  1. ‘We have to limit him,’ Bo Nix explains how Auburn will handle Jordan Davis Lance Dawe Thu, October 7, 2021, 4:00 PM Jordan Davis should not be able to move the way that he does. Listed at 6’6″, 340 pounds, Davis has been making plays in opposing backfields all season for Georgia. He currently has10 tackles, three TFLs, 1.5 sacks, and four quarterback hurries over the span of five games. Here is what Bo Nix had to say about defensive lineman Jordan Davis and how Auburn is going to prepare for him. I’ve played guys like (Jordan Davis) before. I’ve never had a huge issue with it. I’ve just got to go out there and play my own game… At the end of the day, we have to do our best to block him. (Davis) is going to make his plays, and that’s why he’s going to be a great draft pick, so we just have to limit the amount of times he is making plays, we have to do our job and let him beat us, not us beat ourselves. We can’t let him or (any of Georgia’s players) have free shots at us and disrupting our plays. we jsut have to do a good job of playing clean. As Nix mentioned, Auburn will need to be sound up front not just against Davis, but the entire defensive front for the Bulldogs.
  2. i know this is different but i posted toomers corners cams for those that want to watch the basketball thing tonight. and tomoroow we can watch them dirty dawg walking around and hopefull we get to watch them roll toomers saturday night.

  5. harsin and company have some studs they are trying to snatch on oline. usually al.com has an article on how our recruits who commited or who want want do every single week.
  6. yes i have some paranoia. depression. anxiety. the last drug i took was lexapro and it made me suicidal. i has told this many times. and i am not making at excuses but at 66 nothing has helped. i have no defenses because i cannot tolerate the meds. this is fact. maybe i am not cut out for boards but as guilty as i am of a lot of things some go out of their way to be sh^tty when i have asked to be let alone. i posted the franklin article and it was "how dare you post that here buddy". this is fact. that it is right under or right over six thousand views would prove my case. sometimes people hold grudges. but yes maybe i should leave. maybe someone can bribe me to leave and if i need my fix i will read the fam from the sidelines. or move on.
  7. NCAA approves 1-year increase in recruiting class size By Creg Stephenson | cstephenson@al.com 1-2 minutes The NCAA Division I Council has approved a one-year waiver to the annual signing limit for football recruiting classes, allowing schools to replace up to seven scholarship players who transferred after the fall semester. Schools are typically limited to 25 “initial counters” for a given recruiting class. For the 2022 class, they will be allowed to sign up to 32, provided they have lost at least seven transfers. “We believe schools should have temporary flexibility to help address possible roster depletion due to transfers,” said NCAA Football Oversight Committee chair Nancy Barbour, also athletics director at Penn State. “This one-year waiver enables schools to properly utilize their scholarship limitations.” The waiver is valid only for the 2022 class, though the NCAA will consider “a more permanent solution … in the coming months.” The overall football scholarship limit remains at 85 in the FBS and 63 for the FCS.

  11. i am not disrespecting no one. i give them all credit but you tell me whom else could have made those plays. i assumed most people without a grudge would know it took the team for him to make those plays. and for a smart guy it is funny you could not figure that out.
  12. this is one of the few times you have been honest. but no one out lies trump. no one...................
