Could someone more knowledgeable than me (I’ve watched 4 AU games in 2 years) gimme some cliffs on what I should expect since I’m unaware I what time expect?
Any honest opinon would say it will be a tough season by Auburn standards.
Nix still meh?
Nix has potential, but I wouldn't expect a miracle.
Online still not jellin?
This is probably a 3 or 4 year project. And is the root of Gus' failure.
Defense?
There is talent, but the DL will not likely carry this team which is a concern.
Special teams?
At this point you should get the point. Auburn has alot of holes. Harsin seems like a solid coach, but this is a talent league. It may not matter.
Someone please tell me we are using wrs better and TEs at all??
It appears Auburn will try.

You’re right. Too many drinks I guess.
Edit: I was really responding to the down others as u said. Not the actual comments.

Lol what a comment
The guy said he’s watched 4 games in two years
I admittedly don’t follow as much as I used to due to being older and busier than I used to be. But I think there might be middle ground between keeping up with it 24/7 365 and watching 4 games in two years. Maybe.

I’ve been a huge fan even in the early jason Campbell days. I’ve endured many of whirley birds. And up the middle 3 times, punt. Repeat. I didn’t quit caring just because we weren’t good lately. It just wasn’t exciting anymore. I’ve got life and other stuff happening and purely wanted a more knowledgeable perspective. I gave the reason why. Some of you seem to lack reading comprehension. I never said I was being persecuted. What a bunch of drama queens “oh no, he didn’t pretend he was a die hard expert, we should ridicule him” that’s how a few of you sound. Internet college boards are serious business and you better watch your comments bro lol. I Remember now why this is a dying forum. Let it burn and all the soft bellied boomers can just stay in Their Facebook groups and sunshine pump. I’m getting hate for nothing other than speaking a truth that at least 10+ people lack the sense to understand and that’s about it. Old people. When will they learn.
Man I love when the only person upset calls everyone else soft and upset.
I really don’t give a shite if you care about Auburn football or not. I didn’t even down vote you. I’m just telling you why you’re getting downvoted because you asked. It also takes a lot less effort to downvote than writing that paragraph you just wrote.
Another reason you’re getting downvoted is because you’re a grown man crying about downvotes.

I dropped my TUF donation and tickets about six years ago.

“If you run into an a-hole in the morning, you ran into an a-hole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the a-hole.”
We’re less than 100 days before football. We’re beginning to hit our off-season stride here on the Aubie board. Even the lurkers (or truth speakers, as they sometimes refer to themselves as) are spiraling into text wall melts over downvotes, boomers, and Facebook sunshine pumpers

You’ve been weirdly positive lately, Luke, and it’s reminded me that you used to be this way

From what I hear, Nix is focused.

I stopped paying close attention because it was too painful. Now I'm trying to be a casual fan. Like a woman.

I may start recording day games and watching them later. Those noon and 330 kick offs save more deer in the Southeast than anything else.

I'm optimistic that the change in the culture that might take place will pay off. Less rich booster involvement in hiring a coach and his staff is a huge change.
It sounds to me like you believe everything other fanbases are saying. You realize if we hired Dabo or Urban Meyer they would find some way to convince themselves, and you, that it was a terrible hire.
Look at Hardin's win % and compare it to what other big name coaches had before getting to their SEC jobs.

Next season will mean more for the future than for the season by itself. Hopefully we get the cranes and start with the building blocks.

I think the downvote brigade is there, because the information you want is on this board, OP just didn't want to ever read through that information. I mean we have next year's recruiting visits that are ramping up in the recruiting thread, we have threads on Bo Nix, threads on just about everything you asked, you just didn't even spend the time to look at those before posting.

You sure are lashing out pretty hard to not care...

Nah you’re right. I was just a little too much in my feels for some reason. That’s my fault. I’ve already owned it. I did say 4 games in 2 years but that was a bit of an exaggeration, it’s been more surely but the magic has just been. Gone.
In all honestly I just got pissy over the one guy calling for me to be banned from the board.
The whole reason I asked for the TLDR. version IS because I don’t have time to sift through and find the info. I saw nothing wrong with that. Apparently I’m not the only one who’s lost a little love and feeling as well though.

Never been a fair weather fan. I’m just admitting I’m not excited over it. I still wear my AU stuff and tell anyone War Eagle with the same. If I was fair weather I’d left long ago and started claiming to be a fan of a better team. If we lose every game that’s not happening so you’re just wrong on that.
