man i love those guys. they are coming to oxford al this spring but i think all are dead but one singer. i always wanted to sing eli's coming but i could not quite hit that last couple of high notes. their career was pretty much ruined by the mob as was van morrisons as well. they lost millions. i think both were dealing with threats against their life. three dog nights was. they have a tell all book they say is real good but i never read it.

we had really cold weather for about a week. hell my washing machine froze up. first time since i bought this house. normally in the winter i sleep with a fan blowing on me just like in the summer.along with a ceiling fan i might add. i believe it got below ten degrees then.

i am the same. i would love to see tj make it and trade that scooter in on a harley.............

how does alabama power up their rates twice in two months? i was told there was hearing and basically their spokesman said blame biden. and that was it. my last bill almost doubled so now i will have a colder than normal winter. and the rate hike for this month has not gotten here yet. it almost seems like us poor folks cannot get a break. thank god i have three dogs i sleep with.

i think we are in good shape with folks doing their jobs,etc. hell we could be texas a and m. i have had several people tell me players were smoking pot in the locker room. it sounds kind of wild but i look back at fsu and jimbo and i realize it might be true.

it could be a million things. he was not removed from the team. maybe he thought he was getting lost in the shuffle and they promised him an honest chance. or maybe he messed up with his tweets and had to do extra workouts or something. tj was a favorite of mine and i would bet it was worked out some how. the new staff did show him something i believe with all the new O line guys we got. i wish him well and to be honest you never know when things will click and a player take that next step.

i am just doing what i was asked to do by the mods. my point is if it is posted twice someone is wasting time. i have no problems but in the past he has told me i double posted and it was removed by me no problem. i just hate wasting my time. but enough already.personally i got no problem with him.

just a reminder you have told me before when i reposted something. bad look dude. and petty. ok i am done. i would not want your important article to get locked god forbid.

you take a shot at my big news and then double post on tj? ok dude. at least i am a team player.

i posted this thirty minutes ago. i guess you do not look at the articles i post. they are trying to declutter the board some which is why i am doing this.

Wendell Green Leads No. 21 Auburn's 2nd-half Surge Past Ole Miss - Alabama News Alabama News Network Staff, ~3 minutes Posted: Jan 11, 2023 3:42 PM CST by Alabama News Network Staff Auburn forward Johni Broome (4) is elbowed on the nose by Mississippi guard Matthew Murrell (11) during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in Oxford, Miss., Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2023. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis) By CHRIS BURROWS Associated Press Wendell Green Jr. scored 23 points, including 18 in the second half, and No. 21 Auburn dominated after halftime to beat Mississippi 82-73 on Tuesday night. Auburn (13-3, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) trailed 35-34 at the break but put together runs of 6-0, 10-2 and 9-4 in the opening 10 minutes of the second half. Ole Miss got no closer than seven points in the final 12 minutes. Johni Broome had 19 points and 11 rebounds, Allen Flanigan added 15 points and Jaylin Williams scored 11 for the Tigers, who shot 17 of 28 (60.7%) in the second half and finished 30 of 61 (49.2%) for the game. “Wendell Green. Wendell Green. Wendell Green and Broome, Flanigan and Williams,” Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said when asked how the game turned in the second half. “Those guys make plays. They converted shots and we only had four turnovers against a team that makes it tough with changing defenses.” Matthew Murrell led Ole Miss (8-8, 0-4) with 24 points, adding six rebounds and four assists. Tye Fagan scored 13 points and Jaemyn Brakefield added 12 for the Rebels, who lost their fifth straight. “We played well early and we are showing positives,” Ole Miss coach Kermit Davis said. “We just couldn’t convert early in the second half and you can’t count on holding Auburn down. There’s nothing like winning and there’s a lot of basketball to go and good things can still happen for us.” Road wins are crucial if the Tigers hope to compete for a regular-season SEC championship and improve their seeding prospects for the NCAA Tournament. Auburn split two road games while also beating then-No. 13 Arkansas during a six-day stretch. “It’s been a tough stretch, a tough turnaround,” Pearl said. “We will get home sometime early in the morning, go to class and have a light practice. We can use the extra day. The good news is we will be back in our place on Saturday.” Auburn is one of five ranked SEC teams and should extend a 29-week stretch in the AP Top 25. Auburn hosts Mississippi State on Saturday. (Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed without permission.)

