re: Expect to see Duke Williams on the sideline during the Outback Bowl.

He will play

Nah. It's definitely not me.

There's been a lot of 'weird' this season. First was Nick's punishment which we never really knew until he came in for the second half vs. Arky.

Then it was Whitehead's suspensions a few weeks later which we still don't know exactly what happened and what the opinions are about it. Coaches wanted him out, but players wanted him in...ex-players wanted him out...who knows?

Then came the long process of hiring Muschamp. Was Auburn really the only job he was offered?

Now it's Duke Williams, and I don't need to mention the mystery surrounded his circumstances.

He practiced today, FWIW.

ETA: I'm in catch up mode. Worked all day.

So Gus just confirmed he's suspended for bowl but plans to return?

I really hope keeping Duke around doesn't hurt team chemistry

I had kids on my HS team that sound like the same mold. Super passionate and emotional, someone says something they don't like and they get all offended and try and pick a fight. Nobody held grudges once apologizes were said because people understood, that's just their thing.

That being said, coaches need to work hard to beat that immaturity out of a kid because even though there weren't longterm problems, there are issues at the time it happens

What is this?!?!
