Georgia and Alabama got elite. They are 2 hours from both programs. It has choked Auburn

They might not.

NIL is the new manna and bored billionaires are the prophets leading the way to the promised land.

It's said Auburn has a $30million NIL war chest for football.

I think Golesh will get them back to respectability. Whether he gets them to championship/playoff level remains to be seen. They are definitely not going to be a team you look forward to playing with his offense.

He got his company's name on the field for the next 5 years so he got a return, but if it's true his first 5 million dollar investment paid the NIL for Cam Coleman, Jackson Arnold, and Keldrick Faulk then he probably isn't going to be any more benevolent than required.

25. We literally sold away a home game to help get that.

College football is more fun when the War Eagles have a good team.

Going to be difficult for AU and many other programs in NIL era however hopefully NIL/portal is rectified at some point. TX and OU joining the league knocked AU down a peg. They will be consistently middle of the pack in the SEC going forward.

Agreed.

Some of my favorite LSU games of all time were against Auburn.

I loved the Golesh hire.

I think they might have finally gotten it right.

Runs a nasty offense.
