  1. yahoo.com Damari Alston discusses ‘different’ approach to season Taylor Jones ~2 minutes Although Auburn’s running back situation has become more clear with the return of Jarquez Hunter to the roster, that has not hindered the overall goals of Damari Alston. Alston rushed for 85 yards on 14 carries during his freshman season in 2022 and hopes to become a bigger factor in the run game this season. “I want to have a good rushing season. My goal is 1,000 yards. I want to do well in the receiving game as well,” Alston said this week. “I want to do anything I can do to take the team to an SEC Championship, and I want to win big games so we can bring Auburn to how it was.” Alston will compete with Hunter, as well as USF transfer Brian Battie, for touches this season. Hunter is expected to be the premier back after taking on the backseat role to Tank Bigsby over the last two seasons. Battie is a key returner but rushed for over 1,000 yards last season. In order to stand out, Alston is changing up his approach to the game. “My mentality coming into this next season. The offseason, I have to be different if I’m going to reach my goals,” Alston said. “I have to do things that other people aren’t doing. I have to take the next step. I’m doing what’s required, but I’m doing extra. That’s how I roll. I have to be different. I want to go to the league, be great in the league. That takes a next-level drive. That’s how I approach this offseason.” The Tigers’ running back crew will be the most experienced unit on offense heading into the season and will be relied upon heavily.

  2. Unclaimed National Championships What is it going to take for Auburn to claim its National Championships? Given the systems in place prior to the playoff era, Auburn inarguably has claims to the '83, '93, and '04 titles at a minimum, and arguably some others as well. Why won't Auburn claim them, and what can fans do to encourage them to do so? Auburn is in the process of rehabbing its image after a decade of mediocrity, and this sort of thing could really help boost its prestige to recruits. Sure, there would be a few years of ribbing from rival fans, but who honestly cares? Those seasons deserve to be talked about by more than just die hard Auburn fans. what say yee folks?
  3. Open in app or online Little Donny Four-Indictments ****** around in Georgia and now he’s finding out mob boss Donald Trump and 18 of his criminal co-conspirators have been indicted on a total of 41 counts Jeff Tiedrich Aug 15 Share holy s***, life just got a whole lot worse for the quadrice-indicted twice-impeached popular-vote-losing insurrection-leading judge-threatening witness-tampering serial-sexual-predating draft-dodging casino-bankrupting daughter-perving hush-money-paying real-estate-scamming ketchup-hurling justice-obstructing classified-war-plan-thieving weather-map-defacing paper-towel-flinging tax-cheating evidence-destroying charity-defrauding money-laundering fluorescent tangerine jackass currently hiding under the bed in his s***ty New Jersey golf-motel-and-ex-wife-cemetery. mob boss Little Donny ****face and 18 of his criminal co-conspirators have been indicted on a total of 41 counts for engaging in racketeering in an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Upgrade to paid the list of Trump’s Georgia co-conspirators reads like a who’s-who of America’s most-unctuous shitheels. Rudy Giuliani. John Eastman. Sidney Powell. Mark Meadows. Jeffrey Clark. Kenneth Chesebro. Jenna Ellis. all of them had their fingers in the election ****ery pie and now all of them are sinking in a legal sargasso of s***. the 13 charges that apply specifically to Trump include racketeering, forgery, election fraud, false statements, perjury, and soliciting public officers to violate their oaths. the most serious charge is the first one: racketeering, or, more specifically, violation of the Georgia RICO Act. a good explainer of Georgia’s RICO laws can be found here. but let’s skip ahead to the part you all want to know about. here’s the beauty part: there is no get-out-of-deep-s***-free card in Georgia. Republican Governor Brian Kemp has no power to summarily pardon Trump and send him on his merry way. and it gets better: Trump can’t even apply for a pardon until 5 years after he completes his sentence. don’t you hate it when being a no-mercy tough-on-crime Republican comes back to bite you on the ass? hey, let’s check in with the email lady and see how she’s doing. yeah, us too, Hillary. us too. here’s a thought: Lindsey Graham skated. the indictment does not mention him at all. did he flip on Donald? I can’t repeat this enough: none of this had to happen. none of it. Donny could have taken his loss like a mature adult and ****** off and gone home. he could have quietly returned the documents he stole, and right now he could be golfing and laundering Saudi money and fleecing his gullilble worshipers and getting his stupid face on Fox News — and not worrying about spending the rest of his miserable life sinking deeper into a big ******* legal hell of his own making. Donald, if you’re out there reading this, can I ask a personal favor? can you please ******* learn how to spell indicted? an arrest warrant has been issued for Donald Trump. he has been given until August 25th to turn himself in. there will be a mug shot and fingerprints. and — unlike Manhattan and Florida and DC — the whole arraignment will be televised. settle in and pass the popcorn. this is going to get good. everyone is entitled to my own opinion is a reader-supported publication.

