Bama ends the season 12-0, Auburn leaves the field embarrassed for the 2nd year in a row.
Seriously, 24 - 3 Bama.
Seriously, 24 - 3 Bama.
35-7 Bama
31-17 Bama
This game is hard to predict but I'll go ahead and say 27-13 Alabama.
I am an Auburn fan and I do think they are gonna get hammered this Friday. That is life though, Auburn will not do anything until they get rid of the idiots that hire the head coaches.
I don't think their defense isn't deep enough to pull off a upset.
31 - 7 Bama
Have a little faith YOM. I think Auburn, playing at home will give Bama a fit for 3 qtrs. Auburn has the best running game Bama has faced so far and the no huddle, quick snap offense is tough to defend. It keeps the D on its heels. I do think Bama has more depth on D and that will be the back breaker for the Tigers. I think it will be a lot closer with Bama on top 31-17.quote:Originally posted by Young Old Man:

I just can't do it. I can't pick against my Tigers.
Auburn 23 Bama 22. Yeah I know no way it happens. Be back next week for my crow.

Young old man... You are no Auburn fan. No TRUE Auburn fan would make such absurd remarks. Next year when Auburn is ripping through the competition, you can just stay off the bandwagon. You just weigh us down.
As for the game..... I would never pick against Auburn, but reasonable thinking says Alabama should win. They are deeper and a more complete team (offense, defense, special teams). If Auburn plays well and avoids penalties(YEAH RIGHT!!! lol) then it will be the best offense Bama has seen all year. Auburn's defense can be good in spurts. Soooo, best case for Auburn, stack the box with 9, ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK. Slow the run, get after McElroy. McElroy is wildly inconsistent when good pressure is put on him. If Auburn can get him to turn the ball over early and get a lead, confidence would swell. Auburn has to make sure Bama's players know early that this is gonna be a dog fight. Auburn knows what Bama is, physical all the time. Auburn has to prove that they are willing to match that. South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Tennessee(and LSU somewhat) laid out a blue print defensively of how to slow the Tide offense. Tenn played very well offensively.
Bama's more beatable than folks think. Auburn coming off a bye week, playing at home(Saban has never won in Jordan Hare), and playing with nothing to lose while Bama has a ton to lose.... pressure on Bama. Auburn pulls the upset 20-19.
WAR EAGLE!!!
PS... whereas I really have no idea of the score, I do predict this....
Penalties---- pnlty yds
AUB 12 96
BAMA 3 19
The refs have been flag happy with Auburn all year while sittin on their flags for their opponents, and sat on flags for Bama while hammering their opponents.... The refs won't be able to resist gettin involved in this one... mark it down.

2 quick follow ups.... No I don't think Auburn will rack up yards. That's why I mentioned turnovers... Auburn will need some short field situations, and I picked 19 for Bama because they settle for a ton of field goals.
And to the penalty point... In Auburn's 4 losses the penalties have gone against them 34 to 18(that includes a ridiculous 10-0 vs Kentucky in Jordan Hare...that's just garbage)
In Bama's closest SEC games the total favors the Tide 5 to 16. That includes the Tenn game where the lopsided totals were 8-1...we all saw how close that game was. Then throw in the insane call vs LSU where they didn't give the guy the obvious interception late in that one. Auburn will not get any help from the refs, thus they have to play perfect.

ok I know there different days but Im making a point
Bama no doubt will beat Auburn

Did you have that same confidence for the 6 years prior to last season?
Predicted replies:
A) What about those 9 years in a row that Alabama beat Auburn?
B) Why are you living in the past?
As with any Iron Bowl, the games leading up to the "showdown" are seldom an indicator of the outcome.
Look for Bama to jump on the Tigers early and often. Alabama's defense will put the brakes on Tate and the Auburn QB will fail under the stress.
Alabama 42
Auburn 3
Alabama 42
Auburn 3

6 years prior to last season Bama was average at best. The last time we were undefeated this time in the season, we stayed undefeated after Iron Bowl (shut out).
I'll be honest. Iron Bowl is different than other SEC games. These are arch rivals, both teams will play like it's for the national championship. Anything can happen on Friday. Bama is heavily favored, but I'm not thinking about the SEC championship until we can get past our arch rivals first.
I loved last year so let's say Bama 42 Auburn 0!!! Would be a great finish to shut them out AGAIN. ROLL TIDE ROLL!

