CHF may start pulling people from the stands to put in the game.

My ‘ifs and buts’: if we don’t fumble like we did last night then we win big.  When JH and DA fumbled, we were starting to build momentum.  Maybe our team chemistry still incubating and having to play as late as we did affected our focus

It’s a difference of two time zones, not three. 

I stand corrected.  Thank you, @Viper.

Is this game in Alaska?

@Viper, I counted Central, Mountain, and Pacific

27-17 Cal.  My score prediction isn't going to be popular but we travel across the three time zones with a new team.  Their HC is a defensive minded coach and our offense is still trying to figure stuff out.  UMass' running backs gashed our defense.

A name that I've been looking for to stand out is Woodyard.  He came in as a 4* linebacker (that we flipped from Bama).  I'm surprised that he's not making noise.

My interpretation was that his point was in reference to the other coaches not getting on the players hard enough.  After he saw this, he realized that he needed to do it until his coaches step up.  I like that he's holding everyone accountable; players, coaches, and himself.

I'm not sure if we're allowed to bump threads but here goes. 

I'm a cheap scrooge type and there's no buyers remorse for me.

As a coach, sell me on Freeze. my big questions: 
1) can he still recruit? Does anyone know who he is anymore?
2) does he call his own plays?

3) do other coaches like to work with him? 
 

1) with the right money?  Yes

2) hopefully not.  We would prefer someone that coaches coaches

3) the real question is will coaches work for him and thrive.  This question goes for the players as well 

I still feel pretty passionate about the lack of personal seating space.  This is the main reason I gave up my section 8 seats.  I had no leg room nor elbow room.  We have to commit to improving the fan experience first.

I’m a fan.  He’s a smart and competitive man.  He’ll hire the coaches he needs to be successful.

This guy’s a good AD.  Our problem (as a fan base) is that we’ve been abused so many times that we’re leery of the next abuser.

If theres one thing i know it is that no matter whom the ad at auburn is, he will be met with immediate disapproval and distain. They could hire jesus christ himself and people would say it is terrible. Perhaps thats a bad analogy but still..

Yeah, I don't think ADJC would be a good fit.  He's all about love and forgiveness and that mushy stuff.  It's not a good look for a football game to have guys turning the other cheek.

I keep hoping to see the news of a coaching change come across the ESPN ticker or for it show up on this forum when I “refresh”.  Maybe when I wake up in the morning.

  TJ looked fundamentally more sound last night.  As a team, the offense looked uninspired.  The defensive line looked really good.  Tackling looked really good, too.

  Overall, I was disappointed with our team’s showing.  Projecting the success of the team (W/L) going forward, based on last night, isn’t promising but I’m still optimistic. 

I saw the same things most everyone has said.  It looked, to me, like TJ was throwing off of his back foot instead of stepping into his passes and 86 was having a hard time with his blocking assignments early in the game.

I just watched The War Rapport video with Koy Moore.  I’m ready for Auburn football again!

Since college football has now evolved into a sport where the teams with the most money get the best players, maybe AU hiring a General Manager is a good thing. Could it be that we are the trend setters here? Maybe in three years all the cool kid schools will have a GM and college football will be nothing but a developmental league for the NFL.

Mikey, you're definitely on to something here.  I think there's something more to this, too.  I believe our NIL guys want some "assurances" that the players CBH wants to bring in are worth the investment.  We (they) have hired a professional to evaluate the investment.  It's our programs forward thinking for the new business model.
