  5. Auburn Tigers Sports Tank Bigsby gets back in stride in Auburn win against Ole Miss Updated: Oct. 30, 2021, 10:41 p.m. | Published: Oct. 30, 2021, 10:28 p.m. By Nubyjas Wilborn | nwilborn@al.com No. 18 Auburn mixed in some old school ground and pound in Saturday’s 31-20 victory against No. 10 Ole Miss in front of 87,451 at Jordan-Hare. Tank Bigsby rushed for 140 yards and a touchdown. Bigsby scored the second Tiger touchdown soaring over the Rebel defensive line into the south endzone with 1:49 left in the first quarter. Auburn took a 13-3 advantage in a game where they maintained a lead throughout. Bigsby’s leap came on a third and goal. The Tigers entered the game with lots of questions about their running game. “In my head, I was like ‘we can’t lose this game,’” Bigsby said. I did whatever I had to do to help us win this game. I always wanted to score with a jump like that. I saw how low their guys were, so I went for it. I said to myself, ‘I’m getting us a touchdown.’ Bigsby getting the touchdown started to answer the inquiries with empathic emphasis. His teammates realized Bigsby was ready for his first 100-yard rushing game since September 18 against Penn State. “I saw it in his eyes. I could tell he was going to go out there and ball. It was amazing,” linebacker Zakoby McClain told reporters after the game. “I knew he was going to turn up.” Bigsby did the heavy lifting on the ground, but he wasn’t alone. Quarterback Bo Nix ran for two touchdowns and 30 yards. Nix scored Auburn’s first touchdown with an 11-yard run on the Tigers’ initial possession of the game. Nix gave the Tigers a 20-10 lead with his second touchdown with 6:20 remaining in the first half. “It’s important for me to get involved in the run game,” Nix told reporters. “We have to get those yards when it’s time to run the ball. We finished drives in the first half and it started with Tank.” Auburn had 207 yards on the ground and needed them all. Jarquez Hunter had 40 yards on 12 carries. Bigsby got his yards on 23 touches. Beating Ole Miss was a combination of the defense holding the Rebels to three points in the second half and the offensive line making necessary blocks to free the runners. “We came into this game confident,” offensive lineman Brandon Council said. “Seeing Tank handle his business made us want to fight even harder. We needed to get back to running the ball and we did it.” Auburn’s win pushes their record to 6-2 and 2-1 in the conference. Next week the Tigers travel to Texas A & M for a road game against the Aggies. Nubyjas Wilborn is an Auburn beat writer for Alabama Media Group.
  6. Instant analysis: Auburn knocks off Ole Miss for 1st top-10 win since 2019 By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com 5-6 minutes Oct 30, 2021; Auburn, AL, USA; Bo Nix (10) rushes for a touchdown during the game between Auburn and Ole Miss at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Todd Van Emst/AU AthleticsTodd Van Emst/AU Athletics Bryan Harsin’s team is up to something in Year 1. Two weeks removed from a big-time road win against Arkansas, and fresh off a bye week, No. 18 Auburn picked up its second straight win against a ranked opponent — and its biggest win this season to date — by knocking off No. 10 Ole Miss, 31-20, Saturday night at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The Tigers (6-2, 3-1 SEC) never trailed against the Rebels (6-2, 3-2) thanks to an efficient first half performance offensively — building a double-digit lead by halftime thanks to strong efforts from Bo Nix and Tank Bigsby — and a tough-as-nails second-half showing from a defense that limited Lane Kiffin’s high-powered offense to a lone field goal after halftime. As Auburn continues to climb, with another shot at a top-25 win next week at No. 14 Texas A&M, here’s a look at how the Tigers picked up their biggest win of the Harsin era: Bo Nix’s stock continue to rise Two weeks ago, following arguably the best game of his career, Bo Nix was asked what has changed for him since his second-half benching against Georgia State. His response was “nothing really”—just that competition has brought out the best in him. The third-year quarterback continued to hot play over the last month, coming out of the bye with another exemplary performance for Auburn. He completed 22-of-30 for 276 yards and accounted for three total touchdowns — one passing and two with his legs. Nix guided Auburn to touchdowns on four of its five first-half drives, completing 12-of-15 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown, plus two rushing scores as the Tigers built an 11-point halftime advantage. Tank Bigsby returns to form Tank Bigsby opened the season with three consecutive 100-yard rushing performances, but his production fell off over the Tigers’ last four games. Harsin was asked a few weeks back if the sophomore running back was dealing with any sort of injury, and he said he wasn’t. Whatever was the case, Bigsby returned to form against Ole Miss — running hard and running angry to resurrect an Auburn rushing attack that has struggled in recent weeks. Bigsby ran for a season-high 140 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries. It was by far his best performance since running for 102 yards against Penn State in Week 3 of the season. He eclipsed his total from each of the last three games in the first quarter alone, running