Big results for smallest Tiger: Green steps up against Rebels Mark Murphy 4–5 minutes AUBURN, Alabama–Wendell Green is normally the smallest player on the court any time the Auburn basketball Tigers play, but when he has a big impact on the proceedings his team normally wins. That was the case on Tuesday night at Oxford, Miss., where the Tigers defeated the Ole Miss Rebels 82-73. Green led the Tigers in scoring with a season-high 23 points vs. the Rebels. In 33 minutes of playing time the 5-11, 175-pound point guard turned the basketball over just two times while leading all players in assists with seven. He added five rebounds rebounds a game-high three steals. “Wendell Green was the best point guard on the floor,” Coach Bruce Pearl said. “Again, he doesn’t get enough credit. He is one of the best point guards in the country. “He made plays on both ends of the floor, offensively and defensively,” the coach pointed out. “He scored, assisted, low turnovers, rebounded–a real complete game, really poised on the road. He controlled the tempo of this game.” Green scored eight of his points in the last three minutes and 13 seconds going 6-6 at the free throw line to prevent the Rebels from making a late comeback as the 21st-ranked Tigers improved to 3-1 in Southeastern Conference play and 13-3 overall. The point guard scored six points in the first five minutes of the second half on a pair of threes as the Tigers turned a one-point halftime deficit into a seven-point lead. For the game Auburn made 18-22 free throws with Green hitting all 11 of his attempts. “You have got to make them,” the junior said. “It felt good to go perfect from the line tonight. “I have been getting to the line a little bit more this year than I have ever in my career,” he pointed out. “I just want to keep attacking, keep finishing. You have got to make your free throws on the road and that is what we did...18-22 is pretty good as a team and it ended up in a win.” Bruce Pearl (left) and Wendell Green check out the proceedings in Oxford on Tuesday night. (Photo: Petre Thomas, USA TODAY Sports) With Auburn trailing by a point at halftime the Tigers picked up the offensive pace after intermission with Green leading the way. He scored 18 points in the second half while making 4-8 field goals and 2-3 three-pointers. That was a big improvement over his first half shooting when he was 1-7 from the field, including 0-2 on three-pointers. “You can’t let the shots dictate the rest of the game,” Green said. “I am not just a scorer...There are a lot of other things I can do defensively, rebounding, passing when my shots are not falling.” Green said it is good to see teammate Allen Flanigan improve his performance level as he continues to come back from surgery last year to repair a partially torn Achilles. Flanigan helped spark Auburn’s second half charge with nine of his 15 points coming after intermission. “We need that,” Green said of Flanigan’s play. “We need another guard stepping up playing good and I am happy for him coming back from that injury last year.” Flanigan noted that early in the second half after Green made a couple of good plays he could that his teammate was ready for a strong finish. “He is a great point guard, a guy who can create for himself and create for others and knock down a lot of big shots,” Flanigan said. 2COMMENTS

How Auburn's win over Ole Miss affects its KenPom rankings Taylor Jones 2–3 minutes Auburn continues to find rhythm in SEC play. The No. 22 Tigers traveled to Ole Miss on Tuesday night. Despite trailing at halftime, Auburn walked away with an 82-73 win over the Rebels at The Pavilion. The Tigers scored 48 second-half points to seal the victory. Buy Tigers Tickets Auburn was one of four SEC teams to earn a win on Tuesday, joining Tennessee, Florida, and South Carolina. The most surprising result of the night was South Carolina’s 71-68 win over Kentucky at Rupp Arena. The loss to the Gamecocks has set Kentucky back to a 10-6 overall record, and 1-3 against SEC opponents. The Tigers grabbed their second-straight win over an SEC foe on Tuesday. Because of this, Auburn remains one of the SEC’s best teams according to the data that makes up the KenPom rankings.

Hugh Freeze adds Group of 5 assistant to Auburn support staff Published: Jan. 11, 2023, 5:13 p.m. ~2 minutes Auburn football coach Hugh Freeze is introduced during Auburn basketball vs Arkansas on Saturday, Jan. 7,.2023 in Auburn, Ala. Todd Van Emst/AU Athletics Todd Van Emst/AU Athletics/AU At Hugh Freeze is adding another familiar face and Group of 5 assistant coach to Auburn’s support staff. Vontrell King-Williams, who spent the 2022 season coaching defensive tackles at Eastern Michigan, is joining Auburn’s off-field staff, he announced Wednesday afternoon. King-Williams is expected to serve as a defensive analyst for the Tigers, according to FootballScoop, working on a defensive staff that includes a pair of former Liberty assistants: defensive line coach Jeremy Garrett and linebackers coach Josh Aldridge. Read more Auburn football: Former Auburn QB Zach Calzada transfers to top FCS program Former Auburn reserve quarterback transferring to Albany Meet Hugh Freeze’s 2023 Auburn football coaching staff King-Williams previously spent two seasons working for Freeze at Liberty, where he was a defensive graduate assistant in 2020 and 2021 before taking an on-field position at EMU. It was King-Williams’ second stint at Eastern Michigan after spending two seasons as a defensive graduate assistant and recruiting assistant for the program in 2018 and 2019. A graduate of UTSA, where he spent his final two seasons in 2015 and 2016 after starting off at Illinois and then going the junior college route, King-Williams got his coaching start as a defensive line intern at his alma mater in 2017.

