I will remind everyone that thinks we cannot obtain what Georgia has that I’m only a millennial, but even I remember being up on Georgia by 4 or 5 games.

Georgia is not Bama nor Ohio State. They’re late to realizing their potential but they’re doing that now.

We can go on a run.

If fans don’t want to support NiL then I don’t want to hear them say they support the players and coaches.

That is stupid Jang and you are smarter than that.

That is like saying if you don’t contribute to the Republican Party financially, you can’t complain about the state of political affairs. Just silly.


If you are interested in giving your hard earned money to a billion dollar school so they can give it to a 18 year old kid to buy weed with, that is your choice. It is not mine. But don’t Hide behind your donation as you are more privileged because of it.

Should have listened to Dye and hired K Smart but instead they hired bubble gum.

Followed that up with tater.


Bad decisions. At least Bucky sends us back in the right direction.

I would argue that in the current state of CFB UGA is arguably better positioned than any other program in the nation. The talent in Georgia has always been high but over the last 15-20 years it has absolutely exploded. The only other states that can compare with GA are Florida, Texas, and Cali and they all have multiple in state teams competing for said talent and the Cali schools don't really care.

Our only hope is if Riley at USC, Freeman at ND, Cristobal at Miami, Fisher/Sark in Texas can get their shite together in their own states and stop letting Kirby and Saban cherry pick from all over the country. Also, we have got to get back to doing what Clemson has done getting a handful of Georgia guys every year because UGA can't take them all.

I feel like this is a shitty example. There are multiple ways to financially support the Republican Party whether it be donation to individual elections from Sheriff all the way up to Presidential elections. There are associations and initiatives as well. I donate to the NRA. That’s something I care about. I want the NRA to continue having the funds to squash all the libtard’s desires to get guns off the streets. Ammo off the streets.

There are not many financial avenues to boost our recruiting. There is NIL and NIL matters a lot to recruits, and to our coaches need it to help with their recruiting. You can choose to freeeide NIL despite being financially comfortable for whatever reason, but by free riding you’re not supporting Freeze nor Bruce. It’s an uncomfortable reality for you so get used to it.

So when do university begin requiring ticket holders to contribute to NIL to maintain their tickets?

You’re very cynical.

You’re also of the same mindset as:
1. Blockbuster execs who laughed Netflix out of their office for wanting to be their digital content provider
2. Baby Bell telephone providers who saw zero value in cellular technology
3. Blackberry failing to move away from tactile interfaces and embrace converging technologies

The landscape of college football has already changed and is never going back to the glory days. It’s essentially a professional game. Period. Full stop.

That is illegal so far. However, non affiliated Auburn fan clubs and associations can require it and should.


If I was Ross, I’d require it here.

Know why I'm not supporting NIL? I wanted to take my family to a basketball game. Go take a look what it costs to get a family of 4 into the building to see the product I had helped finance.

Supply and demand economics has nothing to do with NIL.

If there was more supply than demand then we would have a lack of interest into our program- probably from a shitty team.

Until that stupidity gets figured out, they can have it. It costs less to go watch a bunch of multimillionaires make multimillions play the same sport in my own backyard

Bruce got outbid by Tennessee last year. If you’re comfortable with that becoming a reality then you’re no different than the “eagle flied good” fans. If you can’t afford 34 a month then that’s another thing and you’re fine.

My biggest issues is the entitlement or lack of it, if people dont decide to give. Its like any other Charity, which is all the NIL is. If Auburn NIL doesnt get donations, nobody is going to be hurt from it. Just possibly a shitty football team. Maybe. Do you think TCU has gotten billions in NIL and has gotten to the Championship because of it? No

That new landscape will be adjusted soon I am sure. We all know it will. Not sure where it goes but it will not be a free for all that it is right now

I understand that some want to give and believe they are a part of it because it means so much to them. I did the same with the Fishing teams for Auburn and now UGA. I spent atleast 5K with each and that was done for business and personal reasons. I didnt do it to gain anything or to have any power because of it.

My point being, if you want to give. Do so. But in the end, you get nothing tangible for it and you never will. Its unnecessary.

The line of scrimmage battle.

RB looks decent for us. TE is kind of a sleeper bright spot on the roster.

Could that help us as we rebuild offensive line?

The JUCO Miller and Wade should plug in as starters. Stutts has played.

Will our base personnel package be:
11?
12?
13?
21?
22?

I know Cowboy can run and catch. Alston looked decent in limited action.
I hope CornontheCobb is game ready.

Brother Hugh Freeze,
Sister wine,
Mother Freedom,
Father Time.
Since Harsin committed grand theft,
It’s the only family, I’ve got left.

Your reasoning is flawed Jang. You think because you give, you are a better fan. You dont see it right now, but its ridiculous.

Nah it won’t and your vote in elections won’t matter either.

Yet we do our part anyway.

I think Auburn NIL has some more PR to do. They have to prove the donation is making a positive difference in the lives of all our athletes. A lot of fans still think of Miami boosters pouring reckless amounts money to certain recruits. Instead the narrative has to be shifted to a wholesome amount that every Auburn athlete can use as a matter of thanks for playing for Auburn. For every Tank Bigsby there are ten athletes scrapping up change to buy beer at Mama Gs like Ziemba said.

Not a better fan, but a fan willing to give a little to help Bruce and Freeze on the recruiting front.
