Fair to expect 8 wins at this point. I think we get 7. 

I could totally buy into this.
 

Until we get legitimate QB play, we will continue to underwhelm and be unpredictable.

Crazy that we still care this much about a player that left us two years ago.  I figured that we could just forgive those that differed from us and move on.

I guess that’s expecting too much.

Still not as bad as the shacket.

I don't know man. I'm kinda leaning towards random, angry Gameday Thread posters for this one....

What are we fighting about now?

Congrats to Bo on working hard and getting drafted. I’ll always give someone credit for leaving a bad situation to improve their own, especially when it’s a difficult decision. He was here during the worst coaching hire in our history. All that coupled with the scrutiny that social media provides added a layer of difficulty. And that’s not necessarily unique to him. What is, perhaps, is his legacy. 

And on the arguing. It seems to me that people begin to argue about a particular player and when it  gets heated, it becomes less about the player and more about defending their own opinion. It becomes personal. I know I’ve done it.

Very cool interview. What he described is pretty well what my mind had mapped out. Dad took the hit to move on.

As to why they didn’t “out” the source at the time? I think Cam’s dad knew what the right route was. Taking off the O/B glasses, I would imagine most football fans thought we were guilty of paying him through the lense of their own biases or media driven angles. It’s best to take that grenade and move on knowing the truth.

I still think we add a transfer QB. Salter makes the most sense. Better late than never, I guess. 

Coleman will help any QB. But he can only do so much. 

I’m letting my sarcastic side pilot tonight. Apologies.

I just hope there is a firm plan. And that it’s executed.

Im just really tired of assuming….and I’ll leave it at that.

ETA….You dang right on Coleman.

You’re not excited that Thorne looks a little better than last year and is clearly QB1!? 

I would be excited about that, but I keep getting reminded that spring games don’t matter.  
 

Because Cam.

Clearly.

I just think it is obvious ignorance for some. But what do I know ? Not much. 

I’m a card carrying member of that club, sir!

The only problem with saying record wise doesn’t matter is the fact that teams can look completely different from year to year with the transfer portal. I do agree it does matter what we look like, particularly on the offensive end. 

Exactly. None of this is happening in a static environment. Rosters from year to year are going to constantly change. More so now than ever. Also, this idea of a gradual progression of wins is very intriguing to me. Most notably, how does the qb position play out. Does Thorne play well enough this year to keep a stronghold on the starting position? If so, we enter 2025 with a new starter. How much experience does that starter come in with? There is a lot riding on this year.

The team with the 6th best odds to win it all is a 4 seed. 

We got robbed, boys. 

The die is cast. Just win, baby.

if you ever do a gummy take  a small bite and wait awhile. they are way stronger than smoking. i have been smokiing for over fifty something years and one third will get me buzzed. i would hate for you to take too much and get a hell ride instead of a high........grins.

Well since I’ve never done either, I’ll take you advice, if I’m ever presented with that option.😬

i have big love for you brother. i still kick my own azz for taking a shot at you but i did apologize. you are one of the good guys!

Man, don’t think a second more on it dude. Spats happen between bros, that’s just the way it is. We wrassle in the yard then go have a beer. Hell, I might even try my first gummy of we ever meet.

Dammit man, sorry to hear this confirmed news.

You’re a good dude, fifty. Keep those bright spirits up. Prayers up for you brother!

Praying for you, man. Hopefully you get some positive news soon!

Thanks, Barnacle. I knew you could provide a thoughtful analysis. There's a lot of room in between "he watched a kid die" and "why are we talking about this, kids are too soft these days." Anyone who cares about the team and the players should be interested in the facts here. 

 

Y’all can stop with this level headed  and thoughtful conversation any time. There’s no room for that here.

You got me. I'm a troll. 

I joined this site in 2008. Donated money, posted 4,000 times and have a 7.5 K reputation. All of this is at the very top of the profile you keep talking about. 

I did it all for this moment. When I could troll you with a minor disagreement. 

For the record, my comments weren't all negative on my profile before this stupid argument. But I do not like Freeze. I like Auburn. 

 

 

Wait, you’re like the Ray Finkle of the forum?!

If Caddy’s statement is all that’s released, then it says just about all that needs to be said, no? If there was some sort of tomfoolery afoot, the university damn sure isn’t gonna expound on a resignation with an explanation.
