AUINSY

Shoulda woulda coulda…that’s life. I’m glad an Auburn man gets to live out his dream somewhere, even if it’s not with us. And hopefully we’ve got the right guy at the helm to make it happen sooner here rather than later.

Had Bo stayed at Auburn, he’d never be anywhere near what he’s been at Oregon…didn’t have the offensive line, receivers, play callers, coaches, or team that Oregon does. It’s apples to oranges. Glad he’s doing well and rooting for Bo and the ducks to go all the way.

It has nothing to do with me, and everything to do with Kiffin’s track record and the reality that the entire SEC west is down. A&M just fired their coach, Arkansas’ coach is on the hot seat, LSU head coach is in 2nd season, Auburn coach is in first season, Miss St’s coach just died and fired their backup. It’s a game of attrition, and it’s worked in their favor. What’s absurd is pining to “be like Ole Miss” and their ceiling being a 10-win program, which is, generationally, the best they can be.

Yes, for the one time when we self-destruct our program. Give it 2 more seasons and things will right themselves once Freeze has a recruiting class or two and Kiffin bolts for the next best thing like he always does, just ask Tennessee and USC, which are far better and greater opportunities than Ole Miss. That, also, is just fact.

So did the likes of Mark Richt and Tubberville, and neither had anything to show for it.

Haskins would know, he didn’t teach hard work, nor attracted talent. All he cared about was being “hard” and climbing stairs 😂

Then they’ll find themselves in the same position we found ourselves last weekend. That’s what they call “rat poison”. That’s why we are who we are, and they are who they are.

Shutting it down? They’re trying to show they’re a playoff team while we just came off the worst loss in program history. I think Satan and the turds put up between 50 - 70 on our behinds.

Not a bad idea…we’d likely finally be the best at something

The only way this can even be somewhat atoned for/made up for is if this makes this staff/players/team so sick they beat Bama next week and get a top-5 incoming class and go on an absolute tear in the next 5-10 years. Likelihood is we just get embarrassed, we get back to being a top 15/top 25 team, and never do anything of substance while Bama fizzles and UGA keeps racking up nattys.

Bank on it happening

I suppose we’re finally relevant since we’re 6-6 and made a bowl game we’ll likely lose, so we can earn another 6-7 losing season?

I was finally starting to tune in a minute or two here or there for the AU games. Almost did today, but had school work to do for my masters degree. Glad I didn’t. This game has added to another season of not watching for next year, not worth the time. Reading for hours on end was definitely more enjoyable than this game.

Got to this point last season…watched a total of 10-20 minutes of AU football all season this year. I’m about to start only checking in here once every week or every other week or so. It’s just who Auburn is. I can appreciate my education there, and the times in the past, but beyond that we’re just historically a top-15 football program. We’ll only ever be something better once or twice a decade.

6 TDs now in the 1st half, and I think 350+ yards

I’m just over here watching Bo beat the brakes off of the sunny devils. Apparently we suck again!

Our receivers are baaaaaad

touche...what I really meant to say was it doesn't hurt being less than an hour away when it comes to making multiple visits in a short amount of time. But yes, for whatever reason, and I think several on here have posted what it is, but we pretty much cannot land any talented players out of Phenix City. Yet...

It doesn’t hurt that it’s less than an hour away

Yeah, I always had my eyes locked on 54, and on any given play you knew the opposing QB was in trouble before the play even started. I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since he passed away 😔 RIP Q. Groves

Man I loved Groves. I think that was the first official Auburn jersey I bought was his 54.

Yeah we need to break that. Heck, even Opelika always seemed that way, at least in the mid 00’s when I was last there

Yup…paid athletes — especially if he wants to essentially spurn the home town

a good history lesson for myself today: “I ask who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers.” – George Mason, Address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 4, 1788 “A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… “To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.” – Richard Henry Lee, Federal Farmer No. 18, January 25, 1788 “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.” – James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789 “What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty …. Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.” – Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, I Annals of Congress 750, August 17, 1789 “The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.” – Samuel Adams, Massachusetts Ratifying Convention, 1788 “Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…. The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.” – Patrick Henry, Speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 5, 1778 “…the ultimate authority, wherever the derivative may be found, resides in the people alone…” – James Madison, Federalist No. 46, January 29, 1788 “No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” – Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776 “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.” – Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787 “The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.” – Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Cartwright, 5 June 1824 “What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms.” – Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, December 20, 1787 “The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” – Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776

This dude straight-robbed Auburn University. No SEC team has ever not signed a single recruit on national signing day, except for Brain Harson at Auburn. He should have been fired for cause and not been given a single penny.