  4. they were warned and did not believe it or care. now when you post the latest trump indictment they raise hell about me being deranged but he IS a serious threat to this country.
  5. this biden fixation and all the other thing that kept Republicans super ******* outraged this weekend was that Joe Biden spent a few days at a beach house while Hawaiian wildfires burned. never mind that Biden is already back in the White House today. never mind that Biden has already released disaster funds. never mind that FEMA is already on the ground in Hawaii, doing its job. just stay angry that Joe Biden took a couple of days off. never mind that, during the early days of covid, Donald Trump told everyone that it was going to disappear “like magic” and then went golfing for six weeks while thousands of Americans sickened and died.
  6. i admit i am always shocked when someone teases me on here because it can be fast and furious. but i have been trying to be nicer. well except for trump. i have been trying to forgive him for stealing from a wounded vets charity but i just cannot do it. i love and respect wounded vets with a passion. but thanx for joking around. i am a joker offline and way more laid back than folks think i am am.
  7. i love watching him on tape. he is so honest with the players. you made the right call on freeze for a fact. hell i want to suit up and be a waterboy myself.............
  8. you believe a single word he says? i would bet my house he is lying............

  10. yahoo.com Trump Announces Plans to Finally Go Ahead and Prove Election Was Rigged Ryan Bort ~3 minutes Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicted Donald Trump on Monday for working to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, just weeks after Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted him on federal charges for his efforts to subvert the democratic process nationwide. It all seems pretty damning, but the wily former president has an ace up his sleeve: He going to simply prove the election was rigged and convince Willis and Smith to drop the charges. “A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey,” Trump announced Tuesday morning on Truth Social. “Based on the results of this CONCLUSIVE Report, all charges should be dropped against me & others – There will be a complete EXONERATION! They never went after those that Rigged the Election. They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!” The post came hours after Trump railed late at night against “an out of control and very corrupt” Willis. “Why didn’t they Indict 2.5 years ago?” he griped. “Because they wanted to do it right in the middle of my political campaign. Witch Hunt!” Willis didn’t indict Trump two-and-a-half years ago because an investigation this sprawling takes a long time to actually complete. It may make more sense to ask why Trump has waited so long to prove the election was stolen. It must take just as long to complete such a “Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT,” one that must be chock-full of new information all of the other investigative bodies who worked to uncover proof of fraud were unable to obtain. “WITCH HUNT!” the former president added in a separate post after the announcement.
  11. why are some folks still trump fans and supporters? they are not all stupid. but the fact trump committed treason and folks would still vote for him if this happens or that happens. it sounds like an excuse to cover their vote for trump. why do they not care do you think? is this their way of shooting folks the bird so to speak. i will never understand it,
  12. yahoo.com Hugh Freeze has assembled one of the most impressive staffs in college football Taylor Jones 2–3 minutes On paper, the coaching staff that Hugh Freeze assembled appears to be top-notch. While this staff has yet to coach a game on the field, the experience that they bring to the Plains is deemed worthy of honor. FootballScoop.com has ranked every “new” staff in college football and has listed Auburn at No. 3 on the list. Football Scoop’s Doug Samuels highlighted the hires of Philip Montgomery and Ron Roberts but gives Montgomery the nod as Freeze’s “biggest hire” due to the electric offense that the two offensive masterminds can potentially produce. I think one of the most intriguing scheme storylines in college football is what the Auburn offense will look like with the combination of Freeze and Montgomery. One thing is certain – the new-look Auburn offense will definitely push the tempo. Freeze has had explosive and efficient offenses wherever he has been, and Montgomery’s best offenses have stretched the field vertically about as good as any college football teams in recent memory with gap scheme runs dominating on the ground. How can this coaching staff reach its full potential? It starts on defense. The pendulum in the SEC has swung away from solid defensive play and is now trending toward high-power offenses. Roberts and the Tigers’ defense must find a way to limit the conference’s top offenses. To win, and compete for national titles like their fan base expects, Ron Roberts and Auburn are going to have to get the defense to play at a higher level than the previous staff, as the offensive gauntlet of the SEC West should be upgraded in a number of areas. Auburn’s staff is ahead of Nebraska, Purdue, and Colorado in Football Scoops’ rankings.