for 70 yards and a touchdown in the opening period. Bigsby’s resurgence helped elevate a rushing attack that had thus far struggled in SEC play. Auburn finished with 207 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the ground against Ole Miss, giving the Tigers their best rushing performance since Week 2 against Alabama State. Defensive adjustments help Auburn survive offensive lull Auburn had some trouble slowing down Ole Miss’ offense in the first half, at least when Matt Corral was in the game. The Heisman contender briefly exited the game with a left ankle injury but returned to keep the Rebels in the thick of things, completing 12-of-15 passes for 123 yards and a rushing touchdown in the first half. He hit Auburn with an array of slants and quick passes out of RPOs that kept the Tigers on their heels at times in the first half. Derek Mason and his unit adjusted at halftime, though, and it proved large for Auburn—especially as its own offense underwent a second-half lull. Auburn’s defense forced back-to-back three-and-outs to open the third quarter, and then it got a fourth-down stop on the edge of the red zone to keep Ole Miss off the board following a muffed punt by Demetris Robertson. On the Rebels’ ensuing drive, they got into the red zone after back-to-back plays of 20-plus yards — their first two such plays of the night—but then settled for a field goal after the Tigers’ defense forced three incompletions from Corral (and was aided by a pair of offensive penalties against Ole Miss). Auburn got another fourth-down stop on Ole Miss’ next drive, this time with Colby Wooden nearly sacking Corral on fourth-and-7 from the 13 and forcing the quarterback to throw the ball through the back of the end zone. The cherry on top of Auburn’s second-half defensive effort came with about 9 minutes to play, when Jaylin Simpson picked off Corral in the end zone after Ole Miss got down to the Auburn 14-yard line and threatened to cut into the Tigers’ 31-20 lead. Auburn’s defense added another fourth-down stop late in the fourth, as the Tigers (who entered the game with the nation’s fourth-best fourth-down defense) got stops on three of the four fourth-down attempts by the Rebels (who entered the night with the most fourth-down attempts and conversions in the country).

  15. Democrats’ Betrayals Are Jeopardizing American Democracy History is screaming at Democrats to both rescue the economy and save democracy from a meltdown. They’re doing the opposite This essay is being published in conjunction with the launch of Meltdown — a new eight-episode Audible series that debuts on Oct. 28. Find the podcast here. American democracy is in the midst of a meltdown — the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and Republicans’ intensifying crusade to limit voting rights and deny election results make that abundantly clear. Conflict-averse Democrats in Washington, D.C., are on the verge of letting this turn into a full-fledged nightmare. Torn between their corporate donors and the electorate, they are studiously avoiding the two key questions: What is really fueling this crisis? And how can it be stopped? The answer to the first question can be seen in headlines this week about billionaires growing their fortunes by $2 trillion during the pandemic, and now creating an overheated market for luxury yachts, all while one in five households just lost their entire life savings. Americans keep voting to change this crushing dystopia and yet they continue being force-fed more of the same — most recently with Democrats threatening to side with their financiers and abandon their whole economic agenda. Such betrayals from both parties have been telling more and more of the country that democracy is a farce. The way for Democrats to combat that disillusionment is to learn from their party’s history during the Great Depression and the Great Recession. In the former debacle, the Democratic Party halted a potential meltdown of democratic institutions by delivering real help to millions of people. In the latter crisis, the Democratic Party’s refusal to do the same resulted in the political meltdown that fueled the ascent of Donald Trump — and that continues to fuel the MAGA movement today. If insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results, then Democrats would be crazy to ignore these lessons at this moment of both opportunity and peril. ‘The Hope of Getting Something to Eat’ The first Democratic parable began almost 90 years ago, when America’s economy was ravaged by rampant speculation and then a stock-market crash, throwing tens of millions of people into abject poverty. As fascism rose in America — through the growth of local Nazi groups, Father Coughlin, and other conservative-media voices — Franklin Roosevelt cast his progressive economic initiatives as both a weapon to fight the economic crisis and a shield against right-wing authoritarianism. “The millions who are in want will not stand by silently forever while the things to satisfy their needs are within easy reach,” he said in a 1932 campaign speech at Oglethorpe University. “We need to correct, by drastic means if necessary, the faults in our economic system from which we now suffer.” Once elected, Roosevelt championed a then-radical program of government investments and interventions in the economy, directly employing millions of the jobless, investing