Sean Jackson would make sense if he actually wants to get playing time. Maybe Battie? I’m not sure he’s going to get many more touches than he got last year.

This is the first I’ve heard a RB is leaving? Hopefully not Cobb?

Is this Teaford’s first season? I tend to like to give coaches more than one year because a lot of positive can come in year two but this is abysmal. Didn’t Auburn return the majority of its pitching from last year? Pitching was pretty decent last year wasn’t it? Woof.

Don’t even get a tax break like you do giving to the University or being a TUF member.

If Holden hits the portal Auburn will have to grab another Qb from somewhere.

Wonder who we see hit the portal now that spring practice is over? Wonder if there are any surprises?

A lot of these feelings probably have to do with what’s happening across the state Football - playoffs every year. Couple nattys Bball - 3 sweet sixteens and now a final 4 in the last 5 years Softball - Bama’s usually pretty good #13 Baseball team as of 4/6/24 I don’t keep up with their other sports but they have one of the best PGA golfers right now. I think the kid who won the tourney as an amateur is a Bammer. Shouldn’t compare ourselves to Bama but what else do we have to do?

I think Derrick Nix will have the biggest impact. From all reports Freeze and Montgomery weren’t on the same page all season. Hopefully Nix and Freeze’s familiarity with each other will make the offense look more competent. Nix will probably lean more on the running game instead of asking Thorne to carry the team.

Im thankful for what Bruce has done but it’s time for him to feel some pressure. There’s nothing Nate Oates has that Bruce doesn’t. This makes the Yale game that much more embarrassing. We like to beat our chest about a final four 5 years ago now but Bama is on pace to be the better program since then.

Bruce is starting to get in uncharted waters at Auburn. Everyone is grateful for what Bruce has done to make Auburn relevant but things have stalled out. Meanwhile our biggest rival is about to play in its 3rd sweet sixteen in the last 5 years. I don’t believe Auburn has made it that far in that time span? I’ll probably get roasted for saying this but Bruce is getting a bit Gusish. Win a couple big games, be in contention, but flame out in the postseason. 2023/24 Auburn basketball = 2017 Auburn football.

Maybe the Auburn social media folks will start covering more spring practice stuff now that basketball is over. It seems quieter than recent years. It’s no surprise the QBs don’t look great at this point. 3rd system in 3 years for most, Young WRs, and the 2 best ones are a true freshman and redshirt freshman. If Walker makes it in a game it’s going to be in 2nd string cleanup duty. Fairweather was Thorne’s best and sometimes only viable target last year so they should be hitting it off. Probably will be mid season before the WRs start to become more of a threat. Relying on a true freshman at any position in the SEC is going to be a hit and miss proposition.

Outside of 4, Yale was garbage. Auburn was worse. This was one of the hardest Auburn games that I’ve watched. It was so clear that Auburn was the better team and they’d get up 10 but then there would be a bad pass or a dumb shot that would kill all momentum. Auburn beat themselves.

Out played, out coaches, and got pushed around by an inferior team. It was a matter of time before Chad did something that cost this team.

A lot can change by August but it sounds like Thorne has a pretty firm grasp on QB1.

They already released the 2025 schedule? I thought they were going to do a rotation thing so every school played each other in a reasonable time frame? Is it going to be 20 years before Auburn plays in the swamp or neyland again?
