you know it is bad when you can keep up on the game thread.

i know cohen was a surprise but i read where they had two different guys coming to the game interested in the AD position?

the left side of our line has just let people blow right by them. i wonder if robby wishes he was still out west.

the team is a reflection of harsin. all he does is give them poor coaching and throws them under the bus after the games never taking any blame for himself.

well he makes me mad so i figured that was most of us...............

dammit man! i could have had a v8.............but i love my tigers too much not to pull for them.

man our kids work their behind off and deserve better than this crap show.

i felt like you angry or something. ju8st making sure i double checked before i posted. did they say why they did this?

you need to take that up with the university. they announced it and one of our members here is at the game and heard it. and it was mentioned again as well as being posted on the rant. i went with what was said.

how weird is this? why say holder and start robby? i do not care who starts but that is crazy. i

it is true

why would you wait?

5 questions for an Arkansas Beat Writer Published: Oct. 28, 2022, 6:30 a.m. 4-5 minutes Auburn (3-4, 1-3 SEC) hosts Arkansas (4-3, 1-3 SEC) Saturday (11 am CT SEC Network), with both teams returning from an open week. Bryan Harsin is 9-1 in his career as a head coach after bye weeks. Auburn downed Arkansas last season 38-23 on the road. The Tigers enter the game this season on a three-game losing streak and Harsin is 9-11 in his second season on the Plains. Any opportunity for Harsin to return for a third season would be easier with a win against Arkansas. An Auburn loss could send an already angry fan base into overdrive. Read More Auburn Football: Sorting out the facts on Bryan Harsin’s redshirt policy at Auburn Auburn wide receiver plans to enter transfer portal in December Former Auburn starting wide receiver to enter transfer portal, becomes 10th 2021 signee to leave To preview this weekend’s pivotal showdown, AL.com caught up with Arkansas beat writer Bob Holt of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette to answer five critical questions about the game. You can follow Holt on Twitter (@BobHoltADG) for more Arkansas coverage. Here are our five questions: 1. These teams met under much different circumstances last season. What’s the biggest difference in Arkansas from last year to now? Holt: I’d say the biggest difference is Treylon Burks, one of the best receivers in Arkansas history, has moved on to the NFL and was a first-round draft pick by the Titans. The Razorbacks brought in some good receivers form the transfer portal — Jaden Haselwood from Oklahoma and Matt Landers (who began his career at Georgia) from Toledo — and they’ve played solid, and they have some young guys who are starting to show up in the passing game like Ketron Jackson and Bryce Stephens. But no one can replace Burks’ big-play ability. 2. What makes KJ Jefferson special? Jefferson is a true dual-threat who rushes the ball like a running back, but also has a strong arm and has been pretty accurate. He also has the ability to make nearly impossible plays such as at BYU when he appeared to be sacked, but broke three tackles and hit tight end Trey Knox for a 36-yard gain. He’s been durable while taking a lot of hits and has missed just one game (at Mississippi State this season) in two years as the starter. 3. How fun is it to watch Raheim Sanders? ANSWER: Sanders is a lot of fun to watch, and he has a great nickname — “Rocket.” He’s taken to carrying a heavy load literally in becoming one of the top runners in the country. He’s lost two fumbles, but in both games (against Missouri State and BYU) he came back and had career-rushing days to help Arkansas win. He’s also a dangerous receiver. 4. How is Sam Pittman on a regular basis? Holt: Pittman is a pretty down-to-earth guy and very personable, which is why he’s such a great recruiter. But he also can be tough when needed. He made changes to his staff each year that he felt were necessary. Arkansas is really his dream job — he grew up a Razorbacks’ fan in nearby Grove, Okla. — and he’s appreciative of having been a career offensive line coach who got his shot to be an SEC head coach at age 58. Pittman was a big part of Bret Bielema’s staff at Arkansas from 2013-15, and it’s no coincidence that when Pittman left for Georgia, things took a downturn for the Razorbacks, and Bielema was fired after the 2017 season. The fact Pittman’s offensive linemen at Arkansas lobbied for him to get the head coaching job speaks volumes about his connection with his players. 5. Players to watch on offense and defense for the Razorbacks? Holt: The players to watch on offense include QB KJ Jefferson, RB Rocket Sanders, and WR Jaden Haselwood. The guys to watch on defense include linebackers Drew Sanders (a transfer from Alabama) and Bumper Pool (Arkansas’ career leader in tackles) and cornerback Dwight McGlothern (a transfer from LSU who has 3 interceptions).