Guessing Auburn's offensive line depth chart after adding Avery Jones Zac Blackerby 2–3 minutes The Auburn Tigers entered the offseason dealing with a situation that has been hurting them for years - addressing the offensive line. Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze and offensive line coach Jake Thornton have rebuilt and revamped the Auburn offensive line after adding five players in the 2023 recruiting class and three players via the transfer portal. All three of those portal transfers are going to be projected to start by every outlet covering the Auburn football program. Here is our way-too-early stab at projecting the offensive line. Left tackle - Gunner Britton The Western Kentucky transfer has a chance to be Auburn's best offensive tackle since Greg Robinson. His experience, size, and ability to make an impact in pass protection and run blocking give the offense a much larger chance to be successful in Freeze's first year at Auburn. Left guard - Jeremiah Wright Sounds like this staff thinks highly of Wright. Still raw, but he has been asked to change positions several times since he's arrived at Auburn. Wright played 231 snaps at left guard last season. Center - Avery Jones The East Carolina transfer brings experience and was one of the better pass-blocking centers in college football last season according to PFF. Right guard - Izavion Miller This spot is probably the biggest question mark on the offensive front. We currently can see Miller sliding in from the tackle spot and asking him to play on the interior. While he was the top juco offensive lineman in this class, his feet seem to drag more than what you'd like to see from an SEC tackle. Kam Stutts returning will compete for this job as well. Right tackle - Dillon Wade The Tulsa transfer played right and left tackle before transferring to Auburn. Wade was seen as the favorite to start at left tackle before Britton committed to the Tigers. Wade moves well for his size and could be a candidate to shift inside if the coaching staff asked him to change positions. For now, we think he will start at right tackle.

Five expectations for Auburn football's quarterbacks under Hugh Freeze Lance Dawe 5–6 minutes Home Auburn Daily Football Here are five things we can expect out of Hugh Freeze's quarterbacks at Auburn. New Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze is known as a bit of a quarterback guru. Now entering his first season on the Plains, Freeze will have that reputation put to the test. Auburn quarterback Robby Ashford was thrown into the fire as a freshman and unsurprisingly struggled in a variety of areas - accuracy, decision making, turnovers, etc. However, he did flash glimpses of potential, rushing for over 700 yards and finished sixth in the SEC in yards per completion (min. 100 attempts). Unless Freeze decides to roll with a quarterback out of the portal, he's going to have the chance to build on Ashford's foundation and unlock his potential. Regardless of who the signal-caller is, here are five things we can expect out of Freeze's quarterbacks at Auburn. More gambling Jason Homan/ Auburn Daily Over the course of his ten seasons coaching Division I college football, Hugh Freeze quarterbacks throw an interception on 2.9% of their passes. Compare this to Auburn, who from 2013-2022 threw a pick on 2.1% of their passes. The gap between these two styles of play starts to shift when you look at interception totals - Hugh Freeze QB's 117 interceptions to Auburn's 65 - but that's not a fair comparison because of two reasons. One, the Tigers have thrown the ball significantly less than the average SEC team over the last decade. Two, there's a two-year gap in the Hugh Freeze numbers because he was out of coaching. Only twice has Auburn eclipsed double-digit interceptions since 2013. Hugh Freeze quarterbacks have done it seven out of his nine seasons. More turnovers come with throwing the ball more. Especially in Freeze's offenses. More explosive play Matt Bush-USA TODAY Sports While turnovers may be a downside, more explosive play is also to be expected from Freeze signal-callers. During his time at Ole Miss, Freeze never had a passing offense finish outside of the top five in the SEC in yards per game and only had one aerial attack step outside the top five of the league in yards per attempt. If we're looking at this year specifically, there's reason to expect Auburn's receiver room to be used pretty differently considering the blend of size and speed the Tigers have in the rotation. Physical, big-bodied receivers are what have thrived in Freeze's systems in the past - and part of it has to do with the downfield passing from his quarterback. This isn't Joe Burrow and the 2019 LSU Tigers by any stretch. However, fans should be excited about a more, well, exciting passing game. Better accuracy Eric Starling/Auburn Daily Seven of Freeze's ten offenses have seen better completion percentages than Auburn's passing attacks in the same year. We won't sit here and tell you that every year Freeze beat out the Tigers' passing attack by a wide margin in that category, but it's not unfair to say Freeze's quarterbacks have had a consistent edge over Auburn's from a raw numbers perspective - more reps, completions, accuracy, etc. If we're talking specifically about this upcoming season, there's little doubt that Ashford will improve on his 49.5% completion percentage. Dual-threat abilities Eric Starling/Auburn Daily Freeze has utilized his quarterback's legs to not just produce yardage, but to actually get in the endzone. His starting signal-callers have averaged 447.1 yards on the ground per season to go along with 7.5 rushing touchdowns. What's interesting about Freeze's use of dual-threat quarterbacks is that the more he's used them in a given season, the better the team has done overall. Now, the utilization of a QBs legs may not directly correlate to wins, but it does indicate that the offense probably performs better and therefore the team as a whole is more competitive. Four of Freeze's ten seasons have included his starting quarterback rushing for over 500 yards. Those teams went a combined 38-11 (0.78 win percentage) and produced all three of his ten-win seasons. It does make one wonder what could be in store if Auburn were to ride with Robby Ashford and improve his passing game... Big performances in big wins Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports Excluding 2012, Hugh Freeze is 5-7 against top 10 opponents. In those five wins, his quarterbacks produced some solid (averaged) stat lines: - 314.4 passing yards per game - 10 total TD/2 INT - 79.6 QBR When the quarterback plays well in important contests, the team plays well.

