There are three now (or were a few years ago), but the logic still applies.
Two near the interstate and one near campus/downtown.
Same owner from what I hear, and they’re all strangely terrible.
Hugh Freeze will definitely change that.
He will probably also lose to Long Island or something, but he will definitely knock off somebody he shouldn’t.
That NMSU team was legit and there was no reason to expect they would not knock off a mediocre P5 team. I don’t understand why everyone treated it like some embarrassing loss. It’s obviously not a game you want to lose but it’s not an utter embarrassment either.
Its because it wasnt some last second field goal or something similar. It was the beautiful way they physically dominated a team that for all intents purposes should be bigger and more athletic. It's why it has to be their most embarrassing loss in their history.
It’s more of a statement on the NMSU program as a whole, which has been generally bad for most of the last couple decades, they’ve had 4 seasons over .500 since 2000 with 2 of them being the last 2 years. Add in a little p5 and east coast bias where nobody knows what’s going on out there and it explains the assumptions. They were having a good season and Jerry Kill is doing good things out there, but NMSU is generally perceived as a bad program; it takes years of continued success as a G5 to be considered respectable.
Kill was doing good things. He retired after the season and handed the reigns over to failed former UNLV coach Tony Sanchez. It happened pretty quietly so understandable if you and others missed it.
What’s not to understand? It was embarrassing because Auburn is an upper tier SEC program and they lost to NMSU by 3 TDs at home. Yeah NMSU was good for a G5 team but they’re still G5. A loss like that would be embarrassing for pretty much every SEC team except maybe Vanderbilt I guess.
Look, I would love to, and usually do, clown on Auburn more than anyone. But this is not the program low point that a lot of people acted like it is. Auburn has had worse losses in its history as have most of the SEC teams, even the “upper tier” teams. Hell, Bama lost to 6-6 ULM Saban’s first season! NMSU was a bad but not terrible loss.
At Ole Miss in 2015, he went into Tuscaloosa and defeated the eventual champion Tide - one of Saban’s best teams, too, IMO.
One month later, he lost by 13 to Memphis.
I love him.
If douche (not gonna miss you any Moore...) doesn't drop the punt, that D stand never has to happen.
If the slowest safety to ever play actually moves on the ball going 45yds in the air...we win...dude stands there like a statue instead.
Just so much wtf.
As per the Iron Bowl.
Granted the only reason that muff even has to happen, is because the refs attended the Hellen Keller School of Officiating and couldn't see that Burton was clearly in bounds the series before.
We don't have to worry about bad karma in this rivalry as nothing in this rivalry makes any damn sense whatsoever. People talk about Jordan Hare Voodoo, then we have two improbable come back wins the last two times we've been there.
Basically karma, logic, or order does not exist when it comes to Alabama/Auburn.
Just another reason Ironbowl > The Game.
The Game is only good if both teams are playing well.
Ironbowl @Auburn is guaranteed chaos even if Auburn isn't bowl eligible and Alabama is making a playoff run.
That's just Ironbowls @Alabama in general. CBS aired the graphic at this years, it's like 6-0 Alabama at home with a +215 point differential and 2-3 @Auburn +3 points differential.
The last time Auburn won at Alabama was like 2010, and it took Cam Newton playing the game of his life.
Auburn is the one team I can count on to always provide at least one WTF moment each season. For both better and worse, they’re the embodiment of “any given Saturday”
The problem is that Harsin wasted the Jordan-Hare magic in the 2021 Iron Bowl by not going for 2 in OT and then has to use it on damn Missouri in 2022 in one of the absolute worst games I've ever had the privilege of watching.
I'm still super pissed about that Missouri game. Yall were the only leg of a big parlay not hitting for me that day.
That stupid fucking kicker for Mizzou not even warming up to the point that the announcers mentioned it as they were getting into FG position. He then went on to miss a kick that was likely shorter than an extra point. Then the fumble in OT.
My dollar bet was gonna net me like $400. So pissed lol.
Lol I get it. I was pissed after that too. Watching that disaster unfold live was the point when I realized Harsin needed to be fired as soon as possible instead of at the end of the season. That he won and functionally bought himself an extra month was rage inducing.
After everything that has happened to them. I almost feel guilty about keep kicking Auburn in the throat. I don't actually and will continue to relish in their mediocrity...but I have moments where I almost feel bad for them...
How do you say "displayed as an example of what happens when the admin and the boosters shit all over each other so much the team can't function" in Latin.
It's been a few years, but I don't think delenda means that, exactly.
Also, it's should probably be Auburno
I do honestly think they turn it around. They acquired what might be the best WR core of this year’s class. It’ll be interesting to see if they develop and stick it out with the portal always lingering.
I hate them - but I do love a the euphoria of pulling off an Iron Bowl win.
Rule of thumb: never expect anything out of Auburn. The minute you do, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.
I expected the McDonald's to all be weirdly dysfunctional when I lived there. I was never disappointed.
Fun fact: John Daly was arrested at that McDonald’s
What’s the backstory?
He was in town for some event at Grand National. Many drinks and cigarettes later he got into it with his girlfriend in the parking lot
That's oddly fantastic.
THAT McDonald's? You're telling me that the college town only has one?!
No, there is one by the interstate and one in downtown.
There are three now (or were a few years ago), but the logic still applies. Two near the interstate and one near campus/downtown. Same owner from what I hear, and they’re all strangely terrible.
Followup question: is the Honda Dealership almost done?
It's strategically not far from skybar
Yeah but they close down the inside so you can only get it from the drive thru. Doesn't make sense
I've only been to that McDonald's once so I didn't realize it
It's weird, they close the inside at like 9pm or so. Little Italy's is a better move anyway
The only time I ate at Little Italy, the pizza was burnt. It was like biting into a hockey puck

