Pat Nix will be on Finebaum today

I'll wait for the clip, not trying to watch more Finebaum than necessary

I agree. It's the callers than annoy the shite out of me.

Unpopular opinion: Finebaum gets a lot of unnecessary and unfounded hate from Auburn fans

He is a fantastic interviewer though

You serious Clark? In my opinion, he's really a terrible broadcaster. He knows next to nothing about football and he is as charming as a date rapist. He's a poor man's version of Jerry Springer.

Too legit to quit

He’s so boring to me. If it wasn’t for his callers, I’d probably never hear about him

His hot takes are usually garbage too.

Unpopular opinion

I can tell you for certain that PF is no friend of Auburn. He will say just enough neutral things to keep optimists optimistic. But he isn't a friendly.

Did Bo do passing drills around his ear?. Seems to me like it would be good for preparing to throw over 6' 5" defense lineman. Would also mean he would have to work on his footwork as well.

Finebaum's ears are so big he has to pick up radio waves from space.

ON BEING BO NIX' DAD DURING RECRUITING PROCESS

My wife and I, we really wanted Bo to do what was best for him. We told him several times we wanted him to go to have the experience that we had, wherever he wants to go. It doesn't have to be Auburn. He could have gone to Ohio State, Clemson, those were the final three he kinda came down to. We would have supported him and be happy any place he went. We anted him to go to where he felt like he could be his best, where he felt comfortable and where he felt like would give him the same chance to have the same experience I had at Auburn. It might not have been Auburn, and he really went and visited the other places to see and gave it a true chance, but at the end of the day I think he really felt like that he could achieve every goal that he wanted at Auburn. He felt like it was home, felt like it was family. Just I think at the end of the day Bo, it's very important to him he grows athletically, academically, socially, spiritually. He just felt like all areas he could really grow, he felt very comfortable with the coaching staff, with the people there. At the end of the day it was that comfort level of knowing that he could get everything the wanted accomplished, he could get it done. But not only that, I think at the end of the day, his love for Auburn and wanting to go there and make a mark there and leave a legacy there and carry on that tradition that, in the end, obviously, had a little bit to do with it also.

HOW WILL YOU DEAL WITH YOUR SON BEING THE STARTING QB AT AUBURN?

It's going to be different, there's no doubt. First time that I go watch him play and not being calling the plays and everything else for him. I think it's pretty well documented he and I had a really good conversations on the sideline of him wanting to run this play or that play, or let's do this or that, and it was very healthy. It was healthy for both of us. He's still that way with me now. He watched our video or came to the game last Friday night, he still had some suggestions and wanted his 2 cents to be put in. It'll be different for me, for sure, but quite honestly, I'm excited. I'm looking forward to being dad, I'm looking forward to sitting up in the stands, enjoying it, looking forward to Auburn coaches having him and coaching him and taking him to the next level, another level, and watching him continue to grow and develop. I'm really enjoying just being dad and being there to support him and encourage him, those kind of things, instead of coaching. I've got a younger son coming I get to coach, so I'm plenty busy coaching with what I'm doing here at Pinson, for sure, so it's nice to sit back and just enjoy a game and watch it and watch him play without having to worry about everything else.

ON HOW HE PLANS TO WATCH HIS SON AS FULL-TIME HIGH SCHOOL COACH:

I hope I'm awake for the game Saturday night, to be honest with you. We play Ramsay here in town in Birmingham, so we'll play Friday night and have to get all that done, get back, get everything turned in, get everything washed, get everything going. Thank goodness I have a great supporting cast with coaches and administration and great players who understand and know what's going on. We'll be on a flight first thing Saturday morning heading out, get to Dallas for the game and all, then turn around get back on Sunday ready to game plan. There will be some game planning Saturday on the airplane, or when I get to an airport or wherever I can get to a computer and watch video and stuff like that. It'll be a very busy weekend, but it's a very exciting time for my family. It's very exciting for obviously Bo and the rest of us to go watch him play. It's exciting for me and Caleb, my younger son, having Friday night football and still being part of that. So, right now there's no doubt the plate is full but wouldn't have it any other way. It's a lot of fun.

WILL YOU TRAVEL TO ALL OF BO NIX' GAMES?

The plan is to be at every game. I don't know how exactly we're going to do some of it, but the plan is going to be at every game. The SEC couldn't have done us more wrong as parents this year. Obviously going to Dallas and then Texas A&M, then Florida, then LSU. We're all over the map. Can't have one of those close games sprinkled in there with it. We've got to travel all over the place this year. Our high school schedule works with us a little bit a couple times. We're open on the week of the LSU game, some of that kind of stuff. Open after the week of the Texas A&M game. Gonna have a couple of chances to catch my breath. But definitely it's going to be a very, very busy fall. I just hope I have the opportunity to go to every game, but the plan is to try to make every game, home or away, and like I said I'm very fortunate to have a good staff here that will be able to handle some stuff Friday night late, Saturday, until I can get back on Sundays. It'll be a lot of travel, but as an SEC fan, how much better does it get than to be able to go to Texas A&M, Florida, LSU? It really doesn't get a whole lot better. Going to Arkansas. You got to travel up there. As an SEC and a football fan, it's going to be a very fun year of just going to those venues also.

MUCH EASIER FOR YOU TO BREAK DOWN FILM NOW THAN FOR YOUR DAD BECAUSE OF TECHNOLOGY:

No, it's going to be much easier for me than it was for him. Now with technology and all this it's not hard to watch film, break it down wherever you are as opposed to when I was playing high school and college ball, and he was still in high school, having to actually be in the office to be able to watch it. I definitely have the advantage there, for sure.

HOW WILL YOU FEEL WHEN YOUR SON IS ON THE FIELD FOR THE FIRST SERIES? HEART RACING?

I sure hope so. I hope I don't walk in there and think, ahh, this is no big deal. I hope I walk in there and it's a very big deal, for a lot of reasons. As a dad, you're very proud as a dad. As a former letterman, very proud of that. A lot of different reasons to be very proud and very honored that it's my son out there playing. Yeah, I would definitely think my heart will be racing pretty good from pregame on. See him come out from the very get go. I sure hope. I don't have much of a heart if it's not going pretty good and I'm not pretty excited for him and thrilled for our family. If I don't have some emotion, something's not right. I absolutely fully expect for it to be fairly emotional for me, for all of us. You think about my dad. I get emotional thinking about it. You think about my dad, all that he's been through also. He remembers back to when I was playing when he was there, and now he's been with a grandson to watch him play. It's pretty special. There's no doubt it's pretty special for all of us. To be able to do this, not only is Bo getting to start as a true freshman, first game in college football but it's even more special it's in Auburn, for our family. There's no doubt there's a lot of reasons to be emotional, to be passionate about it, to be proud and thankful for what God has given us.