  13. Rolling Stone Ryan Bort 10-12 minutes October 5, 2021 2:25PM ET Fox News and OAN Were Deeper in the Bag for Trump Than Anyone Realized Former Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham and former presidential surrogate Rudy Giuliani admitted that some of the biggest hitters in right-wing TV were essentially state-run media Stephanie Grisham listens during a meeting with then-President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House. Grisham spoke admitted recently that she "probably" was not truthful when she went on Fox News to represent the administration. Al Drago/Bloomberg/Getty Images It’s no secret that right-wing media was in the bag for Trump throughout his time in office, but their devotion to the the former president seems to have been more coordinated than they’d probably like people to believe. This is at least according to a couple of revelations to emerge this week about the relationship between Trump’s team and the outlets that lavished largely unconditional praise on the president and his agenda for years. The first bit of insight comes from Stephanie Grisham, the former White House press secretary currently trying to cleanse herself of her sins by dishing on her former boss — including that he likes to de-stress with show tunes from Cats — in a new tell-all book and requisite media tour. On Tuesday morning, Grisham explained to CNN that Fox News essentially worked in tandem with the Trump administration. “That’s just where we went to get what we wanted out,” Grisham said. “I looked forward to going and doing Lou Dobbs because Lou Dobbs would do all the talking about how great everything was and I would just nod and say yes. By and large they didn’t get tough with us. They just took what we were saying and disseminated it.” Grisham also admitted that she “probably wasn’t” truthful when she appeared on the network as press secretary. Very brave of you to admit this, Stephanie. Stephanie Grisham on how the White House used Fox News: "That's just where we went to get what we wanted out … By and large, they didn't get tough with us. They just took what we were saying and disseminated it." pic.twitter.com/qltmEzYvUk — Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) October 5, 2021 When asked if Fox News was state-run media for Trump, Grisham hesitated, noting that the network does employ some legitimate journalists — emphasis on some. “I think certainly in the evening, yes, it was,” she acknowledged. “I think more importantly with OAN coming out … I think that is like state-run media.” Speaking of OAN, former Trump lawyer and current 77-year-old man who’s being sued into oblivion Rudy Giuliani said in a recent deposition that while OAN reporter Christina Bobb was volunteering for Trump’s legal team following the 2020 election (which in itself is … very strange), she had to run her stories by the Trump campaign for approval. “If she did develop a discrete, good story, she would have to run it past us so it didn’t violate any of our rules or whatever,” Giuliani explained in the deposition, which was conducted in August as part of a defamation suit filed by a former employee of Dominion Voting Systems, which Giuliani and others baselessly alleged may have had a role in rigging the 2020 election. Giuliani’s comments in the deposition were initially reported by The Daily Beast. “I was pretty comfortable they would live by it because they had before,” Giuliani added of the agreement the legal team reached with OAN President Charles Herring, regarding Bobb. “I knew she had tremendous enthusiasm for doing this and I always like to hire people with enthusiasm because they work harder.” As is the case with many, many things regarding Trump and his administration, all of this is deeply ironic considering how relentlessly the former president accused the media of working in tandem with the Democratic Party. Nevertheless, it’s hard to imagine these revelations stopping Fox News, OAN, and any other network that wants in on the action from coordinating with Trump once again should he decide to run for the White House in 2024, a prospect that seems to be growing more and more likely by the day.

  14. Everything Kirby Smart said ahead of Georgia-Auburn ByJake Rowe 13-16 minutes Picks for every big Week 6 college football game We're a day closer to the 126th playing of The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry. No. 2 Georgia will travel to The Plains to take on No. 18 Auburn on Saturday with kickoff set for 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS. Each team has gone through two days of preparation and both are still alive in the SEC and National picture. Georgia has impressed thus far, winning three straight SEC games by a combined score of 139-13. Auburn has been up and down through the first month-plus of the season with a loss to Penn State, a close win over Georgia State, but and impressive road victory at LSU this past weekend. Kirby Smart met with the UGA beat via zoom after Tuesday's practice. It'll be his last press conference before the Bulldogs play Auburn and below Dawgs247 delivers everything the sixth-year head