Tiger Buzz: Auburn vs. Arkansas TV info, key matchups and what to watch for Updated: Oct. 28, 2022, 12:11 p.m.|Published: Oct. 28, 2022, 8:00 a.m. 4-5 minutes Head 2 Head: Auburn vs. Arkansas Auburn (3-4, 1-3 SEC) vs. Arkansas (4-3, 1-3) When: 11 a.m. CT, Saturday Where: Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn. TV: SEC Network Line: Arkansas -3.5 Bet $5, win $200 on Auburn vs. Arkansas at DraftKings This game will determine... Whether Auburn has a chance to turn things around this season. The Tigers have dominated the series against the Razorbacks for much of the last decade, and Bryan Harsin’s teams are 9-1 all-time coming off a bye week during his head coaching career. If Auburn is to correct course — and get back to .500 on the year — now is the time for it to happen. Three things to look for... 1. Can Auburn sustain its success on the ground? Auburn had its best rushing performance of the season its last time out, running for 301 yards, four touchdowns and 6.27 yards per carry in its loss to Ole Miss. It was the Tigers’ best rushing performance against a Power 5 opponent since the 2017 Arkansas game. Now, with an extra week of preparation and rest, it’s time to see if Auburn can keep Tank Bigsby and Jarquez Hunter rolling. 2. How will another turbulent week off the field impact Auburn on it? Auburn saw a slew of players leave the program this week, with four announcing their intent to transfer in recent days: defensive lineman Zykeivous Walker, wide receivers Landen King and Tar’Varish Dawson Jr., and cornerback A.D. Diamond. Are those departures a sign of unrest within the program, or will the Tigers overcome those distractions and show up with purpose Saturday against the Razorbacks? 3. Can Auburn curb its turnover issues? Auburn enters Saturday’s game with the nation’s worst turnover margin (minus-11 on the year). The Tigers have lost the turnover battle in five of their seven games this season, and they’ve committed multiple turnovers in just as many. Avoiding those thrown-away possessions will be crucial for Auburn if it hopes to get back on track coming out of the bye week. Key matchup Auburn’s front seven against Arkansas’ run game. The Razorbacks run the ball more than any team outside of the three service academies—Air Force, Army and Navy—and they boast a top-10 rushing attack in the FBS, averaging 240 yards per game and a shade below 5 yards per carry. They also feature the SEC’s leading rusher in Raheim Sanders (124.29 yards per game and seven rushing touchdowns). That’s a tall enough order as is, but it’s compounded by Auburn’s porous run defense, which has given up 740 yards, nine touchdowns and 6.85 yards per carry in the last two games. The Tigers are last in the SEC and 119th nationally in run defense, allowing 204.43 yards per game (and 4.85 yards per carry), and they’ve allowed 19 rushing touchdowns. Against Power 5 opponents, those numbers are worse: 260.6 yards per game and 5.54 yards per carry. By the numbers 29 — Auburn’s average margin of victory against Arkansas during the Tigers’ six-game winning streak in the series. Key injuries Auburn — OL Nick Brahms out (retired), OL Tate Johnson out (elbow), QB Zach Calzada out (shoulder), Edge Eku Leota out (pectoral), RB Jordon Ingram out (knee), WR Landen King out (transfer), WR Tar’Varish Dawson Jr. out (transfer), DL Zykeivous Walker out (transfer), CB A.D. Diamond out (transfer) Arkansas — QB Kade Renfro out (knee), DB Jalen Catalon out (shoulder). Arkansas player to watch KJ Jefferson, quarterback. Since we already touched on running back Raheim Sanders, let’s take a look at Jefferson, the Razorbacks’ 6-foot-3, 242-pound dual-threat quarterback. Jefferson has completed 67.7 percent of his passes this season for 1,463 yards, 14 touchdowns and just one interception while averaging 9.1 yards per pass attempt (which is tied for 12th among all qualifying FBS passers). He has also rushed for 344 yards — the second most among SEC quarterbacks — and four touchdowns. Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group. Follow him on Twitter @Tomas_Verde.

