Let’s just say you and I have a different standard of “something to show” and leave it at that.

Bo is still making the kind of mistakes he made at Auburn that held him back from being a great college QB....Maybe he can develop into an NFL QB,……I have my doubts.


The frick are you talking about. Nix left college as the NCAA record-holder for starts by quarterback with 61. He’s also second all-time with 17,344 career yards, fourth with 152 touchdowns, sixth with 15,352 passing yards and seventh with 1,286 completions. He was a first round draft pick and picked as the starting QB in his rookie year for a Super Bowl winning coach. The kid is a winner in every aspect and will be a great NFL QB.

A 12 win season is elite in itself. Auburn could easily go 9-3, lose to their rivals and Mizzou and that would still be considered an accomplishment for those that celebrate.

All or nothing is a surefire way to open up Saturdays for different activities.

Haters promised Bo would be selling car insurance by now. This Ducks rabbithole is just another loser firing blanks.

I’m no hater. For the record, I played for his family in high school. I wish the kid all the best. And I don’t blame him for transferring. Our coach at the time sucked and he needed to go somewhere where he could boost his draft stock. But anything short of a conference championship is a season a team has nothing to show. But I’m not telling you where to set your standards. That’s up to you.

Rock on! Auburn royally fricked that kid after he gave his heart and soul. It’s a shame for us because he should have been one of our all-time greats.


While on this topic, I have to wonder if the Bo situation had anything to do with Stan retiring from AU network. He and Pat are really good friends.

We are not Ducks fans so it doesn't matter. Bo did his job.

In happy to see Bo playing well. It is the preseason but that doesn't mean he won't see some playing time in the regular season.

I can still hear the hints of echoes past…

“Bo nix only starting because of his daddy”

“Bo is not a P5 QB”

“Bo will never be drafted”

“Bo will never play a down in the NFL”

I wonder where BLZR is? lol

He said he would send me $3k if I admitted I was wrong. So I said ok I’m wrong. Board just filled with welchers.

His wonderful expertise is missed around here I’m sure

The daddy ball comments irked me more than anything. Folks were letting getting stepped over for nepotistic promotions in their real life get to their heads in regards to AU football

Most of the main Bo haters have transitioned to the good side and I've deleted all bookmarks except for jville. His love for the backup QB is why he is an Auburn Tiger.


To this date I still think Bo's introduction to Auburn with the emotions, and tears, and sportscenter felt forced and "off" from the start. I had that same "something feels off" feeling when Byron Cowart committed.Just a weird feeling about how the events unfolded.

Anywho, Immediately Bo was put into savior mode and he wasnt ready for that kind of expectation. ESPN sensationalizing shite gets on my damn nerves.

It didn’t help that Gus said he would win a championship here…

That didn't help but in the grand scheme of things not so bad if he expected him to learn and mature to that. I'd want a guy coming in like Jeremy Johnson on NSD under the radar faxing his NLI at 6AM, works his tail off, later in his career accomplishments begin rolling, and then finish with a bang in a more organic fashion. Problem was Gus wasnt really helping Bo mature with the team as Bo didn't have the OLs or the WRs that could make Bo hit a stride

I dont have a great example but I've seen Corral throw multiple 5 int games and then grow into the offense.


Needless to say, I know nothing about Nico Iamaleava and already skeptical about this new hero.

I liked Bo, but I probably said, “doubt he’s a top 100 pick based on the Auburn tape.”

I was wrong because he worked hard and got better in a new situation.

Congratulations to Bo Nix.

Me being wrong is not unusual. Happens all the time. I’m good at it.

After reviewing the facts we have determined you are a damned lie. I will let Corch tear into you from here.

I was kind of blinded by his time here and thought he wouldn't make much of a NFL QB but I was wrong. Hopefully he has unlearned everything that happened while he was with us lol
