I do too, but nothing we can do. Just bite the pillow and wait for this recruiting cycle to end.

Foster was either UGA or AU, so Saban thinks it's in his best interest to take Foster. I don't think he would care, if Foster was with FSU,
Clemson,etc...

This is a true statement.

Yea I am concerned with the recruiting class but really nothing we can do, as Prom said. Just want to see how this staff closes.

I'll refer you to The Jones post:

Plenty of people voice concern and don't get blasted.

Guess I'm in the pariah group.

I get pissed when shite goes sour, but I bounce back pretty quick. Everyone needs to vent at times.

who's getting blasted? It's just an addendum to proms post.

Some of you guys take opposing opinions of how things are going a little too seriously.

I'm concerned about this class and i am worried about the defense especially if we lose out on lawson and can't get foster back. If that can't be discussed here, then where?

If Reuben Foster decides to sign with Alabama, I will be here to display a glorious meltdown. Just giving a heads up to everyone. That might be a day to tune into the Auburn Sports Board.

Until then...

The board as whole, and this thread in particular, will continue to be held back if people can't let fuking AuburnEagle/AUFamily discussions go... it does nothing but clutter and hide actual recruiting posts.

Everyone's got their own ideas and ways of looking at things (be them pesimistic, realisitic, optimistic, etc)... no need to bash the other, IMO.

ETA: this was not necessarily directed at you, TT... just the mindset of some posters.

You don't have to know the poster to agree with them. What he said was true. Don't be a whiny little bitch about how everything is going wrong and people will actually discuss it with you.

If no one is getting blasted then why do you think you can't voice concern on this board?

You can discuss it here as long as you don't be a whiny little bitch. (Not talking about you.)

And who judges this? You? If someone wants to say the sky is falling why then he gets called a whinny bitch is beyond me, because it is quite possible that things aren't going well and this board has never been above overreactions. And simply dismissing someone becuase fo their concerns does not facilitate conversation. And yes i will stick up for those folks because i think they're a good foil to the clear skies crowd.

Again, not facilitating conversation. I guess i just don't see the problem with someone being "a whiny little bitch" and that seems to be my problem and not the boards as those folks will be pariahs.

Just seems there is a shift from the past few years to this year where you could voice concerns and be down on what the coaches/staff is doing and it didn't end with shite slinging back and forth (yes i realize i'm part of that problem right now).


Perhaps all this could be solved with a negabarner recruiting page

Alabama has 15 lb's on the roster and 1 committed prospect. Total 16.

We have 11 on roster, four of which look to be walk-ons, and 1 committed. Total (functional) 8.

If RF goes to UA he either is very confident about his level of talent, or he is not thinking it through clearly. If he doesn't come to AU that is one thing, but going to UA just makes no sense.

Yes. But I don't control the board so people can post what they want and I will continue to bitch about the bitching.

quote:

Not dismissing them because of their concerns. Dismissing them because they're letting emotions cloud their judgement. You can bash the coaching staff without thinking the sky is falling.

Difference of opinion I guess then.

I'm all for voicing concern. Voicing concern is a heck of a lot different then being a whiny little bitch.

Anyways, back to recruiting. We're not helping the problem right now.
