Auburn Revived

What in the world was Muschamp doing? His actions were/are an embarrassment to Auburn. He should be suspended, fired and otherwise disassociated from Auburn University. The penalty was too lenient, he should have been expelled from the game. Now, he should be expelled from his employment with AU.

What are you talking about? He did the same thing Saban does every game. I'm glad we have someone with some emotion. Defense has come a long way.

The man has been through hell. I agree with some things. I'm will to cut the man some slack. Auburn has way too much talent to be a 6-6 team. What he did was wrong. No doubt, but should not lose his job.

We're 6-6 because our "dark horse Heisman candidate" isn't even a D1 QB. If Sean White were able to play yesterday we very easily could've won.

Hopefully, Will sticks around, but there are a lot of jobs open this year.

(OCTOBER 22nd, 2016) 

 

A blowout win over a solid Arkansas team has boosted Auburn's hopes (and kept those hopes alive) for an upper-tier bowl game invitation. If they run the table and knock off Alabama in the season finale (as they did in 2013), they would even still be alive for a playoff bid, but that's a loooooong way off. Right now, they will have their hands full with a road game and a hostile crowd in Oxford against Mississippi this week. They also have a potentially tough road game against Georgia on November 12th, as well.

One game at a time ........ Mississippi is probably one of the best 3-4 teams in the history of college football. They took Alabama right down to the wire (48-43), and they stomped a solid Georgia team (45-14) earlier this season.

The loss to a solid Georgia team ended Auburn's hopes for a playoff berth and/or a trip to the SEC Championship game.

The game against Alabama subsequently became their Super Bowl. They gave their best effort, and a lost a respectable and fairly competitive game.

Now, they will likely be invited to a middle-tier bowl game.

Actually, unless Florida beats Alabama, we will likely go to the Sugar Bowl. As we would likely be the highest rated SEC team not going to the playoffs. It's been a down year for the SEC, outside of Bama.

At 8-4 overall, Auburn was over-matched against 10-2 Oklahoma.

I think that they ought to change the rule about certain automatic qualifiers for bowl games ...... but then again, it's Division I-A football, and they refuse to do what they should have done more than 40 years ago, which is have a 16-team playoff like all of the other college divisions have so that they could have a real champion from a true playoff every year.

Last year my beloved Nebraska Cornhuskers were invited to a bowl game with a losing record, and it was embarrassing, even though they won the game. They (Division I-A football) have teams that are in the Top 10 in the country that don't get a shot at the national championship, and they have teams with losing records getting invited to bowl games because there are so many of them. It's very annoying, even though I continue to watch and follow Nebraska and the upper-tier bowl games.

The Tigers lost a tough game to defending national champion Clemson early on, but with Mississippi State, LSU, Georgia, Texas A&M, and Alabama on their schedule, there is still plenty of football for the to look forward to playing this season.

    • Oh, I don't know. I thought when accusing someone of wild malpractice over possibly, maybe, slightly speeding up highlights that kind of opened the door to a little goofy exaggeration.
    • I was going to post something about this after reading about that on MLBTR this morning. That gives me a lot of hope for Bradish if this kid can come back from a UCL sprain and throw 103. Obviously, reliever vs. starter so who knows. But uplifting to read nonetheless. 
    • Hollocher hit almost exclusively 2nd in the order. The Cubs' 3rd hitters (and it was the Cubs, not the Indians as I previously stated) were mostly Marty Krug, Zeb Terry, and John Kelleher. Krug was awful for a 1922 3rd-place hitter, with an 83 OPS+ in his only season as a MLB regular, but he only struck out 43 times in 524 PAs. Terry was worse, OPS+ing 74, but with just 16 Ks in 571 PAs. And Kelleher was the worst of the bunch, OPS+ing 60, while striking out 14 times in 222 PAs. Cubs manager Reindeer Bill Killefer stuck hard and fast to the old rule of thumb that the catcher should bat 8th, even if it's Bob O'Farrell and he hit .324 with an .880 OPS. Ray Grimes had a 1.014 OPS and batted cleanup. But Hack Miller and his .899 OPS batted mostly 6th. Statz wasn't a terrible leadoff hitter, was one of only a couple players who had a SB% higher than 50%, but was 6th among their regulars in OBP. That's as bad a bunch of #3 hitters as I've seen in a while, yet the Cubs finished 80-74-2. Just goes to show you batting order doesn't really matter. Anyway, back to the main point... yes, I'm sure some of Hollocher's CS were busted hit-and-runs. But nobody that regularly batted behind him struck out in even 7% of PAs so they shoulda been putting the ball in play the vast majority of the time.    
    • Bobby needs to git gud. 
    • How many people actually said they were one of the greatest teams ever?   They did hit the snot out of the ball the first 9 games of the year, mostly in a 6 game series in a very hitter-friendly ball park against a bad pitching staff.  That said, they’re still second in the league in runs per game.  Their pitching has been problematic, yielding 6.50 runs per game.  
    • Gunnar’s base running is in the 99th percentile.  That mess is in the 98th percentile.
    • Yeah, the highlighted section here is really why I agree that the O's will look to minimize losing players to waivers just yet. Things could blow up on them pretty quick. There's a ton of risk with these moves, but they have to find out. The best way to do that is to utilize the options for Akin and Tate, IMO. We'll see!