in public infrastructure, and subjecting powerful financial institutions to tough regulations. Though the New Deal was hardly perfect, the agenda was an unprecedented investment in America’s working class, helping restore some faith in democratic government as a force for good. The year before a fulminating Nazi rally in a packed Madison Square Garden in New York, FDR warned that the global rise of fascism was the result of democratic governments doing the opposite of the New Deal and protecting an economic status quo enriching a tiny handful at the expense of everyone else. “Democracy has disappeared in several other great nations, not because the people of those nations disliked democracy, but because they had grown tired of unemployment and insecurity, of seeing their children hungry while they sat helpless in the face of government confusion and government weakness through lack of leadership,” he said in a 1938 radio address. “Finally, in desperation, they chose to sacrifice liberty in the hope of getting something to eat.” To know Roosevelt’s analysis was correct is to look at how his investments ultimately rescued the economy, beat back fascists, got him re-elected in landslide elections, and created a 40-year epoch we now call the New Deal era. His prescience was also confirmed by what concurrently happened in Germany, where leaders imposed spending cuts. “Austerity measures implemented between 1930 and 1932 immiserized and radicalized the German electorate,” found a recent study from economists and historians looking at Weimar Republic data showing a statistically significant link between local budget cuts and working-class voters’ support for the Nazi Party. “Austerity worsened the situation of low-income households, and the Nazi Party became very efficient at channeling the austerity-driven German suffering and mass discontent.” They conclude: “Imposing too much austerity and too many punitive conditions cannot only be self-defeating, but can also unleash a series of unintended political consequences, with truly unpredictable and potentially tragic results.” ‘The Siren Calls of Right-Wing Radical Populist Parties’ Fast-forward to the modern era, when America experienced the negative versions of these lessons and cautionary tales in the aftermath of the financial crisis. In 2008, Democrats won the presidency and a huge majority in Congress in a landslide election, after they promised transformative change to a nation ravaged by the same forces of corporate greed that had pillaged the country during FDR’s day. But soon after winning, Democrats did the opposite of Roosevelt. Led by President Barack Obama, Democrats used their new power to enrich their corporate donors with a multitrillion-dollar bailout, while throwing stimulus crumbs at the rest of the country. The Obama administration also refused to prosecute a single banker involved in the financial crisis and allowed bailout money to subsidize Wall Street bonuses, no doubt pleasing the finance-industry moguls who funneled a record amount of cash to Obama’s campaign. Then Democratic leaders rescinded the rest of that bailout money before it could be used for its intended purpose: to directly help millions of homeowners going into foreclosure. Perhaps most tone-deaf of all, Democrats mimicked what Weimar leaders did in the early 1930s — they championed an austerity agenda in the name of fiscal responsibility, launching a high-profile initiative to slash Social Security benefits amid an economic emergency. All of this played right into the hands of Republicans, who opposed every half-decent proposal in Congress but deftly positioned themselves to hit electoral pay dirt when Democrats joined in with their big donors. The result: Democrats were shellacked in the 2010 midterm elections, which saw fight-for-the-little-guy populism appropriated by a Koch-funded Tea Party movement and amplified by the reactionary rants of CNBC’s Rick Santelli, Fox News’ Glenn Beck, and every other Father Coughlin clone in conservative media. Obama did manage to win a second term two years later, but his re-election bid benefited from random good fortune: He was lucky enough to face Mitt Romney, a caricature of Gordon Gekko so flagrantly aristocratic that a GOP primary opponent once suggested he looks like “the guy who laid you off” — and indeed, he might have. The trend, though, persisted: As Obama and his party continued to deliver high-profile giveaways to Wall Street while the rest of the country suffered, voters by the end of his second term had punished Democrats with the largest losses in the party’s modern history. Trump’s 2016 campaign was the ultimate exclamation point. It was fueled by a predictable meltdown in people’s faith in government to do anything other than enrich the rich and empower the powerful. His victory was powered by him dishonestly portraying himself as an anti-Wall Street populist — and the specific way he won rhymed with the bleak trends of the 1930s. Hammering Democrats for not delivering real help to the working class, Trump was buoyed by a 10-point spike in the GOP vote share in the American counties that saw life expectancy stagnate or decline, according to research from Boston University’s Jacob Bor. That dynamic echoed the 1930s, when there was “a significant association between mortality rates and increasing vote shares for the Nazi Party