Bo Over the 35-Step Drop?

I'm having fun watching everyone go after who they hate while trying to protect their favorite. We are ineffective EVERYWHERE. Nobody is playing well

I'm not even sure there are a lot of favorites though... Mason was the only hire that excited me and he is looking rough. No one was excited for Bobo etc.

Link?

He said it in one of his interviews a few weeks back

Really do you have the vaccination numbers? Doubtful. We know what we know. We were LOWEST in the conference. If you have information that shows the holdouts became vaccinated please present it

It was 60% in June and Harsin said more and more players were getting the shot every week over the past few months. Do the math. Also we haven't had any more people held out than other teams lately so that's not the issue. It was much ado about nothing

Did all these guys get hurt in practice this week or something? Wtf

Walker got hurt vs Ga St

If multiple players are out due to covid then it absolutely falls on Harsin's decision not to push vaccination. Real coaches like Saban Kiffin and Smart knew the importance of vaccination for their program. Our coach was too busy perusing Qanon websites apparently. 

Hey June called.... The overwhelming majority of the team and staff have gotten the shot. This is an outdated bad take.

What about Moultry and Pappoe you jackass?

Pappoe has been hurt, so that just leaves TD and it could be anything. Most of the team and staff are vaccinated so it's just dumb to keep harping on that at every possible turn. He could be vaxxed and still have covid, if that's even the issue. 

17 minutes ago, McLoofus said:

Why are you all so perplexed and surprised? A ton of players aren't vaccinated. Just assume they're in protocol and get behind their replacements.

Walker has an injured shoulder you doofus. Pappoe has a nagging injury as well.

Surely he would have noticed all week if the shoulder was hurt.

They didn't seem to notice last week... He's been hurt since the beginning drive at Penn St.

Maybe getting benched lit a fire under Bo and he’s a different QB tonight. We will see 

Wouldn't matter if his shoulder is also injured, as I suspect it is. They need to just roll with TJ this week and then figure out the rest of the season from there

Maybe Mason could start Sarah Fuller at DE to improve our pass rush

Where was this reported, or was it on camera, or is it pure speculation? Asking for a friend.

It's what I'm hearing as well. So in addition to underperforming (like many of our coaches thus far), it appears that Corn also doubled down by showing up his boss in front of the troops. That will get you fired pretty much 10 out of 10 times in any job where you haven't established yourself yet. That's why it was him and not Friend or someone else. Plus having plays where the WRs didn't even know they were supposed to be on the field etc. 

Edit - I'm not trying to spin this as a positive. It's not a good look for Harsin to have to fire someone he just hired, and the timing isn't great for recruiting either. 

I want to see food trucks - Do they still set up outside the stadium? It's been a couple of years since I made it to a game. That soul food truck used to have terrific catfish (it was from somewhere over near Valley I think?).

I had 22 tickets to the Alabama State game in the lower bowl and couldn’t give away 8 of them as I circled the stadium before going in. I think we need better opponents to sell the place out. 

I used to fuss about these games, but now I have to admit it's nice to have a cheap game to take the kids to. All those hot dogs and cotton candies start to add up... Plus I can leave at halftime. 

I know it would never happen, but I would favor just cutting one game out of the schedule and going back to 11 for the regular season. Take off one meaningless non-conference game and give the players an extra off-week to heal up.

I can't believe people watched that game and thought our secondary was the issue. Worst pass rush I've ever seen Auburn field. 

Jeff Holland was the last AU player who could consistently hit QBs. Four years ago. It's hard to fathom. 

On the other hand, I wouldn't really know if anyone on this roster could get home since we dropped 7-8 on every pass play. I think Mason deserves a bit more heat than he's getting for that game plan.

Kessler and Cardwell probably can't play at the same time, I'm skeptical either should routinely guard SEC-level fours. I strongly suspect DC will get the start at the three. With this loss we are basically down to 3 options for creating shots for other guys from the perimeter. 

Cambridge is so streaky from outside. As Rigby said, I'd like to at least see what Moore can do from the 3. I haven't really seen him play enough to know if he's a viable option there.

It’s always something man 

Seriously. You always know the shot to the credentials is coming, you just don't know exactly when. 

Thinking ahead: Can Jabari play the 3, with Kessler at 4 and Dylan/Jaylin at 5? I love Cambridge, but I think he is better off the bench.

We arent giving this defense and derek mason enough credit. Which is exactly what he wants im sure. But that D plus a strong ground game will lower the amount of possessions and shorten the game. Idk how many wins its worth but  it keeps it close enough to win a lot

My (unpopular) prediction is that the defensive front is still too soft, and teams will run it up the middle on us. When we had Truesdell coming back, folks on here were downplaying Fair as an overweight rotational guy who couldn't even start at UAB. Now, suddenly I'm supposed to believe he is ready to anchor a defensive front that will dominate the SEC? Along with Pegues, who hasn't played a single down on defense. Seems like a bit of a reach.

Sorry, I hope I am wrong and you can throw this back in my face in a couple of months. But I think the new scheme coupled with the personnel we have will need another year to flourish.

remember the old sears building? my mom took me in there when i was a toddler. she kept hearing laughter and i was no where to be seen. it seems they had a bathroom display and i jumped up there and used in front of a ton of folks. true story.

Ha! Was that downtown Opelika? My grandmother worked at Gayfer's for many years, in downtown and then when it moved out to the mall.

hey sani you ever miss their foot long chili dogs? we ate there a lot and i was busted with my cousin for pulling used gum from under the table and chewing it. my mom said when she caught me i had a mouthful......................

I was still a kid in the 80s so I probably only got ice cream at the original location. I was too picky for chili dogs back then, I only ate them plain (or "naked" as the Varsity would say). By the time I got to AU in 97, they had moved it out to that dumpy laundromat building on Dean and it wasn't anything special as I recall.

New regime, new rules.

Maybe my biggest frustration (out of many) with Gus was his refusal to throw a ball FORWARD into the end zone. Once we crossed inside the 20, it was all runs, sweeps, reverses and screens. I think a lot of it didn't work in the red zone just simply due to having 11 defenders so close to the line.

taking turns throwing passes to the end zone while receivers ran corner routes.

Wait, you mean this is legal?

Well to be fair, Big Cat was a master of getting to the QB... two seconds after they completed a pass
