Auburn Football: Your Weekly Auburn Zen

The Tigers just dropped one to Vanderbilt, and the calls for Motorcycle Bobby are growing louder. It’s that time again, where we head to the losing side of town and see what’s going on with the sad sacks hanging out on the Auburn message boards. As ever, all spelling and grammar errors are in the originals.

"Post game thoughts: we suck."

"Dear 2013 Recruiting Class, we are the Auburn Family. We stick together through the good times and the bad, and we will survive this season. But like any real family, we must recognize dysfunction and address it appropriately. We, as fans, have learned about you and grown to appreciate you. We look to the future and get excited about the potential that you bring. But the time has come to make a change. You, as potential AU players and students, deserve the best leadership and coaching, in football and life. It is AU’s job to provide you with that. We know how you feel about these coaches, and trust me, we once felt that way too. But we hope that you feel the same way about Auburn, this university, and the family that surrounds it. Things will change. Coaches will change. But we hope you stick it out, because I promise you that we will. We look forward to cheering you on, whether it’s with this coaching staff or the next. WDE!!!"

"We ran Lowder off too soon. He’s the only one with enough balls to put an end to this."

"Ok I’m sold. Start the coach search."

"Dan Mullen at AU. Would it work? He has been impressive at State. Could we forget the Cam issue and get him to AU. Petrino is not an option. He will never be hired at Auburn."

"I have wanted Petrino in Auburn for 10 years and we are so close, but honestly if we are just going to fire Chizik and hire Chis Petersen or Dana Holgorsen or some other bullshit then we should just keep Chizik, IMO. Get Chizik out yesterday and hire Bobby Petrino, or just keep Chizik."

"ACCORDING TO A FORMER PLAYER, CHIZIK MIGHT BE OUT THE DOOR VIA BOWDEN STYLE!"

"you don’t lose to both MS schools and freaking Vandy and deserve the privilege of coaching at AU."

"CGC is gone by Thursday. It has been decided. JJ will either address the public or he will be joining him."

"Either Jacobs or Gogue needs to stop this cluster fvck that CGC has created. The recruits need to know if the coach fails the players he will be replaced by the administration. Sooner the better for the sake of this recruiting class."

"I don’t give a flying frick about a single recruit we lose or a dime we have to spend, not a single coach not named Brian VanGorder should be able to stay and Jay Jacobs should be allowed back in the complex."

"screw Van Gorder. What has he done except play lose coverage and start Jake Holland for 6 games. We see what Cass did today. I bet Frost would do the same."

"Well we aren’t very good on offense and we aren’t very good on defense, I’d say."

"If they allow Chizik to keep his job, the entire administration from Gogue on down to the trainer should be publicly tarred, feathered and hung from what is left of the Toomer’s Oaks. We lost whatever little dignity we had on the field tonight. I am not expecting us to win another game, period. This team is on a collision course with history … becoming the worst college football team in the history of the SEC."

"beating Bama would most definitely define this season and give us the capacity to be positive about going into the offseason and preparing for next year.  And if we want to define a successful season as one during which we compete for a national title, I’ll remind you that Chizik has won one of those."

"Gene please let me know when your packing and I will come help your azz MOVE !!!!"

"Call me as well and I will take a day off from my job which pays 17.00 per hr compared to his 3.5 per year and pack his shit as well."

"Ted Roof may have not been the problem"

"Lutzy and Young out for season? What? did Lutz shoot himself in the foot on purpose to protect his draft status?"

"When Chizik goes, does the “Family/All In” junk go with him?"

"My new favorite team is Tennessee. Next week, it will be the Grinders. After that, the Corndogs. Auburn will return as my favorite team on Nov. 24. Embrace the hate, it’s all we got left."

"Thid entire staff should be and will be back next year.  All of you who were saying 11-1  10-2 have never played a down of college football.  A totally new offense and a totally new offense spells growing to me.  It will take alittle time for things to get there. Take a look at Will at Florida, he had the athletes to run a spread offense, we to a pro style and in year two, things look pretty good to me."

"Then why change to a pro set anyways. That is playing right into the hands of lil nickey. Anyways we did….they did…so I agree with the above posters….by week freaking 7 we ought to be able to get 2 yards on a 2nd and 2. Then on a 3rd and 2…we run jet weep to OM…lose 2 yards…You can not say that is good. JUST LINE THE FREAK UP AND RUN EVERY DAMN PLAY RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE BEHIND JAY PORSCH. I BET YOU ANYTHING WE WOULD SCORE MORE POINTS DOING THAT ALL GAME LONG THAN WE ARE SCORING NOW."

"Yeah we suck, but Im not even THAT upset about it. This whole season is a smoking crater. All we can do is dig it deeper."

"Auburn Man. I’m tired of hearing that phrase. It has not worked and wont work. Jay Jacobs is an “auburn man” and look what he has done. Gene chizik is an “auburn man” and we are horrible. Yes I know we won a NC but don’t kid yourself cam newton won that, not chizik. Bring somebody in that has no connections with AU that knows how to win football games. We are too hung up on this auburn man and family crap and it has put us in the gutter"

"The moral of this story is that the juggernaut of suck we’ve seen on the field is embarrassing everything about us. How we feel about that does no good or bad for Auburn. That shit we just saw does everything bad for Auburn athletics."

"Guys, we took a pretty decent Vandy team down to the wire on the road. Things are looking up. …we are getting there, now we just have to learn how to close games out. We outscored them in the 4th…we won the 4th quarter today. We will be there soon."
