Not not broken. Football has always been cyclical in the Deep South. A couple teams goes up a couple goes down. Texas and Oklahoma will experience the same.

Just FYI for us baseball geeks.

Carson Skipper hung up the spikes this week.

Such a great middle relief guy for a couple years for us

Kodi doesn’t play around. No nonsense kind of expectations.

The numbers always find a way of working out.

My neck is 18.

You’re lucky. There are tons on the shelves of 18” with 34 sleeves

Not so many 21” with 33 sleeves. Every dress shite has to be fully tailored for me. I have had a massive neck as long as I can remember. Tiny head. At 20 years old 18” neck 6 7/8 hat. I weighed maybe 165. Now 21” neck with 7 1/8 hat size

We have a good bit of solid players in this class which is needed.

But will say even tho our ranking is fairly high the quality is yet to be determined. There are a lot in our class that does have to be developed. But I’m so happy with the amount of bodies are taking on the lines of scrimmage. That is a must and to work in this system you need experience. So bringing guys in that will wait a couple years to be developed is a very good thing. And we aren’t breaking the bank for 6-7 players while the others are just afterthoughts

I’m not sure about the most cut throat since Dye. Maybe since Tuberville. Tubs was a menace until the undefeated season. Probably the greatest Auburn team ever assembled. They were incredible in every facet of the game. Could run at will, could pass at will, stop the run and stop the pass, great kicking game. No USC would not have beaten the 04 Auburn team that bullshite transitive property crap was flushed down the drain when we crushed UGA. Because they beat us down pretty good the year before as well.

Gus was pretty cut throat as well but in a different manner. Either you could stop the run game or you couldn’t. If you couldn’t he’d put 50 on you.

Golesh I want to see if the silent bravado is real. Granted I think this will be his least talented team he coaches at AU. But still has the roster to win 7 games easily.

I don’t disagree with you at Bubs age. His swing is what it is. There is a huge hole in his swing and pitchers know it now. His job is to work on the weaknesses within his swing.

Bub is the most naturally gifted player on the team and it’s probably not close other than possibly Bingaman or Mason. But baseball IQ is something that has to be drilled and drilled into players.

As I said over and over and over all season you can’t strike out with a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs. Just can’t happen. Especially looking. It’s that simple. It is going to happen occasionally but when it’s late in the game and you’re down 1 just putting it in play ties the game most of the time.

Only other thing I really think we need to work on is the bunt game. From players that should be good at bunting. Sometimes I think it just willing to truly sacrifice yourself. Everyone trying to get that perfect bunt in no man’s land when all we need is to advance the runner.

Granted a lot depends on the makeup of the team. Mason, Bingaman, and some of the other freshmen that played should bring more power next season. If we find a could DH’s that can crush. We may be a gorilla ball team that plays for big innings. A lot of strategy is determined before the season starts. This year was working the count on starting pitching. Next year may be jumping on the first good pitch you see. We as fans have to live with those decisions.

Anyway I expect all our batters to improve slightly and I will always trust Butch until he gives us a couple seasons not to or appears to not have the drive for the game anymore.

I haven’t kept up with a ton of recruiting but seems like a solid class. Not an elite class but a very good core and bodies on the OL

I ain’t reading that shite but I’m sure it’s something blah blah blah. I’m sure the young players have to mentally overcome losing in the Supers as the overall 4 seed.

So same situation can apply to every team in the nation except whoever wins the championship. But writers know we are pussies as fans that will nitpick shite to death so they get clicks playing up to the loud minority.

Yes I wanted to make it to Omaha, yes I wanted to win a natty. We can up a hair short. Ok. Still a great season with an extremely young team. Almost all contributors can come back plus we have 2-3 decent true freshman arms that are live. They will have to continue to work on consistency. And maybe Whalen can get healthy after some arm problems early this season he came in with high expectations.

Need to find a little power at the DH spot. Need a true base stealer at the lead off spot. I figure Rembert goes into the draft I think he is still slotted in the top 3 rounds. Also I think Petro is draft eligible sophomore as well. But maybe NIL will keep him around. I would guess Bingaman will slide to 3rd because Eric will most likely enter the draft. Not sure what more he can show. Elite Glove decent power just slow running
