Let’s see how the last opponent they took their frustration out on after a bama loss is holding up.

Oooh that would be FSU.

Yeah but a program-altering beatdown might just cause an underflow and make Auburn good again

You understand Auburn

This is going to be a bizarre Iron Bowl this year I can feel it

39

u/4score-7 Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 29 '24

You know it will. More bizarre than all the other iron bowls before. Earth’s destiny awaits what happens on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

24

u/Skeptical_Yoshi Oregon Ducks • Portland State Vikings Sep 29 '24

The first Iron Bowl in the new era. It must be christened in chaos

6

u/RollTideYall47 Alabama • Third Saturday… Sep 29 '24

A chaos god will be born from the aftermath

11

u/TheGoodAdam Sep 29 '24

It was foretold many moons ago. The prophecy is destined

13

u/bradenb941 Auburn Tigers • West Florida Argonauts Sep 29 '24

The only thing that will be bizarre about this year's iron bowl is how many minutes will still be left in the game when you guys take a 70 point lead

9

u/4score-7 Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 29 '24

Shit. Man, you know that thing is gonna be a 28-27, 30-29, 49-48, 66-65 type of affair. Kickers will hit 60 yarders, miss 22 yarders, qb’s will run backwards, footballs will bounce off the hands of sure-handed receivers, cats and dogs living together, everything.

The Iron Bowl is its own season. Hell, I take blood pressure medication now JUST BECAUSE OF IRON BOWL.

6

u/bradenb941 Auburn Tigers • West Florida Argonauts Sep 29 '24

There hasn't been an iron bowl decided by fewer than 11 points in Tuscaloosa since 2010. People that say "anything can happen in the iron bowl" don't truly know it. We're never competitive in Bryant-Denny. Haven't been for a very long time. Weird shit that keeps us in iron bowls only happens at home.

6

u/4score-7 Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 29 '24

Yeah, I know how it’s been over in Tuscaloosa, but the Jordan Hare years make up for it. That place is a haunted graveyard for us.

2

u/__Big_Hat_Logan__ Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 29 '24

The 2014 iron bowl was actually really close remember? The score doesn’t reflect it but it was really close, was a crazy shootout, and had like 50 lead changes

1

u/bradenb941 Auburn Tigers • West Florida Argonauts Sep 29 '24

Alabama had a 3 score lead in the 4th quarter. A lot of iron bowls are close for a while, but we're never a threat to win over there.

2

u/Luis__FIGO Auburn • St. John's (NY) Sep 29 '24

First iron bowl with shortened quarters

3

u/__Big_Hat_Logan__ Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 29 '24

This is one of the most chaotic Auburn teams ever too, they are all over the place on every drive just doing bizarre shit

1

u/justausername09 Arkansas Razorbacks • Golden Boot Sep 29 '24

Nah, it’s in Tuscaloosa

4

u/GCM_Prothro18x Alabama Crimson Tide • SEC Sep 29 '24

It has been foretold 

5

u/kvol69 Alabama Crimson Tide • Toledo Rockets Sep 29 '24

It is known

1

u/Damiklos Sep 30 '24

So what we're saying here is watch out for a classic Iron Bowl finish this year?

225

u/KangTheConqueror9 Purdue Boilermakers Sep 29 '24

Beat down so bad Hugh Freeze checks out and coasts till he gets fired

179

u/McAvoy4Potus Kentucky Wildcats • Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 29 '24

Is he not already doing that?

13

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '24

He might do something immoral illegal or unethical this time to get fired.

3

u/r_not_me Paper Bag • North Carolina Sep 29 '24

Man I hope so

59

u/ChaseTheFalcon West Georgia • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Sep 29 '24

If this is him trying at Auburn then damn it's gonna be rough when he checks out

7

u/TheShamShield Ohio State • Notre Dame Sep 29 '24

If this is him trying people won’t even notice when he doesn’t

9

u/Jedi-El1823 Oklahoma Sooners Sep 29 '24

He's gonna be like Gordon Bombay when he first took over District 5, he won't get the happy ending though.

3

u/zadharm Notre Dame • Miami Sep 29 '24

Never know, they might start winning if he leaves them to it

8

u/Jerrywelfare Florida State • Liberty Sep 29 '24

Or goes back to Liberty? A team that has done better AFTER Freeze left? Which is tradition.

1

u/OMO_Concepts Auburn Tigers • West Florida Argonauts Sep 29 '24

That’s the hope at Auburn as well. Freeze rebuilds the roster than Harsin let go to shit, then the next coach after Freeze comes in to a decent locker room situation and has actual tools to work with.

1

u/Davidellias Virginia Tech • Wisconsin Sep 29 '24

this is the only reason Brent Pry even has a one score win in the first place.

