Not to mention Auburn fans buying tickets off of Alabama fans last week.

Still though, they're going to look at this showing as somewhat how their fans travel when the team's good.


Someone know if the "pick a team within a loss" is based on conference record or overall record?

Not sure how to feel about how the Tigers played…it all being pretty much just 600 yards of rushing seems like it should make it sting a bit even though they kept up till near the game's end.


I'm also not sure how indicative this season is of their future. I still have them pegged as an "Ole Miss" type school…they're going to have really good seasons like this, but for some reason or another, the school just never breaks through that dividing barrier to become better/ that next level.

I'd be shocked if they have as good a year next year, but I wouldn't be shocked if they finish 8-4 or so.

I take it back, I'm for Michigan St. I just can't root for Meyer, and Michigan St. always seems like they always come up just short.

I wasn't talking about next year specifically, but what you say is kind of more or less what I meant. They'll seemingly have these great seasons where the ceiling is just short of the breakthrough a program needs - and they'll do it semi-regularly - but there's never enough there to make that push through they need, and then fall back to average to above average.


On another note:

Gary Pinkel Missouri Tiger teams now in three conference championship games have given up an average of 53 points per game, twice to Oklahoma and once to Auburn tonight. That's a brutal statistic when considering how a coaching staff prepares for an ultimate moment.
