Auburn/Washington State Game
- Thread starter Coug LJ
- Start date
Washington St. has had a lot of success within the last 5 years. They are located in a place where it is VERY difficult to recruit and compete. Only advantage WSU has is they sometimes take questionable recruits (academically and past history) and that helps a team in terms of talent. In the last 5 years, WSU has had more success than 60% of the SEC.
People should respect WSU.

Coaching scandals will do that to programs.
1991, 1992, and 2001 rosebowl champs. 1991 co National champs. How many national championships has Auburn won since 1991?
OOC opponents who have played at Washington
2000: Miami
2001: Michigan
2005: Notre Dame
2007: Ohio State
2008: Notre Dame and Oklahoma (just moved from 2007)
Apparently some ADs out there think that Washington is a quailty program.
If Auburn wants to fit a game at Husky Stadium I'm sure they could. 72,000 is a small crowd but I'm sure they could manage to make a buck or two.

Did all 72,000 show up to watch the most pathetic season out of all 117 schools last year? 1-10 I think is correct?
Washington is not even on the same level as Auburn. They are more comparable to Kentucky or Ole miss, only not as good because they play weaker opponents in the pac-10.
Any team that only wins one game in a weak conference sucks shit! End of story. Next...
man you are getting delusional.......washington = kentucky and ole miss?????
do either of those teams win more than 7 games once a decade?????
still never heard the answer as to when auburn won an ncaa champ????
has uw been down a bit --yes
are they kentucky or ole miss---only in your redneck world

You're right. UK and Ole Miss are much better than UW, but I was trying to give UW as much credit as possible.
Down a bit? 1 WIN!!!! 10 LOSSES!!!!
You call that down a bit? I call that terrible enough to drop the football program all-together. I damn sure wouldn't defend them, but I knew you would. There's no accounting for your idiocy or SEC "penis-envy".
all time pac-10 wins uw is 2nd
80's: uw is 3rd
90's: uw is1st
00's: uw is 5th
sounds like a pretty good program to me that's a bit down (epecially after skippy left town)
show me a decade where kentucky-miss has ever been any good (and please dont go back to the 50's)
i think you watch 1 college game a week....auburn....and know NOTHING about the rest of college football...only auburn and all the great teams they play every year...you know like troy state, furman, la monroe, vandy, kent, miss state, s car

UW plays in the pac-10, which is a weak conference. So wins in that conference mean little to me.
Again, if you know so much, where are your picks? Just arguments and shit talk...

You're actually comparing Kentuckys football program to Univ. of Wash. :mj07:
I think you need to stop sniffing glue. Washington has been horrible of late, but at least they have won something.

In my hick world, Washington went 1-10 last year in a weak conference, with 0 conference wins.
In my hick world, Kentucky went 2-9.
Were those records different in your world?
Let me know.

Like I said, I said I am looking forward to playing Auburn. The last time a Pac-10 school went to Auburn they were supposed to be world beaters and the War Eagles laid a big fat egg. Their Offense was so one dimensional that when USC stopped the run, the whole team was stuck in turf. They had to get a guy from Oregon to show them how to pass.
I am not worried. We've played better schools than Auburn. We play one every year, in fact. Hard to know what's out there when you never have any OOC road games. You only know what you see.

I am looking forward to playing WSU also. Although, there is nothing to gain for Auburn by playing this game. We will be heavily favored and expected to win.

Good call.

Well, if you guys EVER play any OOC games away from home and against competition, you, too, might be an underdog. Don't put this game in your pocket just, yet. WSU will be bowl team this year and should be better in 2006.
I know everything is seashells and balloons in Auburn right now, but you guys are just a little over a year down the road from firing your Coach in the middle of the night. Things change. When your alums were trying to throw Tommy Tuberville in a ditch, we were beating Texas in the Holiday Bowl.

Nothing to gain?
You still cry about last year's injustice of not playing SC in the Orange bowl....had you played Wazzu last year (OR ANY BCS TEAM)..you will improve your SOS thus improve your BCS ranking thus improving your chances of playing in the title....but you dont realize that beacuse you play in the sec and damint you are the best and all your conf games are tough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, this board seems pretty interesting. I thought I'd jump in on this fun little debate. Btw, I'm not a fan of either conference, and I respect both. The SEC is a tough conference almost every year, but I have to agree that they don't play anyone but themselves.
Drop the football program all together??? So what do you do with UK and Vandy??? I guess because each had 1 more win that UW last year, they're powerhouse programs.
Since the turn of the century ( the last 5 yrs) UW is 33-27, above .500, while UK is a mere 17-40.
They're definitely different in my world. In my world, UK only went 2-9 last season, they went 4-8 in 2003 when UW was 6-6. Maybe we all live in different worlds.

Amen to this point. . . you SEC guys are so stuck on the fact that money is the driving factor for OOC games and maybe it is, but consider this point: how about winning the national championship? How much revenue would that bring in to the school and conference? If Auburn and other SEC teams really cared about money then they would play a more difficult OOC (and travel to play them), then go to the national championship game, then reap the financial rewards of winning the BCS national championship!
But no, the SEC geniuses only see what's in front of them. . . easy OOC home games where they make a couple bucks instead of taking a chance on the jackpot :clap:

A1001,
You're a complete jackass. You don't even know your OWN conference. Kentucky finished 2-9 last season with their only wins coming against Indiana :mj07: at HOME (NOT on the road) and Vanderbilt at HOME. Yeah, good observation.
ND probably won't beat USC at home this year. But stranger things have happened ask the players at Michigan and Tennessee.

This is simply inaccurate. The money from bowls, BCS or not, gets divided by the conference members. Some conferences do it equally, some give the bowl team one extra share. So an Auburn really only makes about 1.5-2 million for a BCS bowl - they make alot more with any home game. The bCS is prestige, but it isnt the financial jackpot some think it is.
