Blame that one on Mason. I know Harsin is the head coach but Mason blew that one by not putting pressure on the QB.

You do realize you're talking about Auburn fans right. I've seen it all from both AU & bama fan bases. I remember overhearing a conversation between Fred Sington and some others about how they needed to get rid of the bear. This was in 1975 or so before he turned it around. Also some AU folks wanted to get rid of Dye after a few losses to bama and in particularly to Texas when we were ranked so high. Fans are very fickle and 99.9% of the time don't know diddly about what they are talking about. (And I count myself among this group).

I'll take Zeke Smith any day (for you old timers)!

A brand new staff from the west who had no opportunity to meet in person with recruits for almost a full year? Either at home in in Auburn! It cost us in relationships which is the key to recruiting.

Based on many of our "gloom and doomers" posts of what was to come, I give it an A+. But in reality a solid B. But in effort by the coaching staff under adverse circumstances, a solid A+.

Hope u feel better with this post. We just fired his old man after one year. The Bobo's move their entire family to AU and now will have to move again. Anyone in their right mind understands this move. And he's 18 or 19 years old. Thinks he can develop into a good O Lineman. And I for on, hope he does.

Cornelius Bennett.

Finley signed with Auburn after Harsin was hired. And Harsin did meet with him so he really is a Harsin recruit even though not recruited while in high school.

Wishful thinking also.

What a match they were!!!!!! How the hell did Lyle pull that off?

Nope. His heart was broken by Mario so he lands with AU in the end.

His heart is not with the University of Oregon. It was with Cristobal. And yes, Cristobal is that good of a recruiter.

Chizik had 2 very elite recruiters, Trooper and Luper, who would bend a few rules to get the kids they wanted. Not sure Harsin has folks like that on staff, but maybe he should if we are to compete.,

As Shug used to say, You're so right, Carl!

But can he make an on-side kick without tearing up his leg?