coach had to say. On prep this week and being limited in space. “It’s messy outside. We actually got to go out a little bit, which was nice. It was wet but it wasn’t unbearable. The problem with inside is the turf wears on your legs a little harder. You don’t like being on turf every day. You want to be able to go in and out, switch shoes in, switch shoes out, but we’ve had to be in because right now we’ve just got the one grass field. That’s been tough but the preparation has been great. I thought the guys had good energy, it was a good practice, although we’ve still got some guys who are banged up and beat up probably, I don’t know, as much as since I’ve been here. I don’t remember having this many guys injured at once since I’ve been here. But the guys work hard and they’re buying into the plan and executing it." Chance of getting Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, Arian Smith and Dominick Blaylock back... “We have a chance of getting all three. They were out there running, hitting 18-19 mph. They weren’t running full speed but they were moving around. Rosemy probably has the best chance, but each one of them has a chance to make it back. But they’re not taking a lot of reps. They’re hitting walk-through reps but we’re going to see if they can clear by Thursday or Friday." On crowd noise... "It’s always a concern when you go on the road in the SEC and I can give you four or five examples of first road trips for teams. What’s wrong, is it’s not unusual to have 25 percent of your team that hasn’t been on the road for a true road game, now it’s at 50 percent that hasn’t been in that kind of environment due to Covid last year. So, you’re seeing the impact of that whether it’s our game, Kentucky-Florida, Alabama-Ole Miss, all the games; they’re all over the place. We try to teach and learn from it but inevitably you may have mistakes. You’ve just got to overcome those and not let one mistake compound things and make it work. We’re trying to talk about the threats to us not playing well, and talk about them, and conquer them in practice so you can go out in the game and play with confidence.” How close are Tykee Smith and Darnell Washington to 100 percent? “Tykee and Darnell are both working really well. We’re not limiting the reps anymore. They’re probably not 100 percent in terms of speed but they’re getting there. Being on the turf affects them, too. It’s a different kind of surface. With a foot injury, it bothers them more than probably anybody, but I think Tykee is much closer. He took more reps today. It’s not just ability. He has the ability, it’s him understanding the defense, getting back in, getting full speed reps. It’s different when you start covering a guy running 19, 20 miles an hour at you. That’s the biggest thing getting him back comfortable doing that. Darnell, he was really more effective last week than I thought he would be. He’s been able to take to take his reps this week so he’s moving in the right direction. The biggest thing with Darnell is getting him in playing shape.” On defensive line being so productive with non five stars Davis and Wyatt and then Carter and Walker. What’s key to that group? “The key is work and growth. Devonte Wyatt was not the player that he is now when he got there. I can assure you Jordan wasn’t either. Travon’s worked a long time really hard. You go back to his freshman year. He made some splash plays but he didn’t play first and second down much. He played a lot of third down. He’s grown as a player to be much better against the run. Being able to play first and second down. They’ve grown but that growth has nothing to do with what they were rated coming in. They’ve all improved. I think Tray does an incredible job of development. That’s part of football, finding the right person to recruit and then being able to get them and then being able to develop them. That’s a key ingredient that Tray has done." JT Daniels injury, comparisons to the other lat injuries, and maybe being able to finesse it more in practice... “I don’t know about it finesse it. My first question to Ron was is he going to aggravate it and hurt it worse by doing anything. He said basically it’s a muscle injury so anything that bothers it, you don’t want to do. Anything that doesn’t bother it, you want to continue to do. So he was able today to go out and do some soft toss and it didn’t bother it. That’s the same protocol they did with Dak. It’s not a complete shutdown. There’s exercises he can do in our training room that are bands and throwing motions and things that don’t hurt him. They don’t bother him. As long as it doesn’t bother him, then we feel like we’re getting improvement, gradual improvement. That’s the key. The last thing I want to do is push the envelope, re-injure and go back. Then a constant cycle of that. We’re not trying to finesse it at the point that, hey, we throw him out there. We’re trying to get him to do what he can without getting injured. I’m not the expert at that. I’m not the expert at that I can assure you. I do listen to what Ron says and we also consult with other people.” On the 25th anniversary of the 1996 