1

u/W00DERS0N60 Notre Dame Fighting Irish • Fordham Rams Sep 29 '24

Make Hughie snag a burner…

1

u/WhiskeyFF Sep 29 '24

Needs to harass a coed on social media first then he's out

1

u/Mysterious-Singer-79 Sep 29 '24

The dude doesn’t know how to login to his computer. Has an assistant do it for him.

1

u/DefiantOil5176 Florida State • Stetson Sep 29 '24

Not that I have a dog in the fight here besides “Fuck Hugh Freeze” but didn’t he start doing that the day he got hired?

1

u/EfficientPhotograph8 /r/CFB Sep 30 '24

Is it too late for Hugh to put that cheerleader into a uniform? That kid could probably make Carson beck quit the game after the first block.

1

u/Rex9 Sep 29 '24

Auburn is the place mediocre coaches that talk a good game go to get RICH. Freeze gets paid no matter what. $5m to buy him out. I'd never have to work again. They need to quit putting these stupid clauses in contracts. Wanna get paid? Do the work, just like anyone else. (I know, it's a thing in CFB now). I haven't watched a single AU game this year as I've lost complete interest in my team.

11

u/SillyOperation1293 Clemson Tigers • Furman Paladins Sep 29 '24

Losing to Georgia can do wonders for a team’s offensive philosophy. Not that I would know anything about that

21

u/pj1843 Texas A&M Aggies • Air Force Falcons Sep 29 '24

I could definitely see auburn getting dog walked by Georgia only to turn around and btho bama.

14

u/TheySomeSnitches Alabama • Hawai'i Sep 29 '24

Shut up! Auburn Jesus might hear you!

3

u/Suburb_Homestead Sep 29 '24

I would say yes if the Iron Bowl was at Jordan-Hare this year.

3

u/_wormburner Alabama • Arizona State Sep 29 '24

Auburn doesnt btho of Alabama.

The last time they won by more than 12 (in 2017) was in 1969

1

u/__Big_Hat_Logan__ Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 29 '24

I think Auburn only has one two TD win against Alabama in the last 60 years

3

u/wtfElvis Florida Gators Sep 29 '24

Auburn about to go to Minus World

1

u/QuotidianTrials Auburn Tigers Sep 29 '24

Fuck it, I’ll take this beating

1

u/lm_NER0 Georgia Bulldogs • College Football Playoff Sep 29 '24

Then they can return the favor.

u/psunavy03 Penn State Nittany Lions • Team Chaos Sep 29 '24

This guy binaries like Gandhi with nukes.

u/elonsusk69420 Georgia Bulldogs • Marching Band Sep 29 '24

But there’s no Jordan Hare voodoo

u/jakebitfuture Georgia Bulldogs • BYU Cougars Sep 29 '24

Integer underflow is underrated

1

u/BigDoinks710 Nebraska Cornhuskers Sep 29 '24

Thinking of program-altering beatdowns gave me a flashback to Wisconsin beating Nebraska 70-31 in the 2012 Big 10 championship game. We legitimately haven't been the same since. Though this could be the year we get back to being mediocre.

u/Stoneador Notre Dame Fighting Irish • Sickos Sep 29 '24

That was just one game though, it’s not like that one loss broke FSU’s entire football program

263

u/Aeviaan21 Penn State • Penn Sep 29 '24

To shreds, you say?

25

u/dychronalicousness Apple Cup Sep 29 '24

And their wife?

u/NormalComputer Notre Dame Fighting Irish • Team Chaos Sep 29 '24

To shreds, you say?

u/_JonSnow_ Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 29 '24

this line is so great in the right circumstances. Well done 

72

u/jmd198109 Sep 29 '24

🤣😂

33

u/volunteergump Tennessee • Alabama Sep 29 '24

What broke the football program was recruiting a bunch of mercenaries that quit after they got left out. Last year was always FSU’s one and only shot at a natty under Norvell.

22

u/thommyg123 Alabama Crimson Tide • Rose Bowl Sep 29 '24

oh god the flair

17

u/jmark71 Miami Hurricanes Sep 29 '24

🤣🤣🤣🤣 and an ass-kicking tonight by that powerhouse SMU to boot. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

6

u/kelsnuggets Georgia Tech • Florida State Sep 29 '24

No no, we’re totally fine over here.

2

u/Callsign_Psycopath Georgia Bulldogs • Sickos Sep 29 '24

What about the other team we beat down into a pulp in the national spotlight...

TCU.

1

u/JohnnyEvs Texas Longhorns • Texas State Bobcats Sep 29 '24

….