So, what are you implying, Auburn is getting called for penalties they don't commit, or Bama is committing penalties that aren't called?
I've only watched Auburn play a few times this year, but I'd wager that close to half their penalties this year are false starts. Heck, Zimba(sp) is good for a couple a game.
Now that the pre-beatdown excuses are set, I say Bama 43 the Barn 14...and it'll be because Bama has better coaches and players, not due to some vast conspiracy by the SEC to help Bama.
Remember Peter,... its all in fun and the spirit of the game...quote:The refs have been flag happy with Auburn all year while sittin on their flags for their opponents, and sat on flags for Bama while hammering their opponents....

Auburn beat a 10 win and a 9 win Bama teams during that streak. When was the last time Bama beat a 9 or 10 win Auburn team?.................... 1994.
Yep, 3 of the last 4 Bama Iron Bowl wins have been against Auburn teams with losing records.
1998/3-8
1999/5-6
2001/8-4
2008/5-7
Looks more to me like Bama can only beat average to bad Auburn teams. So the arguement that "Bama's been down" is ridiculous. I could say the same of the Bear's streak of 9 over Auburn in the 70's.

That's exactly what I'm sayin. I don't think it's all coincidence that in Bama's close games the calls magically ALL go their way.
My point never stated that penalties would be THE reason Bama beats Auburn. Whether Auburn wins by 1 or Bama wins by 60.... the flag margin will be lopsided in Bama's favor. If I'm wrong I'll admit it... but if I'm right I expect profit stars on here next week. lol

It's not Bama's fault if Auburn sucks during a particular season.
Iron Bowl simply comes down to which team is better. If Auburn brings in a losing record that year and Bama beats them, so what? It simply proves that for that particular year Bama had the best team.
As for the years you posted, yes Bama had better records. Maybe Auburn should work on recruiting, seems like the best players want to play for the Tide. Maybe it's because we have a shot at the National Title?

Your prediction of one of the most penalized teams in the SEC (Auburn) having more penalties than one of the least penalized teams in the league (Bama) is astounding. I predict the sun will rise in the east...if I'm wrong I'll admit it. That's about par for the course in this day of the "it's not my fault" mentality. The fact that Auburn is more penalized than Bama could not possibly be because of the players, so it must be magical flags or lack there of from cheating refs.
I see Alabama winning decisively by three touchdowns. They should have no trouble, even if Bama is looking ahead.
I'm an Auburn grad; and I don't see this regular season game as a bowl. That's the mediocre hype that our sports writers and Birmingham boosters are famous for.
I wish that the game was played on Saturday.

HAHAHAHAHA... You just contradicted yourself... You mentioned that during the 6 game Auburn winning streak that Alabama was "average at best"... That's not Auburn's fault anymore than it's not Bama's fault when Auburn comes in down a bit. You made my point for me!! lol
You stated... it comes down to whose better... THAT'S THE POINT!! I'm not making excuses for Auburn losing to Bama. But that's what you were doing for bama saying that they were "just average" during Auburn's streak. Well, Auburn was above average, to very good, to great during that time. It's cyclical. Bama's up now, Auburn will reel'em back in in the next few years.

