Auburn by 2 touchdowns.

They are much better than I thought they would be with the 2 guys suspended (1st and 3rd leading returning scorers I believe). I think it is going to be really hard to keep up with their athleticism and offensive ability and that this may end up being the type of game most people expected Louisville to be.

Hope I'm wrong, but at least the guys get a trip to Alabama out of it!!!

 

[PDGL Hoops]

They score a lot of points....us not so much.

80-67

interesting stat: we are averaging 69.7 PPG, we are giving up an average of 70.7 PPG...Got to start tightening up on defense!

Birmingham is a cool town.

Birmingham is a cool town.

Auburn isn't in Birmingham, though. It's closer to the Georgia border.

I've never been to Auburn's campus, but I know someone who works there and it looks like a beautiful place. The only school I've visited in Alabama was Troy, and Troy is no Alabama or Auburn.

Oh, I'm going to say we lose by about 15 -- down 20+ by about midway through the second half and then Auburn coasts and we go on a run late.

Count me in this camp- down big, we go on a late, meaningless run to make the score look better than the actual play on the court would dictate.

FWIW, Gary Danielson was on the Junkies yesterday talking about the Auburn-Bama football game and said Auburn's campus is a great setting for a late Nov game.

We don't play fast enough for that to happen...unless Auburn turns us over 25 times.

 

[Falco]

I hate waiting for the game!

 

[phoenix-arizona]

You’re right, it was Montgomery that was the cool town.

Auburn players drink too much celebrating the victory over Georgia and we sneak out with a win

Auburn 74

or more realistically we lose by 15
