare to 21 in the 1st half but offensive production in rushing, passing and TOP was basically the same between the two halves.
Phil, you also focused on Auburn's recent claim of past National Titles and made very hypocritical remarks. But you probably don't know UA's past. But anyway, by your own 1983 Media Guide, you claimed six nattys. I am not sure when UA started claiming 1925, '26, '30, '34, & '41 but you certainly weren't claiming them in 1983!!!!!
Phil, let's talk about who OWNS UA in its backyard of Bryant-Denny? IN Tuscaloosa?? It's Auburn!! AU has played in T'loosa nine (9) times and walked away victorious SEVEN (7) times. Seven times out of nine Auburn's beaten Bama IN T'loosa.
Let's hurt you feelings again!!! Let's look at how many times UA has played at Jordan-Hare. Well, the Tide has played in Auburn a total of 12 times and Auburn has won eight (8) of them!!!! The Tide has played 12 times in Auburn and only won four times!
So, Auburn owns the Tide in Tuscaloosa AND Auburn. Dynasty over Auburn? Hardly!
Ya know... I didn't disrespect the Tide or T'loosa by spelling names wrong or disparage The University of Alabama in any way nor did I attempt to make UA look bad as you Phil, do that enough as it is.
WDE!
I'll say this: Heck yeah, the Tide has been dominating and they have had some awesome teams. I can't go back further than the 70's but I think they deserve every title they've been awarded since the 70's. I guess even 1961 but before that, claiming Natty's is a PR move AS IS AUBURN'S claiming victories.
I used to think Saban was the best coach in the history of college football and right now, I'd award him of that but I love Coach Gus... so we'll see what he continues to do.
If the Tide wins this year, I will tip my hat to them and to any reasonable and non-delusional fan on here.
