This whole draft was a disgrace. I hope Hugh can turn the tide for us putting players in the league, because damn. Marcus could have probably improved his stock a ton with one more year.

He wouldn’t have gotten drafted Thursday or Friday night if he stayed at Auburn. Hell he may have not even been drafted at all. The smartest thing I’ve seen an Auburn player do in 15 is Bo telling us to kick rocks. Good for him.

I think this is a reasonable expectation for year two. Anything less than 7-8 is a problem.I’d almost say 8 should be the floor expectation with this staff and roster. When the weak link of your offense is a 5th year QB with 8300 yards passing 8 wins should be very reasonable.

The only excuse would be terrible play calling and I would hope and assume Hugh won’t have that issue.

Nice WR crew with plenty of experience. Hopefully PT gets his sh*t together and we can actually have an offense.

Jay Fair had a ton of potential, but he just never fit into the plan here. Wonder if he lands at one of the major Texas schools.

So I take it you’re a Bernie guy, right? Or at least something close to that. Why do you think Bernie has run as a Democrat twice now? Seems like he’d run with the Republicans if they were the working man’s party. Also, seems like he would choose the party that he thought brought him the most voters aligned with his ideals. Don’t mistake me saying the Democrats are the more aligned party. They’re still not close to where you or I want them to be. But they are closer than the Republicans. Always have been, always will be. What I see is a screwed up voter base situation. The Democrats are more aligned with the working class and poor on policy, but they also embrace “woke” ideals and social equality far more than the GOP. So poor and working class people vote GOP, even though it’s against their best interests economically. Bernie and AOC would do the most policy wise for the working man, but they just can’t bring themselves to vote for north eastern liberals, because they aren’t racist.

I think we all know that both parties are owned by big money and special interests. I don’t think anyone would ever question that. The problem is the special interests that own the Republicans are gun lobbies and theocratic/autocracy sympathizers . The republicans are rolling back rights and causing material harm to people as a source of policy. Overturning Roe harmed poor/uneducated people worse than anything anyone has done in 100 years.

You can’t find a democrat who supports a higher minimum wage or unions? Really?

Does it though? Does Donald Trump do anything to help the struggling blue collar and less educated? Or did he specifically target them as a voting base, because they’re the easiest target? The modern day Democratic Party for the most part is relatively moderate on economic policy, when you compare them to left leaning parties around the world. But they’re still the working class party. In fact, they represent just about everyone that isn’t filthy rich. The dems still champion social security, paid family leave, affordable healthcare, higher wages, tech jobs, clean energy & unions far far more than republicans. And the Bernie wing is basically trying to be a socialist labor party. I hope people don’t forget just how little the Republican House has done in the last two years. Biggest do nothing congress in history.

Yea I walked back my original comment. I don’t think it sounds as bad when you hear all the surrounding context.

That’s fair. I admittedly reacted before I fully understood what your original take meant. My mistake. I went back and listened to the context surrounding the thing with his dad choosing. Begrudgingly, because Shannon Sharpe bugs me. All I can think is that it makes it sound like his father chose Auburn and that decision was due to outside influences. I honestly still don’t understand the value in admitting that. Maybe I’m missing some deeper reasoning here.

He’s definitely allowed to tell his story. But I don’t understand the value in telling the world, you didn’t even want to go to Auburn. Seems like the kind of thing that could be omitted in the story.

I remember being very off put by him in the early days when he was with Terri Runnels
