Is this visitor a long shot? Or someone we have a legit chance of getting? It doesn't look like we're getting anyone else at this point.

So...does it look like we survived his visit to Clemson?

Since our recruiting class is likely to finish outside the top 10 (on 247 at least), I hope it's not an indicator that with UG's rise our recruiting is being drowned out. Asa and Shaun don't seem as impressive a haul as UG's two RB signees.

Second half, more like the fourth quarter. We were leading 41-10 entering it. If those weren’t trashtime TDs, nothing is.

For the love of god, we MUST beat Georgia this year, for the sake of recruiting.

How good an S&C coach is Russell? Like, we're certainly no longer "soft" ala 2011-12, but given all the injuries over the past three seasons I remain apprehensive.

I thought Kirby Smart had locked Georgia down..?  

Sssshhhh! Don't you know that Georgia and LSU are going to be on dynasties equaling Bama and we're going to be lucky to win 6 games for the next 10 years? 

Thank you E! So glad to know CA is coming!

And a early EE. At AU as we speak. Kid is going to be a good one. And I'll go on record. Better than Gatewood. 

I assume you're referring to Malik? If you're optimistic about someone, that says something.

Sorry to bring up bad memories but what exactly does the "whirley bird" look like? I'm sure I saw it because I watched that Clemson debacle but I'm not sure what it was. I do remember screaming obscenities at Gus the whole game, especially on JJ's fourth down dance.

Whatever it is, let's leave it behind in 2016.

I haven't seen anything about Nussmeier leaving FL. Yeah KB could take a position there but I feel he'd want OC.

MMW...AU will be in ATL on this day next year. 

I'd rather that be yesterday next year

PM?

If we have to fire Gus after next year, who would we be looking at getting (praying Bozo retires soon as rumored).

Personal agenda been that way since CDC left.  Best to ignore his vitriol.

Like most of the young generation if things don't go the way he wants them then throw a hissy fit.  Get over it buttercup. 

Remember, he predicted Woody to be the starter by mid-season. Are there some problems right now that need to be taken care of, absolutely. But he takes it WAY too far. He had me absolutely convinced all summer we were headed for 2012, pt. 2.

Sean is the backup.

JJ was the plan for 2015 and JF3 for 2016...

Didn't quite work out that way.

Are we already ditching WB? Him, SW, and Bishop wouldn't be a bad depth chart. Still want Stidham, but somehow I see our QB situation being a slight bit better next year.

Before last weekend he was expected to visit Auburn officially one time and maybe also come another time. I don't know about now though. And Summon is not getting fired this year.

Jesus. You said that we would probably sign one more QB regardless. Who is most likely (if you're able to disclose it)?

Can we expect him to visit us again? And if Sumlin gets fired from A&M would that help our chances?

Will the outcome of this game affect his decision? Given how many P5 home games in a row we've lost (and that it started with A&M), this might be the most important game of the season. The very thought of losing ANOTHER P5 game in JHS makes me nauseous.

If SW keeps playing like he did last week, with WB as backup the stakes are a bit lower here. But if he's not the answer, I shudder to think of missing out on Stidham, and of how long we could be down for if we don't get him.

The fact that I'm busy tomorrow night doesn't help my nerves for sure.

I like messing with you old folks. 

You're seriously evil.

Since we probably couldn't get Herman, who would be the best realistic candidate for us to go after?

I'm glad you posted this. As angry as I am with Gus it's best to talk about what needs to be done to make things better. If the offensive players can build off of second half improvement and Gus actually becomes...you know...sane again, an 8-4 season appears VERY doable.

Some suggestions to make for offensive improvement:
-Put the freshmen WRs out there more often. Yes it was just one catch but I was very pleased with Kyle Davis.
-On short downs, PUT IN KAMRYN PETTWAY! Is there "inside info" about him? (I don't want to know what it is, I'm just curious as to whether HE now can't keep out of trouble too)
-Move Horton back to tackle. He's almost certainly more talented and it benefits us in the future.-Perhaps the most obvious, let SW play. I'm not going to go over this any more, however, I'm betting the musical QBs was a big part of why our O-line struggled.

On a side note, just imagine how good our LBs could be in two years if DeShaun and Darrell keep it up (and stay here, and stay healthy).

Last night made me both more optimistic and pessimistic at the same time--optimistic because we were in the position where we SHOULD'VE beaten a team most pundits would blow us out by at least three touchdowns, pessimistic because Gus's horrific play calling might deter KB and JS. I'm also concerned about whether we can get a decent head coach. I don't believe we shouldn't, since there's five other teams that have to share the division with UAT. For the past thirty-five years, we've always rebounded quickly when we hit a slump, so I have to believe that with JS and an experienced group of WRs (remember the sophomore thread), we should rebound again before the decade ends. We don't want the Kick 6 to be like Punt Bama Punt in more ways than just one.

Also, I have to believe something is going on behind the scenes. Especially with Kamryn Pettway not playing and the general silence by those in the know surrounding it.

Well thanks for the gift Boulware!

Maybe we'll lose by just 6 points! /s

^Gotta love the ACC refs

Gus had better apologize to the D.