game... "Yeah it was a tremendous game and a tremendous atmosphere is what I remember. Big-time comeback of epic proportions. It was a crazy finish to regulation. I remember that. And then I remember just didn't think you would ever stop going out there. And then we finally had a chance and ended up stopping Dameyune Craig on like a sweep. It was a wild game. I don't remember specifics because it was so long ago. Ferguson, about 330 pounds doing a cartwheel down the field. That's when I knew he was going to play in the NFL for a long time. Talented dude. Those games are always like that year-in, year-out." Defensive challenge of facing a mobile quarterback? “The defensive challenge of facing a mobile quarterback (starts to laugh) is how long you have to cover, and how creative you have to be. There’s plays that are eight seconds long. Our guys on average play, I don’t know, a three- or four-second play is a long time? An eight-second play is a long time. He can extend plays. He can win with his feet. Bobo’s really creative with quarterbacks that can run. Some quarterbacks who can run can’t throw. He can throw and run. So it adds an extra element that sometimes the designed runs are easy to defend than one that you think is a pass because it is a pass and then he takes off. So it’s tremendously hard. I don’t think people understand how good an athlete this guy is. It’s been reported to me he’s hit 22 mph on GPS. We don’t have but maybe two receivers on our entire team that can hit 22 mph. So he is a really, really good athlete.” Jack Podlesny and keeping his confidence up after a slot start... “Well he’s a hard worker. He has a routine he goes about, and he’s just a tremendous kid and individual and success story. I think the psychological disposition of kickers is always different from normal position players. He goes through, it’s like a hitter, you hit slumps, and there are highs and lows, and you try to always err on the middle, never being too high, never being too low. I think he’s brought himself back, he’s kicked really well. We’ve seen him kick more in practice than we have in games, and he’s been really consistent. Just great thankful that he chose to come here as a walk-on, and earned a scholarship. We’d be in a tough way without him.” Stetson Bennett’s back injury and how he’s looked this week... “He’s looked good. His lower back still bothers him, he has to get treatment on him, but it’s not to the point of affecting his performance. We just have to be careful with him. He’s done a good job of getting treatment on it, staying on top of it. He also has a bit of a knee laceration from last week, but it hasn’t affected performance or anything. But he’s done a good job. Stetson’s a savvy vet, he understands defenses, he’s very intelligent, a lot of the football he’s had to learn is through other quarterbacks, by sitting and watching them. I think he enjoys getting an opportunity to go out there and do the things he’s done.” On Adam Anderson, what makes him a unique player... "Size, speed, athleticism, great get off. He's just long and fast. If you start looking at it, the comparison for me is Leonard Floyd. I saw Leonard play for so long, recruited Leonard back when I was at Alabama, Adam has a lot of his traits. His biggest issue would probably be being able to handle bulk and weight and gained weight. He's gained a lot of muscle mass. I'm so proud of Adam's maturity, he's just matured so much. He's become a leader in the classroom over at Rankin (Smith Student Athlete Academic Center). He was a guy who didn't love school initially but bought into the program and all the things that go into it. He's a very special person in this program." On if they can hear Georgia fans on the road, what impact they can make... "It's always important. I doubt they're going to be able to take over the stadium. I can assure you that. The visitors crowd, at most road games there's a pocket of them. There's a small pocket of them, they put all the visitors together. I think about it in the Georgia stadium, you know where they are, and if you've got noise coming from there, it's probably not a good sign. I don't know how much they can impact the game, but they definitely impact our players and their momentum. You want to feel like you've got support when you go into a place like that. You know, a lot of kids play well on the road. They feel like it's them against the world. Sometimes that's the best mentality to have in these road games. But, to each player it's different psychologically." On how they prepare for noise on the road, usage of false noise at practice... "We use it every week. We use it for home games because our defense has to play with the noise and can't communicate. We do it in fall camp, and it's fun for the kids. Sometimes they don't want to hear me and Monken, us yelling at them. So they enjoy the crowd noise because it silences us." On UGA long-snapper Payne Walker... "We'd be in trouble with out him. Him and (William) Mote have done a tremendous job. Nobody knows their name until they screw up. Every good snap, I've never heard one of you guys say, 'man, Payne Walker did a hell