We should be looking at this guy. Lot of passing & running yards racked up. Kind of a Mateer like kid.

Fellas, never let your emotions get tied up in your business decisions. Looks like we are having hard discussions with some people who were overpaid for their lack of services.

Why on earth should we pay top dollar for a guy to sit on the bench and "develop" for two years.....then hit the portal after using our facilities, training, and women?

Expect more, heck Im sure most of us, off the top of our heads, can name another half dozen that will be asked to take a severe paycut or leave. And a few that will need a pay raise or they will leave. Simple example, who in their right mind thinks Xavier Atkins should be making far less than Demarcus Riddick? So Atkins gets a big raise, its a budget fellas, you gotta recoup the money from the room, what do you think will happen?

Me thinks there's going to be far less graduate with an Auburn degree.

Until at some point the smart kids learn the true value of what a life time connection can make. And this is something that should be presented along with their NIL.

And that a lot of kids need a reminder that although they're getting a windfall today, that most won't remain professional athletes as a life long career.

Arnold was sacked 33 times at Oklahoma fumbled the ball 9 times and had a bad rapport coming in. All both did was be themselves. Blame Freeze.

Beat the shite out of Oklahoma who stole what should of been the game of his life.

As he beat the shite out of them but not the referees. And as much as I dislike his season performance that day he was robbed by a low class squad of referee's who were publicly reprimanded yet remained to do malfeasance yet again and again.

Which makes Oklahoma just as much low life bastards as that other team in Crimson who should have losses attached to their season (by losses from Auburn) instead of having the ability to play for a championship.

I do. I gave Freeze the benefit of the doubt in year one. Then he decided to run it back with PT instead of signing Cam Ward. Then, he brought in Arnold. Unforgivable

I hate it for the young man.


Honestly, I never really blamed him for his qb performance. I blame the coaching for not making him better and not making a change to help him succeed if needed.

It was more convenient at the time to place the blame at the feet of Thorne then to recognize and admit that the Freeze controlled offense was an absolute fraud.

So sad to hear about his father.
