The Journey of Auburn Football Under Gene Chizik: A Story Told in Gifs
Just two years removed from a national championship season, the Auburn Tigers have a 2-8 record, are winless in conference play, have no hope, no direction, and they’re employing a beat-down head coach with a $10,000,000 buyout price tag. “But Rodge, how’d they’d get to this point? What happened along the way?”
Let’s take a journey, gif-style.
Chizik hired before 2009 season, previous records at Iowa State are 3-9 in ’07 and 2-10 in ’08

Dammit Dorn, you really know how to get my motor runnin’.
12 years ago at 4:18 pmThis was pretty good, gotta love when Ric Flair makes an appearance.
12 years ago at 4:28 pmWay too much clicking… Get those PPC DOLLARS IN MOTHER FUCKER! Bacon’s writing columns and TFMs, Dorn’s whoring for page views, Dick Perry’s dead, A book is getting shoved down my throat, and Rowdy Gentleman remains stagnant, while they’re hunting for a low-paid intern. Trouble’s a’brewin at the TFM office… Hittin the demographic ceiling, advertising is goin sour, that book better establish the brand, and after the previous attempts at aligning with different media, I’m interested to see how this pans out. Gotta find expansion somewhere
12 years ago at 4:39 pmGet a grip, man. The pages are for your benefit. It would take a long time to load all the .gifs if they were all on one page.
12 years ago at 4:47 pmSimple answer for them. Expand the demographic outside of the fraternity circle, which explains the new Post Grad Problems brand. They have to target the geeds somehow, which also explains the watered down fraternity material into something more on the “bro” side that still appeals to the fraternities. As the Grandex team ages and gets further removed from their own frat experiences, they drift further from their roots, but they can expand their base to avoid stagnation. Sucks for the readers who have been on the site for awhile, but you can’t hate on their business strategy. A man’s got to eat.
12 years ago at 4:55 pm^ and ^^^ must have started blowing down real early this weekend.
12 years ago at 5:28 pmThat’s true Dorn, I’m not tryin to test you, just voicing some observations. My grip is solid as always. Just a little bit of skeptical consternation due to some small but deliberate recent changes to the site and its content/ contributors that I’ve noticed. And jmt, yeah dude, I had some tests today. Professors throw ’em at you the day before break. Waitin for the addy to wear down.
12 years ago at 5:46 pmI’m not waiting to come down, just sidestepping if you know what I mean.
12 years ago at 6:16 pm^^^^^^ Best comment I’ve seen in awhile.
12 years ago at 4:17 pmSeriously one of the funnier things posted. Well done Rodge.
12 years ago at 4:46 pmThis article produced quite the laugh/semen explosion.
12 years ago at 4:51 pmCan we get a name for the glorious butt pee angel that fell from butt pee heaven? Seriously what’s that Hussies name?
12 years ago at 1:41 amWar damn anyway
12 years ago at 3:58 amNo. War Damn Anyways is the stupidest saying as it accepts mediocrity. We aren’t Ole Miss and therefore seasons without at least 9 wins are unacceptable. If you are okay with a 3-9 season (hopefully), then I assume you’re also in a mid-tier fraternity and will be making about $80,000 a year max in your career.
War Eagle and fuck Chizik
12 years ago at 11:19 amFuck you War Damn USA
12 years ago at 6:12 pmNo, I’m not ok with this shit. We need to reorganize and turn this shit around. Pat Dye is ok with Chizik coming back. I am not. This season is an absolute disgrace..
12 years ago at 7:06 pmThat’s better. Just enough with the ‘anyways’ bullshit. We can’t accept mediocrity
12 years ago at 9:28 amYou’re a disgrace
12 years ago at 3:22 pm^ boooooooooo
