Earlier in this very thread is perhaps the first time I’ve contemplated that he’s trolling and doesn’t actually believe a word of what he posts.

I’ve always thought he was just obstinate, but now I’m starting to wonder if it’s even real.

Look at the Mock Drafts for 2022. Saw where he was as high at a Top 15 pick with one. Again, he has played for 3 OCs and has started every game since arriving. He threw for almost 2500 yards last year in a very dysfunctional Offenc


Wait, you are telling me there is a mock draft that has Bo Nix as the #15 pick next April (2022 NFL draft). What Mock Draft is that? I don't see that guy will be in the mock draft business too long if he is saying Bo Nix at #15 in the 2022 NFL draft.

If Bo can match his actual play up with his arrogance then he should be good to go. He looks the part.

After reading some of these posts, I’m convince that Bo has the Heisman wrapped up

It wouldn't be fair to asked for a link because IP is always right. If you disagree with him you're dumb Bammer. If you post stats it's not really the whole story, everyone conspired to keep Bo Nix a chitty QB that's the only correct answer.

Can you see my point. Nobody is saying anything remotely like that. But if he has a solid year, his plan has always been to leave after his Jr year and take his chances. With a normal redshirt year, that would have been after 2022.

To be fair that he's scratching the surface of day 1 in some mocks is a bit of a miracle given the situation.

Just hope the coaching change pays off for him. Few question his work ethic and I sure as hell won't. Hell I respect any athlete willing to go out there and take weekly arse whipping for our entertainment.

It was posted on here and I think you even commented on it. I am sure one of your researchers can find it.

Nix had a good Spring
He didn't crap the bed, but his A-Day performance wasn't encouraging at all. His showing in that game had nothing to do with new scheme.

We will be 7-5 at best this fall with Nix as QB. I'm glad Harsin is looking around. You can call it 'competition' if you want.

AU has had walk-ons who have been A-Day MVPs over the years and never see the field the rest of their careers. Only fools and idiots judge a team based on a Spring Game.

If the boosters were running things at Auburn Harsin wouldn't have gotten the job. So, Finley may have a shot if he goes there. He'd be taking a gamble on Harsin. Personally, I think he should look at Texas or A&M.

I'm getting pretty sick and tired of reading thru this thread and upvoting SoG's posts and downvoting yours.

Do better.

Join the cult , sounds like you areclose.

They questioned Nix being in the Mock Draft and the got mad when I got them links. You are not too far from them if you downvote that.

If A Day had any bearing on an Auburn quarterbacks potential, Jeremy Johnson wouldn’t have won MVP in 2015.

Judging Bo Nix by the 2021 A Day game is just as stupid.

TJ Finley is a good young man.


I’m hoping he will be successful wherever he goes.


I’m hoping he lands in a spot that will give him the best opportunity to succeed.

I don’t doubt that this has always been “his plan to leave after his Jr year”, I don’t doubt that he may have always thought he was going to be good enough to enter the draft after his Jr year.

The truth is the guy has a lot of work to do and he’s basically going to have a sub par SEC level online again, WRs with any experience, an entirely new coaching staff and he’ll have Tank. Gotta feel some compassion for the guy.

First of all, I do not think they will have a sub par SEC line again. As bad as the line has been, they still won 9 games in 2019 and went 6-4 in the SEC last year. Nix still almost threw for 2400 yards and Tank ran for over 800 yards while only starting in 6 games. That wasn't with the 3-4 OOC give me games in a normal year. So, yes the OL had issues, but it was at least an average OL.

The fact that there is a new HC and a new OC is a plus for Nix. He will have many more options in the passing game this year and he will not feel the pressure to make plays alone.