in 1930s Germany,” according to Bor and his fellow Weimar researchers, who ultimately concluded that “when people are suffering, they may be more open to the siren calls of right-wing radical populist parties.” The Danger of a Permanent Meltdown This isn’t to directly liken Trump and his followers to Nazis. But look no further than the Charlottesville uprising, the Jan. 6 insurrection, or a typical Trump rally to know that the MAGA movement’s authoritarianism and bigotry echo some of the dark themes of the 1930s. And polls show those events are influencing public opinion — recent survey data suggests more than a quarter of Americans today hold views that are right-wing authoritarian. As scholars now rightly warn that American democracy is facing an existential crisis, all of this history is begging Democrats to rediscover their roots and channel their most popular and successful president, FDR. And for a brief moment, party leaders seemed to understand that — at the beginning of Joe Biden’s presidency, there was indeed talk of going big on everything from expanding Medicare to strengthening union rights, from reducing families’ crushing debt to making New Deal–style investments in physical infrastructure and direct employment. After all, much of that is what Biden promised during his election campaign. However, after an initial burst of investment in a Covid-19 pandemic relief bill, Biden and congressional Democrats have consistently retreated in the face of opposition from their corporate donors and an army of business lobbyists. Democrats’ equivalent of a new New Deal — a reconciliation spending bill to bolster the social safety net — started out at $6 trillion, moved down to $4 trillion, then to $3.5 trillion, then below $2 trillion. And now party leaders are reportedly bowing to their corporate donors, stripping out wildly popular provisions to reduce medicine prices, expand Medicare benefits, and give workers paid family leave, after they already abandoned a promised $15 minimum wage. This has been happening at the same time coastal-state Democrats are making headlines demanding giant new regressive tax breaks that mostly benefit wealthy homeowners — a move that would provide Republican leaders a new opportunity to depict Democrats as more focused on satiating rich elites than on helping the working class. Meanwhile, Biden has refused to use his existing executive authority to lower drug prices, cancel student debt, and more widely distribute vaccine recipes to combat the pandemic. If these cuts end up sticking, and if Biden keeps refusing to wield power to help the country, Democrats may have placated the industries that bankroll their campaigns, but they will have made it harder to convince midterm-election voters that Americans’ lives have improved under the party’s reign. Democratic candidates will be left begging voters to support them as a last line of defense of democracy against the kind of insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol earlier this year. But here’s the thing: If Americans keep using democratic institutions to try to fix the country, and those institutions keep ignoring them and prioritizing big donors, many voters may simply stop believing in democracy. At minimum, protecting democracy might not be much of a motivating force compelling people to turn out at the polls. That loss of faith wouldn’t be sudden — it has been happening in countless ways in a system in which the “preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically nonsignificant impact upon public policy,” as a landmark study from Princeton and Northwestern university researchers documented all the way back in 2014. Specific indignities accelerate the erosion. As just one recent example: If voters keep being promised that electing Democrats will reduce prescription-drug prices, and polls show drug-pricing measures are the most popular part of Democrats’ spending bill, and Democrats choose to help their pharmaceutical donors strip those provisions out of their own bill, then guess what? Lots of people being fleeced by medicine prices may decide their votes don’t matter; they may feel less invested in protecting democracy, and they may not care much about Republican attempts to make it harder for people to vote. As billionaires hit a jackpot in the past year, millions of Americans lost their health insurance, and millions more are teetering on the brink of eviction and bankruptcy. If the ruling party fails to deliver help amid that kind of emergency, it would be regrettable but hardly surprising for millions of people to choose “to sacrifice liberty in the hope of getting something to eat,” in the words of FDR. That sacrifice is not inevitable — Democrats don’t have to repeat the Obama years of corporate fealty and compromise that led to the Trump presidency, and that corrupt, impulsively vain regime doesn’t have to be a prelude to something even worse. Democrats still have time to wake up, realize the existential threat before them, channel Roosevelt, and enact policies that immediately help people in order to avert an even bigger meltdown than the one in 2016. But time is running out. Daily Poster editor-in-chief David Sirota and Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney are the executive producers of the new podcast series Meltdown, which explores the aftermath of the financial crisis.
