Myrick Minute: Why even a perfect Auburn team will not please fans

Auburn football could score a perfect 100 points and shut out Southern Miss on Saturday. However, even this perfect performance may not satisfy some fans. Fandom is a subjective experience, and opinions vary widely among Auburn supporters. After last Saturday's close win against Baylor, fans are left feeling a mix of relief, optimism, and concern.

For those in the pessimistic camp, this victory is just the beginning of a new era with new players and coaching changes. While there is hope that head coach Alex Golesh will make adjustments, there are still concerns about whether those changes will be enough. The phrase "as they should" is often used, but it lacks the recognition and praise that many fans crave.

Taking out the trash is a mundane task, yet it is expected and taken for granted. Similarly, Auburn fans should not expect a pat on the back for the team dominating a weak opponent at home. Everyone should understand that this is college football, and the Tigers will face scrutiny regardless of their performance. If Auburn struggles, it will be a topic of discussion and analysis.

If they lose, fans will be disappointed and people will have a field day. However, the Tigers have the potential to impress some fans and it is hoped that they will enjoy a successful season ahead.
