Bo Nix Mom’s and Sister’s IG Post

[RunInRed 16,360]

The line that got me … “I’ve seen what it takes for you to selflessly love Auburn … even when Auburn didn’t love you back.”

Whatever you think about his time on the Plains, performance as a QB, and ultimate decision to leave, Bo is an Auburn man and I respect him.  And I am thankful he chose to be an Auburn Tiger.

If the point is to tell your brother you love him and are proud of him, do it face to face.  It means more.   If that isn't the point, I'm not sure why you publicly do this.

Well, partially, I think it’s a response to all of the criticism not only recently but through the years.  I guess we can debate about whether she should’ve said something or kept her mouth shut but I personally don’t have a problem with her post.

It's the holiday season...I'm trying real hard on this one

It is what it is. If he did feel that added pressure and it effected his performance it is best for him and Auburn that he left. Hope he does well at Oregon he is a talented guy.

His mom posted about a week ago.  Her line that struck me …

”Now, it’s time for Bo to love himself more than Auburn.”

[SRBautigerfan 1,040]

One thing is for sure Bo Nix will go down as one of the more polarizing figures in Auburn history.  Thrust into the spotlight way too early and saddled with perhaps too high of expectations as a 5* legacy recruit.  I'll always appreciate the effort he gave, much like all the other players giving the same exact type of effort that are still here on the team.

"Most QBs in Bo's situation would choose a school where he would have the best opportunity for individual achievement and success. But Bo chose Auburn."

Hahaha that was absolutely savage and I respect that part but the rest of this crap is soooooo cringe and I am so happy to be moving on.

[alexava 6,973]

I was a Bo fan and still am. I’m glad he’s moving on. Through no fault of his own, his presence was divisive. I hope someone else steps up and and out- performs his play. I’m not confident that will happen next season. 

[Tiger Refuge 6,660]

Time to move on. Good luck at Oregon.

[Mcbowen327 63]

Despite how he handled his transfer Bo will always be one of my personal favorites at Auburn. Not because of who he was on the field, rather because I know he is deep down an Auburn man. Glad he got to see out his dream. I couldn't imagine making a decision like his given my feelings for Auburn. I hope he succeeds in the future!

I would delete this quickly before it gets ugly. His family is only fueling the fire and making it worse on themselves with all of these social media posts with the not so subtle shots. Of course they're proud of their son, as they should be, but social media can get quite ugly when there's a departure on bad terms like this case.

[twilli13 600]

So where is his mom suggesting he should gone over AU? Probably not an inaccurate statement by her based on Gus's track record with QB development up to the time he committed to AU. Just curious

Yeah I agree. I get what I think they are trying to do, which I dont think is malicious because they are AU folks, but comments like that one seem like direct shots at AU and folks will respond as such. 

[AidiAU 1,270]

I was a Bo fan (and still am), but did not love the posts from his family. It is cringeworthy, especially with some of the “behind the scenes” stories coming out.  
 

However, I would also have an extremely hard time watching my family member be scrutinized all the time playing a sport they loved for a school they adored so I’d probably be a bit momma bear, too. 
 

Wishing them all success for whatever the future holds.

Sad way to end things for a kid growing up idolizing AU. I hope it doesnt come to that. 

[JMassie11 1,610]

May be unpopular but I could see it with Bo after his freshman year. He caught a lot of crap from fans both deserving and underserved. His success in Oregon will solely depend on his mental toughness on and off the field. At Auburn the desire to be a legacy devoured him on and off the field.

I LOVE the Drunk Aubie handle on Twitter so I can get behind a Drunk Coach one, too. 😂

I can appreciate all the support from his family, but I kind of feel like they are drumming up a narrative that isn't necessarily true. They act like AU fans hate Bo when IMO the majority loved Bo and wanted nothing more than for him to succeed at AU.

I think they are letting a few keyboard warriors imprint a narrative in their minds. They need to just move on before further damage is done IMO.

They probably need to stay off the internet.

Just keep personal issues OFF public platforms and well, keep it personal.

This. Literally had folks begging him to stay and "apologizing" so that he'd come back. I think this all stems from the Georgia State incident with him being booed off the field by the students. I sympathize with them there, but I'm sure we're not the first or last stadium to boo. Right or wrong, part of high level football

You mean like all the bashing Bo has got from posters here? I for one appreciate his family's comments and thank RIR for sharing them here.
