In the meantime, Auburn is flying high, and beaming with pride over their huge road win today ....... and will be looking for a little payback against both Georgia and Alabama, whom both defeated Auburn last year by a combined score of 87-0.

Man, I'm so excited for this game. It feels so much like 1989. I can't believe it's still 3 more days away.

We're gonna have to hit some deep passes. Otherwise, Bama can just put 8 or 9 in the box and try to stuff our run game. Also, we have to put Bama in 3rd and passing situations. If we do that, our D-Line is good enough to pin their ears back and make it tough on AJ, because he's not mobile enough to hurt us (knock on wood).

It's definitely shaping up to be a great one.

That's the key. Stopping the Auburn running attack that is 6th in the nation. If AU can run on Bama it's over. Clock and ball control is the way AU wins this game. If the Bama D line brings there A game it's a Bama win.

The 1993 Iron Bowl was much like the 1993 Auburn team ...... forgotten.

Those 1993 Auburn Tigers went 11-0, and were the only undefeated team in the nation. But like last year's Ohio State Buckeyes (12-0, and also the only undefeated team in the nation that year), that Auburn team was on probation, and were subsequently ineligible for the S.E.C. conference championship, any bowl games, and were excluded from one of the two major polls (the coaches poll.)

Last year, I started a thread in regard to that 1993 Auburn team in relation to the previously-mentioned 2012 Ohio State team:

Now, ESPN's Alex Scarborough reminisces about that forgotten 1993 Iron Bowl ...... and that forgotten 1993 Auburn team.

    • I was listening to a Fox Sports Radio broadcast (sorry, can't remember who it was). They put the teams into tiers. The O's were in the top tier along with the Yankees, Dodgers and Phillies. I don't know how long it's been that during the season, someone would have called us top tier. And to think, this is happening with two of our starters out for the year and Bradish and Kremer have spent time on the IL. We are doing this with Hays, Mullins, Urias and Santander starting the season on an extreme slump. We have done this with Mateo starting almost every day (which most people thought would be a horrible thing). We have done this with a bullpen that has been very inconsistent. Imagine if we get some of this stuff fixed and some people back to just playing to their career averages. 
    • I'm not sure what we are doing with Vieira. I figured the trade was about the prospect and they had to take him and his salary to make it happen. I expected him to be DFA right away and they would try to send him to the minors to work on him. 
    • What would differentiate them? 
    • Btw, in the 4 game series against the Jays last year (July 31-Aug. 3rd), it is insane that Mountcastle hit for an .846(!) avg with an OPS of 1.932!  
    • Vieira doesn’t have options.  
    • May 2024 This month, two non-prospects were obvious choices for MiL Plsyer and Pitcher of the Month: Player of the Month 28-year old Daniel Johnson led the org in SLG, OPS, HR (tie) and RBI.  He hit .350/.439/.725 with 6 HR and 23 RBI pm In the prospect division, I’m going with 19-year old Leandro Arias, .333/.400/.667 with 3 HR and 13 RBI in 16 games.   Honorable mentions to Ellis Cuevas at .992 OPS, Heston Kjerstad .964 with 14 RBI in 16 games after returning to the minors, and Stiven Acevedo at .953.   Pitcher of the Month In between stinking up the major leagues, 27-year old Jonathan Heasley pitched 16 scoreless innings with an 0.813 WHIP. In the prospect division, 21-year old Edgar Portes pitched to an 0.42 ERA in 20.2 innings, with an 0.919 WHIP and 11.8 K/9.   Honorable mentions: Eccel Correa 0.96 ERA in 18.2 IP, and Trey Gibson with a 1.76 ERA, 1.044 WHIP, and 15.3 K/9 in 15.1 IP.
