  2. 247sports.com 'I've never loved a place more: One-on-one with Bruce Pearl Nathan King 4-5 minutes Bruce Pearl doesn’t feel like it’s been eight seasons. The memories of wandering lecture halls with KT Harrell in 2014, begging students to come to games and ensuring that improvement is on the horizon for a downtrodden Auburn program, are still vivid as Pearl gears up for Year 9 on the Plains. “Time flies when you’re having fun — and we’ve had a lot of fun,” Pearl said in a sit-down with Auburn Undercover. There’s also been a lot of wins — 166 of them, to be exact, the fourth-most in program history. Those have included two SEC regular-season championships, an SEC tournament title, three NCAA tournament appearances in the past five seasons and the program’s first-ever Final Four berth. Pearl’s team last year yielded the best regular season in program history, with Auburn grabbing an outright SEC crown, the first No. 1 ranking in the polls in program history and a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament. Things wrapped up with the Tigers’ two All-American big men, Jabari Smith and Walker Kessler, being picked No. 3 and No. 22 overall, respectively, in the NBA draft, giving Auburn multiple first-round picks in the same year for the first time ever. During those three weeks Auburn spent atop the polls, now-former athletic director Allen Greene and Auburn’s administration locked Pearl down with a “lifetime” contract: an eight-year extension worth $50.2 million. Pearl told Auburn Undercover “it would have been easy” to jump at other jobs. At the time, Pearl had been linked in particular to the opening at Louisville. "I knew there would be opportunities,” Pearl said. “My buyout had gone way, way down. If I had waited till the end of last year, it would have been easy to go. There were a number of jobs out there I could have gotten. I just wasn't interested. I worked too hard to build this program. I've never been happier; I've never loved a place more; I've never loved where I live more; I've never loved the fanbase more. It's just never been a better fit." Instead, after a recent run that rivals any in the program’s history, and could be the best Auburn’s ever seen, he became the second highest-paid coach in the SEC, behind John Calipari. “My teams have always finished higher than I’ve been paid,” Pearl said. “That’s going to be hard now to do every year, but that’s the goal.” So what do the Tigers have in store for Year 9 under Pearl? Gone are two of the most talented players to ever wear the orange and blue, but Pearl and his staff reloaded at each of their positions with Morehead State transfer Johni Broome, one of the best bigs on the mid-major level last season, and five-star freshman Yohan Traore, the fourth highest-rated prospect to ever sign with the program. Last year’s team gelled so quickly in the offseason, despite the roster having turned over nearly half its players. This year, Pearl boasts the returning experience and leadership of names like Wendell Green Jr., K.D. Johnson, Zep Jasper, Jaylin Williams, Allen Flanigan and Dylan Cardwell, as the team brings back eight members of its primary, 11-man rotation from last season, in addition to the highly anticipated newcomers. 20COMMENTS “I just want to see progress,” Pearl said. “I expect all my players to be better than they were a year ago, offensively and defensively. That’s all I’m looking for. … I’m very proud of the fact we’re one of the few programs that brought that many guys back. Why? It’s not me. It’s not my staff. It’s Auburn. It’s the Auburn family. It’s the way our student-athletes are treated.”
  3. Auburn football: Practice notes, defenders want Deion Sanders Zac Blackerby 2 minutes There are a ton of things happening both on and off the field at Auburn University right now. I received a handful of calls Tuesday night and wanted to list a few of the common factors in a post for everyone. Nothing heavy, but a few fun notes. There was a player's parents' call with Rich McGlynn Tuesday night to make sure everyone was on the same page. Sounded like McGlynn impressed several of the parents on the call. He was described as 'No nonsense" and answered some questions from the parents. Players now have the next 29 days to enter the portal. I was told by a source close to the program that Tuesday's practice was one of, if not, the best of the season. The energy was high, the offensive line won more battles, and the overall morale of the team was in a much better place. The source described it as, "Everyone is glad he's gone." There were still turnovers on offense but all-in-all, everyone felt good about the practice. It seems like the first choice for the next Auburn head coach among the defensive players is Deion Sanders. It makes sense why the defense would want Sanders. The hall-of-fame cornerback would add a ton of value and perspective to that side of the ball.
