How does the Governor of Louisiana intend to deploy the Guard into Mississippi? Is he going to have Trump federalize it and do it? He has zero authority to deploy it outside of Louisiana otherwise.


I know reading comprehension isn’t everyone’s strong suit.

That’s what I said homie.

Not over the last 3 or 4 years. I don’t think Auburn won a single sec game at home last season.

We all get to see what UF and Auburn are this weekend. Auburn has played a P5 team and got torched by a one legged DJ Lagway for over 300 yards. But they pulled out a win in a one score game for the first time in years. Nevermind they would have lost had DJ thrown it to his WR to the outside his momentum would have taken him into the end zone. But… no… he threw it to the inside making the WR turn back around to catch the ball then try and turn back around which gave the defender time to stop him. That is a game they 100% lose last year. Yet they found a way to win. Nothing was learned last week vs Southern Miss. Likewise nothings really been learned vs either of Floridas wins. I mean Jackson Arnold (lol) looked like a rockstar last year against high school teams.

Florida hasn’t faced a defense 1/100th as good as Auburns. Auburns DBs are the weak link though.

To whoever said just feed it to the RB and let him eat… ole boy will be going on a diet if you just try to run the ball. UF will have to stress the DBs to remotely give that RB a chance to run crazy.

We will see what both teams are made of in a couple days.

Either way I’m glad Auburn got Golesh. I wanted no part in the former Troy coach being Auburns coach.

Am I wrong or isn’t the Louisiana National Guard by definition off the table? But unless I’m mistaken he could send the entirety of the Louisiana State Troopers if he wanted…
Not everyone.

War Eagle!

Go Tigers!
Absolutely not. LSU is a founding member of the conference.

Zero chance it happens.

usf fans were glad to see him go



Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. That’s why they got lippy and talked mad shite…. Because they were “glad to see him go.”

I never wanted a former Troy coach to be auburns coach. Coincidentally I personally wanted Brian Hartline and said it in our threads about it.

People give you shite as a poster. I’ve pretty much agreed with most things you’ve talked about, but on this one you are just… well full of shite.
Na. Malzahn lost his mojo November 8th 2014 vs Texas A&M. He was never the same after that.

There was really a few different things that did Gus in…

The rule changes

He absolutely refused to throw intermediate passes, or to the middle of the field.

After a 1st his team always rushed to the line, did a quick snap, and ran up the middle after every single 1st down.

He changed the type of QB he recruited. He went from true DTQBs that was basically an extra RB to… QBs that were better at passing than running. Nick Marshall was a RB playing QB and we were near unstoppable in 2013 and 2014 until A&M… so he recruited passing DTQB Tyler Queen over a true DTQB who WANTED to come play in the Cam Newton offense… you may have heard of him… his name is Lamar Jackson.

He dismissed a REAL OL coach when he was hired (Jeff Grimes) and hired one who had no interest whatsoever in recruiting, JB Grimes… then forced out JB when the fans started noticing he couldn’t recruit an OL for his buddy Herb Hand who recruited a few highly rated OL who were all busts) then forced Hand out to rehire JB. Old man JB was rehired. I think this was his ultimate undoing. The last 4 LTs who played under Malzahn were a converted DE who was a literal African Prince who had never played American football, a transfer from mighty UMASS, a kid from Europe who had never taken a snap of American football prior to coming to Auburn, and a literal guard.

Lashlee seemed to just held a clipboard for Gus.

Gus’s missing link was an OL and a true DTQB.

Auburn fans just beat down to the point that there's less excitement for them?


22 consecutive home sell outs say no. Many didn’t like the move to a neutral site. It cost the Auburn community millions. They “said” it would be used to keep our roster together from last year. I seem to remember the AD saying “you will like it when Cam Coleman and Duece Knight are still on the roster next year” or something very similar. Yeah. Well… that didn’t work out and we still lost a home game.

However with a dollar buying less and less each day, prices going up, and people’s pay scale not keeping up… it’s just easier to watch the games on TV and drink a dollar beer rather than a $10 one… especially in a neutral site game.
My how far he has come from holding a clipboard for Malzahn
I mean yall do realize that had lagway thrown the ball to the outside the dude who caught its momentum would have taken him in. However because he had to turn back around to catch the ball, Winters was able to stop him.

It was the correct play call it was a bad throw.

That said that’s the kind of stuff we give up last year.
Let’s straighten up a few things.

Yes, the last time Auburn finished with a winning record was with Gus. What you left out is that Gus should have been fired many years earlier. To me he should have been fired immediately after the 2017 LSU game. He should have been let to walk after the 2017 Miracle at Jordan Hare and Kick6 rather than bending us over and going in dry. His final straw came after the 2020 season when Auburn finished 6-4 and he said “we finished with a solid record.”

