Real Fans vs. Fair Weather Fans

  • It's simple. Just create two boards. One for everyone who is a real fan and believes in this team and one for the fire this coach and that coach. This way I can find real topics to read. It was an ugly day. I can't say I saw us win any particular part of the game. What I did see was a team "outplay" us on both sides of the ball, with much more experience. They beat us soundly. Now take the game film and learn from it. They played to our every weakness. They out-coached us. They had a TON of luck go their way. Again, take it and learn from it. No one needs to go. Just need to correct the glaring weaknesses.

  • I didn't see how "luck" helped them though. Besides the one favorable spot in Q1 and the no-call on the spearing on their kick off coverage, they handled us.

    how long do you have to be a fan to be a "real fan"?

  • Luck? What is "Luck'?
    Perhaps where preparation intersects with opportunity?

  • And who are you to call anyone an idiot? You're small minded and classless if that's what you're resorting to to try to get your point across. "You don't think how I do and don't berate the job someone else is doing that they obviously know more about so you are an idiot." Sounds like good ,sound three year old logic. Grow up and have a rational, adult conversation.

    That favorable spot was huge in the 1st quarter. Kept their drive alive. I'm not saying the outcome would have been any different but they would have had to punt on their first possession and would have given our defense a big confidence boost. That being said - that was only one down. There were too many others where we just couldn't stop them. I don't know why the 2nd quarter has been our achilles heal all year. Major mystery to me. When things take a turn for the worse, we just don't have the maturity to bow up and turn it back to our favor. I think this is where our youth shows up the most - not in play or talent but in mental toughness. It will come, but damn it's painful to watch - especially when you live in georgia. But as painful as it is for us fans, the players have to live with their performance. They're the ones who have to watch their mistakes over and over again on film. It's a tough lesson to learn - this year has been full of tough lessons - but I firmly believe that these experiences will pay huge dividends in the future. One of the keys to the attitude of last year's team was the tough lessons most of them learned from the last few years of Tubs tenure. We'll beat Samford but everyone better get ready because the bama game could be just as ugly as this one - or we could finally put it together and play mistake free ball and have our best game of the year (one can dream). Bama is beatable but we'll have to have our best game day to do it. And while we may end up 7-5, I can live with that considering the predictions for us at the beginning of the year and how many players we lost from last year's team. Can't say I'm overjoyed with 7-5 but sure is a hell of a lot better than 5-7! And for those that predicted that AU would be the first team to win a National Championship and not make it to a bowl the next year, well let's just say that I won't type the words in my head . . . . War Damn Eagle - It's GREAT to be An Auburn Tiger over anyone ANY day!

  • I attended Auburn. I've been a fan for 48 years. I'm about to pay a whole lot of attention to discussions about "fair weather fans" and "true fans." I'm a fan of Auburn football and always have been. As a fan I'm going to support the team. That does not mean that I'm going to look at a horse turd and call it filet mignon. What I saw on the field yesterday looked a whole like the former and not a bit like the latter. I'll continue to tell it like I see it. This team, for any number of reasons, is not a very good team. We will finish 7 - 5 and go to a bowl. That will be valuable because of the extra practice time. I'm not on the bandwagon for firing any coaches. I'd give any of them one more year. If, on the other hand, next year's team does not show marked improvement I'd reevaluate any and all of them. I'm not saying they need to win the SEC next year. I'm saying I want to see improvement next season.

    It's simple. Real fans and real members of the Auburn Family do not call one another "idiot" or "idoit" in an attempt to win an argument.
    As fans, we can discuss and share ideas and opinions without degrading one another. Those of us who have been on AUC from its beginning understand that. The national title bandwagoners do not. You paint a vivid picture of youself when you make such unecessary comments.

  • I bet I was!!! The defense sucked last year also. Our offense was good enough to overcome the weakness.
