  1. Sounds like Tre’s transferring to University of Michigan.
  2. Less than 50% chance? Regardless, get the new basketball facility started already! Bruce Pearl, Auburn Parrish got to May first, so an acknowledgement right here that he makes a lot of sense and I do believe May will be among the 3-4 coaches at the top of Ohio State's list. In the interest of keeping this list varied and eclectic, I'll offer up Bruce Pearl for discussion. I recently traveled to Auburn and spent some one-on-one time with Pearl; he was willing to go on the record about his potential candidacy on the carousel this year. At 63, I believe that IF Pearl is going to take one more move, it will be this year or next. Likelihood? I'd go under 50% for this year as of March 6, but a lot changes in this month. Ohio State should put Pearl on its list of targets. He is built to build up programs and has coached winners (and made a Final Four) twice in the SEC. His force of personality is matched maybe — maybe — by five other coaches in the game. He's won big at a football-first institution before (Tennessee) and turned Auburn into a near-annual Top 25 program. So long as Ohio State's power brokers are good with having a big-name coach bringing in a lot of attention, Pearl's got the wins (670 of them) and charisma to inject a lot of hope into a top-25 job in the sport. -- Matt Norlander
  3. Awesome game. Another Reid and Mahomes game winning drive clinic. TD was a variant of the final drive 4th and 1 conversion but with a different receiver. Would love to see AU put it in our arsenal because it’s very difficult to defend.
  4. I'd argue BP is our best coach in all sports. Didn’t you state this? Why is HCBT better than HCBP or any other AUGC?
  5. I’m not touting a best HC. They’re all class folks but streaky because it boils down to player leadership in my opinion. Our coaches put trust in the players to perform at a high level but the players aren’t complementing their coaches trust. We’re missing player development and player leadership in all major sports for some reason. I have no idea why our beloved sports teams can’t excel but it gets frustrating nonetheless.
  6. Someone said CBT was our best HC in all sports? We’re 0-4 in the last, most impactful games (SEC championship , CWS playoff-series). What am I missing? I’m not in favor of a HC change, but wtf? Why can’t we compete? Are we too young and everyone is returning next year or are we having to replace half the baseball roster? No player leadership? Why the late season surge and the end of season collapse?
  7. Update on AU NCAA Golf? Are we at #14 after 2nd day? Nothing on the AU site so bad news = no news?
  8. Bynes was/is a beast! Didn’t he start as a true freshman? He’s still in the NFL with the Ravens. We haven’t had many LBs that good and that durable. He’s been able to stay healthy for a long time. He’s up there with Mike Kolen and Gregg Carr for favorites at AU in my book.
  9. How many of our LBs would start on any SEC team much less the top four conference teams? The answer to this question will speak volumes regarding the “must have” for quality LBs.
  10. Coach Freeze had a great hybrid at Ole Miss during his HC tenure. Evan Engram was a nightmare to defend. 6’3” 240. He was fun to watch when not playing AU. He is still playing in the NFL.
  11. Anna Davis picks a college Cameron Jourdan for Golfweek…“Anna Davis has decided where she wants to play college golf.” “The 16-year-old who won the Augusta National Women’s Amateur in April announced Monday she has committed to the Auburn women’s golf program via her Instagram account. Davis posted a photo with Tigers’ coach Melissa Luellen and assistant Kim Hall.” “Last week, Davis’ twin brother, Billy, committed to play for the Auburn men….However, whether Davis ever makes it to Auburn remains to be seen. She could turn professional before ever teeing it up for the Tigers. The early signing period for her class is next November.”
  12. The Harsinogen effect. He’s a cancer to our beloved football program.
  13. Hire the Wisconsin AD. Today! He got HC Cryst to take $11M severance instead of the $20M contractual obligation.
