🏈 Alabama vs Auburn, 2025: 6:30pm - ABC TV

Might be the Network is looking for a great audience? There could be an awfully large group of Bama haters that would love to see Bama beaten by *u. Makes me slightly ill just thinking about it.

ROLL TIDE!
 
At this point we are not "man" enough to beat Lee County Tech. They will blitz our brains out, got nothing to lose. Daniels is turning in to a pretty good QB. Why Freeze didn't use him is beyond me. We haven't made any kind of adjustments for the physical play in the SEC. Just my .02 worth. Haven't seen anything to prove it will be different against another good defense...prove me wrong.
 
I gotta say, I give the edge to Auburn. Not because of it being a night game, though. They want to play spoiler and cause some chaos. They want to knock BAMA out of the playoffs (which they'll do with a win). Plus, they want to get bowl eligible (which they'll do with a win). PLUS, they want to be able to say they did it with an interim coach. It's all just too much going in their direction. And the way BAMA's been playing lately, I just don't see them getting a win down there this year.
 
Record wise, it would be the biggest upset in IB history. A team with a losing record beating a top 10 team. IF we slip back in the top 10 heading into the game. But even if we aren't top 10, that'd be a team with a losing record beating a 9 win team which I don't believe has ever happened in this series. If ever there was a time for Ty to just go OFF....that night would be it
 
Those of you that have piss running down your leg over this being a night game, look around and see who a couple of your bedfellows are in this thread.

I’m guilty myself of talking about the mystic and weirdness of the Jordan-Hare, I admit it. But the fact of the matter is, Bama goes into those games tight as a drum, while auburn goes into them with an excited. nothing to lose attitude, packed by a crowd that is going to energize them for every minute it stays a close game.

And whatever make believe curse was there seems to be dormant, if not completely dead. You guys seen their program lately? They're about to be on their 3rd coach since the Biden admin was elected president. Bama flipped the “voodoo” on them the last 2 trips down there. It might be a fun thing for the fans to banter about, or blame loses on, but it’s not a real thing.

And maybe, just maybe, if our own fans would dismiss the nonsense on the surface like it deserves to be at this point, the mystic would evaporate. Fans, students, and reporters will talk to players about it like they are headed into some unwinnable, mind bending, dark world, football ambush. Maybe it wouldn’t creep into their heads. Maybe instead of getting off the bus thinking “what if’s” they get off the bus looking to kick ass and empty the stadium in the 3rd quarter.

Yes, the atmosphere will be fully charged. Yes, it’ll be hostile and loud. Yes, it being at night adds to all of it and will take it from an 10 to an 11. It’s be best rivalry game in college football, it’s supposed to be this way, otherwise it's just a rivalry game.. But the game won’t be decided by some orange and blue shanker waving football gods from beneath the playing surface. It’ll be decided by how well prepared the Alabama team is is. And how well they execute for at least 60 minutes on the clock when the ball goes into the air.

But I implore you, stop with the defeatist attitude. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Try applying it to any other situation in your life and see what your results are. In the end, Bama may win. They should. They may also lose. If so, it’ll suck. It’ll also mean for the 2nd year in a row, they didn’t earn nor deserve a playoff spot. But I have a bit more faith in this team and staff. It would be cool if others did as well instead of cowering in the corners over a monster in the room that doesn’t exist. And stand behind the monster in the room that does.

Rant over. Roll Tide.

Little Bro.

The team must have hated Freeze. They are playing a helluva lot harder for Durkin. If Freeze had been shit canned after the Missouri loss, they definitely beat Kentucky and probably Vandy

Remember the 2021 Harsin game? That was brutal! Thankfully we pulled it out in what, 4 over times.
 
I keep thinking about the "Honk if you sacked Brodie" bumper stickers. Auburn has a stout DL and we are one-dimensional. Could be a long night. But you've got to play'em as they come. Bring it on!!!