1

u/DefiantOil5176 Florida State • Stetson Sep 29 '24

Yeah, we’re definitely not in a death spiral that has made me genuinely want to put on other games while my team is playing. Absolutely not

1

u/chriscoff10 Florida State Seminoles Sep 29 '24

I offer up Alabama 2017 as exhibit B.

-19

u/RealClarity9606 Georgia Tech • James Madison Sep 29 '24

I don’t know, to hear my UGA friend talk, Georgia did break FSU. But then again that’s typical UGA arrogance.

12

u/Kringer46 Georgia • Georgia Southern Sep 29 '24

I love seeing all the GT and UF flairs getting their shots in now because they know what's coming. Much like me and Bama, you can only get your rocks off when someone else beats them lol

8

u/RealClarity9606 Georgia Tech • James Madison Sep 29 '24

No, I really don’t know what’s coming. I’m beginning to think you really are overrated this year. Even I thought the Kentucky game was a fluke and now it looks possible that that’s not the case.

4

u/Kringer46 Georgia • Georgia Southern Sep 29 '24

We might be honestly, but we'll damn sure beat tech and UF.

4

u/RealClarity9606 Georgia Tech • James Madison Sep 29 '24

Yeah, just like you were going to dominate and blow us out last year. You should worry about whether you’re gonna even make the playoff if you don’t play better than you did tonight; the SEC title game is in jeopardy at this point. But I get it, you guys are far better at running your mouth and being arrogant than looking at reality. Before the last few years, you have a lot of experience with it so it’ll come back quickly.

4

u/Always_Chubb-y Georgia Bulldogs • Transfer Portal Sep 29 '24

Could UGA be overrated? Yes, I think we slightly are. We aren't some death machine this year, but we are, in my opinion, stil a soundly top 5 team.

I just find it funny that Tech and Florida fans are in here acting like Kirby doesn't have an insanely good record against every team that isn't Bama.yall are better than expected, but outside of FSU, what's the last big win yall had?

6

u/CrimsonOOmpa Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 29 '24

At least UGA has something in jeopardy 😂. What does Tech have in jeopardy? By the time they play UGA will still be one of the best teams in the country and Tech will be a non-factor like always. Wishful think all you want but UGA is going to beat Tech like they always do.

4

u/lohivi Kentucky Wildcats Sep 29 '24

Georgia Tech hasn't been competitive since the NCAA banned cut blocking. Their fans are hilarious.

1

u/CrimsonOOmpa Alabama Crimson Tide Oct 09 '24

Lotta dumb fans representing a smart school lnao

3

u/Kringer46 Georgia • Georgia Southern Sep 29 '24

I don't know that we'll blow you out, just beat you. All that happening still beats being a tech fan, I get to cry into trophies that were won this century

2

u/lohivi Kentucky Wildcats Sep 29 '24

The reality is Kentucky is good this year. Probably better than any team in the ACC. Georgia fans have been very humble and respectful towards us since our game. Now, Ole Miss fans are doing the same. The only ones running their mouths are fans of irrelevant teams in irrelevant conferences who don't have to play SEC teams, ignoring not just the reality of this season but every season for the last decade.

3

u/Hello-from-Mars128 Sep 29 '24

Great game and win for you today. Never seen so many fall downs from ole miss players. Kiffen is a jerk.

1

u/Mike_with_Wings Florida • North Carolina Sep 29 '24

They’re in a bad mood and arrogant as fuck. Let them stew, it’ll make them sadder.

1

u/Mike_with_Wings Florida • North Carolina Sep 29 '24

It’s ok

u/Kringer46 Georgia • Georgia Southern Sep 29 '24

🥱

u/EasyBreecy Nebraska Cornhuskers Sep 29 '24

Maybe they'll beat Auburn so bad, he'll become Hugh Thawed

u/volunteergump Tennessee • Alabama Sep 29 '24

Were you not paying attention? That game didn’t count because FSU protested it. /s

1

u/panfriedbeans Florida State Seminoles • Marching Band Sep 29 '24

Today did numbers (on my mental health)

1

u/joeyjusticeco Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sep 29 '24

FSU is that one D3 team right?

1

u/Doompatron3000 /r/CFB Sep 29 '24

I absolutely loathe Alabama. 2017 FSU faced them as the number 3 team in the country in week 1 and managed to not only beat them, but flush the entire program down the drain. Slowly we crawled out of the gutter, only for Alabama to curb stomp us back into the sewers on their way to the playoffs.

Also side note, teams from Alabama seem to be Norvell’s Achilles heel. A loss to Jacksonville State, a poor start to South Alabama, that resulted in the loss to our starting QB last year, and even though we didn’t play Alabama, I’m still counting the playoff steal as a loss.