  14. yahoo.com A look at the 19 people charged in the Georgia indictment connected to Trump election scheme KATE BRUMBACK and JONATHAN J. COOPER 9–11 minutes ATLANTA (AP) — Donald Trump and 18 other associates were charged Monday in Georgia as part of a sweeping indictment alleging they schemed to illegally overturn his 2020 election loss and stop the peaceful transition of power. The indictment, brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, follows an investigation that lasted more than two years and marks the fourth criminal case brought against the former president. Those charged in Monday’s indictment face a slew of charges, including racketeering, violating the oath of a public officer, forgery, false statements and other offenses. Prosecutors say they must all surrender to authorities by Aug. 25. Here’s a look at the 19 defendants charged in the indictment: DONALD TRUMP: Then-President Donald Trump fixated on Georgia after the 2020 general election, refusing to accept his narrow loss in the state and making unfounded assertions of widespread election fraud there. He also called top state officials, including Gov. Brian Kemp, to urge them to find a way to reverse his loss in the state. In a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Trump suggested the state’s top elections official could help “find” the votes needed for him to win the state. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis opened an investigation into possible illegal attempts to influence the election shortly after a recording of that call was made public. RUDY GIULIANI: During several legislative hearings at the Georgia Capitol in December 2020, the former New York mayor and Trump attorney promoted unsupported allegations of widespread election fraud in Georgia. Prosecutors have said Rudy Giuliani was also involved a plan to have 16 Georgia Republicans serve as fake electors, falsely swearing that Trump had won the 2020 presidential election and declaring themselves the state’s “duly elected and qualified” electors. JOHN EASTMAN: A former dean of Chapman University law school in Southern California, John Eastman, one of Trump’s lawyers, was deeply involved in some of his efforts to remain in power after the 2020 election. He wrote a memo arguing that Trump could remain in power if then-Vice President Mike Pence overturned the results of the election during a joint session of Congress where electoral votes would be counted. That plan included putting in place a slate of “alternate” electors in seven battleground states, including Georgia, who would falsely certify that Trump had won their states. MARK MEADOWS: Trump’s chief of staff visited Cobb County, in the Atlanta suburbs, while state investigators were conducting an audit of the signatures on absentee ballot envelopes in December 2020. Mark Meadows obtained the phone number of the chief investigator for the secretary of state’s office, Frances Watson, and passed it along to Trump, who called her. He also participated in the Jan. 2, 2021, phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. SIDNEY POWELL: A lawyer and staunch Trump ally, Sidney Powell was part of a group who met at the South Carolina home of conservative attorney Lin Wood in November 2020 “for the purpose of exploring options to influence the results of the November 2020 elections in Georgia and elsewhere,” prosecutors have said. Wood, who’s licensed in Georgia, said Powell asked him to help find Georgia residents to serve as plaintiffs in lawsuits contesting the state’s election results. Additionally, emails and documents obtained through subpoenas in an unrelated lawsuit have shown that Powell was involved in arranging for a computer forensics team to travel to rural Coffee County, about 200 miles southeast of Atlanta, to copy data and software from elections equipment there in January 2021. KENNETH CHESEBRO: Prosecutors have said Kenneth Chesebro, an attorney, worked with Georgia Republicans in the weeks after the November 2020 election at the direction of Trump’s campaign. Chesebro worked on the coordination and execution of a plan to have 16 Georgia Republicans sign a certificate declaring falsely that Trump won and declaring themselves the state’s “duly elected and qualified” electors. JEFFREY CLARK: A U.S. Justice Department official who championed Trump’s false claims of election fraud, Jeffrey Clark presented colleagues with a draft letter pushing Georgia officials to convene a special legislative session on the election results, according to testimony before the U.S. House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Clark wanted the letter