al.com Auburn names former Texas A&M assistant coach Jordan Szabo head women’s tennis coach Published: May. 03, 2024, 5:48 p.m. 3–4 minutes Adeline Flach during the match between the Texas A&M Aggies and the Auburn Tigers at Yarbrough Tennis Center in Auburn, AL on Sunday, Mar 26, 2023. Jamie Holt/Auburn TigersJamie Holt/Auburn Tigers Former Texas A&M tennis player and assistant women’s tennis coach Jordan Szabo has been named Auburn’s head women’s tennis coach, the university announced Friday. The hiring of Szabo comes months following the abrupt dismissal of former Auburn head coach Caroline Lilley, who was fired on Jan. 28. During the last two seasons as the associate head coach of Texas A&M’s women’s tennis team, Szabo has helped the Aggies clinch three consecutive Southeastern Conference regular season championships, four straight appearances in the conference tournament finals and a pair of trips to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament. “Jordan is an outstanding evaluator/recruiter, has been a direct part of championships, and cares deeply about the development of student-athletes both on and off the tennis court,” Cohen said in a release. “We are extremely excited to have Jordan and his wife Grace join the Auburn family.” After having played a successful career on Texas A&M’s men’s team from 2012-15, Szabo immediately took to the coaching ranks at his alma mater, first as a student-assistant for the men’s tennis team, followed by a brief stint as an assistant at Texas Tech. Come the 2017-18 season, Szabo returned to Texas A&M, this time as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the women’s team in College Station, where he has spent every year since — five as an assistant coach and two as the program’s associate head coach. In that seven-year span, Szabo has been named the ITA National Assistant Coach of the Year twice. A native of Bayswater, Victoria, Australia, Szabo finished his youth tennis career ranked as on of the top-five players in Australia before taking his talents to Texas A&M, where he tallied 82 singles match victories and 72 doubles match victories across his college career. Szabo is set to take the reins of an Auburn program that’s currently ranked No. 17 in the country by ITA and is competing in the opening rounds of the NCAA Championships this weekend. “I am so excited to be the head women’s tennis coach at Auburn,” Szabo said in a release. “I will give my all to Auburn and the women’s tennis program and be relentless in my dedication to helping the student-athletes develop and elevating the program further with the goal of winning championships.” If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.

si.com Auburn Coach Visits Elite EDGE Recruit Zac Blackerby 2–3 minutes The Auburn Tigers coaching staff has been getting after it on the recruiting trail. In this story: There's a reason Auburn football recruiting has been trending up since Hugh Freeze arrived. The Auburn coaching staff loves to recruit and they see the value and importance of it as they look to rebuild the Auburn football program. The coaching staff has been on the road and looking to build relationships with players and coaches throughout the state. Mae Jemison High School Football's account on X posted a photo of Auburn's EDGE coach Josh Aldridge visiting the school. Mae Jemison is the home of elite EDGE target Hezekiah Harris. Auburn has received predictions over the past few weeks to land the services of the 2026 star pass rusher and EDGE defender. Harris is listed at 6-foot-4, 210 pounds and could get bigger before his high school career wraps up. It seems like Auburn holds the lead for Harris. According to On3's Recruiting Prediction Machine, Auburn has a 92.3% chance of landing Harris. They give Alabama a 5.1% chance and Mississippi State a 2.1% shot at landing the talented EDGE defender. Auburn's 2026 class has already started to form. Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers have two players committed in the class. Kail Ellis and Denairius Gray. Here's a brief bio on Ellis from Auburn Daily's Brian Smith: "Ellis plays center with the quickness and physical nature that will translate to the SEC. Powerfully built in the upper body, his explosiveness often overwhelms a defensive lineman before the opponent counters." Here's a brief bio on Gray from Smith: "Gray plays for one of the nation's most prominent prep programs. To that point, despite playing with 2024 Miami wide receiver signee Joshisa Trader and 2024 Ohio State wide receiver signee Jeremiah Smith, Gray's two-year statistics include 81 receptions, 1,124 yards, and 25 touchdowns (Max Preps). There are several reasons he's putting up big numbers."

