you mean..speeding? Speeding happens on every college campus on earth. It seems that only in athens though do you get actually arrested for it.


Pretty wild. Must be driving extremely bad to get arrested.

this is a tricky one.
-Dooley had 83 wins that decade, Dye had 81 -Dye had 4 SEC titles, Dooley had 3 -Dooley had a national title, Dye had zero It's neck and neck but I think you have to give it to Dooley


Yeah. Pretty close. Crazy thing is Dye played at UGA and Dooley played at Auburn. Also, Dye is 5-3 in head to head against Dooley.

I don’t know instagram so what does that screen mean. And how does someone else see the screen


I actually have no idea. I don’t know instagram either. Google said that tab is for reposts. I have an Instagram but never use it. When I saw this I tried to see this and don’t even see the tab for reposts on any account.
Is this new or something? I don’t even see that option in Instagram. And I updated just to see if I could see this on Hugh’s earlier today.

It looks like he reposted it. Which is most likely accidental, but also doesn’t happen unless you’re looking at it.

For a defense to the wife I’d say, “I was trying to ‘report’ it, not ‘repost’ it. :lol:

Well it didn’t, and maybe for the best. I was born and raised in Alabama but spent a lot of time in the panhandle, and do love it down there.
If Alabama would have waited 2 years for statehood (after Spain surrendered Florida) all of West Florida to the Apalachicola River would most likely be in Alabama today.

Actually the Aggies have the only former SEC athlete in these Winter Olympics, but it’s in the 4-Man Bobsled. The player was a former walk-on WR.

Can you explain to me how we managed to parlay that into hiring a coach that pre-Bruce Auburn wouldn't have hired.


Bruce left 4 weeks before the first exhibition game. 6 weeks before the first game. Best case was interim tag of SP, I think.

What are we doing in basketball right now? Football? Softball? Not very good.


At least give Cohen a chance. You wanted Jay Jacob’s fired in 2012. He had been AD for 7 years at that point. Cohen had been at Auburn for a little over 3 years.

This is true. It’s a little different, but yeah, showing off the student section is probably better.

Hate on the current AD while missing a previous AD, that was hated while AD. Ironic. Nothing new though. Similar to how the backup QB is always the most popular. JABA

Not trying to bash South Carolina either. Every school lies about attendance. It’s actually nice that South Carolina reported its scanned tickets.
The whole concept is off on this. They are comparing Sam Darnold getting the NFL Bonus of $178,000 to Darnold's California Tax Payment for the 2025 year.

The income number they are using is around $46M
Taxable Income for California (9 of 200 days) 4.5% = $2,070,000 Total Taxable Income for California
Over $1M is highest level of Tax Bracket for California (13.5%) - 2,070,000 * 13.5% = $279,450.00

1) They are comparing the NFL incentive of $178,000 to each winning player, but when using the taxable income they are using the $2.5M incentive he gets from the Seahawks for winning the Super Bowl. So no, he's not losing money.

2) The math above isn't correct, but just to show how they came up with the number. Darnold received a $33M Signing Bonus in 2025 and that with his salary make his Tax Liability high for 2025. But the game is played in 2026 and not 2025. His tax liability will not be as high for 2026.

I have no idea how they get the attendance number. But does below look more accurate?

Thats why these arguments of "If Indiana can do it so can anyone" are terrible.

Where are you gonna find another Cig?


Exactly. Cig is in a league of his own with evaluations, development, and execution.

So they didn't pay a bunch of 23 year olds playing their 5th and 6th years?


Sure, but no more than anyone else. I think you can look at the roster and tell that Texas A&M paid more for it's players, and probably most SEC school paid more than Indiana.

We can take a look at this theory that Indiana had a bunch of 5th and 6th years. Let's take a look at each class with significant playing time (Played in more than 6 games).

Indiana had 7 guys from the '20 class, 4 guys from the '21 class
Texas A&M had 4 guys from '20 class, 10 guys from the '21 class

They didn't win with money, they probably had more for NIL than previous years, but it can't be more than SEC schools. . They weren't offering the same caliber players, lots of production from the guys that transferred from JMU. Experience is big, but not much different in 5th and 6th years compared to other teams.

Indiana didn’t win a Championship with money. They did it with great coaching. Top notch player evaluation, development, and execution.

:lol: Auburn Football has been lost in the wilderness. Maybe things get turned around. I’m a little hopeful.
