Is this what the 70's felt like?

I agree with those who have said that the expectation of winning is different. We went into uat games with no expectation to win and were completely overjoyed and surprised on those occasions that we did.

It's pretty close. In the 70s we knew we didn't have a chance. At least now we have some talent and hope.

I'm an 80's baby, so I grew up in the glory days of AU football. Some of you old timers could chip in and answer this question, but is this what the 1970's were like as an Auburn fan?
A lot of similarities to Punt Bama Punt, and the Cam Back...

I was in Auburn in the early 70's........................
Just who are you calling "old timers"!

I'm confused? Im referencing the events that took place after punt Bama punt, and the Cam Back.
The results are: '73 35-0 11-1 '74 17-13 11-1 '75 28-0 11-1
'11 42-14 12-1 '12 49-0 13-1 '13 ?
Looks like we were more competitive in the 70's

Which "we" are you referring to? Those sure weren't AU's record in those given years and if you're comparing the score in those early AU/uat games against '11 and '12, I don't call losing just one of those games by only 4 points "competitive". You need to look beyond 1975 to 1981 to really get a feel for what it was like to be an AU fan in Alabama in the '70's.

2012 was the largest point spread in iron bowl history. It could have easily been the largest defeat in iron bowl history. 2011 wasn't much better... We've now gone 2 straight years without scoring an offensive touchdown!
Judging by the Auburn crowd in JHW this year, not many fans had "hope", we deffinately didn't have the "talent".
Honestly, when do you see us being favored to win this game again?
