She was lucky to get the sullen, sad sack of uselessness that pinned the couch to the floor the rest of the night instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted November 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Shivers is Auburn through and through. I absolutely love the guy. But it has become the norm for a graduate to want to have a different experience at another school. I wish him and Canion the very best. @Momma Wormplease tell Shaun that the Auburn family loves him and supports him in any endeavor he pursues. Always a member of the Auburn family!

McLoofus 35,182 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (And, @e808, we certainly should've come up with something better than we did. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the things that happened- and didn't happen- in that 4th quarter didn't break Bobo's the camel's back.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, like @steeleagle said, I also support the RB rotation this year. Questionable plays here or there aside, the offense (available talent) was what it was. I do wish that we could have found Worm on a swing pass in the IB. Seems like two of our three biggest plays were some version of that (if you include the Lutz play to JSS), and I wish there would have been more. God knows I counted at least 3 times he was wide open and never once received a look. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJCrawford 1,568 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Do most players who enter the portal do it fairly soon in order to have the best options available for them? Trying to determine when we will know the full extent of transfers (not coming to us but leaving us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use that last year to transfer to a small program and be "that dude". Hope he chooses somewhere he can be the feature back. He doesn't need a small program. He needs a BIG line. If he can find a program with a big line, he can have a great season. He needed a bit of a hole, he did not get that here. I hate it for him. Canion showed he could catch the ball in traffic. That is not allowed around here. Good luck to him. Not sure how well Johnson was progressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First name that came to my mind when I heard this. Has never seemed to be sold on Auburn. Could be wrong though. That’s just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the stupid 4th down play call at South Carolina, I do believe Shivers was the back and he was wide open in the flat for a sure 1st down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au302 2,669 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Good luck to all three. Smart for him to try and find somewhere that he can be a 1 or 2 back. With two talented backs coming in next year he would have had a very tough competition to hang on as the #3 back. Very real chance he could've fallen to fifth string. Wish him all the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-0 479 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I don´t blame Shivers for transferring. His role became more and more limited during his years at Auburn. I hope he ends up somewhere where his talents will be better utilized and he´ll get the ball a lot more. I could see him at UCF or somewhere similar.

Zeek 16,650 Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 I would pump the brakes on rumors of players leaving a little though. Have been reading everything posted lately by different sites and people who usually know and haven't seen any key names even mentioned. Lee Hunter has been more of a guess by fans thinking of players who haven't gotten a lot of reps compared to their ratings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