  4. mods this is a repeat and my fault.should i let you guys add the comments or just delete it?
  5. at the end of the day i just want a winner. i want to put fear in our opponents eyes when we walk out on the field. but my personal feeling is we do not get either. we all get all excited for someone and it almost never happens if you look at our history. i am thinking grimes or stoops or someone like that because i am not sure we have learned our lesson. now i have no problem with those guys but i am not convinced they could turn it around as quick as lane or sanders.
  6. this is just a tad more in depth than the written article..........
  7. Denouncing the Republican Party’s response to the the attack on Paul Pelosi last week, former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that “laughing in the face of an 82-year-old being brutally attacked with a hammer” is “not normal, moral human behavior.” Psaki made the impassioned comments while speaking with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes Tuesday. She expressed concern that such responses are not appropriate from elected officials and leaders. “Sometimes as we talk about what leaders should be doing and whether they’re standing up for democratic morals and things like that, we forget. I mean — some of these people are not — if they did this and acted like this, we wouldn’t want them to be a coach, a teacher, your neighbor,” Psaki said. “This is like not normal, moral human behavior. And that’s what you want in your president regardless of party.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband was attacked Friday after assailant David DePape invaded their San Francisco home. According to CNN, DePape had a list of other targets in his self-described “suicide mission” – namely, the Speaker herself. Hayes began his time with Psaki by contextualizing her stints with both the Obama and Biden administrations and comparing similar attacks on politicians in the past during those presidents’ respective terms. Also Read: ‘Morning Joe’ Host Mika Brzezinski Blames Trump for Pelosi Attack: ‘Deranged People Can Fall Prey to a Cult Leader’ (Video) “It’s so important, as you just did, to remind people that this is not normal, and it shouldn’t feel normal, and we shouldn’t allow it to be normal,” Psaki told Hayes. “If there was an attack, God forbid, on the spouse of Kevin McCarthy or Mitch McConnell, you know what Joe Biden would do? The first thing he would do is he would say, ‘Is he OK? Is she OK? Can I call her? If I can’t call her, can I call him? What do they need? What can we do for them?’” “And if there was this crazy business of conspiracy theory pushing or just even inappropriate joking and laughing by anyone in the party, he would say, ‘Cut it out.’ And that’s exactly what Barack Obama would do,” she continued. “And I’ve seen them both do, and that’s not about political advantageous. You’re not trying to win political points in these moments. You’re just being a human being, and you’re doing what’s morally right.” Hayes then discussed the founding fathers’ desire for virtue in leaders of the country, connecting that idea to appropriate behavior across party lines. Psaki agreed with his views that the recent conduct surrounding the attack on Pelosi trickles down from party leadership. “I mean, if your leader, if someone you’re thinking about electing and voting for is laughing in the face of an 82-year-old being brutally attacked with a hammer, I mean, that should be the bar,” Psaki said. “That should be a question. Is that the person you want to be governor? You don’t want them to be your neighbor, your kids’ coach. Do you want them to be leading your state?” Hayes then brought of Elon Musk’s involvement in the online dialogue about DePape’s attack. Psaki more broadly compared the muddied waters around the event to authoritarian regimes in Russia and China. she is right. this is very sick and deranged the way so many repubs are acting towards mr pelosi. silence is consent. some of you on here are just as vile as you posted bull**** and or laughed about while your side makes a mockery of democracy.yall thinking caving an 82 year old mans skull in is funny. you know who you are and you make me want to throw up. christians my ass. showing bull**** meme's about mr pelosi only emboldens more of your fringe to do something else stupid. to laugh at a man when he had his damn head caved in is sickening in itself. just like the rest of the lies you guys are not true christians because they do not act like that. and let me say this. if one republican called any of you out for that stupidity i sure have not seen it. and the small handful i have seen actually try to do the right thing you guys disreguard because they are rhino words have power over people. so does silence. not all of you but i will say most republicans suck. you lie about the election being stolen. you people do not care about an election you just want to take over.
  8. one thing i love and it is so refreshing is lac talking straight up with no bull. just the facts which is "we will show up and play hard".
