10-2 absolute ceiling 6-6 the floor 8-4 my prediction

My Friday Fantasy™

Oh jeez please don't do this to me. Don't make me believe after getting burnt so many times. Screw it. I'm in. BELIEVE

My expectations are: Floor - Lose in the first round Ceiling - Upset a 1 or 2 seed in the second round because we get hot shooting while they get cold, and then lose in the Sweet Sixteen Prediction - Lose in the second round How on par are my expectations with where you're at?

What? Where did you hear this? I've been under the impression that we are a lock for an invitation to the Big Dance and should be somewhere between an 8 and 10 seed.

This really pisses me off, even more now than at the time because it it broke the Gumps' cold streak to get this run really going

Just popping by to say **** these refs

Looks like this bumped us up to #2 on On3's Transfer Portal Team Rankings! Still at #4 on 247's though. Either way... top 5 on each site's. Lane who? So much for that king of the transfer portal mumbo jumbo we kept hearing about back in November.

Hell yeah! I wonder if this will bump us up more on the 247 and ON3 transfer portal team rankings.

Is he definitely a TCU lock?

Broome with a double double

We need to hit more perimeter shots

Hope his finger is okay

That is what I think will ultimately be the solution to address the the current NIL + transfer portal issue.

In the 2024 season. If not, how close are we? https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/35152132/rose-bowl-agrees-amended-deal-paving-way-early-cfp-expansion

I'm in. Especially over Freeze.

1. Defense needs to play like last year or close to it. 2. We need to successfully run the ball with both RBs as well as the QB. 3. Ashford needs to hit on the occasional playaction pass if we can establish the run game.

Lol Tennessee is getting straight up humiliated

This is the exact question I had when I popped into the thread lol

I'd say it's a must-win if we hope to somehow get to bowl eligibility. TAMU and WKU would be our other two potential wins to get us to 6-6. Now, do I think it will happen? Not really. But it's certainly in the realm of possibility.

O-line remains a massive liability in both run and pass blocking, and our D can only hold out so long before the fatigue sets in. Plus the crowd noise causes some false start penalties, including at least one that kills a halfway decent looking drive. It kills me to be this pessimistic, but I'm just calling it how I see it. 😔 34-16 OM.

My guesses for the two coaches OP mentions in the current 'search' based on absolutely zero evidence and 100% intuition Active head coach: Freeze (Most likely 'big name' hire, IMO. The vibe I get is that he's spent enough time out of coaching and then as a DA HC at Liberty 'paying his dues.' ) Kiffin (Maybe, but I'm not sold he'd come. How much better is the Auburn job than Ole Miss? Yes, a Saban/Kiffin Iron Bowl rivalry would be awesome, but from his perspective he already gets a shot at Saban each year regardless.) Aranda (I don't see it. Why leave Baylor with an easier path to the playoffs and job security for a hostile environment facing Smart and Saban each year?) Wildcard: Mr. Primetime himself, Deion Sanders (LOL yeah right, PTB would never allow it. But it could be a high risk/high reward kind of thing. If he puts together a solid coaching staff led by a strong OC and DC while focusing on being a game manager and the 'public face' of the team/brand, recruiting could explode. Especially if Bo is involved; imagine being a 5* HS recruit with Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson sitting in your living room for you?) Former head coach weighing options: Meyer (Possibly, but I have my doubts and reservations about him anyway.) Stoops (Maybe? I can't imagine the XFL is scratching his 'head coaching' itch. But who knows.) Briles (Ugh, please don't even consider him.) Gruden (LOL, let's not be like Tennessee fans.)

27-21 AU It's based on a mix of optimism and homerism.

Just saw on the r/wde subreddit that Derick Hall changed his Instagram profile picture to an orange jersey... 🤔

All of my UConn buddies up here are terrified that we are going to poach their AD, David Benedict, considering his connections to the Auburn athletics department.
