Just got an e-mail that Friday tours (including the locker room) are $30/person. But if you insist on the peeing and pooping, best guess is that your bail would run at least $5K.

Bob Chesney instantly flipped the script at UCLA, Cignetti instantly flipped the script at freaking Indiana, Eric Morris flipped the script instantly at Oklahoma State, and Auburn is the same pile of crap it has been for years. Frustrating is a severe understatement, you can clearly see what can be done in the portal era, somehow Auburn can’t figure it out.

First, I'm pretty disappointed with Auburn football this year. No getting around it, with the exception of the trip to Athens, the product on the field has been POOR. Yeah, we've been our cupcakes handily, but outside of Jawja and cupcakes, we have not looked good. Some of that is talent, and some of it is game planning and bizarre in-game decisions.

However, there is a vast gap between it CAN be done in Year One and it should be EXPECTED in Year One. I believe that Golesh thought the best answer (that is, band-aid) for Year One was bringing in players that he knew. Well, it's becoming clear that those players were at UCF and not a Power 4 school for a reason.

It's been a frustrating season to be sure, and if it does not improve a lot starting next year, I'm not sure how much longer I can justify staying in this...if it feels like drudgery and punishment, why are any fans staying?

Very sad to see a formerly elite SEC program dwelling in the basement.

Was out walking our dogs this morning and saw a middle school kid walking to school or the bus stop, face buried in his phone.

45-42 Rebel Bear, Lanshark, Squirrels.

Only reason we score a lot is that Ole Miss D is bad.

Trey and whoever the frick the other guy was basically eliminated each other from the play and the ball fell into Ricardo’s lap

One of the defenders was Tray Matthews who transferred to Auburn, sat a year (2014) under the (more sane) rules at that time and finally got his pick against Auburn in the 2015 A-Day Game. He celebrated and got flagged for it.

The other player, Josh Harvey-Clemons, transferred to Louisville and got his pick against Auburn in the season opening Chick-fil-A kick-off classic.

What a tangled web we weave. :rotflmao:

I took a double helping.

I said Jawja 40+ and Auburn no more than 6 and felt really good about that. Surprised, but thrilled.

Everyone all lubed up yet or just plannng to take it raw?

Disgusting leg humpers = 40+

Auburn <= 6

I think Comrade Golesh's best strategy might be attempting field goals as soon as/if they cross the 50.

Last time in Athens as we lost again, we walked the gauntlet with dog fans on either side as we were heading back to the car. Extremely vulgar and threatening to the extent a police office office started walking beside us. I thanked him and got a laugh when I said I was glad he did not see me in kung fu mode.

Here's the (true) story I tell:

I married into this in 2001. My first Auburn game was at UGA in 2001, and my first game at Jordan-Hare was UGA in 2002. Jawja won in 2002 in a heart breaker at the end of the game. Post-game, I was standing in a massive line of unhappy Auburn fans in the upper deck men's room. Drunk dog fan runs in, jumping around, yelling and barking. I thought, "this is about to get REAL ugly." What happened? NOTHING; I could hear urine hitting porcelain. If you did something like that in Athens as an Auburn fan, what would happen to you?

When UGA plays in Auburn, my wife and I take a bet on how long it will take one or more Jawja fans to flip us off on the trip down. We usually set the over and under at Newnan, but it has happened within 1 mile of our house (Sandy Springs area).

Nasty, nasty fans. I will pull against ND unless they are playing Jawja, and I will pull against Jawja unless they are playing Satan and his minions. This past Saturday night, I was pulling for the hurricane.

Would I have like to have seen better results this year? Yes. Do I think Comrade Golesh has made some questionable in-game calls? Yes (but what would we all have said if 4th and 1 had gone for big yards and won the game?).

OTOH, why would we expect a bunch of transfers from the University of Sun & Fun to jump into the SEC and be world beaters? In fairness to Comrade Golesh, that may have been the best band-aid available to him to help stop the bleeding, knowing that it was a stop-gap at best.

In this brave new world, if a coach is going to rebuild a program to championship contender, it may take less than the 3 to 4 year minimum it took 20 years ago. That said, a first year coach having relative success (Sumrall) should probably still be looked at as the exception than the rule with needing multiple years being closer to what should be expected.

My bigger problem is the poop show that intercollegiate athletics has become. Call me old-fashioned, but it's supposed to ge part of the student-athlete's education and and (formerly) provided invaluable life lessons. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime. What happens to his expectations for life after it's been RAINING fish for 5 years? I find that troubling.

Now, get off my lawn!
