  1. i have seen you lie before dude and never admit when you are wrong. i cannot help it if you think you handled titan but i know better. i would say you have the problem you claim others have. you are a narcissist so maybe you cannot admit when you are wrong or ever apologize when you are wrong. but i see your boy got into some insurance scam trouble. he just keeps on lol. you you people enable him.
  2. believe what you want but there are quite a few on here that do not engage you because you are an idiot. i almost admire when titan or someone hands you your ass in discussion and you act like they do not know what they are talking about. but when you start paying my bills i might worry about what you think.
  3. Auburn gets improvement on offensive line By Nubyjas Wilborn | nwilborn@al.com 3-4 minutes No. 12 Auburn (6-2, 3-1 SEC )enters Saturday’s contest against No. 13 Texas A & M (6-2, 4-1 SEC) with hopes of a rematch with Georgia still intact. The Tigers control their destiny through a team effort that starts with improvement from the offensive line. Bo Nix had an incredible October punctuated by his 276 passing yards and two rushing touchdowns in last week’s win against Ole Miss. Tank Bigsby got back in the groove against the Rebels with his first 100-yard performance since the Penn State loss in Happy Valley. None of that happens without the line protecting Nix and providing running lanes for Bigsby. “We’re finally getting that chemistry. We used to start off doing a rotation and all that stuff. And I think we’re starting to settle in, and we’re finding that chemistry, and we’re just coming together as an O-line,” Offensive lineman Brandon Council said after Saturday’s win. “We’re all on the same page, us and Bo. When we’re in the wrong protection, Bo will check us and make sure we’re in the right spot. And we just made the blocks from there. We’re just more sound as a unit as the year goes along. Nix completed passes to 11 receivers against Arkansas and 10 versus Ole Miss. The Tiger offense is spreading the ball around. When Nix has time to survey the field, he’s making sound choices to either run the ball himself or throw to one of the many pass catchers for the Tigers. Nix got sacked twice against Ole Miss but mostly didn’t face a lot of pressure. The Tiger offensive line didn’t allow a sack in the previous game against the Razorbacks. Nix credits the offensive line for the offense finding its stride. “It’s huge. Our guys are doing a good job. The main thing is we’re getting protections right. We’re not just having free rushers coming through. We’re doing a good job of seeing things and sorting it out and getting a hat on a hat,” Nix said. “Our guys are good enough to block them when they’re pressuring. Today we picked up some pressures. That was good to see. Then our guys are winning their one-on-ones.” The Tigers face another tough test against the Aggies, who have a stout defensive front led by tackle DeMarvin Leal. Auburn is a four-point underdog, according to several sportsbooks. If they’re going to upset the Aggies, it’ll likely be because the line provided time and space for Nix and the crew to operate. Head coach Bryan Harsin seemed optimistic about where the line is headed going to the game. They’ve improved; we’ve had different guys at the guard and tackle positions come in and play, which has been good. We’ve got a little bit of depth there,” Harsin said. And, you know, I did think we played physical in this last game, which was good. We’re always trying to do that, so we’ve just got to continue with those things moving forward. And we’ll look back from the first game to the last game to see how far we came.” Nubyjas Wilborn covers Auburn for Alabama Media Group.
