Auburn has faced tougher competition than us
This Auburn team has faced tougher competition than us? Not quite...

I do agree with the fact that this will be a low scoring defensive battle.

Bama's getting better...but still has a looooooooong way to go before being even remotely legitimate.

I didn't say it was the ONLY reason, but until some coach manages to establish a dominant recruiting position in the state like Vaught did, nothing will change.


It was a different time when Vaught was around. No scholarship limits, segregation, etc... Ole Miss' heyday ended when Archie Manning left. In the time since, schools in other states w/ 2 major programs have moved forward (ie. Florida, Alabama). When college football in the south became integrated Ole Miss remained stuck in neutral and has never caught up. Just an opinion.

It is so funny how Saban never cheated at LSU but then suddenly because he is at Bama he is a cheater. What a crock.

Alabama has owned Auburn in recuriting the last couple of years and this coming year is no different.


And it's funny that Alabama has lost to the AU the last five years, but I guess it's recruiting that really matters.

So AU Dave, tell me how he cheated when he was at LSU?
Ummm...you don't remember a little grade scandal that made the news but was quickly swept under the rug?

Saban doesn't blantantly cheat. He is very good at finding loop holes and using them to his advantage.
