    I’m seeing some indications on other sites that we had a very very very good day today. Damari also tweeted a bat signal fwiw. Someone on another site said that their source told them everyone who visited commited. If that’s true, Hugh Freeze is going to end up being our Saban😂. @bigbirdyou hearing anything this good?

    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.

    As for our chances in the dance this year? Do yourself a favor and lower any expectations you have. The tourney amplifies the importance of guard play. I'll just leave it at that.

    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?

    We may not even get to the Big Dance this year. It would be a slap to CBP, but may be an eye opener. I’m tired of being embarrassed repeatedly—always falling behind 15 points in first half due to lack of effort and intensity. And then miraculously playing madman catch-up to lose over and over the last month by anywhere from 2 to 5 points in each game.

    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.

    Changing the portal rules would help somewhat curb this as it would stop and make players think before just entering the portal for a bigger payday and that IS something the NCAA can do.  Will they?  We will see what direction this new president takes it.  

    The portal acting as free agency + NIL has made a complete mess of college football and honestly I don’t think there is a valid reason that players should just be able to hop from school to school like they are doing now.  If they had to go back to sitting out a year it would make them pause a bit before just jumping in looking for a better deal. 

     

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

    Arkansas is a Must Win

    You say must win like it makes any difference.

    This is another lost game in a lost season where decisions have been made without actually being made.

    I read a "must win" as if a win would change an outcome. It doesn't.

    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. 

    Auburn at Ole Miss predictions

    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.

    Can anybody deduce who these mystery candidates are, both in this search and the last one?

    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.)
