I wonder if some deep-pocket company might sponsor a big "Losers Bowl" featuring Colorado and Auburn? Because both of these teams, built on 40-50+ portal leftovers, are not going to qualify for a legit bowl. But wouldn't it be a great marquee event? Maybe schedule it for a Tuesday morning in mid-December.

Where is my yellow thing?

 

 

I can just hear all of the “I told you so”s now. No matter who lost, social media would be unbearable for awhile. 

From zero to hero. At least fir a minute or two. 

Well it’s over guys. Auburn is traditionally terrible against backup QBs. 

How much more obvious could a hold be?

Crap

Ole Cole spoke about kiffen as well....it wasn't cool then though. But of course I'm no insider. I just have this terrific ability to guess right without being a member to any pay site! 

I will admit I know a bunch of former players and a few current but that doesn't mean anything on hear because I was told they don't know anything so.....

I feel you. At Thanksgiving my cousin was talking about how cool it would be to land Kiffin. I was like, “Kiffin is a mess that would just give us more headaches”. He was like, “Nah man”. Then I said, “Yeah man”. 

I still haven’t forgiven him for not believing me. If he gives me a cookie though, I might reconsider.

So you're content with what has been proven of him (the escort phone calls and illegal recruiting tactics)?

More likely they’re talking about the threads that were removed due to people accusing Freeze of rape and/or covering up for rapists. You might have missed those.

Why are replies starting with the word “So” usually followed by nothing that anybody was talking about?

Merry Christmas, everybody! WDE!

None of this would be happening if we had a border czar that actually cared about, you know, the border. 

This fake Christian nonsense is partisan clown work. Affects only low IQ individuals. Watch.  

IMO both sides are too worried about holding power and making each other look bad. They both benefit off of bad border security in their own way. Makes it almost impossible to get anything meaningful done. Kamala does seem pretty terrible at her job, but I honestly don’t think any appointed “border czar” would be improving things.

A*$holes doing this to other humans on Christmas Eve. I hope there’s a special place in Hell for false Christians who falsely evoke God’s name while practicing such cruelty. Greg Abbott & DeSantis— choice of phony Christians everywhere— top the list.

Did they find out who sent them?

Nope. I'll wait on THE accurate comparison of any first year HC...the results of their first FULL class. Mario at #4. You putting $$$ on Freeze matching #4 on NSD 2023? I didn't think so. I guess that doesn't fit your narrative.

To answer your childish question, I’m not putting money on anybody to end next year with a #4 recruiting class. And if you’re really waiting on accurate comparisons, then why are you on so many threads flaunting your Freeze Derangement Syndrome, instead of acknowledging that he’s doing a good job with recruiting? Maybe if you could show us your bet slip where you put money on Cristobal pulling in a top 5 recruiting class this year, I’d humbly eat my words. You won’t though. 🤡

What’s my narrative? I’m not the one making silly claims.

Yup am looking forward to see where Freeze's first full class finishes at on NSD 2023 as compared to Mario's NSD 2022. I'm betting it won't be Top 4.

Not saying Mario was the correct choice as I do believe he would eventually have left AU for Miami regardless.

Still, there was supposed confirmation we avoided him because of his poor record at Oregon down the stretch of 2021 losing his last 3 of 4 games...two of those to 10-win Utah, who was really freaking good at the end of 2021, taking Ohio St in the Rose Bowl to the wire.

At the same time, I suppose we're supposed to forget Freeze's horrific 3-game end to 2022 at Liberty. They weren't playing any 10-win teams down the stretch.

Mario had a rough year in 2022 with what was left him by the two previous staffs. Will take time, but he will turn them around by stringing together several Top 5-10 classes, something they haven't had in 20 years. In 2-3 years, he'll be giving Dabo a run for ACC crowns...until Dabo replaces Saban.

Wasn’t Cristobal hired last year with about the same amount of time to recruit as Freeze has had? And ended up in around the same spot? Only difference is that he didn’t have quite the hole to dig himself out of. If you’re going to compare things, that seems like a more accurate comparison. Doesn’t fit quite as well with your narrative though, I guess.

Was it a bad look the first 48 hours after his hire when 90% of this board bashed him for his past?

You sure about that 90%? Gonna need the link on that.

When they try to do this cap, players become “employees” with a soon to be CBA. They would finally get their share.

I don’t have a clue how any of it would work, but I’m glad that you have it all figured out.

Looks like to me , the same teams are at the top!! Where do you see leveling?

It’s only been one year. And it seems like more top-level guys are willing to enter the portal when things don’t work out for them. And to me, it seemed like some schools had more of a blind eye turned their way with improper benefits. Now that benefits are allowed, that isn’t so much of a factor. Of course recruits will still want to play for recent national champs/playoff contenders. Kind of silly to think that it would be an instant leveling off after only a year. 

I don’t think it’s ruining it. But they may have to start putting cap limits on teams, depending on how things all shake out over the next few years. To me, it seems like a more level playing field is in place now.

Great! Love recruits and this is (one of many) team positions needing re-enforcements.

Waiting for the 5 star flips because ....... CHF. Everyone saying CHF is magic.

 

Nobody is saying this. He’s done a solid job in the last few weeks, that is all. Why is the antifreeze crowd so intent on exaggerating?

With Bama currently having the #1 recruiting class, the downswing thing seems a bit optimistic to me. And with uga at #2 and lsu at #5 - with virtually no 3*s  in their entire class - it’s going to be interesting going forward.

Yes, the word “hopefully” implies optimism. It also seems optimistic to me.    We’ll see in the next few years, but if this little improvement can be made in just a few weeks, then I don’t have too many issues with being optimistic. What’s the worst that can happen? More disappointment? 

You seem determined to stay in disappointment mode, even when obvious improvements are being made. Seems a bit pessimistic.

Things had to get better. This year is about tireless staff effort and massive meet-and-greets. So currently - if we announce a 3* commit, we’re ecstatic. Year 1: recovering from Harsin Year 2-whatever: recovering from late stages of Gus. The inability to recruit and compete with our rivals (uga, bama, lsu)

I can only speak for myself, but the only 3* that I turn my head for these days are O-linemen. I do get slightly pumped up about flipping 4* recruits though. That will always be fun for most Auburn fans. Hopefully bama really is in the downswing, and in the next couple of years, we can start to have comparable recruiting classes. 🤞🏼

Premature thread.

You don’t think recruiting has gotten noticeably better?
