Uhhh. This discussion is about MLB. Nobody said anything about dumping anyone or staying with a company.

But you. 

The headline is obviously in reference to auburn choosing nike. “Nike uniform lovers”

According to an ESPN report Sunday by Jeff Passan, blame for the debacle has been leveled at supplier Nike.

 

Player complaints about see-through pants that allow undergarments and body parts to be visible beneath the garb, manufactured by Fanatics, will also be addressed.

The outlet cited a memo sent to players by the Major League Baseball Players Association that detailed the planned changes will include larger letters on the backs of the jerseys, fixing mismatched gray tops and bottoms and addressing Nike jerseys’ tendency to collect sweat.

Yeah, definitely shouldve stuck with the company that has 6 other schools, paid the university in worthless stock and makes shoes so bad players taped up nikes to wear until they were forced to use UA.

Come on man. The o line is fine , the be room is fine and the WRs are fine. All of these groups are more than capable. 

Thorne has been given everything a QB could ask for to be successful. No excuses this year.

Did I see where Javarious Johnson still hasn’t found a home? How’s that possible? Could he come back?

No spot with the group now on the roster.

I'm not only impressed that we landed this guy, but I've been very impressed with how Freeze has handled the portal this go around. Looks like he actually made adjustments

I think the GM/Personnel hires have made a huge difference in the portal recruiting compared to last year.

Do we have a chance with Philon?

Lot of Bama talk on him

Sounds like theres buzz that AU may land NT Isaiah Zaikes from USC. That would be anither nice addition for the DL.

Jaden Rashada is reportedly visiting. Georgia has been considered the favorite, but it seems like they have so many QBs already. Could we pony up the NIL here if we want to? Would we want to?

Good question. I wonder how the pursuit of juju lewis affects the budget for QB across the board? Hes going to command a huge price but I hope we can finally land a QB who makes the other players better instead of one who has to have other players lift him.

Maybe that explains why he can't shoot. I couldn't shoot worth a damn stoned myself.

I really need to hear fifty’s take on this topic

Don't routinely show up high to practice and you may play more

He was given every opportunity, pissed it away and now wants to play the victim. Good riddance

I think we’re closer to the bottom of the conference than the top in QB play. Hoped for a transfer this spring to come in and start, didnt happen. Now hoping that Brown can give us average or better QB play if called upon, which probably wont be too far into the season. Thorne was just bad last year and getting better players to throw to wont make a bad QB good.

Wow what a letdown for UK fans. Calipari must be laughing his ass off

I expect Henderson to Penn State and Husan to Texas A&M

Will need to reshuffle the deck at QB and RB

The AU ON3 guys say Auburn coaches are convinced theyll land one of Longstreet, JuJu Lewis or KJ Lacey. We shall see.

I really want him here.  I think He's gonna be really good.

The on3 guys say Winters and Fegans are two guys AU wont let get away. Hope thats the case, 2 really top end players.

I know the games arent exactly the same but with the way RB has been devalued by the pros, do college teams follow that pattern and decide to spend bigger money on other positions? And Henderson has had at least 5 teams supposedly leading the past year, Id say this is the preliminary commitment.

Players have hated UA shoes since the beginning.  I know a lot of them taped their nikes in the beginning so the logo wouldnt show, but I think they finally had to stop. Im sure there are alot of happy players tonight, I only wish a settlement couldve been reached on the final UA season so we could use nike this fall.

Pretty sad when the greatest HC in a schools history has to call out his own fanbase for nonstop whining after a great season that ended in dissapointment.  Going to be a rude awakening for some folks when Bruce is gone.

I hate it for the girls that were here during his reign. A chance to correct a big mistake.

Maybe AU needs time to dump garbage UA stock before going public. 😅

Those stock papers are worth nothing but a bonfire at this point. Good riddance to UA, thanks for NOTHING

Tate said on todays podcast that Nikes a done deal. UA deal runs thru summer of 25 so not clear on announcement

I know losing him sucked but…we’re still in the top 10 on 247 and just outside it on On3, and in the top 10 in average ratings of both. I really don’t see the cause of panic here?

OK, now I’m concerned.

Michael Jordan (I like him) is obviously one of the greatest players of all time but I don’t want another school hero’s silhouette on any AUBURN apparel. Bo Jackson ? Yes ! Can Newton? Maybe ? Charles Barkley ? Yes for basketball. Jordan ? No way in hell. We have a brand to protect. Every time I see Jordan’s image on FL & Michigan FB jerseys I just think ….wow …..they sold out. Stay true to our Auburn brand and our images. 

 

 

None of those players you mentioned have a line with their logo and Nike sure isnt making one just for us. Its not selling out to go with the brand the overwhelming majority of top schools are already using rather than an amateur hour company like UA. AU has not benefitted in any way from a long partnership with UA and Ill be glad to see them hit the road.

And this is what a coach that cares about his players and their families looks like. Thanks for all the posts Gwill, great stuff.

In theory it’s a slippery slope. Team could get hot and carry it into the post season. Especially if u get Aden on track. Auburn rotates more than most so they should be ok

Thats the flip side for sure
