I think we can afford to wait until after spring to bring in a couple of good WRs. But we really need a solid QB, 1 true OT, and 1 OT/OG before spring, which means this weekend! Unless we strike gold at the 11th hour, we laid a significant goose egg in the portal this off-season!😢

As it stands right now, we’re a 5-7 to 7-5 team with our schedule. If we had more OL, QB, and WR talent that range could go up. As for the year 2 statements, that is about culture. You can successfully implement your culture, but still be a 6-6 team if you play 6 or 7 teams better than you. Playing @bama, @uga, TAMU, LSU, @Ole Miss, PSU, and even Arky and MSU, that may very well be the case for us. We’ll see what happens in the portal and off-season, but right now it’s a steep uphill climb.

Yeah, Wendell, Dylan, Jaylin, and Flan/Cambridge (whichever doesn’t start), all coming off the bench is ridiculous! I agree, this team is a lot more talented and deep than that 2019 team. That team got hot at just the right time. I am really hoping this team continues to grow and get better and doesn’t peak too early. If this team has a hot streak like that one did, it will take a lot more than a UVA double dribble to stop them!!!

Poor kid wanted to go to Auburn, but his parents had already cashed the check.

You’re absolutely right! This seems to be a consistent problem. Hence, JABA becoming such a common saying. I wish the PTB would just fork over tons of money to finance everything and let the guys who know what they’re doing do their thing. 🤣

I freaking love this team!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jabari looks like he is starting to develop that confidence. He played his best game last night. If you would’ve told me that Kessler only played 12 minutes, I would’ve been very nervous about our chances, but Cardwell stepped up big time! I think AU is the best team in the nation right now, and we still have plenty of room to get better! Bruce Pearl is a magician!!!!! I love that dude!!! AUAD needs to do whatever it takes to keep him here forever!!!

Lincoln Riley is the biggest reason he’s going to USC. The LA night life and California girls ($1 to Beach Boys) would be the others. USC has been irrelevant for a good while now.

Good point. Several NFL OL coaches lost their jobs this week. Maybe we find a good fit and snatch him up. 🤷‍♂️

Ok. So this Dart kid looks pretty good. Maybe we should (or already have) pursue him. Maybe CBH can use that Northwest connection to bring him to the plains!

Mike Pelton😁

bama has been very inconsistent. They have played straight up terrible D at times this year. If they’re slack at all there, we’ll put a hurting on them. I also think we have a significant advantage at the 4 and 5. I expect us to put the ball in the paint a lot, and get some midrange jumpers from Jabari. However, I am certain we will get their absolute best on Tuesday. Let’s go!

On to turd town! Let’s get another double digit win!!!!

That was a good test. We’ll grow from it.

And drew a record 900 fouls!😡

This is good for our guys. We’re going to have to win games like this in March!

This game has been frustrating for a lot of reasons. Can’t breathe on that one kid without getting called. Very Sloppy! We need Jabari to step up and be that alpha male! That 3 was a good start!

I still don’t think it’s going to happen. (I’ve been hurt too many times) But if CW does come to AU, and just so happens to announce it around 6pm on Monday, so that pregame and during the game, ESPN has to talk about AU, I will most definitely be mancrushing on CBH!!!

I was a little nervous when I noticed his 247 portal profile had him listed as 255lbs. On the WKU site he is listed at 305lbs, and said this about his 2020 season: 2020 (Jr.) | 12/12: With long-time starting right tackle Miles Pate wrapping up his career on The Hill, Brooks had large shoes to fill – and filled them very well. He started all 12 games and took 764 offensive snaps at the position, producing a PFF College’s Premium Stats 83.4 overall blocking rating in 2020, to rank second among Conference USA tackles behind Will Ulmer of Marshall, who had an 85.8 rating. His overall rating placed him 11th in FBS and his 77.5 pass blocking grade ranked tied for 41st in the nation. He will retain his junior year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And he had these accolades after his 2021 season: 2021 All-Conference USA First Team 2021 PFF College All-CUSA Third Team (Nov. 29) So, let’s go get him! War Eagle!
