All love from me to to you and your boy Momma. War Eagle.

Of course... God forbid that the idiot from Kansas bring up things like bulletin board material and the dangers of the press when a parent is around. It only applies when we're talking about kids who parents we don't know. Got it. I know my place. Thanks for reminding me @McLoofus

You're totally missing what I'm saying, Momma. I have no doubt that Sean will do great things. I'm already a fan. All I'm saying is that it's better to do them than say them, especially when reporters are around. I'd say the same thing about any other player on the team.

It's not about speaking highly of himself, Momma, and I have no doubt he can back up what he says. It's about not giving big guys with attitudes bulletin board material to feed off of. In the college game, it's best to let your play on the field do the talking for you. It's especially important when sports writers are around as they will go out of their way to use your words against you and your team. Carl Lawson was a great example. He never said much, but everyone knew he was a bad man.

Highlight the whole thing and then click the quote button that appears, just like when you quote a small portion of something someone says.

Momma there goes that man Love the attitude, but he needs to remember to keep that on the practice field and not in front of the sports writers. We don't need the big uglies painting a target on him.

Though you have to admit, it's a little easier when one of the state schools is in the NCAA frying pan and the other is a giant question mark with a brand new staff lead by someone with no head coaching experience and a total of 1-year coaching in the Power 5. If I were a talented football recruit, I wouldn't be willing to hang 4 years on either of those programs in their current situations. Sure, we still get to compete with LSU and bama, but it has been harder.

And the best part of that tweet is... #Not1Not2... So who's 3?

Since it's already been almost half an hour since you asked....... 50/50 Someone had to do it.

Nah... I was in school in the 90s and they would spit on us when we went to Athens. Friendly stopped well before 2010.

No word. He's one of those types that if he comes it likely won't be posted even behind a VIP wall til he is actually there. Per Keith's live blog... he just (3 hours ago) arrived on campus.

Yea... now that Mullen is in Florida, we don't have to worry about it being part of some nefarious plan.

Especially since @Auburn is the twitter for the weather in Auburn, Washington. Apparently he skills at running back far exceed his Twitter skills.

I know, but I've never once heard Gus refer to one as a Full Back. I believe he likes to say the H stands for "hybrid".

My recollection is that Lindsey prefers tight ends in the "h-back" roll over actual h-backs, while Gus prefers to recruit actual h-backs. The fact that we have two tight ends on the board and no h-backs is what makes me think Lindsey is building his team.

Can we take this as a pretty solid sign that we are moving more in the direction of Chip Lindsey football?

And apparently the Bears are betting that speed kills because they can't have seen anything else that screamed "NFL caliber" in his 16 rushing attempts and 7 receptions as a receiver at FAU last year.

Right?!? We've heard it before from a couple recruits gravitating towards our down home family farm vibe, but to see Gus's effort and personality listed as a primary reason this class is shaping up so nicely is really exciting to me. From everything I've heard, he's totally different 1-on-1 than he is in front of a mic. Kinda makes me want to meet him outside of a football event.

I'm not underselling anyone. All you have to do is look at the first 3 games of the season and you can see that he was as rusty as they get. Today, he's a far superior QB to Fromm, but from day 1 of last season, they weren't that far apart.

That all depends on how Kirby plays it. If he's like his former boss and strings him along without announcing a starter until game 1, sure, but it seems more common, these days, for a QB to jump ship as soon as he finds out he's going to be benched. I'm looking at the scenario of Fields being named within the first week or so of Fall practice and Fromm being eligible as a 2019 recruit to sit 2019 and play 2020.

At the same time, ours effectively hadn't played a game in 21 or so months and was learning an offense that he, himself, said was far more complicated than the offense he had previously learned.

That argument sounds familiar... who was it last used with... Oh yea, Russel Wilson. Not saying Fromm is even in the same area code as Wilson, but chemistry we currently have won't mean jack if Willis and Gatewood never reach their potential just like Frazier and Trotter. If he was interested, I wouldn't say "no".

The pot can talk a little since our 1st year QB threw for about 1000 more yards than theirs.

I wouldn't for one reason and one reason only... they are breaking in a new backfield. The kid gets the credit he deserves for leading a team to the Championship game, but look at his stats. He completed less than 10 passes per game and rarely threw for 200 yards. What that tells me is that they were not putting the game in his hands. I think Fields could give him a run for it. You know Kirby's not going to consider seniority in the slightest. He comes from the Saban school of football where everyone is expendable... ask Eason.

The talk out of Georgia is that Fromm may lose his starting spot to Fields. I could see the Fromm family very quickly becoming strictly AU fans. I guess we could take Jake as a transfer in case Willis and Gatewood never take that next step.
