Up until recently we have been a good hitting team. Now that the pitching has gotten at least reasonable the hitting has disappeared. Injuries to Irish and Pierce have something to do with that but still....

He wasn't my choice back before the primaries but he certainly is my choice now.

Forget Trump for a little while, look at his probable opponent and you'll understand why Trump is in the running. Trump is bad, Biden's worse.

1913/14 yes. These others just don't quite make it. We should have been in the '04 title game. What would have happened against USC is questionable. They ripped us pretty good in the '03 game in Auburn. 1983, we got jumped and that was bad but there's no denying that Miami got more votes. '93 we didn't play in a bowl game and who knows how that would have turned out.

Some posters here act like Nix was a flop at AU. In 2&1/2 seasons he set AU's all-time total offense record. A record that Stan White set as a four-year starter. Nix holds the AU record for consecutive passes without an interception. When he set that record, the mark he broke was his own. Yes, Nix holds the top TWO records in AU history for consecutive passes without an interception. Have many forgotten all of the key 1st downs and TD's he made running the ball? He was better at Oregon because of better coaching and a better supporting cast but he was very, very good at AU. As someone who watched several of his games at Oregon, I'm not at all surprised that Bo Nix went very high in the draft.

I firmly believe that any number of Wooden's teams would beat this year's U Conn, so we'll simply disagree.

Two excellent points!

That's a nice fat Timber Rattler. The ones on my farm must not eat as well as this dude.

Every year there are guys who don't get to another P5 program and wind up worse off than they were. West Georgia's NIL pool is not very deep.

The elite level athletes could always compete in modern times. To think that Walton, Abdul-jabbar, Wilkes and so forth wouldn't excel in today's game isn't clear thinking. During Coach Wooden's remarkable run he had all elite players.

I probably shouldn't post in this thread but here goes: I find the concept of a rational, benevolent, all-knowing, all-powerful being that loves us to be absurd. That concept simply doesn't reconcile with what humanity has had to endure through the millennia. So no, I don't believe in a Rapture.

I don't think that this year's U Conn team could beat Walton & Co., but that's impossible to prove.

Sad but true.

I didn't even have a drink at or after that game. Yet, the whole carload was so delirious with joy that we took two wrong turns on the way back to Auburn and didn't realize it until we passed Vulcan for the second time.

Another example of how badly the open transfer portal sucks. I'm reaching the "Who gives a damn" stage. Just wait until the season starts and root for whoever is wearing orange and blue. Recruiting, depth charts and so forth are now meaningless.
