Lou Holtz, of all people, dug up this hoary chestnut: if Auburn loses today’s Chick-fil-A Bowl, it will become the first defending national champion to lose six games the following season since the 1943 Ohio State Buckeyes. And as Granny put it, that happened during WWII, when you had entire team rosters that didn’t return the next season.

Quote Of The Day
“I hope they would have the same commitment every year,” Richt said. “But they are human and they’re going to be hearing about it and thinking about it all year and they know that we can’t wait ‘til midseason to be in midseason form. We’ve got to be there Game One. So that means you’ve got to be prepared.” -- AJ-C, 5/7/13Search

Yeah. Kinda makes one feel poorly for them. Not!
More anxious to beat their ass again next year. Then I will calculate how far they have fallen. Anyway, it can’t be far enough.
Amen!
At Fairley and Newton’s house there isn’t a dry eye
Given their love of nicknames, the War Eagle Tiger Plainsmen can now add “One-Year Wonders” to their collection.
Boy, when the War chickens go “all-in” they mean it.
Kharma’s a bitch.
I do believe our Bulldogs were the national champions in 1942, Senator.
Hoary??? Did you get a Word of the Day calendar for Hanukkah?
When I think of Lou Holtz, I think “hoary”.
Really a funny comparison but not exactly fair. How many games did they play in a season? It’s a lot easier to lose six when you play twelve. Still, as I sit here and watch AU/VA, it’s obvious they both suck. This has to be the worst two teams ever in the Peach.
Georgia won the 1942 National Championship.
It really took 11 comments to point this out?
There were three schools recognized as national champs in ’42: Georgia, Ohio State and Wisconsin.
Didn’t know it was a question. It still bugs me that UGA won the Rose Bowl and they stopped as an open bowl after that. That is the last bastion I want to see fall from the cowardly actions of Delaney and the Big !.