247sports.com Irish expected back this weekend for Auburn baseball Jason Caldwell 4–5 minutes Auburn could get sophomore Ike Irish back this weekend. AUBURN, Alabama—With nine games left in the SEC regular season, the Auburn Tigers (21-22, 3-18) have their backs against the wall with the Ole Miss Rebels (23-21, 7-14) coming to town this weekend, but there is some good news for coach Butch Thompson's club. Struggling at the plate the last few weeks because with injuries to Ike Irish, Bobby Peirce and Mason Maners dealing the offense a big blow, Auburn will get Irish back this weekend against the Rebels and it's a huge deal, said freshman catcher Cale Stricklin. "Ike, obviously, is a special player," Stricklin said. "He means a lot to this program. Him being back is such a big role for our team. Yesterday in his live AB's in his first three at-bats he hit two home runs and a single. He's a spark plug for our team. We're playing good baseball going back to the last game against LSU. He's really going to help our team and we're going to get going." Dealing with a hand injury prior to injuring his ankle against Mississippi State two weeks ago, Irish is still second on the team with a .326 average, 11 home runs and 48 runs batted in. That's the case despite some struggles while playing through his hand injury. He's just 1-17 in his last six SEC games, but Thompson said he sees more of the old Ike Irish since his return from the ankle injury. "With it being finals week, we had a 5-inning intra squad to get the pitchers some work and to get some at-bats," Thompson said. "We wanted to get Peirce and Irish some at-bats. They both participated. 100 percent that Irish would be in there. It could be from a DH standpoint. His most recent challenge was the ankle, but he's running well and swinging the bat well. "I think he's even swinging it better than he did with his hand. I think with more distance there from the hand injury, he's good. It's just what he can do running around the ballpark on his ankle." With Irish expected back, Auburn could also see Maners back in the lineup after getting the start in game three at LSU. While Peirce could still be limited with his hand injury still impacting his swing, Auburn's offense could get a big boost heading into the weekend against the Rebels. The three-game series against Ole Miss will begin at 6 p.m. on Friday. Game times for the weekend are 7 p.m. on Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday. Saturday's game can be seen on SEC Network.

