Please Win UCONN. Then we will have legit national championships on both sides .

Just based on what I seen, it will be a lot of save me throws from QB, hoping the running game can take the next step and relying on the kicking game. I don't expect a grand resurgence based on W/L.

Cam is the real deal.

Well yes because that would mean it was a successful season, isn’t that part of the point?

Golf and swimming… What about horseshoes?

Haha slightly embarrassing. Too be fair this is what I get for being lazy and not typing. Damn you Apple technology.

I am going to go with this since I wasn’t born (damn speak to text) in 1983. Also the couple of times Alabama did not win their division, yet found a way into the NC game.

What did you do to that guy?! lol. That was personal. Must’ve disagreed with him on the political forum or something.

Wow

Clark is the real deal Holyfield . Want to see her versus USC.

Sounds like Cam Coleman is as expected.

Yep, the fact is many coaches had all the power , therefore players were at the whim of the hierarchy. This is no longer the case. Sometimes I wonder if “player relationship” is code for this.

That DJ Burns is something else .

I agree. I certainly don't think he will be nearly impactful at the next level, and it is a major reason why he returned this year to hopefully improve enough to be a lottery hopeful. It is really going to depend on what organization he goes to.

He has done a lot to improve his stamina and skillset for this moment. It would be vindicated if they win it all after all the turbulence that has been going on at Purdue since he has been there (relating to march madness).

if that is the case, I would consider that a very successful season. Grayson has created a great role, first in Milwaukee and now in Phoenix. You need those kind of pieces on championship teams.

He will find a role. Not sure he will be more than that though...

I would be lying if I said I am I did not want to see a match up between Purdue vs UCONN.

If we couldn’t find a way to figure out Yale , I have a hard time believing we would get through UNC.

https://www.on3.com/college/auburn-tigers/news/hugh-freeze-reveals-serious-concerns-nil-transfer-portal-transactional-nature-auburn-sec-meetings/ what’s the difference? The difference is we have no way at this current juncture of knowing if Hugh Freeze way will work. But despite NS hating the way the college landscape has been played, we at least know he played it successfully ( and yes I have metrics to back that up). “Because I got into coaching for transformative means and that’s what I witnessed from the coaches that coached me, from my father and the other great coaches that I played for,” Freeze said. “So it makes you think and wonder, man is my way still working? You know, to build culture and team and when really, in a lot of these transactional deals now, there’s really only one side that’s really locked in to the process. And that’s unnerving. And a little concerning.

And this is exactly how the heck Hugh Freeze feels?! What’s the difference? The only dang difference is NS is retired and Hugh Freeze isn’t. But your original quote said that Hugh Freeze may be more acclimated and better suited to this landscape than NS and others. And I am asking you, what the heck are you basing that on? Because NS hates the way the game is played now? So what? A lot of coaches have echoed the same sentiments.

So you have no metrics to prove this? Just say that then. This silliness that since he retired then current coaches are more suited is ridiculous. If that this the case then Sam Pittman is better suited than Saban. The fact of the matter is even after NIL was established, Alabama led by Saban was still successful in these current college landscape based on recruiting , numbers , supposed NIL backing, etc , etc. I am sure he hates the way things are now and that’s fine. Hugh Freeze is not fond of it either. You say he adapted? Great. NS had to adapt the last three years as well. Dude is in his freaking 70s, his wife health is apparently questionable, he is already the goat HC of college football, he has nothing else to prove. On the other hand Hugh Freeze has a lot to prove and hasn’t done so yet.

So you are basing this simply on the fact that NS retired ? Lol. Even though his teams were very successful both on the field and by recruiting metrics? So what has Hugh Freeze shown in his limited time at Auburn and at Liberty since the start of the NIL > Saban? Give me some metrics.

The OP has moved the goal post all thread lol. He states that “But he may be better suited for the current college football climate than many other coaches, including Nick Saban.” Based on what? Since the start of the NIL NS had won two SEC championships and had one national championship appearance. I like freeze , I wanted freeze, but there is nothing we can point to yet from his days of Liberty or at Auburn to show he is better suited for this current way of football than many coaches or Nick Saban.

When has anything substantial come out of a joke of a bowl game? Yet after that game the head coach was already ready to give up on him after supposedly going all in on him. Keep up nester. It is not about A day. It is the cumulative effect of inconsistency about the QB play throughout spring. I just threw A day out there because that would be the only substantial time this spring that the fans can actually get any sort of info into Auburn spring performance (unless you go to pay sites of course).
