i remember when folks were shocked when coach dye was picked. then he gave that sixty mins speech concerning bama. i think we have another coach dye who will get this team into shape with hard work. but i am just a fan and certainly no expert.

i imagine harsins mindset is kinda like the military. they could care less who you are in boot camp. they are going to tear you down and retrain you in a lot of things. they get a team of men and get them all laser focused. tubs they say took mostly a bunch of three stars and coached em up. gus i think was hit or miss. he left us with some nice pieces and also some glaring weaknesses. i am also not sure how well some players were coached up. many think it was a weakness. i think coach harsin is the right guy at the right time. i do however believe that if coach tanks we will still be in a better place than we were. so i am saying i think harsin will get it right but i am not sure how big of a learning curve there is. and it probably does not matter to many but i bet coach dye would be thrilled with the hire.

oh yes. my dogs are inside dogs and i give them each a benadryl. i play the tv and or the stereo louder and i make sure they have a lot of chews so they will hopefully concentrate on them more. look i get fire works and the joy. i have kids next door that will shoot them like they do every single year for several years now. they are great kids and i will not stop their fun but it is hard watching one of your mutts shaking like she is freezing to death. hell i bought them cbd oil tabs but they did not work. i can not like something.......well not like the effect of something and still not be a dick. yes i take care of my dogs. and for the record it is against the law to shoot off fireworks in the city limits and i have yet to call the popo on anyone.

i know most people consider recruiting part of football and i agree but things trouble me. it seems the same four or five teams are always in the playoffs every single year. and i am not saying schools do not bust their butts to get these kids but in the big scheme of things is it really fair? years ago we changed the number of players any school could have to level the playing field. bama damn near kept around a hundred more kids than auburn did, right? so for all the teams that could only have like a hundred or so schollie players did alabama not double that? and what was fair about that? so they changed the rule to 85 and walk ons and it made it a little more fair. now bama is getting five star recruits and all americans at a rate few other colleges can keep up with. how do you come close to that without cheating? i think recruiting is crooked as hell and i believe auburn is paying for it. i think it will take time for harsin to get his brand going. but if they trot bo out and he is vastly improved his creds go up.if the d starts whipping some serious butt our creds go up.if returning players get the word out about how auburn has changed etc i think helps. if he gets a signature win people will take notice. i am not so sure people are down on harsin so much as they are just not so sure what to expect. people think they play lesser talent so everyone i think is kind of taking a wait and see approach. and we do have a ton of ground to cover before we catch up. i would be mailing packages to every single high school we recruit. JC's as well.

i personally think the capital stuff is the beginning of the end for this country.people died directly or from things that happened. two cops killing themselves in shame and yet the repubs are pro popo? the flag? nothing more than props to fire up the easily mislead. one of the biggest tragedies of our country is when ronnie basically destroyed mental health help in this country.and now that any idiot can get a gun have we reached the point of no return? guns should be regulated like cars with training and insurance and all that.

i loved fireworks as a kid. i shot them probably at every single opportunity i had. then i discovered what they they do to dogs and even wild life. it terrorizes them. talking to bets online the ones that fought to a person i have talked to hate fireworks. it takes them back to horrors most of us can never imagine or would even want to. and sadly as patriotic as many americans claim to be it only goes so far. they will still shoot off fireworks in their hoods and could care less who it hurts. for the record the first time i saw a dog going crazy from it i quit. and now that vets have come to light talking about the triggers and all i would not shoot them for any amount of money. and while i am politely venting what about the poppy's? why do we use the poppy to raise money for vets when so many of our kids and crew have become addicted to heroin? does anyone get this besides me? we use symbols of pain and addiction to celebrate our country and vets. it makes no sense. cuss and discuss..........

if i could afford it i would buy an hour of that alabama player worm trucked just so i could ask him over and over how it feels to get trucked like that. anyone think i could make it the hour? lol

my birthday is aug 16. i would really love an old golf ball signed golf to go in my legends collection. laugh if ya want to you guys already know i am crazy..............