al.com Auburn’s pitching is getting better. But now the lineup is struggling. Published: May. 03, 2024, 6:33 a.m. 6–7 minutes Auburn can’t get everything to go right together. In what has been one of the worst runs through SEC play in Auburn baseball history with a 3-18 conference record and nine league games to play, the pitching was the problem, especially during the first half of the conference slate. At one point, Auburn had a team ERA in SEC games above nine, worst in the league by more than a full run. It was pitching that head coach Butch Thompson deemed not “competitive” and forced Auburn’s offense to just try to keep up in order to have a chance to win. That was the story as Auburn lost five straight series to begin SEC play. Ahead of playing Mississippi State in April, Thompson expressed that it was the beginning of Auburn’s postseason. It had to start playing like it was the postseason then in order to have a chance at making the actual postseason. And Auburn’s pitching was actually much better. Auburn has pitched to a team ERA of 3.95 over the last two weeks. “We went from non-competitive to competitive,” Thompson said Thursday. “We’re still getting heart broke a little bit but maybe that’s a step you gotta make to get on the right side of things.” But Auburn still didn’t win. Why? As soon as the pitching improved, the offense quickly faded off. “We just haven’t met at the same time,” Thompson said. Below is Auburn’s cumulative batting average progression over the course of the 2024 season. It has been a progressive drop since April 5, when Auburn was .288 after the first game of a series against Tennessee. The team’s cumulative batting average dropped by about .020 during that time. That number appears small, but this late into the season, to cause a drop by tenths of a point and not hundredths of a point is significant, and takes a sustained stretch of quite poor production. And that shows over Auburn’s last 10 games. The chart below displays Auburn’s batting average as a team in each individual game over its last 10 contests. As a team, Auburn has hit below. 250 in six of the last 10 games. Four of those have been below .200. Three of those have been .100 or worse. Over a stretch of four SEC consecutive games — the final two games of Auburn’s series against Mississippi State and the first two games of Auburn’s series against LSU where Auburn lost all four — Auburn as a team went 11-for-110. That’s a .100 batting average as a team for a total of four games. Some of the issues could be due to injury. During those 10 games, Auburn has not had Ike Irish, Bobby Peirce and Mason Maners all available the same time because of various ailments. Some of that could be due to inexperience in the lineup during the crucible of the nation’s most difficult college baseball league, Thompson said. “We had a starting lineup Saturday, not to make excuses, just protection for the guys now that we’ve taken on some of these injuries,” Thompson said. “These aren’t just guys. These are three everyday pieces for us, or expected to be everyday pieces and were everyday pieces. We had five guys in the lineup with less than 10 RBIs. Six guys with less than 100 at-bats for the entire season. It’s like when we get one thing going, we’ve had a challenge here. And when the challenge gets better here then we’ve created a new challenge.” That, Thompson said, is why Auburn has still failed to win a single SEC series. Irish is Auburn’s best player. Thompson expects him back in some capacity for this weekend’s series against Ole Miss beginning Friday night at Plainsman Park. But Irish also went 0-6 in those aforementioned final two games against Mississippi State. Regardless, getting him back should be a boost. Irish only has one hit in his last 17 at-bats, but still is second on the team in batting average, home runs and runs batted in. “The injuries, positionally, it was horrible timing for that to happen,” Thompson said. “I’m still fighting for three weekends for us to play our best baseball. The positive has been getting all these young guys some playing time.” Without Irish and others expected to play a large role this season in the lineup, Auburn has turned to a significant number of freshmen or other newcomers. Over the last 10 games, nine players who were not on the team last season have made the starting lineup. Every freshman position player has played this season. Four of the five freshman position players — Eric Guevara, Cale Stricklin, Cade Belyeu and Cole Edwards — have made starts. Three of them — Guevara, Stricklin and Belyeu — have started more than 10 games each. Belyeu has been especially excellent at the plate as a freshman. He is hitting .304 and is second on the team in on-base-percentage among those with more than 10 games played. Guevara has shown flashes of potential still only about seven months after an ACL injury and Thompson has been pleased with Stricklin, especially as he’s been the one catching behind the plate as the pitching staff has improved. Maybe it hasn’t led to a lot of results right now. These young players are ahead of schedule. The situation of this season has forced that upon them. In the long run, Thompson believes, that may work out to his, and their, benefit. “Some of this will pay dividends at some point down the road,” Thompson said. “We found some anchors to hold on in some of these young guys to get experience may before they were supposed to. That will help us at some point. Hopefully, it’s now. But nonetheless, whenever we get there, that will help us transition to get ready for next year.” Matt Cohen covers Auburn sports for AL.com.

auburnwire.usatoday.com Auburn sticking with same weekend rotation for third straight week Brian Hauch ~3 minutes Auburn baseball will once again try to capture its first SEC weekend series win of the year when the Tigers host the Ole Miss Rebels at Plainsman Park. If there were ever a time for Butch Thompson’s team to grab a series “W”, this would be it, as the Rebels come in with just a 5-10 road record and 23-21 record overall. Although the Tigers haven’t won either of their last two series, it hasn’t been because of the starting pitching. Auburn’s weekend rotation has pitched to an above-average 3.85 earned run average over the past two weekends. That stat, along with Auburn’s newfound competitiveness in recent games, may be why coach Thompson has opted to throw Sophomore Dylan Watts (0-2), senior Tanner Bauman (2-2), and junior Carson Myers back into the action this weekend against Ole Miss. Watts will once again open up the series for the Auburn staff. The young right-hander wasn’t fantastic last weekend against LSU, but he was certainly very good. Auburn’s newest pitching weapon went the deepest he had in any game this season last Friday, throwing 5 2/3 innings of 2-run ball. Watts was dominant throughout the night but allowed 2 solo home runs in the 4th and the 5th in an otherwise brilliant 9 strikeout performance. Seasoned veteran Tanner Bauman is in line to start for the second-straight Saturday after throwing 4 1/3 solid innings of 2-run ball last weekend. The senior is lefty tied a season-high with 5 punch outs on the afternoon, although I’m sure he would have traded a few of those for quicker outs to get him through 5 innings. He’ll hope to last long enough to qualify for his third win of the season this time out. In a strange ironic twist, Auburn’s only win last weekend came when the Tigers best and most consistent pitcher, Carson Myers, had one of his worst outings of the season. The UAB transfer lasted just 4 innings against LSU last Sunday, allowing 4 runs (all earned) on 5 hits and a walk. He struck out just 1. Myers may have a chance to take the bump in a rubber game this Sunday. If he gets the chance, the left-hander will need to be better.