Rich McGlynn on time as Auburn’s interim AD, status of football facility Updated: Oct. 27, 2022, 8:20 p.m.|Published: Oct. 27, 2022, 7:40 p.m. 5-6 minutes More than two months have passed since Allen Greene announced he was stepping down as Auburn’s athletics director. It has been 57 days since the university had a full-time AD and 44 since Rich McGlynn was named the program’s interim AD. While Auburn president Dr. Chris Roberts continues with his meticulous national search for school’s 16th all-time athletics director, McGlynn took a moment Thursday evening to reflect on his time in the interim role during an appearance on the “Tiger Talk” radio show. Read more Auburn sports: Finally at home on offense, “nasty” Jeremiah Wright brings welcome mean streak to Auburn O-line Former starting wide receiver to enter transfer portal, becomes 10th of 18 2021 signees to leave Auburn Sorting out the facts on Bryan Harsin’s redshirt policy at Auburn “I don’t know what’s going to happen long-term, but I know this, people when they look at me are going to say, ‘That man had fun being the athletic director,’ and that’s exactly what I’m doing every day,” McGlynn said. “I’m having a blast.” McGlynn, who prior to earning the interim tag served as the program’s executive associate athletics director of compliance, has been a fixture at Auburn athletics events the last month and a half. It has been a busy schedule, but of course the job has entailed more than just being seen publicly supporting the Tigers’ athletics programs. It has also been about keeping the athletics department afloat during a time of uncertainty. One of his goals, he said, has been “trying to make sure we bring back that Auburn family feel” within the athletics complex. “Obviously, change is hard for everybody, so one of the things I wanted to make sure was I was just righting the ship,” McGlynn said. “I was just making sure that people know it’s going to be OK. No matter what’s going to happen in the future, the Auburn family’s going to stick together. We’re family, we’re going to take care of each other, and we’re going to ensure that no matter who leads the athletics department, we’re going to be in good hands, because as the Auburn family together, we can do anything.” McGlynn has been a strong internal candidate for the full-time role, as a popular figure within the department and with notable support from Auburn men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl, certainly the most popular figure on campus and the biggest personality within Auburn athletic. McGlynn and Pearl have developed a strong relationship over the years, as McGlynn as been the sport administrator for men’s basketball, and in his compliance role he helped the program navigate the NCAA investigation that stemmed from the 2017 FBI investigation that rocked college basketball. Of course, McGlynn hasn’t been the only candidate, as Roberts has conducted a “competitive national search” for Auburn’s next athletics director. The university president, who took over that title in May, has played the search close to the vest, with little information trickling out since Greene’s resignation. On the day McGlynn was tabbed as interim athletics director, Roberts said additional details about the search would be made available in the coming weeks, but no public remarks have come from the president’s office in the five weeks since. While McGlynn is uncertain about how things will play out for him as the search winds down, he’s enjoying what time he has had overseeing the athletics department. He also provided an update Thursday on the program’s new football-specific facility, which was recently announced as the Woltosz Football Performance Center. According to McGlynn, the university is putting the finishing touches on the facility, which began construction in March 2021 and was budgeted to cost $92 million. “We’re getting really close,” McGlynn said. “We’re probably a couple weeks out. We’re still trying to get some furniture in; COVID slowed some things down, and just that supply chain, trying to get everything in. So, we’re getting close. McGlynn expects an unveiling ceremony within the next two weeks, around Nov. 10 or 11, with a plan for the football program to move into the facility sometime in December. “We’re really excited,” McGlynn said. “We think it’s a gamechanger—the building itself, the facility, all the access the student-athletes are going to have, the locker room’s phenomenal, and so we’re really excited about it.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group.