Then after the former AD went rogue and hired a guy he shared a hot tub with we ended up with Bryan Harsin. Harsin may have been successful at Auburn in the 80s or early 90s but had no connect with his players… of a certain pigment… I believe one former player said something of the nature of “he from the north I understood him, I’m from the south he didn’t understand me.” Another said something along the lines of “he treated us like dogs.” Another “he wanted to win but didn’t understand players from disadvantaged backgrounds” another who was born and bred to play for Auburn, said he felt miserable and losing the fun” before becoming a Heisman finalist out west.

I don’t give a rats furry arse if Harsin won at Chris Petersons built Boise State. That attitude may have worked at Auburn decades ago but not in current day college football.

Now Freeze.

No one in the sec offices wanted Auburn to hire Freeze. Not many fans wanted it. But the AD and money men did. Freeze didn’t have the disconnect that Harsin had with the players. But he did with the sec. Last years roster SHOULD have won 9 games minimum. Bone headed calls, refusal to run the ball, and added absolutely horrendous calls made by sec officials and replay officials just all added up to Hugh appearing to start drinking and couldn’t handle the pressure cooker of playing UGA and Bama every year.

Will Golesh work out? Who knows. I hope so. I think so, but I was sure our roster last year would win 8 minimum.

But such is the life of an Auburn fan. The episode of SEC Shorts called the “Auburn fan experience.” Is absolutely spot on.

Which means. We comin… sometime. Then it’s right back to .500 for a couple years before we go on another run.
LSU is a founding member of the conference. Less than zero chance they get kicked out.

That doesn’t mean they won’t at least try to do anything as a punishment.

But those of you foaming at the mouth for LSU to be kicked out need to chill… take some shots… smoke a J… whatever you need to do to calm the F down. Because it ain’t gonna happen.
You are not wrong. But think of how well we did after Freeze was no longer in control. Sure seemed like a totally different offense to me
You don’t lose that kind of talent and not miss him. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something or lying.

As far as not being “worth” what it would have taken to keep him in my opinion you give a talent that could literally be a top 10 draft pick whatever he wants and do so with a smile.

Sure we coulda used it on OL, but did we? I’m thinking not. I don’t see where else that money went. Well his money, Ameris, Faulk, freaking Jackson Arnold, Duece, or Kalin Lee. Added with the extra added from losing a home game…

Yeah we got a few guys that could be mentioned in the same breath as Cam but they aren’t on the same level much less more more talented…. Probably not as talented combined as Cam

To me… a better question is will we miss Percy and/or Malcom than Cam.

Cam is on another level.
I’ve never been a conspiracy theorist… and even while it was happening it didn’t seem quite as bad as this video.

YouTube video

This video was released today. It’s called Auburn Football vs 2025 officiating.

I don’t want to say someone in the sec office had it out for Auburn… but I mean if you watch this video it’s difficult not to make it one of those things that make you go hmmm.

But even if that were true, that’s no excuse for the YEARS before. In 2021 we finished with a losing record for the first time since 2012… and 2022, and 2023, and 2024, and 2025.

So at this point, we absofukinlutely would take 8-4 with a smile. And have a blast doing so… we haven’t had anything to celebrate in a while.

But that video man… I don’t want to say we could of won 9 games last year… I don’t want to think Freeze found out about it during the season which is why he looked like he had aged a decade from the start till he was fired… but watching film over and over and over and over again I could see where he could just feel defeated over and over and over.

I wish I could feel that way about football again… but my last few years have destroyed that feeling for me.

My neighbor who I work with is a big LSU fan. He is all excited about this season asking me what I think we will be. All I can say is who knows? He says you are the person who I get my auburn scoop from. All I could say is well I’m hopeful but I’ll believe it when I see it. He says I thought you loved this new coach. And yea, I do, but I was convinced we were gonna go on a run last year and we finished with a losing record.

So… yeah…. I hope… but I won’t put money on anything until I see proof of concept
UAH is known for its elite programs in engineering, science, and aerospace

My daughter is a high school senior who has never made less than an A since her grades started counting and made a 27 her first time taking her ACT. She plans on enrolling in UAH after high school.

She wants to work for NASA and be a planetary scientist or an astronomer.

As much as I dislike their sports teams, they actually have very good academics.
I don’t think there is any way we bring in unc without Duke.

One of these is not like the other.

One has their number retired, the other does not. Billy Cannon’s number is retired Joe Burrow’s number is not retired.

That’s a lame arse excuse to cry (imagined) racism.

Someone next year could be promised 9 and there isn’t a damn thing Burrow could or would do about it.

He damn sure wouldn’t cry like a baby back bitch like Daniels.

frick him and his ratchet arse momma.
