re: Auburn (Admins AND Gus) Fighting Sankey and SEC Office for Hugh Freeze

Agreed. Gus’ power run game and Freeze’s vertical passing game integrating would be a very dangerous thing. Thankfully they’re both unlikable so they won’t hook up hopefully.

This is the most Auburn thing ever.

They take all the players and coaches no one else will even touch.

And win Championships with them

It's embarrassing that we're even giving Freeze the time of day. It reeks of desperation. Let the records show now that I do not support this.

Bowl, you had such high hopes for this season over the summer. What happened?

Don't have to break the rules to recruit well at Auburn

Auburn is a fricking cow town

OL worse than anybody expected, run game never materialized, and Gus did Gus things with the play calling.

Bowl, I'm very disappointed in the lack of Mississippi State shittalking from you before the Outback Bowl.

I don't believe any shite I read from alleged AU insiders. Having said that, I think freeze is our best chance not to suck next season and I hope we get him. The problem is, if he does well, he gets an hc job and we are still stuck with Gus.

Should be a good game. I think State fans are underestimating Iowa. The Hawkeyes actually have a good bit of talent, but much like Auburn had a very disappointing season. Iowa Should be 11-1.

I'm interested to see how State matches up with Iowa's TEs. Iowa possibly has the top two TEs in the country. Noah Fant (39 catches, 518 yards, 7 TD) was a preseason All-American and projected top 10 draft pick, but he lost his starting job to TJ Hockenson (46 catches, 717 yards, 7 total TD) because Hockenson is one of the best blocking TEs I've ever seen. Violent blocker, absolutely relentless. Hockenson just won the Mackey Award btw. He's a red shirt sophomore and if he decides to go pro then Iowa will have two TEs picked in the 1st round.

Nate Stanley is a big strong QB with NFL potential. Considered a top 5 QB in the Big Ten. Compares to Kirk Cousins at Michigan State.


State's DL should contain Iowa's run game. Iowa will have the most well coached OL that MSU has played against all year, but Iowa's running game is by committee with no real standout and we all know how good the MSU DL is.


Iowa actually has a pretty good DL themselves and one of the most underrated defenses in the country this year. Particularly at rushing the passer and in the secondary.

Iowa is #7 in total defense, #11 in scoring defense, tied for #1 in interceptions, and #22 in sacks.

Iowa's DEs have 9.5 sacks each. SR Anthony Nelson (6'7" 270) is projected in the mid rounds.

AJ Epenesa, SO, 6'5" 275 is the real star though. 5* top 10 recruit nationally out of HS, came to Iowa because his dad played there. Already projected as a top 10 draft pick in mocks for 2020.
9.5 sacks and 15.5 tfl, 3 forced fumbles, and 1 TD on a fumble recovery.

Iowa's secondary is one of the most well coached in the country. Iowa has produced some very successful DBs recently both at the college and NFL level and that's continuing. Amani Hooker is 1st team All-Big Ten at safety. Freshmen cornerback Julius Brents has only started a few games, but ij early November was listed as a top 5 CB in all of CFB. Four DBs total with 3 or more INTs

The most exciting part of Iowa's secondary and defense IMO is a freshman CB by the name of Riley Moss. What's exciting about a freshman CB who's played in 6 games and has 2 INTs? He started 4 of those games and... He's white! He's pretty good too. Definitely a legit DB. When is the last time you saw white kid start at cornerback at a P5 level college and look good doing it?

Still Commish may not want any member school to give Freeze a job in the SEC

This would be my stance as commish. You as coach leave an SEC school you helped get penalized....you then dont get to make millions as a coach...coaching against that school. Regardless of how long the NCAA says. OM should be back to full scholly limit 25/85 and the first class back up to max should be entering jrs. If OM wants freeze back....then go ahead without limits.

See, that's level headed analysis. I want loud shite talking to State, your favorite target.

Get it done.

Maybe for basketball. I don't have it in me for football. This football season has left me extremely level headed.

I might just copy and paste that last post and make it into a thread for some level headed bowl discussion
