I realize that we'd probably have had more success over the past decade had we recruited the state harder, but unfortunately the staff has decided to go after the best available players. We just have to deal with the results.

In my uneducated opinion I want Brock Purdy much more than James Foster based on film.

I liked Purdy better than the Princeton kid.

I like Foster better than Purdy just my opinion.

I'm not being a dick but I'd like to know your thoughts on why you feel that way.

Potential?
Film?
Size?
In-state preference?

There's no wrong answer so unload on me. I genuinely would like to know.

Recruiting poster.

I've debated bringing this to the thread because it's not recruiting related, but frick it, I'm doing it anyway.

So my 11 year old came home from school today (Prattville, duh) and told my wife and me that he has a "wax museum" costume project due some time in the near future.

Basically he has to dress up as a historical figure, along with his classmates, for some deal they are having.

He wanted to be Nicola Tesla but he was already taken. He was sick the day the other kids were given their selections so there were only 3 options left.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that his teacher made the picks for the kids, not the kids themselves.

So today his teacher (an Auburn grad) made his selection for him.

Who did she give him?

Adolf fricking Hitler.

Am I wrong to be pissed about this?

Who in their right mind would make a 6th grader in Alabama dress up like Hitler for an assignment?

How fricking crazy is that?

Taking a QB is a must. We don’t know what Jalen wants to do, Mack Jones is a complete unknown and before we get carried away, we’ve seen Tua play 35 minutes of meaningful football. I’m a Tua fan and the small sample is tantalizing but we still really don’t know much.

Holy shite

I don't blame you for being pissed off. Teachers shouldn't make kids dress up like mass murderers. Holy shite. Imagine if you have a flat or something on the way to school or have to go by the store. Ya'll would be viral in no time because you "let" your kid dress up as lil Hitler. Do teachers not think about this shite?


Also, did she just look at the class and think, "I bet his family has some spare swastikas laying around". This has disaster written all over it blur his face and post pics

I'm posting this because it had a happy ending.

Game of death. King Cobra tried to kill a Reticulated Python but the Python coiled and strangulated the Cobra. Both died.

My thoughts exactly.

I didn't believe him when he told me.

How anyone could possibly think this was a good idea is mind boggling to me.

I'm calling her on Monday and demanding a change. I told him he could dress up as Bear Bryant instead. He said "what if she says he wasn't an important enough historical figure" for the project and I responded with "he should be with as much Auburn arse that he whipped."