  9. Capitol police failed to monitor House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's home despite a 24/7 security detail, cameras around her home and record numbers of death threats Isabella Zavarise 3 minutes House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attends her weekly news conference at the US Capitol on February 23, 2022 in Washington, DC.Win McNamee/Getty Images The Capitol police have 1,800 cameras, yet failed to monitor the video feed outside Nancy Pelosi's home. Law enforcement told The Washington Post the House Speaker receives the most death threats. Capitol Police installed cameras around the Pelosi property more than eight years ago. The Capitol police have 1,800 cameras used to monitor the Capitol and the homes of certain lawmakers and yet, nobody was watching the video feeds outside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's home the night her husband was attacked, according to a report from The Washington Post. Several current and former law enforcement officials spoke with The Post anonymously and said if the Capitol Police were going to prevent an attack at any member of Congress's home, they had the best chance of doing so at Pelosi's. One official added that Pelosi is the subject of the most violent death threats compared to any other lawmaker. Police attribute the level of threats the house speaker receives due to her being a woman, being second in line to the presidency, and being targeted by Republicans, per The Post. On Friday, suspect David DePape broke into the Pelosi residence and assaulted Paul Pelosi, the speaker's husband, with a hammer in a "politically motivated" attack. On Tuesday, DePape pleaded not guilty to charges including attempted murder and kidnapping. The Post reported the Capitol Police installed cameras around the House Speaker's property more than eight years ago and that she has a 24/7 security detail. The night of the attack, most of her security detail traveled with her to Washington, DC, and officers only partially monitored the video feeds outside her home, as per the outlet. In a press release on Tuesday, Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said that while there have been improvements, such as plans to hire 280 more officers this year, the country's "political climate" is going to require "additional layers of physical security." Pelosi has been the target of violent threats before. In March 2019, a man in Florida called her office to tell staff that he would "come a long, long way to rattle her head with bullets" and that he would behead her "jihadist style," according to court documents from his trial. Violent threats to lawmakers have increased dramatically in recent years, according to police. Data from the Capitol Police found that threats to Congressional lawmakers increased by 144% between

  14. Deion Sanders all ‘Primetime’ when asked about being linked to Auburn head coaching vacancy Updated: Nov. 02, 2022, 1:42 p.m.|Published: Nov. 02, 2022, 1:04 p.m. 3 minutes Deion Sanders talks Southern video and Texas Southern matchup A day after Auburn fired Bryan Harsin, Deion Sanders - considered a potential candidate for the job - was asked if he had been contacted by the Tigers. The Jackson State coach was pure “Primetime.” “I’ve heard from the Tigers ... Jackson State Tigers,” Sanders quipped during his weekly press conference. “I thought you was talking about Jackson State, my bad. Freudian slip.” RELATED: Sanders told “GameDay” he would entertain offers Despite the questions about Auburn, Sanders chose to deflect and make it about his SWAC program. “That’s a blessing — that’s truly a blessing,” Sanders said when asked about the Power 5 attention he is getting. “Sorry to interrupt, but I’ve got to get these points out. I don’t think too many African-American coaches from the HBCU has ever been attached to anything concerning the Power Five, so that’s truly a blessing. “We love to do things that hadn’t been done around here in Jackson State, and this is another prevalent thing that hadn’t been done that we’re doing.” RELATED: Lane Kiffin reacts to being potential candidate for Auburn job At the end of the day, the attention is nothing new for Sanders. “My name has been attached to many things in life, also a whole lot of headlines, so this ain’t new to me — I’m good,” Sanders said. “I’ve just got to make sure our coaches stay locked in and focused, as well as the kids. But attention and exposure, I’m not new to this. Great question, though.” On Saturday, as a guest on ESPN’s “College GameDay,” Sanders said he would entertain offers. “First, I have to stay focused,” Sanders said. “I have to maximize these moments and continue to dominate those moments. When we cross that hurdle, we’ll cross that hurdle. I’d be a fool and a liar to tell you I wouldn’t entertain those things because I am. But I have made no plans to move. Have made no plans to go anywhere. I have made plans to dominate today.” Auburn fired Harsin on Monday after less than two full seasons. Harsin went 9-12 overall and 3-5 this year. Auburn has lost four straight games while struggling against Power Five opponents, including a 41-27 loss to Arkansas on Oct. 29. Mark Heim is a sports reporter for The Alabama Media Group.

