I was at an AU alum gathering last night. Ronnie Brown was guest speaker. (What a great human. Very well spoken and represents AU extremely well). He attributed 2004 to the closeness of the entire team and holding each other accountable. Hard Fighting Soldiers was not just a name. They lived it every day. He, Jason and Cadillac were DRIVEN to erase the memories of starting 2003 as the #1 team in the country and losing the first two games. They felt they had something to prove. That TEAM is one of my all time favorites. 

Really missed you in 17 and 19 😎

Welcome BG. We need a uater around. 😎

Yawn….

I wish him the best

Did you notice I got a thumbs down for saying I support the success of both? Some folks indeed. 😜

BOTH are Auburn Tigers and , as such, I will be pulling for their success. Cream rises to the top. I hope they push each other to the maximum.

Are we not Discussing Bo and TJ? 

 

Asking seriously

More arguing than discussion 

Ok. Going forward on this thread...discussing the topic would be great. PLEASE!!!...

Cole , I second. I am fairly certain that Golf will agree 😉

This is literally a Bo vs TJ thread.  What do you think this thread would be about when you opened it?  Why do people get upset people are actively posting on a message board?

There is a difference between discussion and endless arguments.

Because we're 25 pages deep with a handful of the same old commentary and rebuttals.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion but when it gets personal nobody really cares anymore

Amen and Amen

Look, as much as I LOVE a good spirited argument, I think that this is the best point to leave it at. 

Bo should have had the fundamentals down but he doesn't, but he can get better.... Just now he has to get better at the fundamentals while a QB with better passing fundamentals comes in and just has to learn the offense. That's a tall task but it can happen.

TJ is a "Harsin Guy" the first of Harsin's guys. I'm just saying, if you don't think that's going to play into things while the QB he and Mike Bobo have had a chance to work with continues to make the frustrating errors and couldn't bring the outside the hashes passing offense alive during the A-Day game, then you're going to be mistaken. Finley will have to be an utter wreck not to have a greater than 50% shot at beating out Bo.

Can this put an end to this back and forth......please?

You’d be someone who went completely deaf during 2012 and 2015 and that’s just talking QBs...

Auburn fans aren’t angels by any measure 

Agreed. But saying any AU player “sucks” is a bit too much for me. To each his own.

And I’m betting once the decision is made by Harsin and Bobo it still won’t shut any of us up!!

Sad but true

One thing I know for certain about the AUFam board, I can trigger at least 3 people instantly with, "Bo Nix is a gift to Auburn football!"

 

On the other hand,  I can trigger about a dozen with "Bo Nix sucks!"

I would hope nobody would EVER say that of ANY player wearing Orange and Blue.

Man the jokes are pretty stale. Need something else to talk about. Just let Bo have the job and blame the o line and get on with it already

Cole, how’s the recovery going?

Age and cunning beats youth and running. 

Belated happy birthday, sir. 

Happy Birthday Golf!!!

I get it, but we have the capacity to produce those materials, specifically lumber related goods, and I have to believe that our domestic production will catch up, especially at those unreal prices.  There isn't a shortage of raw materials in the country, just sawmill capacity.

True. But when mills close it takes time and capital to turn it around. In Canada the government gives the timber for free. Next trip to Lowe’s or Home Depot , look for the Canadian flag on lumber and plywood. Sad

With a price tag of $92 million, I'm betting everything can be found. There is some serious price gouging going on with the cost of lumber these days.

Results of China and Canada flooding the market THEN cutting production 🙈

That's me everyday for the last 2+ decades.

Thanks to a fall-hip replacement-two knee surgeries-full permanent disability....that is pretty much my day every day. 😎

Getting mine Monday 

Well, if he committed to AU he would drop at least One star😎

As a driving PG he will be late on transition from Offense to Defense it is the other guards job to get back on D when he drives.  He is not physically strong enough to stop a bigger guard from backing him down but luckily we have a lot of shot blockers who help him there. He at times can be tough on ball handlers out front he has quick feet and hands but he is not consistent with that. At times he gets lazy and beaten out front and PG goes right by him. All players play defense at different levels during the game. Watch Flanagan he almost always plays good defense but at certain points in the game he decides it is time to go to his hard core Defense you watch him get lower and just get a look in his eye, so yes there is some conserving of energy as long when not going full bore Defense you are still playing solid aware defense.

Look how fast Pearl will pull a player for being lazy and not rotating or finding to a three point shooter.  Cooper's speed and quickness are assets on Defense when used properly his size both height and strength at this times are weaknesses. S&C whether here or in the Pro's can help with the strength height is what it is. D and lack of a consistent outside shot especially since his outside shot is not a quick release are why I think Cooper will be here next year.  I am not sure about Flanagan but if he does get advice from NBA that he is a late 1st round or early 2nd round he should go. Hopefully they will have a combine this year where they can get a true appraisal from NBA before making a decision.

Thanks. Much appreciated.