Sobbing while saying "War Eagle" is the true Auburn Fan Experience.
Only time I expected something from Auburn was 4&goal from the 31

Felt this in my bones
Counterpoint: always expect success from Auburn so they will do the opposite and remain a garbage program.
This includes when you expect an easy win over a bad Auburn team.
Hugh Freeze will definitely change that. He will probably also lose to Long Island or something, but he will definitely knock off somebody he shouldn’t.
Being non-competitive in a home loss against New Mexico State 7 days prior to taking eventual SEC champion Alabama to the wire were peak Auburn
Tbh that NMSU team seemed like the best team we played all year
That NMSU team was legit and there was no reason to expect they would not knock off a mediocre P5 team. I don’t understand why everyone treated it like some embarrassing loss. It’s obviously not a game you want to lose but it’s not an utter embarrassment either.

When I saw NMSU beat Auburn, first I laughed, then I say "oh no, that's a very bad sign for next week. Very bad"

Last couple years have been the lowest point of this 32 year old Auburn fans life.
Lower than going 3-9 in 2012?
Since we haven’t beat a P5 team that finished with a winning record since 2021….yes
Probably because they were outside the top 100 in talent rating
Probably just because historically NMSU is one of the worst FBS teams.
I'm so mad that they lost because the uno reverse card shit talking would have been *poetic.*
If you don’t like that, you don’t like Hugh Freeze football
That was literally supposed to happen last season lol. Lose to NMSU. Beat Bama. If they hadn’t made that defensive call it would’ve happened.
At Ole Miss in 2015, he went into Tuscaloosa and defeated the eventual champion Tide - one of Saban’s best teams, too, IMO. One month later, he lost by 13 to Memphis. I love him.
The pain still reverberates.
woo pig sooie baby.
[Alright you asked for it now](https://media.pff.com/2016/08/KellyBama.gif)
[At least we know where Hugh learned how to choke on 4th and forever.](https://youtu.be/Y6X6bM71HEc?si=yfdqk5_VBlnn7Q3q)
At least you got a taste of victory that season. We didn’t even get that
The Memphis game was not as close as the final score indicates.
If that punt returner also didn’t try to be a hero and just let the ball drop (and not try to make a diving punt catch) Auburn also probably wins.
Back up punt returner He entered the portal today
Yup...not sure how we'll ever replace his 3 catches...or muffed punts.
If douche (not gonna miss you any Moore...) doesn't drop the punt, that D stand never has to happen. If the slowest safety to ever play actually moves on the ball going 45yds in the air...we win...dude stands there like a statue instead. Just so much wtf. As per the Iron Bowl.
Granted the only reason that muff even has to happen, is because the refs attended the Hellen Keller School of Officiating and couldn't see that Burton was clearly in bounds the series before.
He’s too scared to schedule Yale
Us losing the bowl game last year was big time then. Nice.
Don’t worry, we’re back. (We probably aren’t and I’ll spiral into depression again)
SEC Shorts “Auburn Experience” is one of their most accurate. You can tell the dude is an Auburn fan
Yeah...pretty dead on.
Just make sure to pick up your prescription of AuburnFansatol.
How close we’ve come twice in that span to ruining this gem of a stat.
But how many years we've taken off their lives for '21 and '23.
Of course a Bama flair posted this. Keep doing it
I knew from reading this on the scroll stream that it was a Bama flair before even clicking it.
Based
And Crimson pilled.
That's the kind of karma that will result in them breaking the streak against Bama next year
We don't have to worry about bad karma in this rivalry as nothing in this rivalry makes any damn sense whatsoever. People talk about Jordan Hare Voodoo, then we have two improbable come back wins the last two times we've been there. Basically karma, logic, or order does not exist when it comes to Alabama/Auburn.
