I dont care how his career has turned out or how many schools he has transferred into...

It still GRINDS MY GEARS that SOMEONE on staff was unable to count to 5 thus wasting a season of eligibility for former Alabama Mr. Football Asa Martin thus leading to his transfer.

Martin’s situation in 2018 was a little weird, mainly because his coaches apparently burned his redshirt by accident.
Per AL.com, when Martin entered Auburn’s game against MSU, he had already played in four games for the Tigers. The NCAA recently passed a rule allowing true freshman to play in up to four games and still earn a redshirt.

AL.com spoke with Martin’s mother, Sharay Harris, and she said she’d told Auburn offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey before the game that using him against MSU would burn his redshirt year. There’s been an error on the school’s participation chart, per the site, that didn’t account for Martin having appeared in a game against Arkansas on Sept. 22:

As of Thursday afternoon, the team’s online participation chart still didn’t correctly list Martin as having played in the Arkansas game. It’s unclear if the participation error on the website was something that the coaching staff believed to be true in the weeks that followed the game on Sept. 22.

Martin also appeared in a mid-November game against Liberty. By that point, the redshirt was already burned.

Auburn coaches were apparently under the impression that before the Mississippi State game, Martin had only played in three games, not four.
“After the Mississippi State game is when another assistant coach said that he wanted to redshirt Asa,” Harris said via the newspaper. “At this point, he had played five games.”

”… I’m just blown away, because Asa and I and his dad already knew that Asa’s redshirt had already been burned in the Mississippi State game.”

This was totally unacceptable. I still get pissed when thinking about this. This was the definition of incompetence.

Our academics are not on par with Vandy.

When Saban leaves, it's going to hurt.

The rare lose/lose contract signing. Y'all spent a ton of money on Gus and we got Chad Morris.

For Arkansas, with the exception of baseball, the sports we love we are mediocre at best and often bad at. The sports we ignore we are great at.

If our women's track team suddenly becomes the hot ticket in town I predict a complete disaster for them. God hates Arkansas fans and does not want us to be happy.

(Especially) Recently we've done a pretty shite job with the QB position. It's either failing to recruit the best in state kids or failing to properly utilize the kids when they're on the roster.

I'm thinking that changes pretty soon.

Whenever LSU wins a big game and the local tv cuts to the local bar and every drunk idiot starts chanting “ LSU “ over and over again I cringe just a little. Can we not elevate that chant a bit to maybe geaux Tigers or something a bit less elementary? That’s all I got because we are the most awesomely awesome.

I’m glad I’m just a sidewalk fan. Auburn is rural af.

I’m not kidding and I’m not flaming. But you guys HAVE to end that 1930s era shite. It’s the single most cringeworthy thing in CFB. Better yet, don’t end it. Never end it. Now flaming. Can’t not flame that shite.