  4. al.com Auburn’s 2nd-half defensive adjustments key to team’s SEC success By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com 5-6 minutes Oct 30, 2021; Auburn, AL, USA; Zakoby McClain (9) reacts after making a tackle for loss during the game between Auburn and Ole Miss at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Todd Van Emst/AU AthleticsTodd Van Emst/AU Athletics There are halftime adjustments, and then there’s what Derek Mason has been able to accomplish with Auburn’s defense in the second half of SEC wins this season. In Auburn’s three conference wins — on the road at LSU, on the road against then-ranked Arkansas and at home against then-No.10 Ole Miss — Mason’s unit has been stellar after halftime. The Tigers have given up just 22 second-half points and only two touchdowns in that span while coming up with big stop after big stop. Read more Auburn football: Bryan Harsin chides Auburn’s special teams miscues against Ole Miss Auburn’s offensive line continues to improve Status of two Auburn defenders up in the air “It goes back to being prepared for it, number one,” Auburn coach Bryan Harsin said. “I know Coach Mason and the defensive staff do a great job of preparing themselves with their game-planning and getting that to the players and making sure that we hit those things throughout the week. And then come game time being able to make adjustments, too, because you never know exactly what the offenses are going to do, and so you’ve got to adjust in how they’re going to attack you, like who they’re going to attack.” Just how good has Auburn’s defense been in the second half of those SEC wins? Opponents have scored on just four of 20 second-half drives in those three games, as Auburn has given up 22 total points (1.1 points per drive). The Tigers have forced turnovers on three of those drives: a game-sealing interception against LSU, a strip-sack recovered for a touchdown against Arkansas and an interception in the end zone against Ole Miss. Seven of their opponents’ drives have ended in a punt, with five three-and-outs and one four-and-out, while five have resulted in a turnover on downs. The latest stalwart defensive effort for Auburn came this past weekend against Ole Miss, when the Tigers put the clamps on the Rebels’ explosive offense in the second half. Ole Miss had seven possessions after halftime and came away with just three points. It went three-and-out on back-to-back drives to open the second half, failed to convert three fourth-down attempts — all in the red zone — and saw another possession end with Jaylin Simpson picking off Matt Corral in the end zone. The Tigers’ defense stepped up in a major way, lessening the pressure on Auburn’s offense, which had an efficient first half — scoring touchdowns on four of its five possessions — but was in a bit of a rut after halftime. “I feel like we never back down, even when they were scoring back-to-back (touchdowns at the end of the first half),” defensive back Roger McCreary said. “I feel like we never let down with the communication with us, and Coach Mason came up with a new scheme for the second half. I feel like that was great for us, just like we did with Arkansas. I feel like we just played together and communicated. I feel like that was the main piece for the second half.” It was, as McCreary noted, a similar second half to that win at Arkansas two weeks prior. In that game, Auburn’s defense held Arkansas to 13 points on seven second-half possessions, forced two punts, two turnovers on downs and had a momentous takeaway. And, like the Tigers have done in each of their SEC wins this season, they didn’t allow a fourth-quarter point. Auburn has now outscored its opponents 27-0 in the fourth quarter of its three SEC wins this season, as Harsin’s team — and Mason’s defense — have come up big down the stretch of games, which has helped position Auburn for a pivotal November. “It’s a lot of just effort and focus in the fourth quarter,” Harsin said. “I think it’s important to us. That’s something that our players have emphasized, that they want to play well in the fourth quarter, so when you emphasize something and it’s important to you, you’re going to have a good opportunity to go out there and get it done, because we have talented players. “We have guys that can make those plays in the fourth quarter, and I think our coaches are putting our guys in a good position, too, to finish games. We’ve lost games too where we didn’t do that as well in the fourth quarter.” That’s something to remember as Auburn nears the fourth quarter of its grueling regular-season slate, too. Auburn enters the final month of the season in control of its own path in the SEC West — and with a defense that seems to be hitting its stride after some early-season hurdles. “It’s really important at the end of the game, winning or losing, that you find a way to finish,” Harsin said. “I think our guys are doing that, and I think they believe in it. They’ve made it important to them, so we’ve got to continue with that same mentality.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group. Follow him on Twitter @Tomas_Verde.

  9. i know for a fact at least two of the churches in my area are either convincing people or just plain teaching folks that libs are evil. it is very troubling to me.
  10. people are taking him serious. i have friends on the right that post on facebook and are gearing up and have been for a while and i believe this will be america's downfall. and some of them say they are doing it for jesus AND the country. i am pretty sure jesus does not want anyone starting wars in his name. as an aside tucker just admitted recently he would lie like hell on his show when he has to.they quoted him and he thought it was funny. and those are his on words. personally i have little faith with hardly any news channels because negative is king and they are helping divide america. my opinion is this is the beginning of the end for our country. trump opened a can of worms and i fear it will get worse.

  14. Auburn Tigers Sports Colby Wooden and Zakoby McClain earn SEC player of the week honors Updated: Nov. 01, 2021, 11:51 a.m. | Published: Nov. 01, 2021, 11:51 a.m. By Nubyjas Wilborn | nwilborn@al.com According to a Monday morning release, Colby Wooden and Zakoby McClain were each honored by the SEC as players of the week after No. 12 Auburn’s (6-2, 3-1 SEC) defense shut out Ole Miss en route to Saturday’s 31-20 victory at Jordan-Hare. McClain had 10 solo tackles, including two for loss and two sacks, earning him linebacker of the week honors from the conference. McClain had 14 tackles altogether, which led the team and was his 11th career double-digit tackle effort. The Tigers held the Rebels on three fourth-down tries in the red zone and only 4-of-8 red-zone scores. Wooden earned his defensive lineman of the week acclaim with five tackles, including four solo and a quarterback hurry during the win. Auburn held Ole Miss to three points in the second half, which was the second-fewest points in a half by the Rebels this season. The Tigers’ next game is Saturday at 2:30 CST on the road against No. 13 Texas A&M. Nubyjas Wilborn covers Auburn for Alabama Media Group.