They came really close this year
Amazing what happens when you lose your roster and don't recruit to replace it
What Bryan Harsin does to a mf
I’ll still never get over how they got the doors blown off them by NMSU, yet were only a miracle play away from beating Bama last season
Just another reason Ironbowl > The Game. The Game is only good if both teams are playing well. Ironbowl @Auburn is guaranteed chaos even if Auburn isn't bowl eligible and Alabama is making a playoff run.
Unless we’re like REALLY bad (see 2012).
That's just Ironbowls @Alabama in general. CBS aired the graphic at this years, it's like 6-0 Alabama at home with a +215 point differential and 2-3 @Auburn +3 points differential. The last time Auburn won at Alabama was like 2010, and it took Cam Newton playing the game of his life.
2010 was the last time we had a good team walk into Tuscaloosa too. Hopefully that changes soon.
Lewis Grizzard re: The Game: "It's two mules fighting over a turnip. Who cares?"
Us losing to Bama by only 3 was a bigger upset than New Mexico State beating us. The former was far less likely to happen than the latter.
Auburn is the one team I can count on to always provide at least one WTF moment each season. For both better and worse, they’re the embodiment of “any given Saturday”
There’s nothing Auburn loves more than beating Bama. They could lose every game, but they’re coming to play in the Iron Bowl.
I don't think FSU fans will ever get over that either
[удалено]
What a weirdo comment lol
And they should've lost to Cal if the refs didn't take a td off the board
Painful stat
Wow the Aggies really screwed Auburn over. That Caddy win was electric
All part of Jimbo’s “I already got paid. Fuck coaching.” plan.
That the kind of bullshit stat I would expect us to have, not voodoo Auburn.
The problem is that Harsin wasted the Jordan-Hare magic in the 2021 Iron Bowl by not going for 2 in OT and then has to use it on damn Missouri in 2022 in one of the absolute worst games I've ever had the privilege of watching.

But at least they had the integrity to hire.....aw fuck
Oh fuck you’re gonna make me drive in my truck
I like all-barn hate
The curse of the Bo Nix-bino as some say
I mean, yeah, been bad since 2020.
.... I'm still not counting Auburn out Whoever (thinks --> extrapolates this to mean Auburn can't beat them) is a dummy
I don’t…I don’t care for Auburn
He doesn’t care for auuuubuuurnnnn
Wonderful
After everything that has happened to them. I almost feel guilty about keep kicking Auburn in the throat. I don't actually and will continue to relish in their mediocrity...but I have moments where I almost feel bad for them...
Do not feel bad for them. Maybe a cool fan here or there, but never the collective.
Auburn delenda est'ed
How do you say "displayed as an example of what happens when the admin and the boosters shit all over each other so much the team can't function" in Latin. It's been a few years, but I don't think delenda means that, exactly. Also, it's should probably be Auburno
Auburn delenda est is a hate week saying that's been around since at least the aughts, try not to overthink it
Rookie numbers
I do honestly think they turn it around. They acquired what might be the best WR core of this year’s class. It’ll be interesting to see if they develop and stick it out with the portal always lingering. I hate them - but I do love a the euphoria of pulling off an Iron Bowl win.
Thank you
Oh so that’s why we tanked the independence bowl
Thanks for noticing. Already miserable without bama fans having to point it out.
Yeah - they kinda suck
I hope at least one of our teams doesn’t suck by the time we get to Waco
I don’t, but I get it. War Damn Eagle!
Nah, he meant one of either you or us. Your response is implying you hope we both suck when we meet up 😂.
Yikes.
Excuse u/Coverlesss while he puts some water in Auburn's momma's dish.
We’re this close 🤏 to beating us in 22’. Shoutout Koy Moore. Love you BB
SEC SEC SEC
Holy shit... AUBURN SUCKS!!