Auburn looks for strong finish starting with series vs. Ole Miss Auburn baseball takes on Ole Miss this weekend at Plainsman Park. Jason Caldwell11 hrs AUBURN, Alabama—With nine games left in the SEC schedule, coach Butch Thompson and the Auburn Tigers know that the clock is ticking if they hope to advance to the SEC Tournament in Hoover. Currently 21-22 overall and 3-18 in league play, Auburn three games behind Missouri and four games behind both LSU and Ole Miss in the race for Hoover. The good news for the Tigers is that they'll get the Rebels and Missouri the next two weeks with an opportunity to make up some ground. That begins this weekend when Ole Miss (23-21, 7-14) comes to Plainsman Park for a three-game series beginning Friday night at 6 p.m. The game can be seen on SEC Network+. In a race of its own, trying to get back to the NCAA Tournament after going just 6-24 the league last season following a national title in 2022, Ole Miss comes into the weekend with plenty to play for as well. Thompson said that makes for what should be yet another competitive weekend in the Southeastern Conference. "It's good to be back home after two weeks on the road," Thompson said. "We kind of control our own destiny. We're interested in playing our best baseball down the stretch and this week it's vs. Ole Miss and next week vs. Missouri. They are teams we're competing with for those spots. It's a very important weekend here on the Plains. "It keeps the team, coaches and fans engaged and fighting for something and playing for something that's right in front of you. You don't completely control your own destiny, but a chance to continue to stay in the fight." Auburn is hoping to build onto what has been two solid weekends from the starting pitching against Mississippi State when Dillon Watts, Tanner Bauman and Carson Myers combined for 27.1 innings and an ERA of just 3.95. That's a huge step in the right direction for Auburn and means those will continue to be the guys that the Tigers roll with on the weekend. "I feel like they have given us a chance," Thompson said. "I feel like the last two series, every game we've had a chance to be successful. I think this will be the third or fourth week with this rotation intact." On the flip side, Auburn's offense has been in the tank recently without Ike Irish, Bobby Peirce and Mason Maners. While Maners got back in the final game of the series at LSU, the Tigers continue to struggle swinging the bats. With Irish and Maners both expected back this weekend, Auburn's offense will have a chance to make some noise against an Ole Miss staff that has also struggled this season. Starting pitchers: Auburn Game 1: So. RHP Dylan Watts (0-2, 5.13 ERA) Game 2: Sr. LHP Tanner Bauman (2-2, 4.72 ERA) Game 3: Jr. LHP Carson Myers (2-3, 4.22 ERA) Ole Miss Game 1: Jr. RHP Riley Maddox (2-6, 6.42 ERA) Game 2: So, LHP Liam Doyle (2-2, 5.90 ERA) Game 3: Jr. RHP Mason Nichols (4-0, 3.14 ERA) SCOUTING THE REBELS Ole Miss enters the weekend with a 23-21 overall record and 7-14 mark in SEC play, including a 2-7 record on the road in league play. Offensively, the Rebels rank 13th in the league with a .264 team average, led by Ethan Lege's .323. Andrew Fischer leads the way with 15 homers and 41 RBI. On the mound, Ole Miss is 13th in the SEC with a 6.19 staff ERA and has struck out 416 batters with 193 walks in 371.0 innings of work.

