    USAToday: Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley complains that coronavirus rules among Power 5 programs haven't been equal

    That is a perfect picture. He strikes me as a whiner and a crier -- because he IS a whiner and a crier.

    Favorite play in Alabama history

    For me, just a few... Teague-Thomas in the top 10. Antonio Langham's interception against Auburn a few weeks before that in Legion Field in the top 10, too. Mount Cody's block against Tennessee in the mix. David Palmer lining up at QB and tying Tennessee, denying them a win in the series again...

    Scott Cochran is Leaving for Georgia

    Assuming this is true, with so many outlets reporting, we've heard doom and gloom with so many departures. People have been dancing on our graves since 2010. I admit Cochran leaving is a blow, but it doesn't have to be, if he's replaced well. I'm almost wondering how good of a ST coach he'll be...

    Best and Worst Sports Announcers/Analysts?

    I haven't posted in a while, but I'm going to briefly weigh in on this -- in part to hold myself accountable a year from now, LOL. There are too many I don't like to name all their names, but I'm going to mention a couple in particular: either Griese, Bob or Brian. I felt like Bob had skin in...

    Plain Trouble on "Da Plains" (all AU posts here)

    I don't think I've ever seen creatures eat their own so quickly. Just a few months ago, "Boobie" was fantastic, just as good as Bo Scarborough ever was, better even, probably better than anybody "UAT" had. These were the things on one of the Auburn fan boards (I read them from time to time for...

    I'm late to the discussion, and new to the board (as a poster), but our prayers are with you, GrayTide.

    Poll: Way Too Early 2020 Top Five In Your Opinion

    Absolutely what I was saying, as well.

    Poll: Way Too Early 2020 Top Five In Your Opinion

    Guys, when I said "unknown" at quarterback, I meant who was going to play there -- I figure it will be Mac. I don't think it's set in stone. I never said Mac was "unknown." If that was what was implied, it wasn't my intent. Boy, the Mac love on here is off the charts. I don't have a problem...

    Poll: Way Too Early 2020 Top Five In Your Opinion

    Like most here, I normally weigh a few things when I do these: A.) Who's returning for whom, and how good are they. B.) What's the quarterback situation like? What's the situation with the O-line and D-line? C.) What kind of coaching turnover did they have? D.) Did they get a fantastic transfer...

    Link: LSU Losing Tons To The Draft and Other Employers

    We agree a lot, but I don't know about this one. They have lost A TON, more than any champion I can remember in recent years, including us after Ingram and Julio left. Remember, and I know this sounds like Captain Obvious: Orgeron had to have just the right situation and personnel. He is not...

    Link: NFL Network Mock Draft...

    I live in Texas. NOT a Cowboys fan. But occupational hazard (sports writer) means I have to watch and take in everything they do. I completely agree with this post. I see it every time I see him. I like Amari as a person but I can't un-see it, if you follow me.

    News Article: ESPN: Way-too-early Top 25 poll

    Is this real? Auburn at 5 and A&M at 6? Are they aware of Auburn's defensive losses and A&M's... well, that they're A&M?

    News Article: ESPN: Way-too-early Top 25 poll

    No, you're right, they're not. But ESPN updates their power rankings. It is a bit ridiculous that LSU finished third.

    News Article: ESPN: Way-too-early Top 25 poll

    Except for when they had Hershel, I don't think they're four spots better than Bama at any point of their existence, or ours.

    Link: Kirk Herbstreit On LSU's Postgame Celebration

    2020 LSU cannot help but drop off. There is no way in this world they lose just one regular-season game. Like TideEngineer08, I think they drop the game in Gainesville to Florida (you're welcome, Bazza), and they lose to us in Baton Rouge. Most likely, they lose to Auburn at JHS. I think they...