  15. come on man. he made the statement and people laughed and yes i understand that is what people do but it could have been handled better. it elicited a response and bird had to step in. i just brought it up because titan is trying to clean up arguments and asked for that type of thing to be handled privately. sorry man i am not tryng to be a richard here.
  16. i have an old school recipe i bet most of you have not heard of but it invilves a crock pot instead of a grill. take hot dog weenies and cut them up into thirds. toothpick a small piece of bacon around each piece. throw in the crock pot and cover with brown sugar and slow cook until the brown sugar melts. i am telling you guys they are wonderful and extremely addicting. cheap dogs are great but avoid the ones with the red dye.
  17. can i take this moment to brown nose in case my mouth gets me in trouble down the road? you know us old folks get senile and stuff............
  18. coach how did you get so sexy? grins i kid but thanx for the insights as they are probably my favorite thing about the board.
  19. as a christian why did you call him out on the board instead of private messaging him? you might have made a friend instead of probably losing one? your statement caused others to ridicule him and i have yet to meet anyone who enjoys that kind of thing.and before you say it is none of my business you posted it in public so it is fair game. and i do not say any of this mean spirited i just wanted you to see a different angle. just my thoughts. have a good day and rejoice in your knowing the lord.
  20. all i can say is i am happy for Bo. but regardless of what happens after auburn i will always consider him a winner. and if i am around i will have to have an autographed rookie card of his straight from the pack when he goes pro. i always thought he would end up a coach down the road but he keeps improving he might do something in the pro's.
  21. Doug Segrest: When a shootout turns into a slog, Auburn’s defense answers the call Doug Segrest/Special to The Star 4-5 minutes Matt Corral arrived on the Plains with well-deserved Heisman hype. But a few minutes past intermission Bo Nix and Auburn were on the verge of taking control of a Top 25 primetime showdown with 10th-ranked Ole Miss. Then an offensive shootout turned into an old-school defensive slog. Field position replaced style points. And the compelling question became which defense could hold up when the offenses returned to form. You know the answer by now. The 18th-ranked Tigers managed to pull off the upset 31-20. Destiny, as they say, belongs to Auburn the rest of the way. For a half, Corral was good, but Nix was better. To be fair, Corral twisted his ankle late in the first quarter and had to be transported to the locker room for further examination. He missed less than a full series. How much the injury affected him, we don’t know because he played most of the night under duress from the Auburn front seven. Meanwhile, Nix went 12 of 15 passing for 150 yards in the first 30 minutes. But while Auburn turned Ole Miss one dimensional, Nix provided balance with his ability to run — twice into the end zone — and with a breakout half from Tank Bigsby. That’s how Auburn built a 28-17 lead. But on the verge of delivering a TKO, everything that could go wrong went wrong. Much of it self-inflicted. A 43-yard field goal attempt from Anders Carlson to open the second half would have pushed the lead to 14 points. Instead, the kick pushed right, caroming off the upright. After Auburn’s defense held, a muffed punt return gave Ole Miss prime-real estate at the Tigers 29. Again, Auburn held. Instead of going for points on fourth-and-1 at the 20, Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin gambled and paid the price when Corral’s pass sailed behind an open receiver. Instead of changing momentum, the moment furthered Auburn’s resolve. On its next opportunity, Corral hit back-to-back passes for 29 and 23 yards, respectively, moving back inside the Red Zone before the drive stalled. This time, Kiffin took the points and shaved Auburn’s lead to 28-20. More from this section Auburn answered with a Carlson field goal. Just when it seemed Corral was back in Heisman form, Auburn’s Jaylin Simpson stepped in front of a pass in the end zone to snuff another threat. The reprieve proved short lived. After Ole Miss stripped Auburn’s Kobe Hudson of the ball near midfield, Corral quickly had the Rebels back in the Red Zone. Again, Kiffin gambled on fourth down instead of taking the field goal. Again, the Auburn defense held. This time, the Tigers offense took over and wouldn’t let go, draining the clock. We said a week ago that Auburn had changed its trajectory for the season. Saturday night, before a full house at capacity decibels, Auburn changed Ole Miss’. The Rebels mission was simple: Win out, go to Atlanta and play for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Now, Auburn can. The task is arduous — especially with a trip to Texas A&M and a visit from Alabama among other challenges. But we’ve seen this movie before. Head into Thanksgiving weekend with a chance against Alabama and anything — emphasis on anything — can happen on the Plains For first-year coach Bryan Harsin, this season is already a success. This is a hard-nosed team that’s improved dramatically the last two months. But what lies ahead could lead to a season for the ages.

