Finally!

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.

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.

Praying for you fifty. We love ya, buddy! War Eagle to a good man.

He’s a great play by play guy with a wonderful voice. Better than Andy IMO :: ducks ::

Wonderful day at the ballpark. The toddler loved it as always. Great to see the bats stay alive this early. Too early to really tell but it’s an ideal way to start the season so far. Can’t wait to get back to a game.

Headed to Auburn! Looks like it might be a little chilly but I can't complain. So glad baseball is back.

These games are unwatchable when the 3’s aren’t falling. I hate this feast or famine style of basketball.

Please don’t be serious!

Great to see that record breaking Opening Day crowd!

Good call on Utah. They could really compete in this next phase of CFB if they upped their recruiting. Wish Auburn would play them. Would be an epic road trip.

I think he wins 25-30 games in 3 years and leaves for an NFL job if not offered the Michigan job by then.

Wish him the best but until UCLA's admin gets their act together it will be difficult to win there. UCLA vastly under recruits of what they're capable of. They could be a top 20 program year in and year out if they wanted.

Happy Opening Day! I will be there on Sunday. WDE.

The 1972 Iron Bowl was between Auburn and Alabama?

He wants to get back to the NFL. He interviewed for multiple jobs this offseason. He’s too bright of an offensive mind to hang it up. However, I’d be on the golf course if I had his portfolio!

He doesn’t like recruiting or fundraising all that much. He’s also spoke out about how annoying it is to talk NIL with recruits. At tOSU he can just focus on the offense and do some recruiting while not running the show.

Going all out for depreciating assets is so on brand for an athlete.

Sounds shady or even cheap but you have to work the system in times like these to protect the program. It’s why Saban waited to announce the retirement. He had to make sure the 24 class signed and enrolled.

That’s a shame!

Great hire for continuation of recruiting relationships. That’s more important at the moment. Who knows, maybe he’s a rock star in the making. You can make a name for yourself in the SEC as a DL coach.

PUT 100 ON THEM

Will they be hosting recruits next Saturday (2/17) for the Kentucky game?

Is this the first MLB game played in the state of Alabama? I’ve always said the Braves should play their 1-2 exhibition games right before the season in places like Birmingham, Charlotte, Nashville, Jackson, etc for marketing purposes.
