Well he is moving the goalposts for one.

As of December 7th he was confident that his Bama sources were confident that PT flips.

Now he is saying he just wanted us to be cautiously optimistic. GMAB

That's two different things.

Bama will always make a late push. They literally tried to give Roc Thomas a ride home from school. Apparently Stidham predicted a flip based on that late push alone. That is retarded. And as you have pointed out yourself: he cannot keep his story straight regarding his source(es)


As for Chex vs. Stidham. They are polar opposites. However Stidham only acted like a wet blanket because we were hyped the freeze five was visiting the basketball game. And stidham does this shite in every sport.


Also, on that note, nobody predicted Riddick to Auburn to our knowledge before Chex did.

So Chex has a source, and his news are like you said, pleasant. We dont need O&B glasses. When Chex goes too far prognosticating we can always ban bet his arse!

He deserves the hate for trying to throw a wet blanket on Auburn's success yesterday.
It was a great day for the whole program and one of the best recruiting days since I can remember.
Nobody needs a dooming a-hole like that around when it is time to celebrate.

I like Stidham. He’s consistent and can take the heat he brings upon himself. Chex catches shite all the time, part of the deal if you’re an instigator

It has to be all in fun. Its all still a debate no matter how hard you get into it. It all just add some fun to the boards.

Because he is an Eeyore (which is fine) but even when a positive happens, he still tries to double down a spin it as a negative.

“My source says Perry is gonna flip. Watch out.”

Perry signs with AU after being committed for months. “See, my source was so spot on accurate. We only signed Perry because he can’t read and thought it was the Bama NLI. You all are a bunch of orange and blue glass wearing barner d-bags.”

He’s relentlessly consistent even though he’s wrong

I really don’t understand the hate on Stidham vs others here like Chex. The only reason I can come up with is some of his info is negative. Which obviously gets met with hostility. But there’s no reason to believe someone like Chex (who only gets shite from Stidham and Corch) vs believing someone like Stidham. Perry got pushed by Alabama. How much? We won’t know. When? We won’t know. Ryan Williams? Was he always going to flip? Was he never going to flip? Even when he announces we never know the true story. There’s no way to hold anyone accountable on the close calls so they’re all the same.


Some message boards have fans full of homers that get upset anytime anything is said that’s not positive. This is one of those message boards. I get it, it is what it is.

This is a great class! #7 and if we land Ryan Williams.. it should bump us to Top 5?

Listening to CHF presser, who were the 3 or so transfer guys we missed out on?


Lastly… can y’all take the bickering to direct messages; instead of gumming up the threads? It’s exhausting going through pages and pages of it, wanting to discuss our great day!

I think they are the same poster. Stidham is the yin and Chex is the yang.

My issue is that he lets rival fanbases and the norms of the recruiting process get to him. We all know that when you sign a five star you're gonna have to fight to keep him, but stidham just runs and bleeds on this board like the sky is falling (sometimes). He has that right, and I agree that some people sunshine pump a bit too hard, but I can't find the negative or lack of sunshine about signing one of our Greatest classes after being ranked 50th in recruiting when potato dude left. Respect to him for his consistency though. Lol The response the board gives him has made me laugh several times

Just went back and looked at that class. Very few panned out. Crazy.

In a weird, ironic twist, the player that ended up being the best from that class was Braden Smith...an O-lineman.

I really am not sure why this board gets so upset that it was a battle to keep Perry Thompson. Freeze confirmed it in his press conference when the reporter asked was it hard to hold on to any commits and he went on and talked about there being a difficult late night battle that we won.

Keeping Thompson was amazing and a difficult accomplishment. The sunshine and rainbow crowd (95% of this board) has orange and blue blinders on and can’t acknowledge that even when the head coach alludes to it.

Agree on your last point. These threads are hard to follow and get unbearable with people overtaking them over some internet message board beef.

This class is on par with what Gus Malzahn signed in his 2014 class, FYI. It’s a very good class but let’s not go over the top.

2010 was one of our greatest classes of all time dating back to a few of the Tuberville classes and then the Pat Dye era.

This place isn't in the same universe as boards like AUFamily or ITAT (if either are still around) when it comes to sunshine pumpers and bias.