Auburn quarterback T.J. Finley returns to team River Wells ~2 minutes One of Auburn’s quarterbacks that appeared to be leaving at the end of last year may be staying with the team after all. Nathan King of 247sports reported on Wednesday that quarterback T.J. Finley, who appeared to have left the team after the firing of coach Bryan Harsin, is back with the Tigers for their winter workouts. Finley began 2022 as the team’s starter before eventually being phased out for quarterback Robby Ashford. Buy Tigers Tickets Finley came to Auburn after transferring to the Plains from LSU in 2021. He had his career-best completion percentage over a season in 2022 with 62.3 percent, but he threw just one touchdown to four interceptions. In any year where he’s had more than 100 attempts, Finley has never had a completion percentage over 60 percent. The senior returns to the team after leaving it for the last four games last year for reasons unrelated to injury – Finley got injured earlier in the year and then did not win the job back from Ashford for the rest of the year. Finley never entered the portal, however, and he appears to be back with the team once again under new head coach Hugh Freeze. It’s unknown who Freeze intends to have under center for 2023, but Finley could be in the mix with his return to the roster.

Meet the transfers: Auburn's 10 portal pickups so far Nathan King 7–9 minutes Hugh Freeze's 2023 roster rebuild is now 10 transfers in, and it's so far, so good for the Tigers in terms of restoring depth to various position groups, and adding starting-caliber players to others. Auburn needed to hit the portal hard in order to field a competitive squad this fall, and Freeze and his new staff have done so, especially in the past couple weeks, where the Tigers have added six transfers in the past four days. With the winter portal entry window closing next Thursday, here's a snapshot of the Tigers' current transfer haul, as Auburn now has the nation's No. 3 transfer class, according to 247Sports' transfer rankings. TE Rivaldo Fairweather (FIU Athletics) Previous school: FIU Committed to Auburn: Dec. 18 Career stats (3 seasons): 54 catches, 838 yards, 5 TDs 247Sports transfer ranking: No. 6 TE Auburn Undercover's take: Under new position coach Ben Aigamaua, who comes over from Liberty after spending all four seasons under Freeze there, Fairweather brings strong production to one of the most experienced units on Auburn’s roster. Freeze has a history of utilizing hybrid, big-bodied targets in the passing game, which Fairweather and Landen King seem to fit the mold of. DE Elijah McAllister (Doug Engle / Syndication: The Gainesville Sun, USA TODAY Sports) Previous school: Vanderbilt Committed to Auburn: Dec. 20 Career stats (3 seasons): 65 tackles, 6.5 TFLs, 2.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries, 1 INT 247Sports transfer ranking: No. 8 EDGE Auburn Undercover's take: McAllister dealt with a couple knee injuries at Vanderbilt but still represents an important pickup at an extremely thin group of pass-rushers for Auburn. With former Western Kentucky transfer Marcus Bragg also out of eligibility, Dylan Brooks, a former top-100 recruit, is the only scholarship player returning from last year's edge rushers room. OT Dillon Wade (Troy Taormina, USA TODAY) Previous school: Tulsa Committed to Auburn: Dec. 23 Career stats (2 seasons): 12 starts, 17 game appearances 247Sports transfer ranking: No. 3 OT Auburn Undercover's take: Wade was rated so highly in the portal for a reason, despite only starting one season at the Group of Five level: He's displayed significant growth in each of his two college seasons in which he saw the field, and his film was highly respected once he hit the transfer portal, garnering offers from Auburn, USC, Ohio State, Oklahoma, TCU, Ole Miss and Colorado, among others. If Wade slides in as seamlessly as Auburn hopes at the ever-important spot of left tackle, he could end up being