My “high production value” was about the movie someone posted.

I’m fine with having the team together all of camp.

It makes sense to me.

Sorry makers, wasnt directed at you or anyone.

Just how different things are now. We go from Jang's 4 a days to.....Im gonna take the keys to your Tesla cybertruck.....

Fellas from 247 said there is a noticeable difference in the shape of the OL than beginning of spring, more muscle a lot less excess baggage. Sounds like we are set on starters there with the exception of right guard where several are getting a look.

From what I've read and seen, this assistant is having as big or bigger impact than any of the coaches.

There is a reason the top programs pay those guys as much as they do, they really are as important as any coach. They are around the players probably more than any other coach.

I stayed at a school for 5 days. Slept on a gym stage. And did 4 a days!


We went to Rock Eagle, stayed in cinder-block cabins with 10 bunkbeds a room, no a/c, and our practice uniforms only got washed once all week. Unbearably hot 3-a days.

Rode in a school bus to and from the local practice field. It sucked in the moment, but some the most vivid memories I have from high school football. Great bonding experience.

years ago, I use to take one of the offensive linemen for the Falcons fishing all the time. Great guy. The Falcons facility was near my house in Flowery Branch/


At some point in August, the program did something similar where the players had to stay at the practice facility for 10 days straight. They could not leave, go home or anything. They spend 24 hrs a day with the team.

The players really hated it.

You're my age so you may or may not remember when Falcons HQ and practice facility was right off 85 in Suwannee. They had the Falcons Hotel where the team had to stay during camp. It looked like a budget Motel 6.

For AU, I'm wondering how much they can isolate them. I get the "no girlfriends, no pets," but do they allow game consoles, do they confiscate phones to keep them off FaceTime, etc.?

Most things that contribute to greatness or achievement suck. I hope your team at least won some games

I doubt they pulled all the electronics. They want team-building not mutiny.

The Kicker was with his roommate playing EA Football 2026 on his console, so no electronics are still in play.

Yep. I watched them build that FB facility. It was 4-5 miles from my house

Our favorite hemorrhoid Joseph Goodman is back writing hit piece opinions on us again, not going to give them clicks, but I saw it on Twitter. Saying Auburn is soft for sending the players to the hotel

But it gives people a reason to grow and realize that “loafing” is no longer an excuse. They are being more than the typical collage grad. But “loafing” because of sorry coach playing more golf than coaching, is a reason to excuse loafing.

to be fair, we have been soft for years

the few clips from practice thus far give me hope that might be changing, but its way too early to tell
