Hoping to see my boy Devan Barrett get more reps.  He has looked solid when in there.  

[johnnyAU 3,630]

Well, well well.  

Malik "the Masher" again gets zero touches, and neither Martin nor Barrett get carries. 

The vaunted trio of NCM, Davis and McClain get zero targets....again.

Gentlemen, I still love that you chose Auburn on NSD.  I still look forward to each of you getting the touches so you can showcase your abilities and grow as a player.  However, it saddens me to say, that you should all realistically consider lining up your transfer options.  Nothing is going to change for you under this regime.

A ray of sunshine? Mr. Carlson to 17th on the charts (with a bullet).

Alas, a cloud? I suspect* that Mr. Carlson would gladly trade one of those FGs for one more PAT-attempt opportunity.

All I got.

[* Though I sometimes feel like our relationship has grown to the point we can finish each other's sentences, I have no real evidence that it's requited.]

He kills me. Such a heartbreaker. 

I resepect his goodbye message though. Oddly enough, Sean finally posted something on social yesterday too. 

Ugh. Do I get to choose a new crush?! ??‍♀️

[AUld fAUx@ 2,584]

and the hits just keep on coming

This guy makes it too easy

"On Thursday, Auburn kicker Daniel Carlson was nominated for the 2017 Wuerffel Trophy, an award known as “College Football’s Premier Award for Community Service” and presented annually to the FBS player who best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement."

Yeah, Rule #3. Make it count this time. 

[AUBwins 10,074]

Man crush touchdown!  Way to go DB!

[AUld fAUx@ 2,584]

Mr. Carlson moves up to #11 on NCAA all-time career scoring, with no active players above him.

Six more points to pass Kyle Brotzman and enter the Top Ten.

May be a bit biased, but I suspect he can do that in the bye-week.

[WarTim 3,456]

My man crush is Chip. If Gus would stop crushing my man, my man has proven he would be "crushing it"...?

[McLoofus 35,182]

Carl Lawson's highest single season sack total at Auburn was 9.5. Jeff Holland currently sits at 8.0. He is averaging a sack per game.

Auburn's single season record is 12. We have 4 regular season games remaining and have become bowl eligible. 

(And while I'm patting myself on the back for having crushed wisely, I'll add that Kerryon Johnson is an every-down, between-the-tackles running back.)

[LKEEL75 2,566]

Glad to see my man crush getting his healthy and starting to look like the KP from last year.

[ValleyTiger 2,894]

For you and your man crush @triangletiger:

an excerpt:

Quote

 

On Coe’s 22 tackles this season — 11 solo and 11 assisted, which translates to a 16.5 tackle mark on the FSH site — the offense hasn’t had a single successful play, run or pass.

“Probably the biggest thing is that young guys, you can see pass rush early — the skill set to pass rush,” Auburn defensive end Kevin Steele said Tuesday night. “But the other thing is that he’s really improved his run game play, his technique on run blocks.”

That 0.0 success rate is rare in college football this late in the season. Not only is Coe the only SEC defender with that number on double-digit tackles, he’s one of only four in the nation’s top 40 teams per S&P+ ratings.

The other three are Ohio State defensive end Chase Young, Ohio State linebacker Baron Browning and South Florida defensive end Mike Love. Coe has the most tackles from that group by a decent margin.

Well this sucks for my man crush...

 

[abw0004 10,110]

Not my man crush, but I hope Jeremiah Dinson has a career day on Saturday.  It will come full circle for him, 2 years after his devastating injury on Kyle Field.  Want nothing but the best for him.

And of course, if he misses anything, my actual man crush, Daniel Thomas will surely pick up the slack.

[AUld fAUx@ 2,584]

Third time's a charm?

 MY MAN Brown doing work, led the team in tackles today. 

[johnnyAU 3,630]

Malik "the Masher" Miller got his first TD of the year!!!!!!

(granted it was on the blocked punt when he picked up the ball that Hastings dropped, but I digress)

[aufan57 922]

Congrats to Braden, SEC offensive lineman of the week.

Aidan co-freshman of the week, also. Averaged 47.4 yds per punt.wow!
