“the starting quarterback will be Saturday. Well, I would guess that information is near or at the top of the list of things fans would like to know. quote: Do they really think coach is gonna give that information out? Maybe not. But you at least ask the question. The coach can decide how he wants to answer it. Would you prefer press conferences where the media asks 20 irrelevant questions? "Lane, how do you like Baton Rouge so far?" "Lane, have you eaten crawfish yet?" "Lane, what would you sug”

“Settles hitting the hole hard is the problem. We are a zone blocking offense where the RB has to be patient and allow the hole to open. Settles is a downhill runner suited for a power game. Our OL hasn't shown they can zone block so the LB is able to fill the hole because our guys can't combo block. Switch to a power run game like we did at the end of the Tulsa game and this offense will hum!”

“He was pumping Sumrall with Buster and Durkin for roster retention and promising results. He didn't know Sumrall absolutely wouldn't get tied to Durkin”
↳ To Mike Gittens Credit
“we at least kicked the tires, but I dont think there was ever a formal offer in place. As for Sumrall performing at this level this early, florida's roster is MILES better than ours on offense. Particularly Oline. 2/5 were Returning and one was Buster's starting center at Tech. But the deal with Sumrall was all but signed and Cohen said he absolutely had to keep Durkin and Sumrall didn't like that, he was open to keeping DJD just wanted to interview him and see how they fit together first.”

“the injury. That was not the case with Green and Weeks. There is a difference between hurt and injured. If Leavitt doesn't play vs. Kentucky then I'll worry. Until then, everything is just speculation until confirmed otherwise. quote: Now you remove Green, Weeks and a few others. That's a little more than "not ideal". What do yall call it? Pumping sunshine? How many "few others" are there? Right now there is no indication any of the primary WRs will miss the game vs Kentucky. That is also the ca”

“I get to the point at these press conferences that I feel bad for Lane and Jay Johnson. Some of the questions they asked is just plain awful. They're not creative and they ask the same thing every week.. Koki asked who the starting quarterback will be Saturday. Do they really think coach is gonna give that information out? So our competition, we'll get the heads up? I get to the point I don't even enjoy watching these every week.”

“the head lowering into their path. The rules don’t explicitly require intent. They do require (for hits on a non-defenseless player) a targeting indicator. The indicators in the rule book are: quote: • Launch. A player leaving their feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area. • A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are st”

“I like to see coaches get excited when things good happen! Coach O was the best at that and I like it! It’s ok for a coach to actually enjoy the game! It was a great call at the perfect time and it worked!! They should be excited about that!”

“I assure you there is no shortage of 6’ 5” 310lbs 18 year olds that would come to Auburn to play for some NIL.”
↳ re: Kayin Lee was the corner who snatched that interception out of Cam Colemans hands
“If Mike Washington was on this roster, we wouldnt have as many concerns about the running game. No RB on this roster is even close to his level.”
↳ Cam Settles
“i'm going to have to push back, here. the rb's just aren't getting anything done. russel has been weak his whole career. he's had some nice spots but thats it, spots. he just doesn't have it. the new guys; what are their names, again?? what i've seen this year out of the backfield is pathetic. the worst i've ever seen in a hog backfield.”

“I hope Sategna and Enaion Harris enjoyed that butt Whipping. OU is not going to a bowl this season.”

“Sure are. Look at the revenue line and ticket sales. We make a lot. Spend little. Hard to believe this isn't on purpose. Note: For those of you who want to leave the SEC, and many on here do, push that green revenue line far to the left. Then see how we compete.”

“UF is getting a ton of press this morning and yup the they’re back narrative and the pundits are putting them top 10 Now that’s of course extreme and the college football media always overreacts but they’re improved Ole Miss is not great so this was not a surprise but people need to relax in crowning teams And as always, Miami is getting criticized for its schedule so we have to win”

“I’ve definitely been uncertain.You're post was about others, not yourself. That said, there was reason for pregame confidence. As it turned out, OleMiss played far better than it did in the first two weeks. LSU played far worse. Those are the variables associated with any athletic competition. It happens. If those two teams played that same game 10 times in the same environment, LSU would win 7 of them. Instead, we have the single result on the books.”
↳ re: Lane Kiffin - “it was their Super Bowl”
“I was confident too. Not as confident as some, but I thought we would win. quote: If those two teams played that same game 10 times in the same environment, LSU would win 7 of them. Ah yes, I love it when people do this. Spout out a random opinion as if it is a fact to make yourself feel better.”
↳ re: Lane Kiffin - “it was their Super Bowl”
“Lots of if and buts. Pretty much every team in the land can say most of this stuff. It’s just modern college football. On Simmons, though by all indications a good young man, he can’t hold Chambliss’s jock. Simmons can’t run at all to speak of and he should, not could, have had like four picks last night. State’s DBs showed why they are DBs and not receivers. That said, I’d sure like to have Cayden Lee. Pretty much anybody would.”