Five reasons why Auburn beats Arkansas on Saturday Taylor Jones 3-4 minutes Auburn returns from the bye week to face an evenly-matched opponent in the Arkansas Razorbacks. This game is seen as a toss-up by both ESPN and BetMGM. BetMGM is currently listing Arkansas as the -3.5 point favorite, while the ESPN Football Power Index gives Auburn a 56.3% chance to earn the win. Buy Tigers Tickets The game could go in either team’s favor, so it is important to take a deep look into the factors that Auburn has a clear advantage. History is on the side of the Tigers, as well as the need for Auburn to win for the sake of the fanbase. Auburn has the athletes to get the job done but will need to execute at a high level in front of the home crowd in order to grab the victory. Here are five things that will be in Auburn’s favor, and should help them grab the win on Saturday. Austin Perryman/AU Athletics Through seven games, Arkansas remains one of the worst pass defenses in the country. As it stands, the Razorbacks allow 315 yards per game through the air, which ranks No. 128 in the nation. Robby Ashford is still looking to build an identity as a passer, and Saturday’s game with Arkansas could be an opportunity to continue his development. He threw for 337 yards in a loss to LSU in September, he could mirror that performance on Saturday. Todd Van Emst/AU Athletics Saturday’s game at Jordan-Hare Stadium will feature a game between two of the SEC’s best running backs who also possess awesome nicknames. Arkansas’ Raheim “Rocket” Sanders leads the SEC in rushing with 870 yards, while Tank Bigsby has rushed for just 524. Sanders may have a great day running the football, but expect Bigsby to have the best day of the season as well. The last game that Arkansas played against a solid rushing attack was Alabama, who rushed for 352 yards against them. If Bigsby gets going, Auburn could post similar numbers on Saturday. Jake Crandall-USA TODAY NETWORK Arkansas has had this date circled on the calendar for months, as they look to check off another “first” in the Sam Pittman era… beating Auburn. The Razorbacks had the chance to snap another long losing streak to Alabama at home earlier this month, but a tough first half could not be overcome, and Arkansas extended their losing streak to 16 games over Alabama. The pressure to end the streak could be too much for Arkansas to bear this weekend, which could be a good sign for Auburn. Jake Crandall / USA TODAY NETWORK Yes, I know Auburn has dropped two home games this season. But those two games were against teams that are currently ranked in the top 25. Arkansas has struggled away from home this season. Arkansas has dropped two contests on the road and had to pull away from BYU late in the game to earn the win on Oct. 15. Saturday’s game at Jordan-Hare Stadium will be the biggest crowd that Arkansas has played in front of this season, and most of the fans in attendance will be against them. Michael Chang/Getty Images The natives are getting restless in Auburn, and need their Tigers to pull out a win. Auburn has dropped three straight games and has plenty of time to right the ship, but they need to earn the win on Saturday in order to take a giant step forward in ending the season stro

