re: Something feels good

First time, in a very long time, that I feel like I used to. It's like a kid, 2 weeks before Christmas. I'm really looking forward to that first kickoff.

If you guys haven’t watched Golesh sit down with Chris Doering and Peter Burns of SECN for an hour then you have to go check it out. They were hanging out at his house and fishing in his pond outback chopping it up. Golesh was dropping nothing but pure gems on them.

Also check out Jordan Palmer (Carson Palmer’s youngest brother) working with Byrum Brown in private camps and what he says about Brown as well as Auburn from his visits to the Plains.

He is picking Brown to win the Heisman and says “this is Auburn’s year and nobody sees em’ coming.”

He was blown away when he told Byrum to go on vacation for a week after working so hard only to have Brown blow him up via phone sending him videos of what all he was working on while in Cabo vacationing! He said the dude is absolutely obsessed with being his absolute best and is the most humble kid he has ever known with a work ethic like no other.

We are the most cyclical team in the history of CFB

It’s our time

I don’t know how many we’ll win, and I won’t get my hopes up for that because I just don’t think we have an OL to compete, but I’m confident we will play hard with fewer mistakes, and I’m confident that if we’re ever going to be competitive again, Golesh is the guy that can get us there. I really like the cut of his jib.

that part

as anyone who’s read my posts on this forum should know, i was adamantly opposed to the Freezus hire, and not for any moral reasons - just that it was obvious that the game had passed him by and he was a below-average CFB HC when we hired him

Golesh gives the appearance of being in tune not only with the way the sport is played but with the players themselves, in a way Freezus, and Harsin before him, were not

still cautiously optimistic, given our talent limitations, but i’m looking forward to this season more than any since 2019 (although a lot of that may be to distract myself from how everything else in the world has gone to hell worse than AU football since then)

I watched some. I like Golesh and saw him locally when he came to speak. I feel he could get us back to relevancy.

But, damn! During that interview, he couldn't string together 4 words without a "like" in there. Sometimes the "likes" were back to back, "like like." I bet there were 300+ likes thrown around. Burns started with the "likes" too! It was like listening to a football conversation with guys pretending to be 15 year old girls. I couldn't make it all the way through. I hate Doering from his time at UF, but he at least sounded like an adult.

Yes, I realize I'm ridiculous. I like Golesh, someone needs to teach him how to fish his pond and I'm going to just listen to short sound bites going forward.

I actually like Gus is back in the picture to assist him in navigating the money brokers.

i have to admit, i like the fact that all the Kiffin drama is drawing everyone’s attention thus far

gives us an opportunity to fly beneath the radar for awhile