  22. Auburn Undercover Takeaways From CFB Week 9 (Late Kick Cut) Auburn's defense saved the day down the stretch, with a number of key stops against Heisman hopeful Matt Corral, as Auburn notched an important divisional victory on Saturday night, 31-20 over Ole Miss. The Tigers moved up to No. 12 in the AP poll the following afternoon, setting up a top-15 showdown at No. 13 Texas A&M. Three of our football reporters — Jason Caldwell, Mark Murphy and Nathan King — took another look at Auburn's win over the Rebels with some superlatives and final thoughts from the game in the Auburn Undercover Exit Survey. Dive in for our plays of the game, helmet stickers, areas of concern and exiting analysis on the ranked road win in Jordan-Hare Stadium— and how much the result changed our opinion of this team heading into the final third of the season. Jason: For me it was probably the two plays on the first drive of the game. Facing a third and eight at the Ole Miss 49, Bo Nix ran for seven yards after escaping pressure from the Ole Miss pass rush. With a yard to go at the 42, Bryan Harsin chose to go for it instead of punting the ball to the Rebels. Tank Bigsby gained five yards on the next play and it led to a touchdown. More than that it continued the aggressive style of play for the Tigers. Mark: With 15 seconds and one timeout left before the end of the half, the Tigers put Jarquez Hunter in motion to the left side of the formation. Nix’s pass to the freshman running back was on target as the Tigers managed to score with 11 seconds on the clock on a perfectly executed play. Nathan: Nix executed Auburn's 2-minute offense to perfection right before the break. And after a spike, Nix found Hunter out of the backfield for a short touchdown that put the Tigers up by double digits at halftime. Mike Bobo called a great game, particularly in the first half, and most of his best moments came in the red zone, where Auburn was 5-of-5 for the game, including four touchdowns. Jason: Take your pick. There’s a bunch of them. I’ll go with the play by Colby Wooden and Marcus Harris on fourth and seven on the 13-yard line with Auburn leading Ole Miss 28-20. Wooden got early pressure and made Corral have to just throw the ball away. If he had time there was an opening for a completion and potentially a game changing play. Mark: Like a bat out of hell on Halloween eve, Jaylin Simpson streaked across the back of the end zone to intercept a pass thrown by Corral, who had scrambled away from the pass rush. With Auburn holding a 31-20 lead and still nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, Simpson’s interception helped prevent a comeback. Nathan: With just over a minute left in the third quarter, with Ole Miss having its best drive of the second half, the Rebels faced a fourth-and-7 from Auburn's 13-yard line. Harsin smartly called timeout before the play, as the Rebels were looking to snap quickly and get Auburn off balance. The decision might have been worth a touchdown, as Wooden burst through and pressured Corral, who wasn't able to set and find an open target. Ole Miss turned the ball over on downs, and Auburn held onto its one-score lead, 28-20 heading into the fourth quarter. Harsin and defensive coordinator Derek Mason outcoached Lane Kiffin all night, including turnovers on three of the Rebels' four fourth-down tries. Jason: Tank Bigsby looked the part against Ole Miss, but I have to go with Nix. Completing 22-30 passes for 276 yards and a touchdown with two rushing touchdowns, Nix continues to play at a high level. Mark: Bigsby was a major factor as the Tigers held the football for 33 minutes and 25 seconds. The sophomore averaged 6.1 yards per carry on 23 attempts as he helped the Tigers move the chains with his physical runs. Nathan: Bigsby re-emerged for Auburn with his best outing of the season (140 yards). By the time the first quarter ended, the sophomore had more yards than any previous SEC game this season. His confidence and success is vital for Auburn's offense down the stretch of the season, and he looks to be back to the Bigsby that Auburn is used to seeing. He also allowed Bobo's play calling options to expand, averaging 6.1 yards per carry on the night. Jason: I have to go with Zakoby McClain. Once again he was all over the field from his linebacker position and also added a pair of sacks. The senior has turned into maybe the most important player on defense for the Tigers this season. Mark: McClain was in on 14 tackles with 10 solo stops. The senior linebacker made