Popular Post AUght2win 7,122 Posted August 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2022 Top headline for “Auburn Football” on Al.com right now. A few days ago it was a story about Malzahn holding a dance party for his staff at UCF. This has ZERO to do with Auburn football. Sometimes I wonder if the biggest media conglomerate in the state is just running a long-con joke by covering our team as bad as humanly possible. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 4,068 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 They generally post anything that mentions AU football in it and in this case Plumlee was directly referencing Nick Marshall which made it classify under AU football I guess.

I get the logic. But I disagree with the logic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al.com, Finebaum when he was in Birmingham, etc all have the easiest jobs in the world. Cover CFB in a CFB obsessed state. No matter what happens, Alabama is good or Auburn is good or either are bad, you win because people will click. Al.com is like the bad step child of the AJC. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumterAubie 3,110 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Those guys go out of their way to make Auburn look bad. 3 or 4 years ago there was a defensive tackle I believe, who left uga under physical abuse of his gf charges, again I believe. The headline read Auburn contacts or recruits physical abuse charged uga player. He signed with bamr. Not a word though, from al.com about the charges in that particularly headline. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUinMS9528 1,086 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Yes, al.con (appropriately spelled in the OP) is a Dennis Miller joke! They have always had a pro-bama/anti-Auburn bias. It doesn’t make sense. Most bama fans have to go to the public library to get online. And most of them don’t know where the public library is located. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 10,369 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I may be in the minority but this really doesn't bug me. They have been doing this for a long time keeping tabs on our former coaches. They still publish articles on Chizik and Tubberville and it's nice every once in a while to read about what they are up to. It just happened that this was the most recent article they published when you opened the app, which is why it was at the top. For example, if you open it now the top article is about all five of our OL getting a NIL deal with Hooters. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,910 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Bias by Bamaham media (& journalist wannabes like Al. Com) against Auburn is as old as the AU/UA rivalry. There's little doubt floaters like Thalmel & shock jocks like Forde and BSPN receive some sort of kickbacks from Bama funders - their stories are SO irresponsible and otherwise make SO little sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Auburn Loses Out on Recruit," but crickets when a recruit chooses another school that bammer was recruiting? It's comical how slanted towards bammer they are.

JMHO Plumlee is a crazy athlete. He'll make UCF look like Auburn with Nick Marshall (on offense), and certain Auburn fans will continually bring Gus' record up at UCF. Plumlee is that fast...just not the best arm/decision maker. Unfortunately for him, he won't learn anything new under Gus...except maybe some bad habits. If UCF has a top 50 defense, they will flirt with a big bowl. Otherwise, it'll be a shootout every game for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autan 813 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Doesn't surprise me about former 4* Plumlee. Gus almost signed him out of HS but we had Nix and Gus really wanted Plumlee at WR, as did most programs. Ole Miss had an opening for a QB, but then Corral transferred in. They alternated for a while, but MC was the better passer and eventually won the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand why I’m getting UCF stories weekly - especially with such big news like who they named as starting QB and their coaches dancing at team meetings.
