Back up, back up, back up.



You understand that players can progress from back up, to starter, correct? In fact, this is the normal progression for 95%+ of players on the field.

Keyron Crawford was a BACKUP in 2024 as a Junior. And he was a STARTER in 2025 as a Senior. Keyron Crawford did not start in front of Jalen McCleod. Why?

Like what are we even talking about here? Wommack is forever a "backup" because that's the role he had at Ole Miss...where he was playing behind one of the best Edge defenders in the conference? There is no fathomable scenario where he himself is projected to be a starter? Elite recruit Jared Smith can't be a "starter"? Why? Would you not expect a player of this caliber to progress into a starting role in year 2, and then go to the NFL in year 3? Like Keldric Faulk? Keldric Faulk didn't walk into Auburn as a "starter" LOL.

Like I said - the staff has clearly decided that they are happy with the players they have at that position. Which means that they believe they have a viable "STARTER". You are free to disagree, but your argument to date seems to be hilariously silly.

Under the “money is everything” NIL culture, there are two types of organizations; “whores” and “losers”.

They will sell every square centimeter of space they can monetize. In fact, it may be that players have spaces their reps can sell on the jersey. It will make NASCAR look pedestrian.

Every inch of the stadium will be available for sponsorship. Every play. Every second.

This is just getting started.

Yep probably not just your one liner.

(to steal)

“Welcome to Apple Field at Yellow Wood Stadium brought to you by Nike Pro Line Athletics. The current time on the Rolex Jumbotron is 330; 30 minutes before your Gatorade kickoff. Enjoy your Bud Light with some Golden Flake taters and remember to tip your NIL hostess before enjoying your newly supplied Lazy Boy backrests. The new blue grass turf is brought to you by Buffalo Wild Wings and The Unlimited Verizon Plan on which the iHeart Band will perform a rousing rendition of Beyonce's National Anthem. The Game can now be followed on ESPN air. Our opening prayer by Creflo Dollar will be available online for a small one time donation. And according to reports the cheerleaders are loving their new Lululemon tutu's. One final note anything lost today will be viewable online at Servpro/Auburn by tomorrow morning.

And with all that said, today we'll be testing the new Gemini AI game review, after the many weeks of collaboration by Google and the Birmingham SEC.


(And of course a new starting QB will require another sponsor or two....so we'll listen even longer)

That’s too funny. Doesn’t want to become the whore, just the pimp.

Keyron Crawford
Was a starter for the school he played for before transferring in.

That player that was Ahead of Wommack left right? So why didn't they try to keep him. The light very rarely comes on in someones senior year.

I said Jared Smith is a starter.

Faulk and Phillips we're buried on the depth chart and haven't done anything on the field and a week ago not a soul here would have cared if they transferred, but now they are ready to jump from not contributing to starter. I hope they do and the odds are def higher for them than Wommack.

How do we actually know Golesh is happy with that spot? For all we know he's as worried as I am.That's just a guess.

Time will tell and if I'm wrong I know I'll be called out, but I really don't think I am about this one.
