  1. What is Bruce's message at the 14:50 mark in the presser when he recognizes Auburn fans willingness to travel and says he want the SEC commissioner to recognize Auburn as one of the better basketball programs in the league.   May be reading too much into this but got the feeling Bruce didn't think Auburn basketball got the respect it should in the SEC office by Commissioner or his assistant?  Anyone read it differently or know the back story?

    When is this singing day you speak of? I would love to see the players singing for their scholarship offers. 😝 I hate it when my phone thinks it knows what I want to say better than myself.

    At this point in my life, I don't know whether to blame it on my typing, spelling, eyesight, or auto correct.

    My biggest was Cornelius Bennett.  On the Tuesday night before Wednesday signing day, he told his high school coach he was signing with Auburn and Pat Dye.  Next morning at school he was seen getting out of a big Ford car that had 2 older white men in the car also.  You know the rest of the story.

    Pat Dye spoke to our fraternity shortly after singing day that year.  He flat out said "Cornelius was bought by Alabama".  "He was committed to Auburn."

  4. Fair to think that building on the momentum of the on campus visit and the home visit so close together that if we don't get a flip soon the odds of a flip happening decrease?  Odds of a flip better if it happens this week?  FSU has last shot and current commitment.  

  5. 4 to 6 5 stars in 2024 class would have to be:

    Coleman

    Reddick

    Williams (reclass)

    Bolton

    Patterson

    Thompson

     

    These are the 5 stars at the AU UAT game.   Am I missing any other realistic 5 stars for 2024.

    Ok, based off of all my top secret intel (Pinkston and Lee), I’m making my call.

    We will add Echols, Edwin, Coleman, Williams, Solomon, McRay, Beaman, and Fox to this class.

    If this comes prediction to fruition, you will go in my book from drugged up pot smoker to prophet.  :)

  7. Mickey Zofko and Terry Henley from 1970.  1970 Auburn Alabama game was the first game I remember.  It was on the radio. 

    Still have a picture with Terry Henley in the Auburn dressing room after the 1972 Georgia Game.  I was 9 years old.  Players were beating on their wooden lockers yelling "Go to Hell Alabama Go to Hell".  Great times.

  8. David Beverly was ahead of his time as a punter. Not sure any other Auburn punter had the NFL career David Beverly did. He has been nominated several times for Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. He still has team records while playing at Green Bay in the 1970s. He had amazing hang time and accuracy (inside the 10 and to one side of the field) for his day.
