You are correct. I couldn’t recall seeing UVA in all blue so I had to go check it out. Almost identical. So now I am officially back on the no alternative uniform train. j/k

I actually like that look. Occasionally. Can’t think of another team off the top of my head that has a similar look either.

I am not opposed to the occasional alternative uniform but I’m not sure how I feel about orange jerseys. I don’t want to look like Virginia or Syracuse or anybody else. I still want to look like Auburn. I would lean more towards an all blue look or something if we went with an alternate uniform.

I don’t know how NIL is affecting, or not affecting, football recruiting but Bruce Pearl just literally lost a recruit to Tennessee because they paid him more. Gymnastics, softball, equestrian are not revenue generating sports so NIL will probably have a negligible effect on them.

For the record, my post was very much tongue in cheek. And JBiGGiE’s grand momma’s from the Gap. 😉

Be careful talking about the Gap. My momma’s from the Gap.

I have been to quite a few A-day games. Have never heard mention of any proceeds going to charity. Maybe they do, but I’ve never heard. If they do, great, but they should market it better. Make it a big deal. It’s an opportunity to drum up enthusiasm in the off season.

I think A-day would be the perfect opportunity for a fundraising event for a charity. Perhaps, Coach Pearl’sAUtlive Foundation, for example. I would be fine with a small admission fee but I think voluntary donations would raise even more funds. This would allow anyone who wants to go, to be able to go. Pack out a whole row. Bring all the neighborhood kids. Whatever. This has multiple benefits. Fans get to watch their team play, even if it’s not a real game. A deserving charity hopefully gets a substantial donation. Players get to perform in front of, hopefully, a packed out stadium. Also, there are usually recruits at A-day. This generates a lot of enthusiasm and excitement for the school and program. Win, win, win.

Anybody know what brand of basketball we will be playing with tonight?

I have to think that coach corn’s dismissal was not related to his coaching acumen. I have no personal knowledge of the situation though

And then half the fan base will be mad about that because it will mean keeping him another year

So does this answer the ever lingering question of Harsin’s vaccination status?

Like I said, Harsin could be an absolute Richard with ears but I would argue that, if true, you would think it would be an even bigger issue at Boise, not less. As you said, one might tolerate that treatment if the guy has a reputation for putting players in the NFL. Why would some 2* or 3* guy travel hundreds or thousands of miles from home to subject himself to that treatment without the NFL allure? There’s lots of other places they can go play just for the love of the game. If Harsin is this way, it seems highly unlikely that he just got this way. I’m not dismissing it, mind you. It just doesn’t make sense.

Well the reason it was only DL that had a problem with Garner is because that’s who he coached. Harsin is over the whole team. So if, for example, 1 out of 4 (and I’m totally just making up these numbers) couldn’t handle Garner it would stand to reason that 1/4 couldn’t handle Harsin. That would be 20-25 overall. I don’t know what is going on. It just seems odd that after a decade as a head coach, even at Boise, that this would just now become an issue

Disclaimer: I don’t know nothing and I don’t know anybody that knows anything. Not trying to defend Harsin either. But, a lot of guys couldn’t handle Rodney Garner either. Not saying Harsin hasn’t gone above and beyond the “tough love” that coach G issued. But how did he run a successful program for a decade in Boise with that approach? Do they just grow some tough taters in that region? Did he change when he got here? Doesn’t make sense.

In an article posted on this board recently, his HS coach said we had not communicated with Anez since prior to the bowl game

Thanks for letting me know that I’m not the only one at a total loss. Seems to me the staff is “split” on their evaluation of whether or not we need an offensive line.

Any idea why we ghosted Anez Cooper after he presumably did what we asked him to do?

I am not against Gifs per se, but what I am for is quality Gifs. I propose that the mods set a limit on how many Gifs per page a poster can post. That would help to eliminate a lot of mediocre, non Power 5 level Gifs, or even worse, boring FCS level Gifs that nobody really wants to see. When every Gif truly counts, I think we all win.

The video IS his commitment announcement. The title of the video is "Bo Nix: the commitment "

I may be thinking too much also but I think the coach may be thinking about what is best for all of his players and not just one. If the other QB was not playing QB then the other QB would not be playing at all and would not have the scholarship offers that he has. The best thing for AU would be for Joey to be getting all the QB reps but Joey's coach don't work for AU he works for Bartram and his priority is, and should be, all of his kids at Bartram. Also, most HS coaches default to playing their best athlete at QB. This coach has the luxury of playing his best athlete everywhere because he has another guy who happens to be a legit D-1 QB himself.

I agree. And to add to, or further clarify, my previous post, if Joey Is the starting QB then that would leave a kid, who is a very good QB himself, standing on the sidelines quite possibly with no scholarship offers.

IMO, a high school coach has an obligation to do whatever he can, legally of course, to help his kids get to the next level. Joey Gatewood's coach has a starting QB who is a legit D-2 prospect with some D-1 interest. His BEST QB has offers from every program in the country despite the fact that he isn't even playing QB. From this perspective, I think the coach is doing the right thing. Plus, his starting QB is still better than most high school QBs and he has a decent TE/WR also.

uat signed a LS in 2013. It was mentioned that they have offered a LS for this signing class. I hate to even bring them up but since uat is considered the greatest recruiting machine ever, then apparently signing a LS is not an unheard of situation. Actually, I would guess that many teams have a LS on scholarship. The only difference is that he was originally a walk on who was awarded a scholarship later. A scholarship is a scholarship no matter when it is given.

Hardly a theft when the kid's parents (both of them) are Auburn grads. They just happen to live and work in the tuscaloosa area. Yeah I saw that but it doesn't fit my agenda so I ignored it ?
