  1. Thorne making the right decisions here will be the only way Auburn gets to 8 wins next year imo. They could not sustain drives last year and I have no reason to believe it will improve that much in 2024. If he can get first downs with his legs and keep defense off balance to get a receiver open for an explosive play then they will have better opportunities to score. Remember that long run against Georgia? That needs to happen more often.
  2. Awesome! Imo, no one beats Malcom Reed in the BBQ game but Meat Church is killer as well. Love his videos.
  3. “I wanted to go to Auburn but they didn’t have Nike and that alone is the reason I didn’t attend school there” - every 4 and 5 star that has signed with Alabama or Georgia the past 10 years
  4. Can’t wait for them to roll out some God forsaken alternative uniform. Nike today is not what it was 25-30 years ago. It’s trash.
  5. The worst part is is never had to be. The model sustained for decades and tens of millions tuned in and no one cared that players were not getting publicly paid. I certainly don’t care. That’s their business. Should they be able to accept money from whomever? Absolutely. If they don’t it’s not some crime against humanity. I love Auburn. Players and coaches come and go. It’s a developmental league. You’re there for 3-5 years. Payton Thorne gets $800K in NIL? That is absolutely radical for him good job. If he made $150K? Cool. Idc. Help Auburn win football games so you can get drafted. The conferences and universities unwillingness to adapt and pay players or create revenue sharing program through student employment led to this mess. ESPN certainly has played a vital role in destroying the sport to build NFL Jr. out of the ashes. I’m kind of over it myself and that’s sad to admit.
  6. That was pathetic. Refs didn’t help matters but our guys didn’t take Yale seriously. I had a bad feeling when it was 68-60. If we could’ve gotten up 15-17 at any point in the last 10 minutes or so we could’ve buried them but alas. Every single year a mid major absolutely cooks a P6 team in March. You think programs would plan accordingly.
  7. Yes, Cam runs a 7 on 7 league in Atlanta if I'm not mistaken.
  8. Trying to fight a 6’5 former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL MVP is hilarious
  9. They kept this game away from us for a decade over $600 for the student athlete lol
  10. That's what college football is though. ESPN is trying to replace that with a playoff which is just crazy IMO. CFB's best product is big time regular season games, and it always has been. What is the point of a casual tuning in on Saturday if they're going to play again or even a third time down the road? Football's greatest assets is its scarcity, they only play once a week and 12-13 times a year for most teams. The more games that are played the more it will get watered down. They're playing 12 regular season games, a CCG, and then 3-4 playoff games? 16-17 games? Why would you even play the regular season if you're future first rounder? This is nothing but a cash grab by ESPN. They will not lean into the March Madness model that would actually be more entertaining. They have to give auto bids for anti-trust reasons if I had to guess. If the NCAA ran it and it was a 8+8 model with no conference championship games and 11 regular season games, I'd be down for that because the regular season would still mean everything. "Doesn't matter if Auburn loses to Alabama, they should still get an at-large bid at 10-2 with the SOS" That is the attitude and mindset we're heading for and it's insane. I am a CFB purist and I think ESPN owning the postseason is a terrible idea. This is not a personal attack on you I promise but the bolded italicized part of your post is pure ESPN propaganda. They tell you that your season is over the minute you lose a game and are "out of the playoff hunt" and that could not be further from the truth. Auburn had 5 losses heading into the IB and had we rushed the passer and won we win the IB. Would our season have been worthless? You tell me. You're the Auburn fan.
  11. I know it’s a different sport, but have yall seen the Nike MLB uniforms? Goodness gracious. Absolute trash. I stand by my belief that Nike is garbage. Don’t care if the kids like it.
  12. Praying for you fifty. We love ya, buddy! War Eagle to a good man.
