Auburn offensive coordinator Mike Bobo: "I think this is the ultimate college town when you think of Auburn University"

… Auburn, Alabama is certainly one of them.
Filed under Auburn's Cast of Thousands, Blowing Smoke
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
I think he meant something else, but if he’s gonna be sloppy he’s gonna look stupid. 🙂

You’re probably right, but I was hoping it was the first showing from Agent Bobo. 😉

It’s not all bad though. When we play them this year, the broadcast will have to give equal time to Bobo to Corey Allen in 1996, along with the You Know What with our legendary boneheads.

At his next presser, Bobo will channel his inner Sinead and start singing “Nothing Compares 2 U”. The man has a job, and comparative to CSU and Columbia, Auburn likely does look to be a Shangri-La of a town.

Fort Collins is one of the best cities in the country. Columbia and Auburn are both awful.

I think you are confusing Fort Collins with Boulder or Colorado Springs.

Fort Collins is an absolutely wonderful place, as is Boulder. Never been to Colorado Springs, but I have no doubt that it’s great as well. I’d walk from here to Fort Collins before I went to school in Columbia, SC, that’s for sure.

Auburn really isn’t a bad place. It’s no Athens for sure, but it’s also a lot better than the Clemsons and Starkvilles of the world.

Auburn had gotten a lot better in the past 20 years (as more and more Georgia kids have gone who wanted the UGA experience but weren’t gained admission?). It’s still very similar to Clemson. Agreed on Starkville. I’m not sure there’s a more aptly-named town in America.
LikeLike
The thing about Starkville is they understand what they are and have. They joke right on the BBall court, “Starkvegas.”
Auburn doesn’t think they are Athens, or Chapel Hill, they think they are Atlanta!

Let’s not forget the Bobo was coaching in Columbia, SC last year. Hell, I would state that Auburn is an ultimate college town as well under those circumstances.
That reminds me of a colleague who moved from Cleveland to Richmond, VA last year. He kept going on and on about what an amazing place Richmond was, which was odd to me. Then I reminded myself where he moved from and it all made sense.

As one who lives in Williamsburg and travels to Richmond infrequently, I agree with you. That sounds odd.

As a former C’villian, I don’t mind Richmond all that much at all… I’ve just never found it amazing or anything. But I guess if you’re coming from Cleveland you might have that perspective. That also reminds me of my time when I was in Tampa, and people would move down or visit from the rust belt region and gush over replaces like New Port Richey, Largo, etc. I just laughed.

I like Largo better than Tampa the two and a half years I lived there. But I was more than ready to leave FL when we moved.

Richmond is actually pretty cool if you embrace the Fan. I lived there when I was single, but if you lived in the Fan with family and kids, there’s all sorts of fun things to do around there.
They have a Fox Theatre equivalent at the north end of the Fan, owned by a non-profit, which shows recent run movies at a couple $ per ticket. Easter on Parade. Nary a chain restaurant in the Fan, all of which convert to active bars at night. VCU right on the fringe of the Fan. Mostly historic townhomes – think Georgetown – all with interesting character.

I was at UGA from 1998-2002 and in those years I had a lot of friends at Auburn and went to visit a few times. That town sucked hard back then, Auburn was just a frat party campus and if you didn’t have an in with a party you were out of luck. In the years since, I think they’ve gotten some better bars and restaurants around their downtown but it’s still far from being a fun scene.