“First, I dont blame Cam for leaving, he is on a better team with a better QB. But Cam, Texas didnt pay you millions to remain flat footed and let that small DB jump over you and snatch it out of your hands. I liked the commentator's retort. "Kayin said this is just like practice at Auburn". That was funny.”
↳ Kayin Lee was the corner who snatched that interception out of Cam Colemans hands
“I am super happy for Hank. I have wanted us to have a QB like him as they are plentiful in HS and we could focus our money on OL and RBs. I can't say there is another one I still wish was here. Maybe somehow talk Lew and Chaplin to stay. Go get a portal RB?”
↳ Hank Brown is 4 - 0 at Iowa
“Our peak season moment will likely be beating Vandy only because of a blocked punt (or squeezing by Baylor by the grace of God) and we were obliterated at home by a team that won 4 games last year. No matter what way you look at it Auburn is still a dumpster fire compared to where some competent leadership would have us. I hate to be negative but fans have to reach way to far to find positives around this program”
↳ It wasn’t pretty but
“I was contemplating bumping the "Cam Coleman" thread from late 2025 wherein multiple posters were arguing with me about Coleman's supposed "elite athleticism" and ability that we could not replace. I told you guys then: his ONLY elite skill is his red-zone jump ball ability. This is an important skill to have, but truly elite WR's dominate in multiple facets of the game. Which Cam Coleman has literally never done in what is now his 3rd season of college ball. He is not "fast". He is not strong o”

“I’ve watched it enough to know that I would give just about anything if we could swap offensive lines with Texas. Texas OL = way above average Auburn OL = way, way below average”

“Some background on Kamario / he lives in a townhome with his younger brother (a freshman) He goes home to Macon every Sunday to go to church with his Mom. His Mom visits the boys a couple times every week . His Uncle was a Ms. St Quarterback and is so proud. His Mom went to Ms. St. His grandparents (huge St fans) home was always decorated in Ms. St colors Some deep roots right there.”

“KJ needs to be a bit more aggressive taking the yards given to him by running on passing downs when the protection breaks down. He's seems reluctant to do that but can add another dimension to his game if he can be more decisive to run when there's a lot of grass in front of him. When he is decisive about it it works well for him. Seems the coach wants more of that too. It was good to see a clean game on the controllables. Penalties, turnovers, special teams. Would also like to see more of Parke”

“Home, tired. A few thoughts: Tulsa is a solid G6 team. Nothing special as such things go. Maybe the difference at QB changes them night and day, but it wasn't like they were winning the POA with any regularity. We've all seen better G6 teams, and we've all certainly seen a lot worse. The running game still needs a ton of work. The red zone offense was abysmal-- 2 of 6 (the third TD coming from outside the RZ); at least our guards sort of looked like they'd played football before? That's kinda ne”
↳ GAME THREAD: Arkansas Razorbacks (1-2, 0-1 SEC) vs Tulsa (3-0, 0-0 AAC)
“Should yes. Their defense has looked fairly decent too though. Running backs may need to break some tackles to get good rushing yards against them from what I've seen. Who knows though, maybe Arkansas offensive line will finally dominate an opponent..... They also seem pretty good at pressuring the qb.”

“In 2008, we were in year 1 of the Bobby Petrino experiment. We were 3-5 with a 4 point win over Western Illinois and a 1 point win over Louisiana Monroe. 8 points from being 0-8. Here is what the Hogs needed that day to overcome an 8-0 Tulsa team: +2 turnovers (3 for Tulsa, 1 for Hogs) AND two 4th down stops Gave up over 500 yards to Tulsa Needed a game winning kickoff return TD And what happened after that? We rolled off 30 wins in our next 42 games. Every run has to start somewhere.”
↳ A home win vs Tulsa helped to start a great run in the past
“Conventional wisdom lists three reasons for Gators to be favored: Lacy being doubtful Home field advantage Loss of focus/letdown after LSU game Lacy hurts. Good backups, but no one forces missed tackles and picks up pass-pro blocks like Lacy. Advantage Gators. Home field is usually advantage over an offense that can’t handle it. Chambliss is calmer than most in dealing with that pressure, and offense follows his lead. Minimal advantage Gators. Focus/letdown: Pete’s superpower seems to be keeping”

“Good morning, folks! For the first time this season, your Miami Hurricanes team will finally play a Saturday football game. The team is back home today at Hard Rock Stadium to play against the Central Michigan Chippewas. Head coach Mario Cristobal currently has the Hurricanes sitting at 3-0 on the season, downing Stanford, FAMU, and Wake Forest. On the opposite side of the ball, the Chippewas are led by head coach Matt Drinkall, who has his team sitting at 2-1 after defeating Colgate and...”
