Never understood the effort folks go to give Bo a hard time. Most QB’s are not successful in the pros. He probably won’t be but I wish him the best. He is all over the top 10-20 in different NCAA passing record books. But the one that stands out to me … in the history of college football no one has ever had a single season with the completion percentage he did this year on 470 attempts (note: team had 437 rush attempts so they weren’t pass happy). Regardless of the type of offenses or the variety of conferences played in or time zones or the previous all-Americans, heismans or all-pros … that record is his. That is impressive. And completely immaterial to what he may do in the nfl.

The only coach I can think of is David Marsch in swimming. Possibly the most successful Auburn coach ever and admin didn’t take care of his sport. Nobody else though … maybe Heisman like you noted.

Happened again. It’s a 1 run game. We get 2 outs then we give a single, double then home run on the way to giving up 4 in the inning.

FWIW I’m less interested than I use to be. I think this will all end in many unintended bad consequences for the Pool of college athletes across all sports. High end football and basketball players will benefit for the sake of the semi-pro entertainment and the non revenue sports will get trucked. Then the high end players get to deal with Contracts, performance requirements, tax implications, agents, and any number of other factors… the pool of kids will suffer and the adults will continue to benefit while the total number of scholarship athlete benefits at lower levels will reduce it all makes me want to scream. College student athletes - who willingly volunteer to play sports for scholarships - should never have been given these extra benefits.

We may simply have to play 8-9 guys instead of 10-11. More minutes per player like so many other teams. Broome plays a combo 4/5. Our SG’s play a little point. Moore slides between the 3/4 as an emergency. I just don’t think it’s realistic anymore to spread that much money and 10 or 11 guys of minutes. I wish it was but it’ll be awfully tough.

Ryan Williams and Mbakwe are flipping from the turds? Maybe?

As far as Gabe goes … he coached some record setting hitting recently and we had some positive surprises in early season base running plus we had some solid hitting early season.. He’s still the same guy. Can’t really speak to the others except we seemed to have a well thought of staff heading into the season. is it as simple as “one of those years”? Just put in the garbage and work for next year?

The next rule to be overturned by the courts … don’t get playing time in December? transfer New years to a new school. Don’t like it? I’ll sue … bring on the chaos

Auburn? Final swan song? Show he can be the difference maker?

Surely we’ve set some record for getting 2 outs giving up a base runner (or 2) then a homer. I commented a couple times earlier in the season then i stopped “tracking “ it and boom here again today a 6-1 lead becomes a 6-4 lead

I’m assuming it was about agents, money, amateurism vs professionalism etc… well those old ways are shot to hell. A seventh rounder needs to go back to college and sue the ncaa for reinstatement. NCAA has been clubbed in the courts regarding athletes rules. Why not this issue also. It’ll give the kids more control over their careers. May torpedo their futures in the nfl but it’d be fun to watch yet more chaos edit: and I’d love to have those 2 guys back

Brutal season I don’t recall a season that was this pessimistic

I’m bummed i think he could have been a critical piece for us next year. I just don’t get it

Although I believe 2004 was one of the greatest Auburn teams that is the one year I’m on the fence for. I think we got screwed for not being in that title game. I think we should claim the other 4-5 years for sure. Always should have.

Good for him im glad his college career worked out so well hope he succeeds in the pros

I’m right at 8 wins. But it will feel better than that because our O will be better. Our O has to be better for continued recruiting. Hopefully bowl game puts at 9. I’d be more surprised if we had 7 regular season wins than if we had 10 bowl included wins

WR room - waaaay better RB room - at worst same, probably better TE room - better OL room - better (I think/hope much better) coaching, cohesion, play calling, scheme - better QB room - at worst same, should naturally be better we aren’t a playoff team but we will be much better on offense with respectable numbers. My guess is we play more uptempo with at least 10-12 more plays a game with most of that being passes. At a 60-65% completion that’s around 50 more yards a game x 13 games equals pushing nearly 3000 yards passing next season. With a solid run game equivalent to last year and a defense equivalent to last year … The transfer DL and new WR are essential to make this happen. We are gonna have to rotate DL at a much higher clip because we’ll be more uptempo on O because our O HAS to show notable improvement.

Any? Yes, see the link in the post that I’m quoting. (sorry … couldn’t resist)

X post deleted

All that being said …. I’d love for tre to stay. I think he’d be a perfect fit but he’s not going to be ok with 15-17 minutes a game.

Yeah cbp has really praised the team chemistry this year and then the team gets jabbed by both PG’s. Very weird. From my non-bball IQ self Aden has zero reason to be upset. He got waaaaaay more rope than vast majority of players would get. AND cbp switched starting with Moore so it’s not like it was just personal towards Aden.

Well it’s a brilliant pickup for oats. If it works out for Aden on the court then oats gets multiple benefits from production, fans, media, recruiting etc. if it doesn’t work out then no harm done. I'm in the camp of not wanting Aden to leave so im a bit disappointed how this has played out. Feels personal towards cbp.

I hope he has all the success in the world and those folks better buckle up cuz they are getting a soon to be fan favorite.

I had to look it up klein - former oc and heisman qb finalist at K state

Gonna go play for a defensive minded head coach?