sent, but Justice Department superiors refused. JENNA ELLIS: The lawyer appeared with Rudy Giuliani at a Dec. 3, 2020, hearing hosted by state Republican lawmakers at the Georgia Capitol during which false allegations of election fraud were made. Jenna Ellis also wrote at least two legal memos to Trump and his attorneys advising that Pence should “disregard certified electoral college votes from Georgia and other purportedly ‘contested’ states” when Congress met to certify the election results on Jan. 6, 2021, prosecutors have said. RAY SMITH: A Georgia-based lawyer, Ray Smith was involved in multiple lawsuits challenging the results of the 2020 election in Georgia. He also gathered witnesses to provide testimony before Georgia legislative subcommittee hearings held in December 2020 on alleged issues with the state’s election. ROBERT CHEELEY: A Georgia lawyer, Robert Cheeley presented video clips to legislators of election workers at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta and alleged the workers were counting votes twice or sometimes three times. He spoke to the lawmakers after Giuliani. MICHAEL ROMAN: A former White House aide who served as the director of Trump’s election day operations, Michael Roman was involved in efforts to put forth a set of fake electors after the 2020 election. DAVID SHAFER: The chairman of the Georgia GOP, Shafer was one of 16 state Republicans who met at the state Capitol on Dec. 14, 2020, to sign a certificate declaring falsely that Trump had won and also declaring themselves the state’s “duly elected and qualified” electors. He also joined Trump in a lawsuit challenging the certification of the 2020 election in Georgia. SHAWN STILL: He was one of 16 Georgia Republicans who signed a certificate falsely stating that Trump had won the state and declaring themselves the state’s “duly elected and qualified” electors. Shawn Still was the finance chairman for the state GOP in 2020 and served as a Georgia delegate to the Republican National Convention that year. He was elected to the Georgia state Senate in November 2022 and represents a district in Atlanta’s suburbs. STEPHEN CLIFFGARD LEE: Prosecutors say Stephen Cliffgard Lee, a pastor, worked with others to try to pressure Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman and her daughter after Trump and his allies falsely accused them of pulling fraudulent ballots from a suitcase during the vote count. Lee allegedly knocked on Freeman’s door, frightening her and causing her to call 911 three times, prosecutors said in a court filing last year. HARRISON WILLIAM PRESCOTT FLOYD: Also known as Willie Lewis Floyd III, he served as director of Black Voices for Trump, and is accused of recruiting Lee to arrange a meeting with Freeman and Chicago-based publicist Trevian Kutti. TREVIAN C. KUTTI: Prosecutors allege publicist Trevian C. Kutti claimed to have high level law enforcement connections. They say Freeman met with Kutti at a police precinct, where she brought Floyd into the conversation on a speakerphone. Prosecutors say Kutti presented herself as someone who could help Freeman but then pressured her to falsely confess to election fraud. CATHY LATHAM: One of 16 Georgia Republicans who signed a certificate falsely stating that Trump had won the state and declaring themselves the state’s “duly elected and qualified” electors, Cathy Latham was also chair of the Coffee County Republican Party. She was at the county elections office for much of the day on Jan. 7, 2021, and welcomed a computer forensics team that arrived to copy software and data from the county’s election equipment in what the secretary of state’s office has said was “unauthorized access” to the machines. SCOTT GRAHAM HALL: An Atlanta-area bail bondsman, Scott Graham Hall was allegedly involved in commandeering voting information that was the property of Dominion Voting Systems from Coffee County, a small south Georgia jurisdiction. Also charged in the scheme were Powell, Latham and former county elections supervisor Misty Hampton. MISTY HAMPTON: She was the elections director in Coffee County. Misty Hampton was present in the county elections office on Jan. 7, 2021, when a computer forensics team copied software and data from the county’s election equipment. She also allowed two other men who had been active in efforts to question the 2020 election results to access the elections office later that month and to spend hours inside with the equipment. ___ Corrects Stephen Cliffgard Lee entry to reflect that he is accused of trying to pressure Ruby Freeman and her daughter, not Freeman’s mother. ___ Cooper reported from Phoenix.

