We all know...social media is MUCH louder, more broad and reaches deeper than it was in 1992, 1998 or 2012.

The Auburn Family simply won't stand for consecutive mediocre seasons without an immediate bombshell plan in place i.e. Briles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official AU account, which that is, usually only follows just current & former players as well as commits. Why viper is saying is that Stidham isn't a former, or current player. He is not a commit either. Does @footballAU always follow target recruits as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked and saw the account was not following Stidham. I made it a point to say the account was not following JS because it would have been at least interesting if it was following him since it usually only follows former & current players as well as commits. Read his post again. Then it will make sense. "JS last Twitter follow was @FootballAU. He also follows Gus and Rhett." I feel like we're back in Junior High English class.

The only way the common fan voice has an impact is if they don't go to games & do so in large numbers. Social media had absolutely nothing to do w/ the NCAA moving the playoff games from NYE. They are moving them because ESPN lost a crap ton of money & viewership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he says JS follows other accounts. I may be wrong and fine if I am but that's how it reads to me. After seeing Stidham's following section it's clear I'm wrong & misinterpreted Thatch's post. My apologies to the board for the derailment. Edited August 9, 2016 by ellitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get too excited because he also follows every other SEC coach." It means the last person Stidham followed on Twitter was @FootballAU. He also follows Gus and Rhett. He also follows every other SEC coach. Subject. Pronoun. Pronoun. Simple English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Gogue is there JJ is safe. I will say they are praying the football team will have a decent year so we can get some stablity. If we have a god awful season things could/can change. They feel good about the status of BB and Baseball I hate to use the word decent for a football season but it is what it is for now. There is no reason Auburn can't be a consistent 10 win team. Now to get back to JS we are in shape for him if things fall into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound like they're concrete on Gus at all. So in your opinion, does Gus survive a 4-8 to 6-6 season with Briles declining the OC job?

FWIW. now we're talking!!!.....i just don't have the confidence that anybody connected with the hiring process can make a decent decision on a good president....by "decent" i mean a president who likes to win football,baseball, and basketball games better than he likes to trim rose bushes and sip wine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
