That was like 40 years ago (although it seems like yesterday). A lot of things have probably changed since then. My daughter went off to college with the attitude that her gymnastics scholarship was a means to get a good education at no cost to her or the family. I'm not sure if that attitude prevails on the football side of things. Not dumb at all. I was there in the early 80s myself. There were some quality student athletes there then. Good players and people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got pros picking out your classes and professors and you've got on demand tutoring. And, I'm assuming that now a days, you can do several online classes and I can't even imagine the vast number of ways there exist to scam that system.

ToomersStreet 795 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Boobie has failed to hit 1000 yards rushing due poor o-line play. With poor o-line depth going forward and losing four starters i think Boobie is going to seek out a solid line to block for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attended class with plenty athletes at AU who were extremely sharp. I’m talking about guys who are barely qualifying out of high school then graduating from a 4 year school (not just Auburn) in 2.5 or 3 years. While playing a sport that easily demands 20-30 hours a week of your time. At Auburn, athletes have priority in getting the first window to book their classes. After this it goes by honors college and then priority with the number of hours you have already. So, they can get every class they want or need at the schedule they need. Nothing wrong with that, and I was always okay with it as a student. During the semester they have the options of tutors but so did every other student as well. You just needed to book them at the library. It was free. Lastly, Auburn hired other students to be class checkers to make sure Auburn players attended classes. They were only allowed to miss three classes and were very stern on it. I know this because the girl I dated at Auburn was a checker and that is how she got through school. She absolutely could not lie on that form. I would venture out to say Auburn is in the top tier of schools that take their education seriously. Just in case you wanted to know!

Okay, I guess my definition of starter was in contention with the earlier poster. I suppose Boobie didn't literally start games out, but people (most) didn't use that argument to consider Kam Martin the starter during the previous season. My definition of starter is basically the lead back, and that title was never up to debate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was Boobee not playing in the 1st half of games that has distorted my memory.

Very encouraging. Not only that DJ was already making that move, but that we had 2 backs with such a similar number of carries over a 5-game stretch.

I thought that was by design, but could be wrong. Let the other backs soften up the defense in the first half then let the wrecking ball Boobie attack a tired defense in the 2nd half.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Since Boobee was AU's leading rusher the last few years, I wonder what the real reason why he choice to transfer after having some really great years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