  17. yahoo.com Hugh Freeze trying to revitalize Auburn program, quarterback play in his latest SEC stop JOHN ZENOR 4–5 minutes AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Having already rebuilt his career, Hugh Freeze is trying to do the same thing for Auburn's football program. The coach's return to the Southeastern Conference brought renewed hope to a demoralized fan base, along with some much-needed recruiting and transfer portal success. Freeze, whose successful tenure at Mississippi had ended in scandal, isn't promising instant success. But improvement seems likely after two lackluster seasons, mostly under Bryan Harsin, who was fired last October. Auburn has finished sixth in the SEC West each of the past two seasons, unfamiliar territory for a program whose last two coaches before Harsin had taken teams to national championship games with a title in 2010. “I did sense coming in that the faith in the whole family of Auburn football was fractured somewhat, and I think that is where I had to start trying to repair that,” said Freeze, who spent the past four seasons at Liberty. The other big priority was repairing a roster that had fallen well behind some of the Tigers' SEC rivals. Freeze closed the 2023 recruiting cycle strong, added a number of transfers for immediate help and has picked up some big commitments for next year. Freeze resigned from Ole Miss in the summer of 2017 after school officials uncovered a “pattern of personal misconduct” starting with a call to a number used by an escort service from a university-issued cellphone. The program ultimately landed on NCAA probation for 21 violations of academic, booster and recruiting misconduct mostly under Freeze’s watch. Now, he's back in the SEC with high expectations and a six-year deal worth at least $6.5 million annually. QB BATTLE The biggest imperative for this season was improving quarterback play, and eventually selecting a starter. Robby Ashford flashed playmaking abilities as a runner but completed just 49% of his passes last season. After the spring, Freeze added former Michigan State starter Payton Thorne to join Ashford and redshirt freshman Holden Geriner. Onetime starter T.J. Finley transferred to Texas State. The Tigers clearly need better play at the position after producing only nine passing touchdowns last season while ranking 119th in passing yards per game, averaging 173. “We've been able to do things with quarterbacks everywhere we've been and produce good enough results to win,” Freeze said. PORTAL PICKUPS Freeze brought in 20-plus transfers, loading up in particular with offensive linemen and wide receivers, two of the team’s weaker spots in recent seasons. He added 10 offensive linemen, including five from the transfer portal: Gunner Britton (Western Kentucky), Avery Jones (East Carolina), Dylan Senda (Northwestern) and Tulsa’s Dillon Wade and Jaden Muskrat. The defensive front seven also gets a boost from transfers, including several from within the SEC. RUNNING GAME Auburn must replace three-year starter Tank Bigsby, who ran for nearly 3,000 yards before heading to the NFL. Jarquez Hunter has been an explosive backup, but was held out at the start of fall camp for unspecified reasons. Hunter has averaged 6.6 yards on 193 carries over his first two seasons. It's a fairly deep group. Brian Battie ran for 1,186 yards last season at South Florida, and the 5-foot-7, 170-pounder earned some All-America honors as a kick returner in 2021. Freshman Jeremiah Cobb joins the mix as well. STRONG SECONDARY With players returning who started at least 11 games last season, Auburn didn't need much immediate help in the defensive backfield. The Tigers return a group led by cornerbacks Nehemiah Pritchett and D.J. James, along with Keionte Scott, Jaylin Simpson and Zion Puckett. SCHEDULE Auburn faces a very manageable nonconference game compared to the team's norm, with a Sept. 9 visit to California the most high profile. The Tigers do face three top SEC rivals, hosting No. 1 Georgia and No. 4 Alabama and visiting fifth-ranked LSU. ___ AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/college-football and https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll
