Define "a good showing" against Bama

[aTotal360]

Cover the spread?

7 point loss?

14 point loss?

69 point loss?

Score don't matter, but I want us to move the ball?

We beat Bama's @$$?

 

[maroonmania]

At this point you could probably say scoring at least one TD in Tuscaloosa is a good showing.

 

[Seinfeld]

I wouldn’t go as far as to say that I’d be pleased with this, but beating the spread would be entirely acceptable to me. Doing so would either mean that Arnett had a fantastic game plan for Bryce Young or else Leach will prove me wrong by showing that this offense can actually move the ball against a good pass rush.

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

The game still being in doubt at halftime would constitute a good showing to me.

 

[Perd Hapley]

No injuries.

 

[maroonmadman]

Winning the game. Anything less sucks.

 

[SouthMsDawg]

Scoring 2 TDs

 

[Lucifer Morningstar]

Get out with no injuries and stay with in the spread. Can we win? Sure we can. Will we win? No, just plain no.

The ESPN crew is still talking about our game and not everything else in the third quarter.

 

[Croomonshrooms]

Without sharp and Johnson ? Staying within 30 points would be about what I would expect. And to get out of there in one piece.

 

[columbiadawg2]

Everyone that plays being healthy for Auburn. We cannot win, we cannot keep it close, Saban laughs at the "Air Raid". There is no competing against Bama in our current state.

 

[dawgstudent]

Be within 2 TD at end of 3rd.

 

[Dawgbite]

The game being within one score with under eight minutes in the game and the Refs taking over to help with the outcome.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Making Bama strain at least a little at some point during the game.

If we're not competitive going into the 4th quarter, it's not a "good showing" to me. I think some people may be using "good showing" synonymously with "achieving or over achieving", which I think is fair, but I just can't call a game we're not competitive in good.

I guess I'll feel slightly better if we at least move the ball on offense, and maybe should consider us moving the ball and them not scoring at will a good showing, but it won't be enjoyable.

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

Be within 2 scores in the 4th Qrt.
Sorry Dawgstudent, we should aspire to be better and accept nothing less as a “good showing”

 

[woozman]

I think I can sum up everyone’s comments: Basically not doing what we have done in Tuscaloosa for the past 15-years……

 

[GloryDawg]

Saban having a stroke on the side lines because the Refs are 17 them over.

 

[msstatelp1]

Not looking like a Pee Wee team

 

[preacher_dawg]

We win.

 

[Bullldawg78]

This kind of performance from Bama!

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

To crush our enemies and see them driven before us and to hear the lamentations of their women. But to get back to reality to escape with no further injuries would be satisfactory.

 

[MeridianDog]

For me to win Powerball Saturday night would be very acceptable.

The Game?

Oh ... That I don't decide to turn it off at Halftime.

Winning powerball would be a soothing balm to the T-Town loss I expect

17 point loss. Scoring 17.

 

[Blitz83]

Winning the game. Coaching staff that is fully engaged.

 

[HRMSU]

Get out with no injuries and stay with in the spread. Can we win? Sure we can. Will we win? No, just plain no.

Something that won't happen this Saturday. Zero chance.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Effort and overall play will be watched.
Do we fight, and do what we can.
That is all I can ask, every week.

17 Bama.

Scoring a TD and keeping the margin of loss under 50.

What would I be able to temp them with that they can not get from Bama boosters? Even I have limits.

 

[ronpolk]

Be within 2 TD at end of 3rd.

This would be a good showing for me.

talent gap notwithstanding… this is just a bad matchup. We aren’t great at stopping the run and they can run the ball. I expect Bama to have lots of long drives, similar to Kentucky. Offense will play not be able to get in a rhythm because they won’t have the ball very long.

hope I’m wrong but I expect it to get ugly.

 

[PBRME]

Close enough I’m angry we didn’t win. Not angry because we got our **** pushed in.

 

[Dawgg]

We score the elusive Tuscaloosa Touchdown.

 

[BigDawg0074]

Cover the spread. Anything else is par for the coarse.
