The transfer portal window will open again for 15 days after spring practice, with Auburn and other schools having a chance to adjust the roster one last time before the season.

Athlon Sports ranks Auburn last in the SEC West in new power rankings JD McCarthy 2–3 minutes Hugh Freeze is inheriting an Auburn team that went 5-7 last season and has numerous questions to answer about the roster. While the motto for spring practice has become “Flip the Script,” Athlon Sports thinks the Tigers will show some improvement in Year 1 but has them starting at the bottom of their spring power rankings for the SEC. Steven Lassan slated them as his No. 11 team in the SEC and dead last in the SEC West. What to Watch on Offense: Quarterback Robby Ashford’s development under coach Hugh Freeze and coordinator Philip Montgomery is crucial with the second transfer window opening in mid-April. The line is just as big of a concern for Auburn with four new starters, with three transfers expected to win jobs. What to Watch on Defense: New coordinator Ron Roberts inherits a solid foundation, especially in the secondary where the Tigers return cornerbacks D.J. James and Nehemiah Pritchett. How fast can Roberts find replacements for standouts Derick Hall and Colby Wooden up front, along with linebacker Owen Pappoe? He ranked the Tigers ahead of Florida, Missouri, and Vanderbilt. While they are ranked low, he is expecting Auburn to get better during the season and under Freeze. Auburn should also show improvement in coach Hugh Freeze’s debut. The Tigers are currently taking a break from spring practice but will pick back up next week and will end spring practices on April 8 with the A-Day game. More Football!

i agree! burger was my favorite tho he would not be considered the best.

you think that up all your own?

well the secondary guy from fsu did not work out very well. i forgot his name............

ok so why did they say they did not have enough to charge her on? and i am not a hillary fan tho i liked bill before i knew he was a perv.

ok well nevermind. i have to take a friend to get his radiation treatment today.

for the record i hope he does well.

nothing. they were on her emails but bush and cheney and even several of trump and company did basically the same thing.

i was talking trash about the libs as i think ALL public officials should be held accountable. but they have investigated hillary a million times and they have investigated biden. about hunter they said he was not guilty of anything even tho it was a bad look.

nope. and um trump pardoned manafort for the record. i do think trump should be in jail. i have no thoughts on hunter just like i do not about hillary. investigations were done several times on her and on hunter and nothing conclusive was found. but i tell you what. when the righties hold their people accountable i would hold those on the left accountable.

