This right here. I saw a tweet from someone the day of the Florida game that said his favorite bet of the week was UF over AU. The only note he had was fade t...

I think it's pretty obvious when we get a big lead at home in the 2nd half, which we almost always do, the refs start giving the other team the benefit of the doubt on nearly every call to keep the game from getting totally out of hand. ...

I don't think it's a coincidence that all of the top ranked teams currently are playing outside of the SEC and the Big 12, the two best conferences by far this season. They just don't have nearly as many of these really tough in conference road games and are stacking up more wins because of it. The ...

It's honestly a good plan, and Hugh Freeze has been pretty honest about it. Hugh believes in high school recruiting and that pays off the most in the long run. Consistently recruiting top 5 classes year after year is what builds championship rosters and makes you an elite team year in and year out. ...

The good news is, I'm pretty sure I saw a stat this week that we are the #1 defense in the country at points allowed in the paint. Our defense has always been solid under Bruce, but it really feels like it is on another level this year. We aren't just creating turnovers, but we are defending at ever...

That's fair, I think really good defensive teams and good rebounding teams are always going to be tough for us. That is what A&M did to us at home and that was a battle. Could definitely see something similar against Ole Miss or Miss State, especially on the road if we have an off night shooting. As...

It would be a real blow to not at least go 2-1 with how well the team is playing currently. I fully expect the to get the teams best effort at home against Ole Miss and then obviously against Bama. And based on what I have seen from Miss State their last two games against Bama and Kentucky we should...

I don't think it is a good idea to compare Hugh Freeze and this Auburn team to Nick Saban and Alabama. And we are not in a position to go 12-0 next year. But there are plenty of examples of coaches starting off their first year with a below average season and working up from there, and the level of ...

It was fun watching this team get challenged for the first time in a month, against a potential tournament team, and finding a way to win. The team needed this and should learn and grow from it.
The best thing the team does offensively is share the ball and not turn it over. We had 4 turnovers i...

Fair enough. I'm really not trying to die on a hill defending Roberts. If we can actually upgrade at that coordinator position, and get a guy in that can recruit and keep the momentum...

I don’t get all of the Roberts hate. If he is really a pain in the arse to work with and players and other coaches don’t like him, that’s one thing. His results aren’t necessarily worth the headache. But I did not think the defense was an issue this year. We got after the quarterback and forced a ton...

re: Portal Action- OT Percy Lewis to Auburn! Cowboy Returns!!
Posted by ATLtiger12 on 12/6/23 at 11:30 am
I think it is pretty obvious that the portal can be great for adding depth and filling key holes, but you cannot expect to rebuild a whole roster out of the portal and the #1 priority has and always will be HS recruiting.
There is also a large piece to all of this which is managing your NIL budg...

Or is it the Clemson/Miss State game in 2010? Or Miss State game in 2013?
Not saying we will be anywhere near that this year, and your comparison is probably more accurate. But it’s a new team and staff and I fully believe we will get better as the year goes on. Sometimes you just have to find a ...

I read the article and it actually does not include transfers in the BCR this year. Bud said he is still evaluating it and needs more data in the future. At the bottom of the article it actually shows what the ratio would look like if transfers were included and Auburn actually drops out falling fro...
re: Old Recruiting Thread: RIP insiders
Posted by ATLtiger12 on 5/10/23 at 2:15 pm
I don't think there is any doubt that there was more talent on the 2013 roster from prior recruiting classes and the odds of Auburn realistically competing for any championships next year are very low. Having to hit on that many transfers at key positions across the team, and having everyone gel tog...
