This is new to me but, I'm trying to see a silver lining here....I think it could work out with a proven winner of a HC. Work in contractual details regarding clear delineation of authority and how "his" program is run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History indicates there are those who simply can’t keep their nose out of our football program regardless of what a contract may have in it.

Problem is that it is very well known that the contractual details and authority have and always will be based on the authority of how the "power players" program is run in regards to Auburn. My understanding it is a major reason why we ended up with Chizik instead of Patterson. All this fiasco has done is to support that view of our program and its boosters.

Has he already quit? Green has a boss who is handling the Gus situation along with Raymond both of whom put us in this dumb ass crap situation with Gus. I can tell you Allen is no fan of Gus would fired him on Sunday if he could but his boss says no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it hopefully shone the light, even national, on a dark corner that needed expunging? #rockbottom #nowheretogobutup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports Illustrated had their take just this afternoon. It made me sad to be so accurately nailed. This may the first time the PTB have been in the national spotlight for financial foolishness AND beyond. Jetgate was horrendous, but the 24/7 news cycle, the gross amount of $$ thrown at college football now (and our huge piece of that pie), and the unfolding of the events of this week...beyond comprehensible. Maybe the PTB will be embarrassed enough now to deal right, deal straight, or deal out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if it was ESPN or SI, but they hit Lowder really hard along with the rest of the administration/bots before. Think it was during Tuberville's last season.

ToraGirl 5,498 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 This absolutely, positively did not help. It to me played its part in "pride goeth." Someone can post the stats following the date of its installation. I just remember thinking, "I HATE this performance being that hugely broadcast..." February 06, 2015 "When the installation is complete, Auburn will have the largest video board in all of college football. The video board will cost $3.5 million, with the total cost of the project expected to be $13.9 million..." https://www.si.com/college-football/2015/02/06/auburn-jumbotron-jordan-hare-stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some oceanfront property in Arizona that the rest of the nation can't wait for them to buy. I teach second grade. Imagine me trying to explain the role of Harriet Beecher Stowe's groundbreaking book in awakening the American public at large to the evils of slavery. One of my littles dressed as the courageous author in our Vocabulary Parade in October (laughing as AUFamily gets a look at my world). When awareness became national, the 1800's power brokers' world changed...as it well needed to. Let it be so again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creed 1,635 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 You can only be trolled if you have the easily trolled gene 😁. Most real southern man don't have the gene because we don't believe what we hear and only half of what we see. Our older posters will understand this post.