Forwarded this email? Subscribe here for more Donald Von ShitzInPantz hates his lawyer. his lawyer hates him back Todd Blanche is the latest Trump lawyer to set his reputation on fire Jeff Tiedrich May 3 READ IN APP believe it or not, Todd Blanche — Donny Trump’s lead lawyer in the Big Manhattan Election ****ery Trial — used to be one of the good guys. no fly-by-night parking garages for Blanche. right out of law school, this dude went to work for the Southern District of New York, eventually rising to become co-chief of the office’s violent crimes unit. for a time, he actually worked alongside Alvin Bragg. after leaving the SDNY, Blanche was a partner in various Wall Street law firms. but in 2023, Todd chucked it all to work for Donald Trump. now, because of that decision, he will be for the rest of his life known as the buffoon who stood up in court and tried to convince a judge that it was okay for his client to violate his gag order — because Michael Cohen called him Von ShitzInPantz. Upgrade to paid “Hey Von ShitzInPantz…your attacks of me stink of desperation. We are all hoping that you take the stand in your defense.” and it’s now part of the official court record. listen to Jake Tapper on CNN. he and co-host Dana Bash can barely keep straight faces as he breaks the news to their audience. Jake Tapper: “uh, Blanche, Todd Blanche, Trump’s attorney specifically reading a post that Michael Cohen made on Twitter on April 22nd in which he refers to Donald Trump as ‘Von Shitzinpantz.’ uh, that is just a factual record and bringing before you — this is in the court transcript — Von Shitzinpantz.” the question must be raised: did Todd Blanche secretly thrill at reading that tweet aloud? was Blanche being passive-aggressive, or getting back at his boss? because according to reports, Donny Pantload has been badmouthing Blanche all over town. Donald Trump is — to put it mildly — a ******* moron who believes he knows more about lawyering than all the lawyers, and he wants Blanche to be as big as a**hole in court as Trump is. so he’s telling Blanche to attack the witnesses, the jury — and the judge. Blanche isn’t a complete idiot. he knows that back-talking a judge is one of the worst things you can do during a trial — and so he’s been ignoring his damned fool client’s orders, and now Trump is hella pissed. hey, you know who did follow Donny’s orders? Chris Kise. remember him? he was the smirking frat boy who was the lead lawyer in the Big Trump Family Business Fraud ****ery Trial. Kise did everything he could to annoy the s*** out of Judge Engoron — he backtalked, he whined, he needled the judge at every opportunity. that worked out so well for Trump that he got no mercy from Engoron, and he’s now on the hook for a half-billion dollar judgement, pending appeal — and Kise ended up on the wrong end of a sanction. know who else followed Donny’s orders to the letter and ended up sanctioned? Ms. Look At My Brand New Kidneys, the original parking garage lawyer herself. Habba has to shell out nearly a cool mil, all because she didn’t want to anger Donny and have her pool privileges at Motel-a-Lago revoked. so now Todd Blanche has become the latest Trump lawyer to pour gas all over his reputation and set it the **** on fire — because while Blanche won’t go so far as to openly attack Judge Merchan, he’s been perfectly willing to make an utter fool of himself in other ways. hey, if you’re a lawyer, is it a bad thing when a judge tells you that you’re losing all credibility with the court? if only there were some way to know. Todd continues to self-immolate. here’s some prime batshit clown****ery from yesterday. a reporter asked Von Shitzinpantz if he would be testifying at his trial — and listen to the lie that pours out of Donny’s unpleasant anus-mouth. “well, I’m not allowed to testify. I’m under a gag order.” what the ****? that’s not how gag orders work. Trump turns to Blanche for confirmation and look at what Todd does: he nods in agreement. huh? your client lies in public and you just stand there and dumbly nod? the first thing Merchan did when the trial resumed this morning was to smack Donny upside the head. but the judge should have also read Blanche the riot act for standing there like some grinning bobblehead while his client lied he face off. so, is Blanche fed up with his guilty-as-**** client yet? from yesterday: hey, did you know that Donny ****stain has beautiful blue eyes? I know it’s true, because I read it on Truth Social. “Contrary to the FAKE NEWS MEDIA, I don’t fall asleep during the Crooked D.A.’s Witch Hunt, especially not today. I simply close my beautiful blue eyes, sometimes, listen intensely, and take it ALL in!!!” shut the **** up, Donny. and finally, I think Trump may be right about the courtroom sketch artist hating him. but what’s not to hate? everyone is entitled to my own opinion is a reader-supported publication.

i might be wrong but i believe and read many years ago some folks were down on gays because people died young and they wanted to reproduce their tribe members. i could be wrong on this but i still think it has something to do with it.

i have finally given up on organized religion as there is too much hate involved. it shakes my faith at time and i get so mad becausefolks act nothing like jesus on here and elsewhere. and a lot of local churches feed and clothe the poor. and i am so sick of hearing libs are evil. it is tough. i will be sixty nine if i make it and i pray at home. it hurts me that many make a mockery of jesus by their beliefs.

make me feel better apollo...............
