So when some of us who remember our parents and grandparents talk about, “the Barfield years”, it seems we’re now stuck in a worse version of AU Football…and it sucks. (The end)
Auburn football from the final two years of the Malzahn era through yesterday’s home loss to Florida is the worst sustained stretch the program has seen since the late 1940s/early 1950s. (1)
Different era, different scale of failure, but the same sinking feeling of a program stuck in a multi-year rut that refuses to end.
Yesterday’s home loss to Florida is just the latest data point. (10)
I’ll tell you why I’m pissed. My kids don’t care about or enjoy Auburn Football. They’ve been forced their entire lives to get excited about and sit through disappointment. Now they don’t even bother. This stretch of failure has turned off the next generation.
