Quote Of The Day

“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

Get The Picture 
As the Senator likes to say, “Unless something significantly changes” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. That sure sounds like he was jonesing for another job, but didn’t like the offer. Real sign of stability there.

Reading a post by a guy who lives in Auburn that’s a Dawg Fan and did ‘not’ claim this to be 100%.
Apparently the offer is $9MM a year – and Ole Miss Matched.
The next concern was NIL – and apparently Ole Miss has matched.
Guess it could still go either way, but there is some thinking that he may stay now.
Lot of folks believe he has his eye on Tuscaloosa down the road. That might be the final incentive to stay where he is.
Who knows…
I hope he stays and the Pirate wins tonight and they keep those two in-state. It’s one of the more fun rivalry’s.

I believe that The Laner has a bigger goal in mind – Last coach to leave ‘Ol Miss for Auburn finagled himself into an Alabama senatorship. Senator Freshwater has a ring to it. And he has to be smarter than Wingnut.

Man, if he’s considering AU, he’s a fool if he doesn’t lay down a Jimbo-style contract and say take or leave it. AU has zero leverage. So, after AU eventually realizes no big names are coming, maybe it caves and bets the farm on Jr. I think I’ll make some popcorn for Thanksgiving.

I think the Auburn people (or at least Cohen since he’s watched them from across the border for a few years now) might be self-aware enough to realize that if he doesn’t win early, Junior and the shadow cabinet that actually runs the school might not mix too well. That would give me pause about giving him a contract like that, which could cripple Auburn athletics for a while.
Honestly, the best fit for them may be the guy that has Central Florida playing for a potential NY6 bid right now.

A 9-3 type of guy – hell, Auburn had a classier version of that with Gus. He and Auburn deserve each other. I hope Ole Miss hires Cadillac and he beats the brakes off of Lane and Auburn.

Other than Saban or Kirby his coaching W/L record at UM is tops in the league. Winning hides lots of warts for some fans.

Uhhh, because not all 9-win teams are alike from an entertainment standpoint. Auburn fans derided Gus’ high school O despite his unusually competitive record versus Saban. Kiffin’s preferred brand of O is much more sexy to fans, media and skill position recruits.

I want this to be true largely because all the smug AF AU fans around here who have been crowing about Lane being in the bag, and all the fabulous shit he’s going to do as AU HC, are going to have to swallow a lot of abuse. They’re probably going to get whoever this year’s version of Jeremy Pruitt is. FTMF.

Lane need to consider if he wants to be top dog at ‘Ol Miss or Mr. Yellawood’s bitch at Auburn. Adoration of the masses in Oxford or getting the yellowood shaft applied regularly in Auburn. Hope some lubricant comes with that cash.

The Laner blew their chance to win calling back to back time outs before the missed 2-point conversion. If he’d kept two time outs, Miss State would have had to give Ole Miss a shot at a FG to win.
