Woe is me.

Great job! This series of unhinged and irrational posts has done nothing but galvanize more support for Cohen and Freeze. Congrats! Here's your prize.....

100% and yes BP has. My only real sore spot was NOT going after Mark Sears. A veteran floor general there for the taking. Was it scholly limits, or was it pinning all their hopes on Donaldson, Westry, and Traore all being good reliable contributors immediately? The class of 2024 tells me this staff will turn the corner. The portal of 2023, hopefully more so.

With a cloud hanging over the program from 2017 to 2021, and now halfway into 4 years of probation, recruiting was hurt. Nothing more, nothing less. Granted it was self inflicted, but the coaching staff has done yeoman's work keeping the ship afloat and back to WINNING. I would argue they've probably done their best work, given the circumstances. The class of 2024 shows things are looking up. Hopefully, the portal of 2023 will move the needle a little quicker. There is reason for optimism. In the meantime, let's keep pulling for this team of veterans who continue to grind and fight until the end. Maybe they can reach a point where they play free and easy with nothing to lose. To make the tournament this year would be a great accomplishment. I believe they can.

Instant classic. LOL

I'm not giving up. No way. Sometimes growth is hard to see, but I see it. Adjustments HAVE been made. The effort is there offensively and defensively. We're playing more under control. Despite not having reliable outside shooting, and struggling on the glass, our 3,4,5s ARE getting the looks. THEY are our strength. A little better job of finishing through contact wins this game, and others. I thought we handled their ball pressure admirably. And the veteran leadership and experience is keeping us in games.

I was afraid of this. It's tough when your collection of guards enter almost every game in league play seemingly at a disadvantage. Whether it's height, length, strength, speed, athleticism. Consistently it's 2 or 3 of those qualities. The guards on the better teams play with no fear against us. With Radford (Sr) and Taylor (So) scoring at will, we desperately needed way more out of Flanagan, Williams, and KD tonight. We needed a near perfect game. KD is trying to dial it back some and play more under control. But he does not have the burst to blow by people. Not even taller defenders. He's too easy to guard. Every shot is contested. With his physicality, I'd like to see him utilized as a screener more often. Not only outside, but inside as well. On any defender. Big and small. Free up others while rolling off or stepping back. By the way, all of the top home court winning streaks went by the wayside in the span of 2 weeks. All of them.

This should be fun. Would Georgia win a Natty with RA at the helm? No way IMO. Carry on.....I'll sit back and listen....

Hint. You can run the baseline AFTER a made FG or FT......

Imagine evaluating the job performance of someone you considered hiring at your previous stop, but went in a different direction. How uncomfortable that might be....for both parties....

No sweat. Piece of cake.

Several things jump off the page for Mr. Davis. I can guarantee Freeze had a private chat with Gus about the makeup of one Marcus Davis. 1) Auburn alum - Continuity. From Caddy, to Zac, and now Davis, who is the youngest. These 3 men bring a succession of playing experience from Tuberville, to Chizik, and finally Malzahn. 2) Education - Bachelor's in Communications, followed by a Master's degree in Education in rapid succession. Impressive. 3) Clear career path - Demonstrating growth and a drive to accept new challenges. 4) Leadership - Voted a Team Captain as a player. That screams respect in the locker room. 5) His home turf is South Florida. Grew up an hour north of Miami. Prime recruiting area.

And yet the end result was the same. Go figure.

The Thompson situation smells a lot like the Prattville/Bill Clark days.

I don't understand WHYYYYYY an Auburn fan chooses THIS thread about a 3 star QB committing to Auburn to diminish the kid, in a backhanded sort of way, while mocking other Auburn fans? I don't get it. How about choosing one of the other Freeze threads to bash and berate the man from here to kingdom come? Have at it. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy Auburn FINALLY getting some decent linemen. And thank this young man for choosing Auburn as his school.

How about acting more like Cadillac, instead of less? And he's basically calling Trovon Reed an outright liar with this little jewel: "Now you say he is proud to be at Auburn but he again tries to rub the NCAA nose in the ground by meeting a recruit wearing auburn NIL logo instead of keeping his head down and being passionate about Auburn. He is a narcissist and Narcissist care about know one but themselves and that also includes the school where he coaches." I didn't know we had Betazoid fans in our midst who can read minds and glean intentions. Amazing.

Maybe you should change your display name because the real life incarnation of it, accepted a job under Freeze. His standard is much lower than yours apparently.

No worries! Golloway and Harsin are long gone....

Kelly’s last full time DC gig was 2017 at FSU? If he’s so good, why didn’t Jimbo bring him to TAM or Saban make him the full time DC? At Colorado, the expectations, scrutiny, and competition is a lot less. Kelly won’t have to do much to raise the bar of a 1-11 team.

One step at a time. An already thin roster is losing A LOT. Until that gets straightened out, at this point, it's not fair to establish hard baseline W/L or bowl projections. Demonstrate we can get some good players on a regular basis. Let's accomplish that first.
