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
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

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.

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.

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 !.