  16. was joe lee the guy that never wore socks? i remember writers and broadcasters both talking about it but my memory is hanky so i have no idea. i miss my memory..........
  17. those i did not try. but willies is a vape pen and is probably the best all around i ever smoked. willie knows his weed. if i run out i would run to the d8 store but to be honest i bet they close them down as soon as they can. better than moon rocks tho i think the moonrocks i was given were flawed. but since vaping is so much stronger just regular smoke is not quite as good. to me anyway.
  18. yes we have one locally but it is pricey and after smoking some of willie nelsons willies reserve it is basically crap for getting a buzz. but i am told their cbd oil is popular with my fellow seniors for pain relief. thanks tho i appreciate it...
  19. Ole Miss offensive line gearing up for Auburn's 'athletic' defensive front MICHAEL KATZ Daily Journal 4 minutes OXFORD – The Auburn defensive line creates problems. And Ole Miss sophomore tackle Jeremy James knows the onus is on him and his trenchmates to make sure redshirt junior quarterback Matt Corral remains upright. The No. 10 Rebels (6-1 overall, 3-1 SEC) face the No. 18 Tigers (5-2, 2-1) Saturday night at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Ole Miss, which hasn’t beaten Auburn since 2015, will have its hands full with the Tigers’ stout defensive front. Three different Auburn players have notched four sacks — defensive ends Colby Wooden, Derick Hall and Eku Leota – and are the only SEC team to accomplish the feat thus far. The trio is a coach's dream of lengthy edge rushers, with each standing at least 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds. As a team, Auburn tied for 31st nationally in sacks per game (2.71) and fourth with 7.3 tackles per loss a game. Conversely, Ole Miss allows 2.29 sacks per game, tied for 72nd nationally. “They’re really athletic and physical. Their edge guys, they get off the ball quick. They’re going to create some pressure,” James said. “We just have to do our jobs, use our technique.” It’s been somewhat a revolving door on the Ole Miss offensive line lately, with senior guard Ben Brown and sophomore guard Caleb Warren having missed game action. The tackles spots are secured, though, with James and junior Nick Broeker. All of the moving parts have led to some increased responsibility from the veterans. “We help them when we can,” James said. “Every older guy, just do your part to help the younger guys.” In recent weeks, it has been redshirt freshman guard Cedric Melton and senior guard Jordan Rhodes filling in on the interior for Brown and Warren. Rhodes is a graduate transfer from South Carolina who joined the team in the fall, while Melton is a young player who didn’t see any snaps during the 2020 season. For Melton, the last few weeks have been somewhat of a baptism by fire. “I must say, it’s a totally different ballgame than what it was when I played back in high school,” Melton told reporters last week. “They’re so much faster. You have to really know what you’re doing, be quick about it and everything. It’s different. It’s a different beast.” Kiffin talks Bo Nix While the Ole Miss offensive line faces a steep challenge in Auburn’s front, the Rebels’ defensive line will have its hands full with junior quarterback Bo Nix. Over his three years as the Tigers’ quarterback, Nix has had a knack for extending plays long after they should have been deemed dead. Auburn has surrendered just seven sacks as a team this season, and Nix’s niftiness in the pocket and outside of it are big reasons why. In last year’s game, a 35-28 Auburn victory, Nix completed just under 77 percent of his passes for 238 yards and a touchdown and also ran for 52 yards and a score. He threw for 340 yards against the Rebels in 2019. Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin didn’t want to give away much of his defense’s game plan for Nix come Saturday. “Just tell them exactly what we’re going to do?” Kiffin said with a smile. “I’ll give you coach speak for the first time ever. Basically, when you have people like that, you have to stay in your lanes, you have to push the pocket. You have to keep your eyes on him and not try to speed rush.”
  20. hey man i am always looking for a new place to score some hoobie. those cats might hook me up just sayin............
