My interpretation is that it’s just unorganized, like the same type of stuff you’d see if 5 guys just played together at the rec 

 

Which it doesn’t look that far from that at times imo lol 

Agree!

We are just a sloppy team.  Still time to shape up, I hope.

Thanks Tank.  Wishing you great success!

Like it or not, CFB is about recruiting above all else.  That's how Lil Nicky built an empire.

Put yourself in the shoes of an 18 year old kid.  Who makes the bigger impression on you sitting in your living room?  Lifelong coach of a legendary DC that you likely never heard of?  Or, the NFL Hall of Famer with Super Bowl Rings who is arguably the greatest Defensive Back to ever play the game?

It's gotta be Prime Time if it's between the two.  All Prime needs to do is come in and make out of the park hires for his staff and then manage the program and bring in the talent. 

I agree.  

Prayers for Brenda!!

Lol dude don’t quote me with this type of stuff.  You got 20+ other people you could quote, don’t come at me with it. This is a message board created by fans for fans to discuss Auburn sports. I’m doing just that and my post are not disrespectful to this players nor would they ever be. We shot sub 50% at the line and Cambridge was 1-5 from deep and 26% on the season. I didn’t say anything out of the way. My post doesn’t say anything about us not being the top team in the country. You might want to simmer down or choose to come for someone else next time. 

Great teams will have bad games.  Respectful fans should realize that and cut them a break.  Or, just go talk to the players you are criticizing and tell them what you think of their play tonight.

FT hasn’t been terrible until tonight. I think that was the worse on the season. I’ll never get over Wendell’s shot but that Cambridge one was ridiculous. He should not be throwing up multiple threes a game. If he is we got a problem. 

Let me try and understand this..... we are 22-2 and just lost in overtime to an extremely good team in a very hostile environment without our starting point guard and some of you(who probably lack the talent to even step on the court with this team) are bitching because we lost a game????  I get it that most of you probably haven’t been watching Auburn basketball for 60 years like I have but if you had you would understand what a fabulous team we have and you would be thrilled to be where we are right now.  We will probably drop a few more on our way to the national championship but that’s just basketball.  We have a monster team.  Can’t believe any of you would criticize their play.

Please reply with the number that fits your current Auburn football mood. (I'd do Survey Monkey but want to keep it on the board.)

1. Panicked or extremely low.

2. Deeply concerned

3. Holding on to hope, but....

4. I believe we're on the right path.

5. I think we could win 10 or more games in 2022.

It's a bit of a struggle right now to feel good about where we are. I wasn't that rocked by those last 5 games. Disappointed for sure, and a little concerned, but ok.

And the first signing day was hugely encouraging. Players were communicating how much they love the new regime. But the rate of transfers out, and the way Mason left--there's a reason every national commentator I see thinks we're on fire.

The Davis thing, I'm willing to trust what the guy said in the absence of other evidence. But whatever's going on with the transfers has me very, very itchy.

Regarding Gus, I'm grateful for the job he did. It was evident, though, that he had a ceiling and wasn't going to get us back to championships. Too many signs of grasping straws. You can just run out your time somewhere, and I wish him success at UCF. I certainly root for him.

Has anyone signed with us today?

Mason was the overwhelming celebrated hire that Harsin made. WAY more celebrated than Harsin being hired because no one knew who the hell he was.

Off topic I know but any updates on Gus’s wife?  Hopefully she is better.

Pat was Auburn!

Did you watch any of the games? Bo was not liked by a lot of his teammates and proceeded to pout like a baby on multiple occasions. Now he has run away from Auburn and sharing his family’s posts whining about how Auburn treated him. Do good and you will be loved. Do bad and you may need to toughen up and lock in.

I watch every game.  I wish him the very best.

Most men don't mature until they are well into their twenties, so that's a little unfair.

It could be true that reaching maturity, he's doing exactly what he thinks will be best for him going into the future. 

Hell, I'm kind of excited for him. He doesn't owe Auburn anything more.

 

I agree with you Homer.  I wish him success.

His mom posted about a week ago.  Her line that struck me …

”Now, it’s time for Bo to love himself more than Auburn.”

I wish Bo nothing but the very best.

A coach who extorts a $50 million contract out of AU or promises to leave for an opponent should be written off the "famed coaches" list.  He got what he wanted, but AU didn't.....for that $50 million contract.

Just my opinion but the blame for that contract falls squarely on the shoulders of the university not Gus.  Brilliant move on the part of Gus and his agent.  I doubt that there are many of us on this board who wouldn’t love to have that deal.  I don’t see it as extortion but rather as a sharp business move.  Blame Auburn for that one.

Say we end with M’ba on the DL tomorrow. A:F - how do you rank this class so far??

I think we exceeded expectations.  It gives me hope.  Based on effort and results I give it an A.

Come on guys.  I love Auburn football as much as anyone and have loved it for 65 years.  But look around.  Imagine the despair and devastation people are facing because of the damage caused by the tornadoes this weekend.  So Bo is gone and Tank too I guess and we are at a low point with our football program.  But worst case scenario we will still play SEC football next year.  Will still be able to have great Saturday afternoons.  We will build our team back.  Others are facing much tougher problems right now and I know that all Auburn people are praying for them.

I will add that I don’t expect this to show AU in a favorable light. 

I watched and thought it did portray Auburn favorably, especially Coach Jordan.

Masons gotta go. I don't blame it all on him as the defensive talent has gone significantly down the last few years. I'm on the fence with Bobo still. It's not acceptable, but I guess I'm more understanding since our offense has been a complete joke for 3-4 years now. That was always going to be painful

Offensive play calling was horrendous.  4th quarter defensive play calling horrendous.  Players played valiantly.  Hats off to Bama but it was our game to lose........and we did.  Still, our players gave a mighty effort.

Heck of a game by Auburn. Defense played lights out. Was going to be hard to beat them with a back up QB. We gave them Hell!!

Extremely proud of the players but the play calling and late game defensive strategy killed us IMO.

Hearing bball recruits call us a basketball school makes me sick.

I understand that but truth is we have become a basketball school.  B’ball team led by a very competent balls to the wall coach and the football team....well......

Just walked out of the stadium. Mason is an idiot. Rushed 3 the entire game gave their QB 20 minutes to find open guys. Bobo is an idiot. Went away from what worked the entire 1st half & tried to force the run when it wasn’t there. Why did they go away from what was working?? All coaching. 

Completely agree!

Ain't that the GD truth but hey I really still don't remember a big collapse like this especially to Mississippi State 😡

This is a TOTAL failure.  It isn’t Just Bo. Play calling, both offensive and defensive, was off the charts stupid.  Let’s don’t blame it on the refs.  I put this squarely on the play callers.  I know it is just a game but that one hurt. Hate it for the players.