What Auburn players, fans should expect when NIL law begins Thursday By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com 5-6 minutes Dec 5, 2020; Auburn AL, USA; Tank Bigsby reacts during the game between Auburn and Texas A&M at Jordan Hare Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Shanna Lockwood/AU Athletics Shanna Lockwood/AU Athletics A new era of college athletics is on the horizon. Beginning Thursday, college athletes will be permitted to profit off their name, image and likeness, ushering in a new dynamic across the college sports landscape. As Auburn athletics director Allen Greene put it last month while speaking to the media in Birmingham, it’s time for these athletes to “make some money” come July 1. It will be the start of something that many believed to be long overdue, as college athletes will have the opportunity to earn fair-market value for their NIL. This seismic shift in the NCAA landscape was years in the making, and it was fast-tracked in the last year or so as many state governments began drafting and passing their own NIL laws, with July 1 the target date for the enactment of several of them. That includes Alabama, which in April passed its version of NIL legislation. Under the state law, student-athletes will be allowed to profit off their NIL at market value while also being permitted to hire attorneys and agents to represent them for the sole purpose of earning NIL compensation. The law includes its share of stipulations, including restrictions that universities can implement on the types of companies that players sign agreements with—including the likes of tobacco, alcohol, adult entertainment, gambling companies and casinos. Athletes may also be forbidden from inking deals with brand that are in direct conflict with those that their school is already under contract with. At Auburn, that likely means that players won’t be allowed to sign deals with Nike or other major athletics brands, given that the program is sponsored by Under Armour. As part of the state law, athletes must also disclose all proposed contracts to the school before signing any deals and before receiving any compensation for sponsorships. Administrators, boosters, coaches or school sponsors are also not permitted to compensate players for the use of their NIL, nor is NIL compensation supposed to be used to entice perspective student-athletes, under Alabama’s law. The NCAA, meanwhile, is expected to adopt its own interim NIL policy on Wednesday, which is designed to be a placeholder until federal NIL legislation can be passed. The interim agreement would allow student-athletes to take advantage of NIL laws within their state, while those in states that have yet to pass NIL legislation can still benefit off their name, image and likeness without violating any NCAA rules. Pay-for-play and dangling benefits in recruiting would still be prohibited under the NCAA’s interim policy. Schools and conferences are also permitted to adopt their own policies. That’s something Auburn’s athletics department has been planning for and working toward as July 1 approaches. The program last month announced it was launching SPIRIT, a comprehensive NIL program designed to “educate and empower student-athletes and prepare them to optimize upcoming NIL opportunities.” The program is set to include assistance from industry-leading experts when it comes to brand management, social media best practices, time management, financial literacy, financial aid and more. Parts of that initiative, including the financial literacy program, are also required under the state’s law. Auburn’s athletics department is enlisting the university’s Harbert College of Business to present carefully tailored curriculum to athletes on the subjects of brand management, entrepreneurship, taxes and finance. The department’s goal is to assist its athletes with growing their personal brands and optimized their NIL opportunities while at Auburn “and beyond.” Part of that will include an emphasis within the program to promote athletes’ social media accounts through the Tigers’ own social channels, which boast more than 3 million followers across platforms. That’s likely where the largest impact from NIL will be seen. While some marquee and more marketable athletes may garner larger sponsorships, it’s likely that the bulk of NIL agreements will come through sponsored posts on athletes’ social media accounts — particularly Twitter and Instagram—both of which should see a flurry of action beginning Thursday, when the clock strikes midnight on the NCAA’s outdated policies.