not sure what arkie has to do with the locker room other than we are playing them?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) and her husband Paul Pelosi arrive for an event at the White House on Sept. 23. (Susan Walsh/Associated Press) Elections have consequences, as the saying goes. So, too, does the rhetoric surrounding elections. To say our politics have coarsened over the past few decades is like noting that temperatures drop and daylight shortens as we settle into autumn. It's so obvious, it seems the natural order of things. But it's a choice we've made and grown to accept, and even embrace. The most strident among us are lavished with attention — book contracts, TV ratings, millions of followers on social media. Those who provoke and outrage win office and legions of devotees. As our politics have grown less ideological — a belief in bigger vs. smaller government, support for higher or lower taxes — and more theological, the difference between Democrat and Republican has increasingly been cast in terms of good vs. evil. Taken to its illogical extreme, the result is violence, like the attack early Friday on Paul Pelosi by an assailant who invaded his San Francisco home in apparent hopes of assassinating his wife, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She was in Washington, with her protective detail, at the time of the break-in. Paul Pelosi, 82, who was bludgeoned with a hammer, was hospitalized and underwent surgery Friday. Political violence is, of course, nothing new. This country was founded in a revolution, fought a Civil War to end the bondage of its Black citizens and has witnessed countless individuals killed for espousing contrary or unpopular beliefs. Those events are part of history. What assaults us today are seemingly endless accounts, one after another, of lawlessness and political vigilantism. Death threats. A plot to kidnap Michigan's governor. Self-appointed watchdogs swarming polls and menacing voters. Insurrectionists sentenced for invading the Capitol at the behest of a power-mad president. Much of the blame rests on Republican shoulders, as many of the faithful have embraced outlandish and frankly nutty QAnon theories that paint Democrats as a party of devil-worshiping pedophiles. But the animosity — if not outlandish caricature — runs both ways. Repeated polls have found Democrats questioning the goodwill and patriotism, not to mention judgment, of Republicans. It's no longer just the fringe acting out. "What's new is we have violent sentiments in the mainstream of America," said Robert Pape, a University of Chicago expert on political extremism. A September survey he helped conduct found 5% of American adults believed the use of force was justified in restoring Donald Trump to the presidency. That may seem like a small number, but it represents 13 million people. As Pape noted, "Thirteen million is way too big a number to think of as the fringe." Politics, which is too often disparaged, is how we settle our differences without taking up arms. Or, at least, it's supposed to be. When the disagreement between parties, party loyalists and the other side grow shrouded in fear and conspiracy theories, it should not be surprising when someone unhinged lashes out. "I want to be clear," Rep. Adam Kinzinger tweeted after news of the attack on Pelosi. "When you convince people that politicians are rigging elections, drink babies blood, etc, you will get violence." Tellingly, the Illinois Republican was speaking from the political wilderness; Kinzinger was effectively excommunicated from his party for voting to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6 riot and agreeing to serve on the House committee investigating the attempted coup. Hours before the assault on Paul Pelosi, billionaire Elon Musk assumed ownership of Twitter. It was a coincidence of timing and geography. (Twitter headquarters is less than three miles from the Pelosi residence.) But it doesn't bode well. The social media site has been a slough of hate speech, disinformation and ad hominem attack, contributing in a major way to the polluting of our politics. Musk has promised to unleash even more vitriol and hostility by raising the gates and lifting the barriers to Twitter's already foul content. Words matter. Provocation has consequences. Pelosi's alleged assailant, David DePape, 42, was apparently well-marinated in a stew of crazy right-wing theories about "the elites/ruling class." The incitement to violence will stop only when those vested with authority, be it elected office, social media platform or national TV audience, are made to pay a price. The criminal and dangerous will land in court. Those who inspire them must also be held to account.

i plan on trashing that joint too.........grins

i am sorry to see you go.

Marjorie Taylor Greene warns companies that stopped donations to 2020 election deniers: You won’t ‘be forgotten’ 173 Julia Shapero Fri, October 28, 2022 at 9:16 AM·1 min read In this article: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Wednesday fired a warning shot to companies that halted donations to GOP 2020 election deniers after the Capitol riot, saying their decision is “not going to be forgotten.” “This is something that they should all know,” Greene told former Trump White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon, while appearing on his show on Wednesday. “That’s not going to be forgotten by a whole bunch of my Republican colleagues.” Major corporations halted their political donations in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, with many promising not to support the 147 lawmakers who voted against certifying the results of the 2020 election. However, those companies have largely resumed PAC spending since, donating millions to candidates who continue to deny the legitimacy of President Biden’s election. - ADVERTISEMENT - Greene on Wednesday promised investigations into these companies as Republicans appear poised to take control of the House after November’s midterm elections. Fortune 500 companies appear to be anticipating such a move from a Republican-controlled House and have begun retaining major law firms with GOP relationships, according to Axios.
