Bob Davie: "You have to worry about the Auburn fans; there are a lot of fans here in orange jerseys, if they're not exhausted. Cheering so hard for South Carolina in that game earlier this afternoon. I mean, the roar in this stadium (from Auburn fans) when South Carolina scored you would of thought there was a live game going on."
The biggest cheers from the Auburn contingent Saturday night might have been about a game more than 400 miles away.
Tigers fans twice broke out in cheers as news of state rival Alabama’s loss to South Carolina spread.
A group gathered in the corner of one upper deck to peer into a luxury box, which showed the Gamecocks’ 35-21 upset of the Crimson Tide.
They cheered loudly in the pre-game when USC running back Marcus Lattimore scored a late touchdown. They erupted again when the final score was announced over the PA during the first half.
"If they get beat, it will be an upset," Dye told a huge crowd at the Montgomery Quarterback Club's meeting Tuesday night. "But you have to be lucky to go undefeated, I don't care how good you are.
"If they are not at the top of their game and the team they're playing is at the top of their game, that team will have a chance to win. The SEC is just too tough a league."
"This is kind of hard to say as an Auburn man, but Alabama is a fun team to watch," he said. "They play the game the way it ought to be played.
"Alabama's got the right man in there now," Dye said, referring to Tide head coach Nick Saban. "But it took them 20 years. We've got a good coach at Auburn right now, and the fans need to trust him.

"The big thing is, Auburn needs to worry about what's happening at Auburn and not worry about what's happening across the state. Because we can only control what goes on at Auburn. If we are the best that we can be at Auburn, then that'll take care of Alabama."
Jay Jacobs wants to make one thing perfectly clear. The Auburn Tigers are not copycats.The Auburn AD is very much aware that his biggest rival is finishing its second major expansion in the last four years, that Bryant-Denny Stadium now looks like Jordan-Hare on HGH.
But if you're waiting for Auburn to follow Alabama's lead, don't hold your breath until you turn blue. Or orange.
"We're not going to increase our capacity just because someone else is increasing their capacity," Jacobs said. "We're going to do what's best for us."
“Oh, no doubt,” the starter said. “Anytime you turn on the TV or you turn on the sports talk radio show or anywhere, they’re talking about the other team ... Of course, we know that they’re an excellent team as well. We feel like we’re not being mentioned as we should be.”
Another clean tackle, courtesy of a Ted Roof coached defensive player!“I congratulate them on their national championship,” Auburn senior linebacker Josh Bynes said. “But at the same time, if one play goes differently, we could have won the Iron Bowl. Of course, it didn’t go our way, and they beat us. But we know we’re right there.
You look at coach (Nick) Saban’s first year at Alabama, and he didn’t win against us, and now all of a sudden, they’ve won two years against us and you hear all sorts of things like they’re going to own Auburn the next couple of years. I’m telling you … that’s not going to be the case.”
We know for a fact that we’re a better team now than we were the year before, and we’re going to go out there and play at a level 20 times higher than we did before, especially defensively.
It’s going to be a different feel around that game from now on, and with Alabama winning the national championship, it’s going to be even higher expectations. There’s nothing like beating the previous year’s national champion, and there ain’t nothing like winning the Iron Bowl.”A Bammer fan on another forum summed it up perfectly for us, or as moi calls it, "nailed us on the head":
“Nothing in there about AU's hopes for this season, nothing about where they stand in the SEC or BCS picture, nothing about his personal progress. As usual, it's an article full of quotes on Bama......because that's what their program lives to do, beat Bama. At Alabama, we play 12 games in the regular season, whereas Auburn only plays one. And who might that one be? See the last team on the schedule and hence the reason (one of a million reasons at that) they save their only bye week prior to playing the last game in the regular season.
I literally can't remember, besides the actual Iron Bowl week, the last time that anyone associated with our program has even mentioned Auburn.”
But as Mr. Joshua Bynes said himself, ain't nothing like winning an Iron Bowl national championship and guess what bammers... WE WON SIX STRAIGHT IRON BOWL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS LAST DECADE AND Y'ALL DIDN'T!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHA!!