McManus : Why Republicans are suddenly reluctant to condemn political violence Doyle McManus Sun, June 20, 2021, 6:00 AM·4 min read Trump supporters forced their way into the U.S. Capitol in January. Was that just the beginning of violent political action by the far right? (Kent Nishimura / Los Angeles Times) The Republican Party has a problem with political violence: It’s not sure whether it’s for it or against it. In the first days after a mob loyal to former President Trump stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 to try to block Congress from certifying President Biden's election, GOP leaders delivered a sensible, unified response: There’s no place in our constitutional system for that kind of violence. Since January, though, some leading Republicans have been backsliding — offering excuses for the insurgents who sought to overturn the election through extralegal means. Rep. Andrew S. Clyde of Georgia has likened the forced entrance of the Capitol to “a normal tourist visit." Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar complained last month that the FBI was “harassing peaceful patriots” by investigating the events. Twenty-one House Republicans voted against awarding a medal to the Capitol Police for attempting to defend the building; several said they objected to calling the riot an “insurrection.” Last week, Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin defended the protesters, too. “The vast majority of the crowd, they were in a jovial mood,” he said last week. “They weren’t violent.” And retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who served briefly as Trump’s national security advisor, recently told an audience that a Myanmar-like coup "should happen here." He later denied having said that, but it was captured on videotape. These are not good signs for the Republican Party. Those comments don’t reflect the sentiments of every Republican. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield have both condemned the Jan. 6 riot. But a significant chunk of the party’s most fervent supporters aren't so sure, and they illustrate the GOP's dilemma. At a time when the party needs every vote it can muster, it can't risk alienating loyal supporters, even if they embrace violence. In a survey by the conservative American Enterprise Institute after the riot in January, 56% of Republicans agreed that “the traditional American way of life is disappearing so fast that we may have to use force to save it.” In the same poll, 79% of Republicans said they still had a favorable view of Trump — and 36% said “very favorable.” That consensus has made GOP politicians fearful of crossing Trump or questioning the actions of his most zealous supporters, including the Jan. 6 revolutionaries. Republican officials in both Georgia and Arizona, where Trump is still agitating to reverse the election results, say their families have been physically threatened by the former president's supporters. When the House voted to impeach Trump in January, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) told CNN, “There were members who told me that they were afraid for their own security — afraid, in some instances, for their lives.” The result, says Tufts University political scholar Daniel Drezner, is a GOP that has begun to resemble Lebanon's Hezbollah, “a political party that also has an armed wing to coerce other political actors through violence.” “The comparison is stronger now than before,” Drezner told me last week. “The Republicans who wanted to impeach Trump have been marginalized, and the state parties sound more and more secessionist with each passing day.” The willingness of right-wing extremists to resort to violence didn’t begin on Jan. 6 — and Trump has long sounded as if he was encouraging them. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic last year, for example, he urged supporters to “liberate” their states from Democratic governors. Trump backers in Michigan responded by storming the state Capitol, and six were later indicted on suspicion of plotting to kidnap and murder Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Before Jan. 6, Trump summoned his loyalists to Washington (“Will be wild!” he promised) and told them: “If you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country anymore.” His defenders said he didn’t mean for the word “fight” to incite actual combat. At this point, some readers may ask: But what about the Democrats? Don’t they have a violent fringe, too? Not really. The antifa movement, which conservatives point to as an example of left-wing violence, isn’t part of the Democratic Party; its militants don’t wave Biden flags, show up at Biden rallies or, in most cases, support Biden at all. And while Republicans have attacked Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) for urging demonstrators to “get more confrontational,” that comparison doesn’t hold, either; whatever Waters meant by those words, she isn’t her party’s two-time presidential nominee and leader-in-exile. This is the Republican Party’s problem, and Republicans need to solve it. They are trying to tiptoe around a fundamental problem: Their candidate lost a presidential election, but he not only refuses to accept the voters’ verdict; he wants his party to "fight" to restore him to power. They want to move past the embarrassment of Jan. 6 — but that can’t happen until they settle their internal debate: Are they a party that condones extraconstitutional violence or not?

i spent fifty bucks on ms cleo to confirm what i just said.

i was told they work hard and they have fun doing it. i believe that now. and i love the fact coach told the kids it is an honor and privilege playing at Auburn! i like this as well. a whole lot of kids never get the chance to play at auburn or elsewhere. i think if the players learn the new stuff without it slowing them down to think about it we have a decent season for a first year coach. he might be missing a few players but most coaches worth their salt can scheme away a lot of weaknesses.

i feel in my heart coach harsin will bring some special moments to auburn before he is done. i hope we give him time if he needs it but the fact he wants to win right now knowing what he faces nakes him one badass in my book.

i would not suggest it if i did not think you could do a great job. flex would be great as well. maybe you guys could tag team or something. but i would love it..........

we should get cole to do a column on basketball and football for the normal for fans like me that misunderstand some of x's and o's. cole seems to enjoy it and he is pretty loyal to the board. what about it cole? you game?

do you like this or what do you think the solution is? i was thinking maybe let them transfer their first year in case it is not a good fit. and then they have no more portal chances. also what do you think i am missing if anything?

quote from tj quote: Auburn’s coaching staff reached out to Finley a few days after he announced his decision to transfer from LSU, and the message from first-year head coach Bryan Harsin and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo was, according to Finley, “very clear” — they want him to come in and try to compete for the starting job this fall. “They have a new system going in, and they feel like I fit their system, and it’s a lot of things that they are telling me that are very promising,” another person said he thinks bo will go pro this year and tj would be the starter next year which i have my doubts but i am just a fan. my problem is what happens when bo goes pro? i just do not think unless he ups his game he might not get drafted as a qb. his numbers just do not add up so far. and let me be clear i hope the young man nails it and goes number one. thoughts?

ebay has his auto rookie cards already.
