Volatile

So, The Counselor used a word the other night that perfectly described Auburn football:  Volatile.  They are a crazy program.  Consider this…

Since the start of the 2004 season:

-Auburn has had TWO 8-0 SEC records.  (No other SEC Team has accomplished this feat.  Not Florida, Not LSU, Not Bama).

-Auburn has THREE SECCG appearances, leading to THREE SEC titles.  2 of those led to National Championship Game appearances.

-They have had THREE head coaches.

-In the SEC, they have a 2-6 season, 3-5 season, and 0-8 season.

-Overall, they have a 5-7 season and 3-9 season.

-They have had TWO seasons they did not go to a bowl and TWO seasons playing in the National Championship Game.

-They have had a Heisman winner (Newton) and Heisman runner-up (Mason)…and they have fired two coaches.

-They have had TWO starting QBs that were kicked off two of their oldest rivals (Florida and Georgia).

UGA since 2004:

-ONE 3-5 season in the SEC (2010, playing a redshirt freshman QB and Green-gate to start the season).  That was the lowpoint in SEC records.

-ONE head coach

-THREE SECCG appearances.  ONE SEC Championship.  

-ZERO National Championship Game appearances

-ZERO Heisman Finalist

-ZERO seasons in which we DID NOT make a bowl

-ZERO undefeated SEC seasons

-Worst overall record:  6-7 (2010)

I’ve never seen anything like it.  Auburn probably gets the ire of UGA fans up more than any team.  They are hot or cold.  Me thinks it’s feeling chilly on the Plains this year.