two of Auburn’s three quarterback sacks. Nathan: McClain now has 44 tackles in SEC play, including 29 over his last two games. And he played every single defensive snap against the Rebels, despite Auburn's rejuvenated depth at linebacker with the return of Owen Pappoe. Jason: It’s becoming a weekly thing for me to pick punter Oscar Chapman and once again that’s what I did. He averaged 56 yards on three punts against Ole Miss and no returns. That’s huge in terms of field position. Chapman is turning into a weapon for the Tigers. Mark: Chapman has continued to excel with his punting. He averaged 56 yards on three of them vs. the Rebels, who did not have any punt return yardage vs. the Tigers. Nathan: Chapman's standout season continues, with a 56-yard average on three punts against Ole Miss. Auburn is now up to No. 6 in the country and first in the SEC in net punting this season (43.86 net yards per kick). Jason: That’s the running game for me. For the first time since early in the season the Auburn rushing attack looked to be in a rhythm. Like everything else offensively, that’s a big key to making things work when running the football. It couldn’t have come at a better time with Texas A&M up next. Mark: The Tigers ran the ball for 207 yards and 14 of those runs resulted in first downs. Nathan: Welcome back, Auburn's running game. The Tigers won their first two SEC games almost in spite of inconsistencies by their tailbacks, but Bigsby was highly successful against Ole Miss. There's still some to be desired by players not named Bigsby, though, with Shaun Shivers only carrying the ball once, and Hunter averaging only 3.2 yards per rush. Jason: I would have to go with the field goal and extra point unit. Anders Carlson missed a 43-yard field goal and the Tigers also had two penalties for a delay of game, one on an extra point and one on a field goal. Those are things that can’t happen. Mark: There were too many mistakes on special teams with a fumbled punt by Demetris Robertson and penalties on kickoff returns. Nathan: McClain, Wooden, Simpson and crew made up for it with another stellar second half on defense, but Auburn's offense probably can't beat Texas A&M on the road this coming weekend with only 3 points in the second half. And it's not as if the Tigers didn't move the ball — they had four drives enter Ole Miss territory in the third and fourth quarters — but a missed field goal and a fumble kept them from icing the game with another touchdown. Jason: For me it’s still the easy throws for the opponents in the quick game. The defense is doing its job by not allowing the big play and in the end that’s the name of the game, but watching Ole Miss tight end Casey Kelly catch seven passes for 81 yards with no defender close to him on any of the receptions is still a surprise to me. With Mississippi State and Alabama still ahead, allowing easy throws to those two teams could mean an extra 10-15 defensive snaps in those games. Mark: Holding the Rebels to 6-15 third down conversions and 1-4 fourth down conversions was impressive. Nathan: Auburn's defense found answer after answer against a potent Rebels attack in the second half. Whether it was a defensive lineman applying pressure on a key play, a linebacker making a stop in the open field or a defensive back keeping them off the board with an interception in the red zone, the Tigers on defense played at an impressively high level down the stretch once again against an SEC opponent. If Derek Mason keeps this up and can extend his post-adjustments success into the earlier stages of the game, Auburn has a chance to close out the season with a truly menacing defense on all three levels. Jason: I thought this Auburn team had a chance to be 8-4 or 9-3 before the season started. That’s still the case, but this is a team that can beat anyone left on the schedule. If they can continue to improve and stay healthy they’ll be tough to beat. 1COMMENTS Mark: It didn’t change my perspective on this team. Auburn has better talent than Ole Miss and was playing at home so the victory was expected, even though the Rebels were the higher ranked team. Nathan: By just a small amount, and it's because of the impressiveness of the defense. I said all week that Auburn would need its best offensive performance of the season to win. But because of the defense's big stops down the stretch, the Tigers didn't need to. Both sides of the ball are complementing each other well as Auburn enters November, and the team is getting fully healthy at the right time.
