I respectfully disagree with that statement (the 'Far far away from a bammer QB flipping off the AU Student section during the game' part). Clearly, we aren't on the same page here. Good day to you sir. 😀

Are you indicating that's beyond the realm of possibility? Is say it's possible. I may have remembered wrong in this instance, but its definitely possible.

Lol. Man. My memory has apparently become s*** upon hitting 40. I have distinct image in my mind of Mcelroy doing it in the 2009 iron bowl but with both hands turned up more, a more obvious flip off to the student section. Maybe I'm mixing it up with another rival QB...Jesse Palmer, some other tool like that. Hell I dunno what to believe at this point.

Pretty sure it was the 2009 iron bowl he shot our fans the bird. Was in Auburn. Honestly, who really cares at this point.

Can we just send this ahole packing after the game? Why do we need to see more??!! My apathy for Auburn football is hitting a peak.

Yeah I agree. Held us back alittle the last few years. Last years d would have been unbelievable with a stud speed rusher or 2.

Biggest difference was 2013 had 2 elite pass rushing defensive ends and 2014/2015 did not. Dee Ford graduated after 2013 and Lawson missed 2014 and half of 2015 and was clearly not fully healthy even when he came back in 2015. Statistically 2013 not not that good a defense overall. They were very statistically good in the red zone though.

What was the show called? Would love to find and view.

No busier than he would have been prior I wouldnt think. 🤷‍♂️

I was wondering this too. Seems like we must have recruited well beforehand and the decline Stat mentions were before Ramsey. Why did we drop? Pat Dye was ad, so he probably had a ton of input on athletics and academic requirements, so probably nothing related to that. But I dunno....

Stat, I'm immediately wondering what our % of highly touted guys was before 1988. Also, how the heck do you get recruiting data that far back? I'm a junky when it comes to those sort of numbers, so any help for my addiction would be most appreciated. 🤣

Nick Marshall and the arm strength thing..100% with ya. Dude had a rocket launcher for an arm. Might sound crazy to say/think, but I seriously wonder who could actually throw the deep ball further...Nick or Cam. I would have paid money to watch a PPV of those guys chunking deep balls in some sort of a crazy deep ball contest.

Back when we recruited those big punishing backs. Steven Davis, Bostic, and Tony Richardson on one roster. Man Tot inherited some hosses.

-Regarding Morris bringing new life to the offense, I just remain skeptical until I see it. Gus has burned me a lot of times. I hope Im wrong. -I didnt specifically say Gatewood flamed out. But he was another hyped QB that didnt end up being a star for us. I also wouldnt call Nix a franchise QB yet. He has a winning mentality and is a smart qb with some great skills, but his production has not nearly matched his potential yet. He may get there, but is not yet. I do see your point there, but again, Ill reitorate my prior one. -Gus coached Cam Newton and Kick Marshall, both of whom were awesome. Similar to the Morris thing with coaching Tajh (5 star) and Deshaun (5 star). I couldve coached those guys to excellence. -As far as voicing concerns in a recruiting thread, hey, its a message board. The whole beauty of it as it doesnt matter what I post. The kid will either be good or not. 🙂

I dont feel like thats an accurate statement. Kiehl was a high 4 star on rivals and a 5 star via Scout and I believe was the high school national player of the year. Davis is fairly high rated, but not that high with that many accolades. As far as Gatewood...let me clarify. Dont necessarily mean he was a bust, mainly i meant another hyped up 4 star qb everyone got excited about that didnt end up playing QB at Auburn at a high level. In his case, it was due to playing time.

And that means?

Someone please give me some hope this guy will be different than the last high but not sure cant miss dual threat qb recruit...ala Kiehl Frazier, Woody Barrett, or Joey Gatewood? I want to get excited, but you know what they say about fool me twice. Well, except this time its fool me like 5 times. Objectively, is this guy that good?

Why the lack of confidence in getting Green? Thought we lead for him.

Does anyone have any insight on this guy as a prospect, other than his ranking?

Lolol....my question was rhetorical. Did not mean this as a real question.

Lol. How did I know this was coming??? He was obviously playing Auburn the last few months and when he got called out for it, came back with some shot at Auburn to save face. This kid is Bama trash through and through...good riddance.

Welcome back JMR! Great insight....had been missing this last few weeks. War Eagle sir!!

Defensive backfield is gonna be sick in a couple of years. Add these two guys to Sherwood and Monday, Puckett and Simpson. My God.

Could be.

Not that Harper has ever looked jacked, but has he dropped weight? He looks like about 155 160 lbs in that pic.
