A friend of mine told me that was the day he painfully learned the difference between waterproof and water resistant. (Sleeted the whole game)

I don’t think Auburn fans are really very aware of where they are in the food chain these days. At best they’re now the what, 8th best program in the conference?
The last time either AU or UF won a natl championship in football was 2010. Counting that season, comparing AU and UF
UF overall record 118-91, 0-4 in SECCG, 0 NCG appearances
AU overall record 120-85, 2-1 in SECCG, 2 NCG appearances and 1 NC
AU definitely needs to step up its game. But AU is not currently looking up at Florida “on the food chain these days”

Of course, all the meddlin’ and interferein’ be happening now. Just gives new coaches getting hired now a chance to come in and make their pitch (and line up the bag$) for longer than 5 days.
re: Doesn’t the Transfer Portal Open Five Days After a New Coach is Announced?
Posted by AU6X on 12/3/25 at 7:53 am to captdalton
Doesn’t open until Jan, even for programs w coaching changes over the last few weeks.
From an on3 story from October:
“ On3 has learned the NCAA has sent guidance to schools that the portal window for when a new head coach is hired starts five days after the coach is hired, provided that occurs between January 2 and June 30.
For example, if a college football program hires a new head coach on Nov. 25, the portal would not open until Jan. 2. But if a program makes a coaching change in the spring and hires a new head coach, players will not have to wait as long as the hire is made before June 30.”

It’s likely a Big 6 that has the most wins in a season against the other Big 6, but it’s also going to be pretty rare when a Big 6 team had all of the other 5 on its schedule in a season.
Until 1992, Auburn had for decades played Ala, UTn, UF and UGA every year, but rarely played LSU (they played 8 games between the end is WW2 and SEC expansion in ‘92). Off the top of my head, AU beat those 4 in 1983. They lost UT as a permanent opponent in ‘92, and then lost UF as a permanent opponent a few years later. They did beat LSU, UF, UGA and Ala in 93, but didn’t play UT. AU beat LSU, UT (2X), UGA, and Ala in ‘04, but didn’t play UF. When AU went undefeated and won the natty in ‘10, they beat LSU, UGA and Ala, but didn’t play UT or UF (of all things, SoCar won the east that year, and Auburn beat them 2X that season).

True but it does neuter your ability to enforce it. The best they can do is make you non rehireable
Right-to-work laws have to do with unionization. Nothing to do with non-competes.

Paywalled but TT is certainly improving all around and it’s nice to have a billionaire help with it. It’s not good for CFB however because you become a league of haves/havenots
At least for football, the SEC has had a caste system of haves vs have nots for decades. I think the last non-Big 6 team to even share a championship in football was Kentucky back in the 70s.

Honest question why do the call Auburn the plains? It cant believe like the Great plains of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska so what gives?
If it really is an honest question, it’s from the Oliver Goldsmith poem The Deserted Village:

Also @Arky and @Mizzou. State will be the underdog in every SEC game. I’m guessing the O/U win total is 3.
Poor State. I mean, that’s just cruel.

it has to be Auburn. The only program to do less with more is A&M but that is a tradition there.
If this is your metric — doing less with more — Auburn is behind aTm, Gata, and Vawls by a wide margin.
The Big 6 is an objective thing.
Vawls won the SECC/Natty in 98. The number of Vawls appearances in SECC game since then — 0. Auburn has 4 since then, with 2 wins (plus a natty).
Gata last won the SECC/Natty in 2008. Auburn has 2 SECC wins since then + a Natty (and another appearance in the NCG).
Just because aTm has always underperformed doesn’t meant it isn’t still being mismanaged. Its entry into the SEC was its entre to stepping out of UT’s shadows and flourishing. It has flirted with exactly 1 SECCG appearance in 12 years.
Has Auburn been mismanaged in recent years? Yes. The Most? Not even close.

9pmE on Friday, not Saturday.

whereas, starting at 8:00 in June for a game in the south is a break for the fans attending the game.
Which would make sense until you see that the Sat start in Red Stick is 1pmC.

So the Corvallis super is a 5pm C first pitch on Friday, and the Auburn super is 8pm C first pitch. Make. It. Make. Sense.

quote:3. Auburn How do you see that with them only being 16-14 in the SEC?
Well, except for the fact AU finished 17-13.
And it It’s the series wins over also-top 8s Vandy and LSU (sweep) and probable hosts Tenner, bammer and ACC champ Ga Tech (2 games OOC).
According to BA, AU is 15-12 against current top 25. While I have no issue with saying they are the SEC’s lowest national seed team this year, AU’s 27 games against current top 25 is more than coastal (5), Oregon (7) and UNC (11) combined.

Nah. I saw Herschel and Bo both play, including H2H. I would still take Bo. I’m sure you would still take Herschel. Fine by me.
