Greg Sankey is such an embarrassment. He is one of the architects in destroying college football.

Can’t tell you how much this means to me as a former Auburn golfer. I had tears of joy. I’m pretty worn out I’ll have more to say later.

We are national champs in golf never thought I would be able to say that 54 years ago while playing for Auburn.

War Damn Golf!!

This is awesome! Auburn should be a great golf school. Man, what a way to end a disappointing athletic year. 
 

War Eagle!

Looks like we’re all tied up at 2-2-1 at the moment. I’m not able to watch right now. 

WAR DAMN!

if we pull this off it would be the ultimate revenge tour. UVA and FSU. 

I should’ve been a lawyer. Good Lord billable hours going crazy these days.

How have you not been banned for this? Totally unacceptable.

Pretty sure he said "Georgia has their guy" in an interview referencing Ryan Montgomery.

I would never count out the best recruiter and currently the most talented/powerful program in CFB who also happen to share the same state with.

There are rumors that AU has a real shot with Juju. 

I believe Freeze's recruiting has been very good, but not much different than Chizik or Gus' better years.

Landing Juju would be a different level. The #1 OVERALL player on Rivals and a perfect QB  for Freeze's system. And flipping him from Lincoln Riley?

Who knows what will happen, but this is the type of move that changes a head coach's tenure. 

 

It seems more likely that he will decommit from SoCal than actually sign. The Riley hype is falling back to earth. 
 

Fighting off Georgia and Alabama will be tough. Glad to hear we have a chance. 

Good Lord that’s awful. Praying for them.

“Broke”. 

Half the people in Broke were also in The U lol

Sammie either didn’t know the right people or didn’t know how to ask. 

Is there a projected depth chart anywhere?

I feel the same way. Still surprised we didn't bring in a transfer QB. Thorne will improve with the new surrounding cast, but he needs to be MUCH better than last season. And I don't see it happening. If he's struggling mid season, you have to try someone else. 

If I had to guess, they are saving NIL funds for next year when we’re a bit more ready to make a playoff run. Crazy that CFB teams are not building rosters like pro teams but here we are. 
 

I’m with you. Don’t be married to PT. He will be gone in January. I’m sure CFH won’t let PT hurt his program’s chances going forward. 

I like the idea. Rotate between Samford, JSU, Troy, and USA.

He should be able to recruit another #10 class AND coach at a high level. Chizik and Gus had top 10 classes half the time and they never claimed they were too busy recruiting to coach. Plus, Saban's gone. 

If Freeze isn't coaching as hard as he can in Year 2, we have hired the wrong guy. Either a non-competitive loser or someone in way over his head. 

I agree with you. I’m to the point where I can’t get excited about Thorne. If we had Georgia’s OL? Sure. But we don’t. 
 

It’s possible he has another season like he had at MSU. RPO and keeping defenses honest will determine a lot of his success. Can he tuck and run and hit those open receivers if the corners bite? That’s one way he can create explosive plays. I don’t think he can do it over the top consistently. 
 

This is a normie take but if PT is struggling mid season, do you wash your hands with the guy and give the reins to HB or whoever is next man up? They’re selling the future and it could help with showing the next QB. Idk. This is probably the most pessimistic I’ve ever been about Auburn football. That Iron Bowl did me in. 

Depends on CFH’s long term strategy. Does he think he needs another top 10 or 5 class to survive past 2025? If so then we should expect 6-7 wins because 2024 will again be a “recruit first” season. 
 

If he thinks he can coach and recruit at a high level then I think 7-8 maybe even 9 is possible. Recruiting shouldn’t be as difficult as last year as those relationships have been established. A CFH who is managing each and every game plan and who has a better understanding of his program should produce more wins.

LMAO! Remind me of how Drink’s first three years at Missouri went again? He was the ONLY P5 coach Potato Man beat without Bo.

Oh man, my sides…that was a good one.

Did you watch that game? Rofl

The spread is the most meaningless thing in all of sports. 

The tall buildings in Vegas would like a word with you. 

I think I’m more blown away that TAMU and OU are within a FG than the UGA line. OU might be the most winnable game on that list which is hard to wrap my head around right now.
 

Georgia is going to be insane this year. It wouldn’t surprise me if Auburn got blown out and we still go on to win 8 games. Auburn has not seriously been competitive in Athens in 19 years. Why would it start this year? Yes, new staff and all but this program knows that Georgia owns them. It would take an old school Auburn defensive masterpiece to beat Georgia in Athens. 
 

Hope I’m wrong. 

Our shirsey uniforms in Dixie Leage looked better than current MLB jerseys.  
 

How do you fail in such epic fashion? Crazy.

there is a difference between making it a priority and having a realistic chance of it Was 2013 the last time we beat Georgia at Georgia? 2010 for Bama? Beating two Juggernauts in away games would take a miracle. 

Miracle is a strong word but I get your point. 
 

Alabama is more likely than Georgia. Kirby and staff will never underestimate Auburn no matter how the rest of CFB perceives them. 

I want to win as many games as possible but Auburn’s #1 priority should be beating a rival and winning their two huge home games in 2024. I swore I would never have that mentality but you have to show recruits you can actually beat elite or good teams. 

Wonder who on this site is punching air right now? 🤣

Congrats Bo and War Eagle!

- Thorne did what the coaches have been wanting him to do since he arrived on campus. He operated the RPO system, made the right reads, and generally protected the football well. The few balls he did throw up for grabs went to Coleman, who showed out. It could be argued that Thorne just trusted Coleman enough to come down with those 50-50 balls. One time he did and scored. Another time, he drew a PI. 

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.

Awesome!

Imo, no one beats Malcom Reed in the BBQ game but Meat Church is killer as well. Love his videos.
