PJ has a tendancy(sp?) of breaking records like this!

 

[SPALDINGCOLT]

I'm sure Paul johnson will get our guys ready. I really have a good feeling about this game the same feeling of when we beat UGAY last year...

Wasn't Auburn like #4 when we pulled down the posts in '03 (or was it 04)?

Week one they were, but they lost to USCw and dropped a little and played us with a ranking in the teens I think.

What abou Miami in 04ish???

What abou Miami in 04ish???

Miami in 2004 beat us pretty badly at home, IIRC.

In 05 we played them in Miami and won. I think they were ranked 3?

Yes.

I was going to bring up Miami.

YOU AND YOUR TOPIC HAVE FAILED, SIR.

Miami was on the road... the thread title says "at home".

This.


We have beaten our share of top 5 teams ('90 UVA, '00 Clemson, '05 Miami), just none at home.

You and your topic have failed, sir.

your reading and lack of understanding of what "at home" means have failed, sir

 

[Xihix]

my caring is non evident, sir

I would think beating a top five opponent at their place would be more significant than beating them at home.

Except that's not the point of the thread.

 

[Xihix]

Meh, my point is valid.

Any way, this thread will be irrelevant when we kick their ass next week.

 

[JacketDan]

Meh, my point is valid.

I totally need to call my mom and apologize again for those years I spent being a teenager.

 

[JoltinJacket]

Yes it will, but I"m just providing some historical context to the win that will come next week.

You'd be wrong. The celebration is much better when you beat a top-5 team in your stadium.

I want this one like nothing before.
