Biden will take care of our children. Tell NC1908 to take that college money and donate for us to get a QB like Maye.

Hang that Clemson fundraiser we did about 10 or so years ago. The University brought in over 1 billion

Is that so?

If Auburn is pushing so much coin I understand why we are getting a lululemon downtown. Should open next month


Thanks to smuphy for the tip on the lockerroom. Bought some gear that actually fits.

I think there will be more flipping than the past due to the early signing, NIL, portal era we are now in. A lot of kids picking and holding a spot while still looking around because they dont want to be left with choices of schools they really didnt want. And Im not talking about the Ryan Willams or KJ Boldens, more like the Bradley Shaw's.

My point is, I think we get some of the potential flips like Kahlil House and hopefully Waller.

Glad I could shoulder some of the burden and help pay for the lion’s share of your children’s education.

Lol Dude come on, that was just me playing around. I am very pro military and glad your kids got something more for their service. Very grateful for those who serve. My daughter was in the army and benefitted from the same. My youngest is going through interviews now to get a military academy appointment. shite I forgot to write in the right font that shows it was light hearted.

Good grief, you didn’t even take my first response as sarcasm either. You are one serious SOB. Lighten up.

I have many other family members who served and an uncle who gave his life in WWII. Oh and frick off yourself sir.

Riddick and Thompson were at Bama game Saturday night. Is the REC doing work?

Bama Online is complaining they were there to keep an eye on Ryan Williams. I think Riddick and Thompson is solid as can be to AU

Corch. IMO no one should contribute to these funds until they have set aside enough money for their own children's education and also funded their retirement so said children will not be burdened. But just my opinion.


I don't disagree with this premise for everything. But will say that most people I know waste more on bullshite then the $17 or $34 option at OTV and then are rabid fanatics about AU sports. I enjoy Auburn sports. It's a passion of mine and I feel comfortable with the investment I make. However I don't think I'm in a situation where I might be eating dog food as a 75 year old. My kids all get $25k from me at high school graduation. How they manage that is up to them. If they want to use it for education fine, If they want to save and/or invest fine. I think having to manage money in your youth instead of me and their mom handling all their finances teaches them responsible money management. My kids will be fine after my death.

Why $25k? They can give themselves a $500 a month allowance for 4 years. My assurance to them that they don't starve to death through college like I felt I was.

Rumor that PT was cheering on LSU early in the game. Who knows if it’s true but I choose to believe it is because I want it to be.

ETA: And for perspective, the recruiting section is usually pretty dead so a golf clap would be considered cheering

I'm saying at his BEST he COULD be like those guys because of their similarities in height and speed lol Deshuan and Zakoby are his college comparisons. 247 sports does the exact same thing so the reader can get an idea of what the player MIGHT develop into. I mentioned Britt and Josh Bynes not because of body type but overall production. He's talented, but I like riddicks upside more. Is this really a crazy thought? Lol
Yea kinda. I know what you mean but I'd have said something more like.

"Barber has a high probability of becoming a strong contributor but I don't think he has the upside of being a generational talent. Riddick has the athletic upside to become an All-American. We need both of them but I really don't want to miss on Riddick."

When you start comparing Barber to a guy who was a 6'2" 240 MLB defensive leader on a championship team and ended up in the NFL... it's like "well that's a hell of an upside". lol

I understand upside and very happy Riddick is gonna be at AU.

But most people’s thoughts are Barber will be ready to play before Riddick is. Riddick is a RAW athlete. Barber is a legit linebacker
