Do you think we’d be in the Final Four right now if we’d only had bama’s path to get there?
Not with Bruce continuing his NCAA choking.

Bruce put AU basketball on the map. Bruce has been very good for AU. No question. All of that said does not mean that he doesn’t deserve some criticism. For example, while I will not name names, but our guard play for several years has not been good. We have not had any alpha dog guards.

The difficulty of establishing salary caps in CFB would be much more complicated IMO. NFL model is based off of a calculation of some profit margin if I am not mistaken. My Lol was intended to try to show my comment was not combatant or argumentative. Nothing else was intended. Sorry, probably was not a good fit.
Good deal. With respect to the possibility of Congress coming up with an improved plan to deal with this mess, I have zero hope for such. There are some smart folks in Congress, but both sides of the aisle working together just won’t happen.

All unions do not have salary caps!! That would be on the table during negotiations. Lol
Of course. The NFL model has been reasonably successful and, IMO has to be used in the collegiate world.
BTW, what are you referencing by your lol?

The only way to regulate this is to make the athletes employees of the university and sign a 1-2 year contract.
And unionize, with collective bargaining agreements, and salary caps.

I love college sports, but the goose that lays the golden eggs CAN be killed.
I think that golden goose is already being killed. Other than revenue sharing, the only other way that the huge NIL dollars being paid to athletes will continue to come is from the Daddy Warbucks, and that is going to dissipate without stellar results on the field or court.

I don’t believe that Bruce would publicly go on record that he would be interested in a different job. That said, if he did do that, I suspect he is trying to get iron clad assurances that Steven would be named the head coach after Bruce steps down.
This head coach in waiting scenario is complete nonsense. This reminds me of Gene Bartow holding UAB hostage, so to speak, to have his son, Murry, named head coach after Gene retired. That didn’t work out well.
I am extremely grateful for having Bruce as the head coach. But Steven needs to prove himself outside of just being Bruce’s son.

I have been anticipating this one.
It’s already clear that it is an award winning series.

Watched two episodes so far. It’s very good!
It is now going to a mind twisting stage. I will add that one can always count on Noomi Rapace to give a stellar performance.

Watched 3 episodes so far. It’s outstanding!

We are in a mess that could have been avoided if both sides would have stepped back and realized these two guys are not what we need to take America forward.
With that statement, we do have something in common!

I hope your surgery was successful and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Thanks. It appears everything went well, but it will be about a month before we can tell, for sure.

This is not Dee Ford. We have ANOTHER British Auburn fan - Paul Mortimer from Westhoughton. Read the OP. It's a great story!!!
Thanks for the info. I have an excuse for being a knucklehead. Was laying in a surgery prep bed for eye surgery. Foggy brain.

Voted twice
As of 8:36 PM CST Battie has 68% of the votes and a lead of 6,871 votes. Don’t let this lead evaporate. KEEP VOTING!

I want to see an Auburn team that is turning around and visibly getting back to playing SEC football…AND no more clown show offense. I also want to see Freeze talking the talk AND walking the walk. Enough of the nonsense of not kicking some butts during the game…

Prime is cashing in because he is extremely marketable. Simple as that. Moreover, he knows how to market himself. Just ask what Aflac thinks about him.

He was an extremely nice person. I talked with Mike at the Apple Store in Bham and met his wife. Top flight foks. It appears he died from Alzheimer’s.