  16. Lane Kiffin responds to being potential candidate for Auburn job Published: Nov. 02, 2022, 12:49 p.m. 3-4 minutes Auburn Football Lane Kiffin responds to being potential candidate for Auburn’s head coaching vacancy Mississippi head coach Lane Kiffin speaks during NCAA college football Southeastern Conference Media Days, Monday, July 18, 2022, in Atlanta. (AP Photo/John Bazemore)AP Lane Kiffin has a strong online presence, so the Ole Miss coach has seen his name circulate online over the last two days after Auburn parted ways with head coach Bryan Harsin. Kiffin’s name has been associated with the opening, and he’s widely viewed as one of top candidates — if not the top candidate — for the position. AL.com previously reported that Kiffin was interested in the job the last time it came open after the 2020 season. During his appearance on Wednesday’s weekly SEC coaches teleconference, Kiffin was asked about his name being thrown around in relation to Auburn and whether he’d have interest in the job if the Tigers reached out. Read more Auburn football: Top coaching candidates to replace Bryan Harsin at Auburn “Yeah, we don’t really comment on those things, and they happen every year a lot of times, and all they are is a product of players performing well and assistant coaches,” Kiffin said. “We’re extremely happy here, got something really special going, have great support here from the administration and chancellor. You know, we’re just trying to get better and get ready to play the best program in the last 10 years of college football coming in here.” Kiffin’s Ole Miss team is ranked 11th in the first College Football Playoff rankings that came out Tuesday night. The Rebels are 8-1 on the season, with a 4-1 mark in SEC play as they hit the bye week, with a showdown against sixth-ranked Alabama looming next week. Kiffin is in his third season at Ole Miss, where he is 23-9 overall. Over the last two seasons, his teams are 18-4, including a 10-win season last year. Kiffin is a well-respected offensive mind who has turned Ole Miss into a contender, and after taking advantage of the transfer portal last offseason, he has proven he can quicky retool a roster in the current landscape of college football. He’s currently making $7.25 million at Ole Miss, so any interest from Auburn would surely require a considerable offer to sway him to leave what he’s building in Oxford, Miss. As for how he handles any potential distractions that come with his name popping up for other coaching vacancies, Kiffin said it’s not something he addresses with his team. The focus, he said, remains on the task at hand. “We have a pro mindset here,” Kiffin said. “Players have jobs to do, and coaches, and that’s how we run our program, so I don’t do anything about it because it’s got nothing to do with anything. We got to prepare well every day and be ready to play in the toughest conference, toughest division. It’s really like the NFL. Every week’s a grind. Every game.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group. Follow him on Twitter @Tomas_Verde.
  17. it says smack talk...................and this is just a sneak attack on you for all the hair sniffing crap. hurts doe it not? you thrwo all this slander up about biden when he is a decent guy and give trump a pass. i guess you think god sent him like many others do? i STILL see that mess all the time.
  18. trump took credit for damn near everything and blamed everyone else for his failures but i have yet to see you call him out on it. why? it makes you look petty and silly. and all you got is brandon strikes again. he is old. he is a hair sniffer. am i right. here is a short walk down memory lane scooter...........
  19. you remember the 3.1 trillion trump gave to himself and the rich folks? guess what. the repubs are looking to do it again. they want to extend it. and not forcing all corps to pay their fair share of taxes. and folks like rand paul ARE attacking entitlements which is social security,medicaid, and medicare. and who was the other guy that left politics claimed social security is a ponzi scheme and yet it was ok for that ponzi scheme through college.
  20. it is two different issues. come on man you can do better. do you think they would be on the same bill or something? lmao good grief
  21. i agree with ironman in that caddy is a national treasure. he is one of the things i thought gus got right.
  22. two separate problems. biden appears to be acting more christ like in my opinion. these folks are running away from gangs and murder and extreme poverty. they are desperate. hell some cubans took a boat from cuba to here during a recent hurricane. that is pretty desperate. it is true and i saw it on the news. i would rather anyone try something that say screw it let em die.