of a job snapping this game.' Y'all are going to be the first one to bring him up if he doesn't snap it good. It's like a thankless job. He doesn't get an opportunity to be thanked for what he does because it's just expected, it's understood, and I don't take that for granted. The work he and Mote put in, they're great leaders in our organization. They do a tremendous job for us." Becoming elite at creating turnovers... "Been trying to figure it out for 25 years, bud. I'm still looking. If I can figure out that solution, I can bottle it and we'll both make a lot of money. Not going to give you coach speak, I don't know how to do it but I can promise you this, we're trying like hell every day." What it's like coaching Stetson Bennett... "I don't look at coaching him any differently than I do anybody on the team. I really don't. Stetson's got thick skin. He's a tough kid. He grew up in Pierce County. He's been coached hard. He's been reprimanded. He stands up for what he believes in. He argues his point. If he thinks he's right, he usually has a good reason for it. I appreciate the way he approaches things and all the quarterbacks. It's not a sensitive subject. If I think they're wrong, we tell them. We're trying to make them better and he's done that since he's been here. Kid has good moxy and he's got good confidence, got good composure. You don't see him real rattled very often and he handles success and ups and downs really well. I think he's got good wiring for a quarterback." ">247Sports
  15. Auburn LB Owen Pappoe a 'game-time decision' for Georgia matchup ByNathan King 2-3 minutes Week Six Preview: Georgia @ Auburn (Late Kick Cut) AUBURN, Alabama — Derek Mason's defense is hoping to get one of its most important players back for a huge matchup with No. 2 Georgia. Starting linebacker Owen Pappoe has been limited but is "doing some things" in practice this week leading up to the rivalry game against Georgia, Bryan Harsin said Wednesday on the SEC coaches teleconference. "You can call it a game-time decision; we'll know before that," Harsin said. Pappoe has missed Auburn's last two games after sustaining a lower-body injury in the Tigers' Week 3 loss at Penn State. He had 15 tackles and two tackles for loss through the first 10 quarters of the season. The team captain traveled to LSU over the weekend but did not dress out. Pappoe was also limited in practice last week. A five-star prospect in the 2019 class, Pappoe's commitment to Auburn was a huge recruiting win over Georgia, Pappoe's home-state team and the presumed runner-up in his recruitment. "To be at home and have a chance to get back on the field, I know he wants to do that," Harsin said of Pappoe. "So I anticipate he'll have himself in a position to hopefully help us this week, and get out there and go play." 3COMMENTS Without Pappoe, and with Auburn's other starting linebacker, Zakoby McClain, having missed the first half of the Georgia State game after a targeting penalty against Penn State, senior Chandler Wooten has stepped up, with 25 tackles over the past three games. Additionally, Harsin said Wednesday that there are "no issues" with sophomore defensive tackle Zykeivous Walker, who left the Georgia State game with an arm injury and did not play last week against LSU. Walker came out of the locker room with his arm in a sling. ">247Sports
  16. Auburn's offensive line is the most important key against Georgia Lance Dawe October 6, 2021 2:59 pm CT Georgia has dominated opponents in the trenches so far this season. The Bulldogs have been able to impose their will both offensively and defensively at the line of scrimmage. It’s a major area of concern for Auburn, who does not have the most stable pass protection, as well as a lack of an elite pass rush, especially with one of their best pass rushers currently out with an injury (TD Moultry). B-Wil of The War Rapport joined the Locked on Auburn Podcast with Zac Blackerby to talk about how the offensive line might have taken a small step backwards in the game against LSU. B-Wil: Up until the LSU game, our offensive line had played qualitatively better than it had last season. The LSU game may have been an outlier for the o-line because we were calling plays that forced Nix to do things he hasn’t done so far this season. He was running around making plays instead of from the pocket. We still run block very well. I’m still not too down on our offensive line, but we saw a lot more pressure against LSU than we had in the previous weeks. If Auburn is going to survive against Georgia this weekend, the offensive line will need to hold up for the occasional Bo Nix explosive play. Not for the entire game, because nobody can hold Georgia’s front forever, but for the occasional play to bring some momentum into offensive drives. The Bulldogs have been fantastic in both run stopping and pass defense this season. However, this may be the most hostile environment they play in all season. Auburn can’t afford to take sacks and stall out against a team that can overwhelm you at the line of scrimmage. The offensive line bringing their best game is key for Auburn’s success this Saturday.
