Arryn freakin’ Siposs. The man, the myth, the legend, the accent, the leg.

He got me feelin:

I pick him strategically – With my luck, my man-crush just won’t show up. And if he’s not on the field, something is going awfully, awfully right.

(Too bad ZZ Top isn't Australian - or could also have gone with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAzTO8GMZhk

 

Really thought I could snag this guy, but kudos for taking him 3rd overall.

Nick Coe... All Day, Everyday. Man is a BEAST.

I’ll take Chandler Cox off the board.

I have refreshed the football forum page pretty steady for the past 24 hours just to make that pick. Lol

Committed to the relationship?

It's here again ladies and gents! Auburn Football has returned to the practice fields in preparation for the 2018 season. It is once again time for some doting of each and every one of our man crushes. Last year in the inaugural thread we had some perform as affection rookies and others as amorist veterans. We can do better. Let the infatuation begin!

 

Here's the gist, this thread is for you to select a football player/coach that you will follow throughout the season, and HOPEFULLY, post something about your "Man Crush" as often as possible, touting stats and achievements, contributions. In other words, after a game, start some banter about your guy and support him relentlessly.

Man Crush Rules:

1. Man crush must be a member of the team or coaching staff 

2. You can only have 1 man crush

3. You must stick with your dude all season (unless he is kicked off team/academically ineligible/etc.). If your dude gets injured or temporarily suspended, you gotta stick by him through the tough times.

4. first come, first served.

5. You can't be crushing on someone else's man crush.

 

I'll get us started.

I'm crushing on TD Moultry.

 

Here's the official list:

• ValleyTiger - TD Moultry
• Maverick.AU - Shaun Shivers
• Auctoritas - Arryn Siposs
• bigbird - Smoke Monday
• abw0004 - Jeremiah Dinson
• djg0017 - Ryan Davis
• McLoofus - Deshaun Davis
• GwillMac6 - Jamel Dean
• WFE12 - Joey Gatewood
• AidiAU - Nate Craig-Myers
• auburnphan - JaTarvious "Boobie" Whitlow
• AUld fAUx@ - Eli Stove
• Barnacle - Bill Taylor
• NorthGATiger - Kam Martin
• AU80cruiser - Darrell Williams
• AUBwins - Jarrett Stidham
• WarEagleHunter1221 - Nick Coe
• WarEagle2423 - Chandler Cox
• api1957 - Montavious Atkinson

I would have said Gatewood, but I guess now my choice is our HR threat Darius Slayton.

I like older men...wait, what?

[api1957 1,783]

How are Marlon, DB, and Big Kat still on the board?

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

A young buck someone else might consider: Christian Tutt

One man gathers what another man spills.

Quietly one of the most important careers of the Gus era imo. And I expect him to have a huge season. 

[3rdgeneration 6,469]

I'll take Gus. That way, none of you dudes have to take him. That will leave you all free to trash him every week and not feel bad about it. C'mon, you know you will. And I won't. I'll stick by him at least one more year.

PLOT TWIST he throws a TD before Stidham. On a fake punt.

Forget that, with moves like this:. 

he will just run it in after plowing through a few Huskies along the way. 

Seriously though, check out this leg on the run

I was also toying with Gatewood, but he was picked right before I hopped on here. 

#fanclubforlife ... hopefully!

I went with Malik "the Masher" Miller last season. Gus once again forgot he was on the roster.

This season, I want McClain to bust out onto the scene, so I won't pick him.

Instead, I'm going with the nephew of greatness....Shedrick "Shake and Bake" Jackson. 

[AUsince72 11,084]

Alright, let's give this a try....

How 'bout, The Big Prince!

 

[WarEagle2423 357]

Noah was one I thought about picking. Think he is going to have a big year for us. And Javaris Davis, Asa, Sherwood. There are so many to choose from that are still on the board. The more I think about all the talent, the more I get excited for September 1st to get here. 

[johnnyAU 3,630]

I'm just waiting for someone to choose the Schwartz!
