Yeah, you think team rosters have been getting paid $35M-$50M under the table prior to NIL huh?

Really? You really think that?

This I don't get. The offense has been shown to work in the SEC though. We may not have the players or coaches to execute it well enough, there is an argument for that, but the scheme itself has worked.


8-4 always, 10-2 max which I guess might be good enough for the playoffs.

I'm just looking at UGA and UA. Tennessee never beat UGA and Kirby.

We've already seen it's hard to get Olinemen for such offenses.

There's not need to go against success, we can beat UA and UGA at home and be a great program.

Is it my imagination or did defense play better today?

Deas was fine. XA lost his job regardless.

X is more dynamic but Deas is very talented as well. Deas is better in run fits but Deas isn’t close in pass rush to Atkins

Let’s see if he learned his lesson and is ready to commit to the team, or if he allows this suspension to ruin his entire season.

Auburn beat the number 1 ranked team in the country on the road without him. Hopefully a wake up moment for him

If Atkins didn't have a "come to Jesus" moment today, he is lost.

Dude needs to buy the biggest mirror all that NIL money can buy, stand in front of it for a long time until he realizes his problem is staring back at him.

I can't help but to wonder what's going thru his mind this morning. Does he realize that he really screwed up and missed out on a really big moment, or is he so immature that he's doubling down on the victimhood card?

Hopefully, he learned a painful, but valuable lesson and comes back this week with a new mindset. That dude is a stud, just needs to get right between the ears.

Golesh has super leverage when he talks to him.

You want to get your shite together and play? Because if you don’t, that’s fine. We beat the best team in the country while you were at home.

X always played hard but the rumors were he didn’t think the rules applied to him and was called out by other LBs for being late to team meetings etc. I think he can fix that pretty easily. If he so chooses.