  17. saturdaydownsouth.com Rece Davis encapsulates the Bo Nix experience with a carnival story Keith Farner | 11 hours ago 2 minutes Rece Davis understands what many Auburn fans can relate to when he describes what’s become known as the “Bo Nix Experience.” The College GameDay host outlined how the Auburn quarterback’s play is part magic, and part erratic. “He’s been like a ride at a carnival,” Davis said on social media. “Not like a meticulously maintained Disney ride. He’s been like the traveling Tilt-a-Whirl where there’s a guy everyone calls Pops. He unloads all the pieces of the ride off a flat-bed truck and sets it up in a parking lot, and maybe he remembered to tighten all the screws. But the corndogs at the 7/11 smelled really good. So maybe he went over there and got distracted.” Then Davis described how it feels to be on the ride and said there are unidentified noises, your vertabrae gets adjusted and there’s adrenaline and exhilaration and euphoria. “You get off, and you’re like, ‘Man, why can’t every ride be like that,” Davis said. “Or maybe the safety bar flies off and you end up rear end over tea kettle out on the pavement. That’s sort of the Bo Nix experience and I absolutely love him for it.” Davis said he loves Bo Nix, because he believes that it might go awful, but he believes the next play will go great. When the Deep South’s oldest rivalry is renewed, hang on tight! @AuburnFootball @GeorgiaFootball https://t.co/dQFp3rT2uB pic.twitter.com/KdTTA4S9Jp — Rece Davis (@ReceDavis) October 6, 2021
  18. 2 Minute Drill: Keys for Auburn offense vs. Georgia AUBURN, Alabama–Asked about the development of the wide receivers as a group and Elijah Canion in particular, Auburn coach Bryan Harsin said the receivers are a work in progress heading into Saturday’s SEC football matchup against Georgia, Auburn's oldest rival. Harsin extended his remarks Wednesday on the weekly SEC coaches teleconference to include basically every position on the roster needing to get better. The No. 18 Tigers, 4-1 and 1-0 in the SEC, will play host to No. 2 eorgia at 2:30 p.m. CDT on Saturday. The Bulldogs are 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the league. “That group continues to be a work in progress,” Harsin said about the receivers, who are led by sophomore Kobe Hudson’s 14 catches for 217 yards and one touchdown this season. “Most every position group on this team is that same way.” Shedrick Jackson has 14 catches for 173 yards and one score, Demetris Robertson has 17 catches for 172 yards and two touchdowns, Ja’Varrius Johnson has six catches for 79 yards and a touchdown, Malcolm Johnson has three catches for 70 yards and a touchdown, Canion has four catches for 46 yards and the other wide receiver with a reception is Ze’Vian Capers with four catches for 35 yards. Asked about Canion not being on the travel roster for Auburn’s win at LSU last Saturday, Harsin said, “Elijah needs to get himself into the mix. He is out there, he is practicing and has every opportunity, like everybody else, to put themselves into a position to play. At the end of the day, we are still competing in practice. We are still doing things to try to get the best players on the field, the guys who deserve to play, the guys who have worked hard to put themselves in a position to play." Auburn’s starting quarterback, Bo Nix, confirmed that Harsin is pushing players hard to sweat the details. “It is at an all-time high,” Nix said. “Obviously, when it comes to coaching he is relentless when it comes to the details. You can always get better at something and he is making sure that we are seeing those things and working on those things. It is really easy to be comfortable where you are at not getting any better.” Eric Kiesau is shown at Tiger Stadium prior to his first game as Auburn's wide receivers coach.

Harsin said he wants his team to do everything possible this week to get ready for the Bulldogs. “That is one of the things we have got to continue to keep getting better at here in this program–that is understanding the importance of practice,” Harsin said. “There is not a player in America that doesn’t want to play in a game, but the guys who are going to be the most successful, and the dudes that love football, they practice, they study and they do things every single day, not to just get better for the game, but getting better for that day because they want to perform. “Not everybody does that in every group on this football team and every position on the team is a work in progress because we don’t have that from every single group consistently.” Harsin said he wants to get to the point where “iron sharpens iron” in practices. “We are not there yet. That has got to continue to be something that is focused on and is important to every coach and player in this program because you just don’t show up, you don’t roll a ball out there and go play a game. 58COMMENTS “You have got to work your ass off every single day. When guys understand that and you put that amount of time in, and you put that much intensity into something you are really trying to prepare for and be great at, then come game times that is the fun part. That is where you get to go out there and really just execute all of these young have already been doing. “That is the challenge for all position groups, for everybody in this program–that sense of urgency of what it really takes to go out there and play like we all want to, but you have got to do the work. That is what we are focusing on and challenging everybody in our program on every single day.” ">247Sports
  19. i am pretty sure they meant heart. bo has never been a big numbers guy. what kind of auburn fan quits reading something positive over bo when he did in fact have one of the greatest games of his career? he broke the curse damn near single handedly and yet here you are throwing shade.
  20. ya know since we have that big ol jumbo screen lets show some pups in heat to see if it serves as a distraction. lol
  21. i am sure bo wants it as bad as anyone and i would be surprised if he does not have a better game than other qb's have against them but if we do not have a ground game i think we are toast.
