  1. Bo absolutely did the right thing for his career....he did not need to die on this hill we know as Auburn!  Imagine if he had hung around here....no Heisman trip....no conference championship game (win or lose)....no New Year bowl...possibly no NFL chance.  We as AU fans should be grateful for his time here and what he helped accelerate by his leaving!  Remember the Oregon and UAT games in 2019...those are losses without Bo.  He carried the team in Red Stick in 2021 and had a huge game against LSU in 2020 at home.  If he had not been injured and remained healthy in 2022 (assuming he stayed at AU), we would have won enough games to keep Harsin and we would be even further in the hole than we are now.  WDE Bo Nix!!!

  2. FSU could make a HUGE statement by winning this game. They may also have the 2018 feeling that AU had against UCF where we were not in a bowl that we wanted to be in. Hope they don’t come out flat. I’ll be anti-SEC this Bowl season except for my beloved AU Tigers!! 

  3. Soooo happy with this time slot!!!  We're going to this game; 1st since pre-COVID!  We can get there early and walk the campus before kickoff.  11 am KO makes that impossible.  Where can I find the requested dress for this game?  Orange?  Blue?  White?  Section 51.....

  4. We should have fired Harsin for cause with a reduced buyout....incompetence is a cause.

     

    I think our current staff knew the passing game was crap as early as the Samford game.  We could have run all night long but we chose to work on the passing game....and it still stunk.  I watch others teams (& think of Mike Leach) that dink and dunk then finish games with 250+ yards passing, yet we refuse to do that.  Very frustrating!

  5. Not sure what some of you wanted him and poppa Pat to say....he would have been ripped to shreds if he threw shade at Harsin on the way out! 

    We would have not broken the Baton Rouge curse in '21 without Bo.  Would not have won '19 UAT without Bo.  Would not beat the mighty Mario and Oregon in '19 without Bo.  He carried the team several times....and yes, a few times failed.  In hindsight, maybe he should have left before the '21 season started and it would have been evident then that Harsin was in over his head and not nearly as smart as many thought he was!

    Auburn also tried to get away from paying the bajillion by making up some dirty shat on him. I don’t blame him at all for not mentioning auburn. 

    Not completely sure how much was made up on him and not sure how guilty Auburn was in whatever transpired.  He had players leaving in droves, DC left for a lower paying, less prestigious job, etc.  Ex-players (with nothing to gain) were calling him out.  Auburn had the responsibility to investigate.  If there had been an abusive situation and AU not checked things out, we would be liable for any incidents that may have arisen.  After the way 2022 season went, we should have paid him half of his buyout and pressed that he was incompetent.....

    You mean when we had to choose between Finley, RA, and HG as a starting quarterback ? Haha 

    oh wait … 

    All jokes aside- walking back to the tailgate at miss state in 2021, I told my brother I wanted him fired and that he would not make it very long at AU. 
     

    Yep....that's the game I started to doubt Harsin.  No way we should have given up a 25 point lead on MSU.  Complete incompetence the rest of that game.  Coulda/shoulda/woulda won the 2021 USCe game if he had any concept of what he was doing.  But the PSU game this year....for the first time since 2012, I walked away before the game was over; I couldn't watch the 4th quarter.  Had some family things going on most of this season and didn't watch much more until he was fired.  Too painful to see my team being lead so poorly.  If Harsin had been fired after PSU, we would have made a bowl game in 2022.
