Because Richt kicks kids off the team for getting arrested, smoking dope and breaking rules. 7 DB's have been dismissed since the dream team recruiting class. Your Heisman Candidate QB stole from other teammates. The DB's we had on he field Saturday are young or lack talent. Our DL is thin for the same reason.

And Auburn thanks you for kicking those players off the team.

They just signed the DT we needed on Saturday as well. He'll be there to help them next year.

Who is that?

Heh. If Petrino won them a NC, all would be forgiven. They'd even spring for the huge carpet cleaning bills in the head coach's office.

Darn right. UGA is now our farm team.

John Taylor was kicked off the team for domestic violence charges. Auburn has him lined up for next year.

I'm shocked. Heh, no I'm not. lol.

I just checked our list of commitments. He isn't on there. But this class is dying for DL's, so if he's really good we'll be glad to call him up.

We did get one of the UGA defensive backs who participated in the "Miracle at Jordan Hare" play. Supposedly when he arrived on campus, another AU DB said, "we don't tip balls here."

Go vote. You can post later.

He's being recruited but hasn't signed yet. He loves Coach Garner and Coach Grantham, so they and Louisville are in the mix.

That's hilarious. What will be more hilarious is when we ruin your season in two weeks. I don't care if we go 8-4 and lose to UK and Tech. We are kicking your asses.

Do you have any logic to support your prediction? We just beat a top five team on the road. You just got blown out by a bad Florida team on a neutral field. We have one loss to the #1 team in the country. You have two losses to two unranked teams. Auburn is a WAY better team than the one that just pimp slapped you (e.g. we can pass).

That doesn't appear to be a situation to warrant your prediction about kicking Auburn's ass.

Or do you just "have a feeling"?

I've got Auburn winning out. I think their run game will be too stout for anyone left on their schedule, and their D will do just enough to let the O win the game.

I think we'll lose to Bama. Our defense is extremely vulnerable to any team with an above average passing game. Kiffin has given Bama a much better than average passing game to complement their always formidable running game.

I'm a little more hopeful about Georgia. We match up better with them. They'll have a great running game with Gurley and Chubb. But Mason does not give them a scary passing game to take advantage of our huge weakness. And if UF could run all over them, we can even more.

I hope you're right about the Iron Bowl.

Auburn lucked into two straight home games when A&M and Mizzou joined the conference. Auburn won a game last year it had no business winning. Auburn deserves its comeuppance. Georgia and Alabama are going to supply it in a big way. No facts, no analysis, no anything except it is going to happen. I knew in my bones UF was going to blow up our season, and I am even more confident that Georgia is going to kick Auburn's ass.

Well I guess we'll see how your karma theory and gut feelings (steeped in enraged jealousy) play out.

I can assure you I will never be jealous of a cow pasture. I am angry, very angry about how last year's game played out. Aaron Murray put on a performance for the ages and two dipshits who no longer wear the red-n-black poured gasoline on it and lit it on fire. There is also long precedent of Georgia kicking Auburn's ass when they are highly ranked and on the cusp of greatness. Accept what I say and know it to be true.

It sounds like UGA fans finally found different Auburn victory to whine about. Many were still crying about Nick Fairley's rude treatment of Aaron Murray in 2010. For the long overdue change in Auburn victories to cry about, we can all be grateful.

You'll be REALLY pissed when yet another different SEC team - Miss. State wins a NC and you're still stuck in the Music City Bowl.

No one I know ever discusses the 2010 game. That game, in and of itself, was no reason to whine. Georgia was a 6-6 team that year. Now, all the Georgia fans I know share the opinion that it was blatantly bad of the refs not to make that call and a show of poor sportsmanship by Fairley to be sure, but everyone knows Auburn cares naught for sportsmanship and that bad calls are the modus operandi of Penn Wagers and his crew. And make no mistake, each and every person in America who pays any attention whatsoever to college football knew AU would play Cam after he was accused of getting sold by his father to play for Auburn because (a) you did it, and (b) that is just what you guys do over there.

We are, however, extremely pissed about the 4th and 15 play that got punched out and then recovered in the endzone back in 2005. How that all unfolded was complete bullshit. It was just football, but it was something to be pissed about regardless. Last year took that game out of our collective memories and eternally replaced it. The only reason last year's miracle at Jordan Hare was not the most astonishingly lucky play of the year was because Auburn had the Kick Six the following weekend in a much bigger game. But to us, it was something to hold onto and simmer about for 365 days.