rollingstone.com Trump 2024: Pardons for Top Officials on Jan. 6, Mar-a-Lago Docs Asawin Suebsaeng 9–12 minutes Skip to main content Trump Privately Proposes Wave of High-Level Jan. 6 Pardons “This would be like hitting the delete-key on all of DOJ's work on these investigations,” a source tells Rolling Stone Tired: Rule of law Wired: Ruler makes law Jeff Swensen/Getty Images Donald Trump has privately told confidants that, should he be re-elected president, he could pardon any of his allies if they face charges from the Biden-era Justice Department in two major probes, two people familiar with the matter tell Rolling Stone. Since last summer, the former president has been telling some of those close to him that the pardons would be for higher-level people and could come early in his time in office, effectively wiping away a multi-year effort to hold powerful people and their cohorts legally accountable for their actions during and after Trump’s first term. “This would be like hitting the delete-key on all of [the] DOJ’s work on these investigations — and be an opening shot in his next war on the ‘Deep State,’” says one of the sources, adding it would be part of Trump “cleaning house” at the start of his second term. “The idea was that he can just pardon everybody [if] he’s president again … That he can do it ‘fast’ and early on in his [new] term,” the source continues. “He was not talking about the [Jan. 6 rioters and] prisoners, it was about people working on post-election activities and on the documents. All the different ‘witch hunts.’” The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to relay private conversations. A Trump spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment on this story. The Justice Department is conducting two main probes into Trump and his allies. The first is into the twice-impeached former president’s activities surrounding the 2020 election, in which he stoked doubts and spread lies about the results and fueled a “stop the steal” movement that culminated in the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. That inquiry also likely extends to Trump’s efforts to overturn the race in court, probing whether his legal team broke the law in their efforts to get courts to reverse the decision, or whether Trump himself broke the law while pressuring election officials to tip the contest in his favor. The second probe involves sensitive documents found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago compound in Florida, as the feds look at whether Trump and others engaged in criminal activity by taking certain materials out of the federal chain of custody and into his private residence. In the latter investigation, Trump’s critics have accused him of engaging in obstruction by attempting to thwart the federal inquiry. At the Conservative Political Action Conference over the weekend, Trump told a Newsmax correspondent that he will not leave the 2024 presidential race if he gets criminally charged, claiming an indictment would “enhance” his poll numbers among GOP voters. (To be fair, he might have a point.) The proposal for early-term pardons for high-level officials adds a new layer to Trump’s broadcasted plans to shield his team from legal accountability. At a Jan. 2022 rally, he teased potential pardons for Jan. 6 rioters. “If I run, and if I win, we will treat those people from Jan. 6 fairly. And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons, because they are being treated so unfairly,” Trump said then in a speech outside Houston. (Trump recently contributed audio for a group of incarcerated Jan. 6 prisoners for a recording called “Justice for All.”) Not everyone in the Trump orbit is impressed with his idea for issuing rapid pardons should he return to the Oval Office. Nor are many of the senior veterans of his administration, including those who helped defend him and his White House against the feds. Under the Constitution, “it’s undeniable that, if elected yet again (heaven forbid), [Trump] can issue all these possible pardons related to the efforts to cling to power and even the Mar-a-Lago classified documents. That would, of course, be a travesty,” Ty Cobb, a former top Trump White House lawyer during Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, says in an interview. “And it underscores yet again my firm anxiety about our current democracy … because the man is a complete narcissist and inherently evil.” Others are skeptical Trump would stick his neck out for his allies. “Trump could have done all of this before he left office originally, but was too concerned about the second impeachment and his own reelection campaign when he knew he was leaving office, so he left advisers, lawyers, and Jan. 6 defendants on the field,” says one person close to Trump. “Why trust he’s going to do something now when, if it’s politically expedient for him, he didn’t before? He demands loyalty, but doesn’t provide it reciprocally to his own team.” The question of pardons is not limited to Trump’s cronies and supporters: During his presidency, he repeatedly mused about pardoning himself — and alleging he had the authority to do so. Brian Kalt, a Michigan State University law school professor who has written extensively on presidential pardons, says it’s unclear whether Trump would be allowed to pardon himself. “The bottom line is that nobody knows for sure, and anyone who says he definitely can or definitely cannot is lying,” Kalt tells Rolling Stone. “When people ask me if the president can pardon himself, my answer is: ‘He can try.’ “ Among other arguments, Kalt says that the U.S. legal system has a general principle of forbidding people from being the judge in their own case, and while a pardon isn’t the same thing as judging a case, he thinks the norm would hold. But he noted a court could find the opposite, as the Constitution grants the president the right to issue pardons, and it does not contain a carve-out forbidding a president from pardoning him or herself. Trump is no stranger to politically connected pardons. With months left before leaving office, the former president dished out clemency to a host of allies. That included one for Paul Manafort, chairman of his 2016 campaign, who was serving a 47-month sentence for eight felony convictions. He also gave a full pardon to Roger Stone, who’d tried to thwart the federal investigation into ties between Trump and Russia and was convicted of eight felonies. And then there’s former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, who’d been charged with defrauding donors out of more than $1 million in a phony scheme to build Trump’s border wall. Hours before leaving office, in one of his final acts as president, Trump granted him a full pardon.

it amazes me how the biggest liar in the history of the world can holler fake news to get out of trouble and people believe him.

again........ i never said he would have gotten away with it which you seem to use for an excuse. he tried to steal the country and disenfranchise millions of voters. biden will never be a crooked at trump but hey good luck with that. trump pushes all the wrong buttons.

HE IS A CROOK! he tried to steal an election scooter. i am always going to speak out on that piece of garbage. i have all the standing i need with him. sorry you decided to support a turd.but YOU can only blame yourself for that. at least some republicans admit they were a foll to fall for trump..............

i think he was one of the most exciting qb's i have ever seen. electric is the word i am looking for. you knew he was a threat for great things every single time he touched the ball. we should consider doing a section on auburn highlights. they are always super popular and it would be nice to have our own library if we have the bandwidth......

hey bro they got his highlights of the one season and a couple more if you want me to look.

first off i have never said one way or another if the young biden was guilty or not. and i dare you to find any quote proving i did. you cannot so why lie? come on man. manafort had ties to russia is why he was mentioned and it went to jail over it. he tried to hide it i know that.