They weren't undefeated going into the Iron Bowl like they are this year and last year.
A two or three loss season may be something to sing about for Auburn fans, but Tide fans are used to better. After all, we've got 12 going on 13 national titles compared to, um, I forget how many Auburn has. None maybe?
Closer game than I expected, but the end result was awesome.
Roll Tide Roll!!!
Roll Tide Roll!!!
I can't believe grown people fight over this. I was born and raised in this state. I love the rivalry, but some people take it so seriously.
What's the fun of a rivalry if you can't enjoy a little friendly smack talk? None of it is personal, but bragging rights just makes it more interesting.
WAR EAGLE!!
I'm never a fan of moral victories, but Auburn came out and did just what I stated earlier they'd need to do to win. And when it was 21-20 in the 4th(my pick was 20-19) it looked like my Tigers may pull it off. But alas....twas not to be. Auburn absolutely "out physicaled" Bama on Friday. Constantly hitting them in the mouth like they haven't been hit all year. That "dink and dunk" game winning drive was not Alabama football, but to their credit, they were able to finish the game strong against a worn out Auburn D. Chizik speaks of "hidden yardage" often, and that was a big part of Auburn's loss. Auburn's constant struggle in the punt return game continued in this one while Bama a couple of big returns. Also, Bama had the ball past their 40 yd line to start drives almost all day thanks to the kick off team.
The penalties went somewhat as I expected. The refs did not call a penalty on Bama unless it was ABSOLUTELY A MUST CALL. The stupid unsportsmanlike by Woodall had to be called, and the pass interference on Anders had to be called. 2 false starts and that was Bama's 4. However, go back and watch the tape.... Bama's o-line mugged Auburn's d-line all day long. Grabbing them in the numbers, and constantly holding on to Coleman and Carter's sholder pads play in and play out. If Auburn can get JUST ONE CALL on that, then Bama's o-line would at least have to think about it and try to block them straight up. And we all know they can't.
All in all, Auburn had a great gameplan, and executed it very well. Just came up short to a deeper, more complete team. But I think all would agree that the grumblings aobut demise of the Auburn fooball program were greatly overstated, and that "gap" between Alabama and Auburn is not nearly as wide as Bama fans hoped it was.....based on the predicitions I saw anyway. ;-)
Great game, very tough loss.

So in other words, Auburn played awesome, but still lost.
Sounds like a moral victory to me, but whatever floats your boat.
Auburn surprised people by jumping up 14 nothing in the 1st. If they were a deeper, stronger team, that lead wouldn't have vanished at the half.
Sorry, Auburn didn't embarrass themselves like they did last year. They played well and it was a fun game to watch. They're just a mediocre team this year that got in the path of a national champion.
Somebody is counting chickens before they are hatched. Bama has two more games to play before they can be declared national champs. They had better play a lot better than they did against Auburn. Good luck!

And your...."national champion" needed a game winning td w less than 2 minutes to beat that "mediocre" team...right??? hmmmm.... okie dokie... if you don't think Charlie Strong is breakin down Auburn's d strategy right now then you're crazy. And Florida has the horses 2 deep to put that pressure on Bama all day. You may wanna temper your arrogance just a bit...at least til after Sat if Bama's able to pull it off.
They didn't just need a game winning TD in the 4th, they drove down field and got it.
That "dominating" Tiger defense couldn't get the Tide's offense off the field when it mattered most.
Florida will be a tough match, but Bama will be ready for them. It's going to be a close game, but if the Tide can take down the Gators, the NC shouldn't be a problem.

That Tiger defense that PHYSICALLY DOMINATED the tide's super physical running game was gassed at the end of the game and didnt adjust to Bama turning into a finesse, dink and dunk offense. McElroy was 7-8 on that drive without throwing a pass further than 7 yards down the field. My point still remains... Florida has the horses to run 4 quarters. Oh yeah, what was your prediction for the Iron Bowl??? HAHAHAHA
Talking "nation champs" right now just sets you up for more crow eating later. lol

Well I picked Bama in a blowout. I guess I was one outta two. Didn't you predict Auburn in a squeaker? That would make you 0 for 2...how do ya like your crow ? hahahaha
Bama has a better shot at a NC than Auburn. I guess Auburn fans will be Gator fans this week. Poor UT fans, they won't know who to root for. hahahaha
Auburn fans are all excited, they went 7-5 this year, lost to AL, LSU, GA, Arky, and for the first time in forever...Kentucky. I hear things are looking up down on the plains, though I suspect if Tubby had the same record, with losses to the same teams, fans would be calling for his head. I guess it's all about your perspective. They are what they are...a middle of the pack SEC team that wins 7-8 games every year and goes to a bowl game.