one of, if not the most important transfer for Auburn in 2023. OT Gunner Britton (Michael Allio, Getty) Previous school: Western Kentucky Committed to Auburn: Jan. 5 Career stats (4 seasons): 19 starts, 45 game appearances 247Sports transfer ranking: No. 5 OT Auburn Undercover's take: With SEC-ready size at 6-foot-6 and 305 pounds, Britton boasts plenty of experience — and versatility — at the Group of Five level. If Wade is ready to take over Auburn's left-tackle opening, Britton could do the same at right tackle, as he was another crucial addition, considering Auburn returns just one player from last year's team (Colby Smith) who has any experience playing tackle. DT Mosiah Nasili-Kite (Maryland Athletics) Previous school: Maryland Committed to Auburn: Jan. 8 Career stats (3 seasons): 80 tackles, 14.5 TFLs, 9 sacks, 1 fumble recovery 247Sports transfer ranking: No. 10 DL Auburn Undercover's take: Nasili-Kite represents exactly what the Tigers needed from the transfer ranks along the defensive front: a veteran to complement returning starters Marcus Harris and Jayson Jones who appears ready to contribute well from Day 1. It's also a bonus that Nasili-Kite was versatile enough with the Terrapins, at 6-foot-2 and 305 pounds, to play a variety of spots along the D-line, and he was a strong pass-rusher, too, finishing No. 2 on the team in QB pressures last season. LB Demario Tolan (Jon Korduner, Getty) Previous school: LSU Committed to Auburn: Jan. 8 Career stats (1 season): 10 tackles 247Sports transfer ranking: No. 8 LB Auburn Undercover's take: A versatile athlete at 6-foot-2 and 222 pounds, Tolan isn't a proven contributor joining Ron Roberts' defense. He's not a plug-and-play addition who will automatically contender for a spot in the starting rotation. But the former top-200 recruit does represent a boost to a position group that doesn't have much in terms of proven depth after the loss of Owen Pappoe, who's off to the NFL draft. DT Lawrence Johnson (Joe Robbins, Getty) Previous school: Purdue Committed to Auburn: Jan. 8 Career stats (4 seasons): 88 tackles, 7.5 TFLs, 2.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble 247Sports transfer ranking: No. 20 DL Auburn Undercover's take: Johnson helps Auburn with its continued alleviation of pressure on the youngsters on the D-line, allowing for patient development and progression under the new defensive staff. While Auburn may not have as dominant a force in 2023 as someone like Colby Wooden, it's bulking up the defensive front with experience in hopes of offsetting its losses by committee, and its rotation next season might be capable of going deeper than in 2022. WR Nick Mardner (Ian Johnson, Getty) Previous school: Cincinnati Committed to Auburn: Jan. 9 Career stats (4 seasons): 81 catches, 1,488 yards, 11 TDs 247Sports transfer ranking: No. 25 WR Auburn Undercover's take: Rejoining his former position coach Marcus Davis, who coached him at Hawaii in 2021, Mardner joins a receiving corps with plenty of intriguing pieces but not many standouts. At 6-foot-6 and 215 pounds, Mardner will compete with rising sophomore Camden Brown on the outside. Mardner's best college season came under Davis' tutelage at Hawaii, when he was an All-Mountain West selection with 46 receptions, 913 yards and five touchdowns. RB Brian Battie (Will Turner, 247Sports) Previous school: USF Committed to Auburn: Jan. 9 Career stats (3 seasons): 1,842 yards, 10 TDs; 24.2 yards per kick return, 3 TDs 247Sports transfer ranking: No. 8 RB Auburn Undercover's take: To help offset the loss of Tank Bigsby, Auburn could have done a whole lot worse than bringing in a 1,000-yard rusher in 2022 and a special teams All-American in 2021. He'll obviously be expected to make a huge impact in the Tigers' return units, but in Cadillac Williams' room, Battie serves as a highly productive veteran to pair with Jarquez Hunter, who figures to be Auburn's lead back after waiting behind Bigsby for two seasons.
