Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I prefer watching at home. When I was younger, going to games was great, but I can't handle it anymore, health wise. At home I'm comfortable, or at least as comfortable as I can be. No lines for food or the bathroom. No rowdy people bumping into me. I can still act a fool whenever I want.

I get that. I didn't say it wasn't better in some situations or for some people, but you will never get that extreme high that you get actually being present...Those times when you can feel that shared explosive adrenaline-dopamine high down to the marrow of your bones so strong that you can't sleep until daylight the next day.

We haven't had many plays or games like that in the last two decades. I hurt too, I am not in your shape, but it is extremely uncomfortable for me to attend games, but if/when we ever have another really great season...I want to be there at least once when something powerful happens...it will be worth the pain and discomfort to feel that awesome feeling again.

Dude....that freaked me out and almost broke me...but alas I am old, even probably beyond @InVOLuntary old...so I look forward, God willing, to consuming many "Soups" before long

 

[Orangeburst]

And I cannot help but comment...soup man looks like a pot pie.

Shew you should read the Auburn mods and board.

He apparently showed up and right off the bat believed the Boise, Mountain West "ways" were superior to SEC ways. SEC players were dumbed down. He believed he didn't need to make good connections. Didn't attend Auburn events or connect with alumnus. Didn't think recruiting was that big of a priority because his Xs and Os were superior to everyone else in the league.

He's a worse version of Pruitt. He won't last another 2 years, max.

If they fire him after this year, mark my words, the next coach will be worse. Steele or someone equally bad.

I probably don't put much stock in the message board rumors. Particularly because everyone from the top boosters to the AD was looking for reasons to fire him for cause just a few months ago. But it was weird. He did talk about Boise St like it was the mecca of CFB.

You compared him to Pruitt. It came off like Butch Jones. Like he didn't fully grasp he wasn't at a midmajor any more.

Saban is coming out looking like a little bit** in all this.

Very much an “old man yelling at clouds” vibe

Auburn fans are usually not a good judge of their own coach. Like most of us, they overreact coming and going. That doesn't mean Harsin is a good coach, just saying fans collectively are more emotional than analytical.

My personal impression was that Harsin irritated people, including players, simply by insisting on running the program his way. He kicked some kids off the team for not showing up to meetings and practice, because he knew Malzahn had let discipline get too slack. He didn't bow and scrape for the big donors, because he knew they played a big role in Auburn's disfunction. By doing those things he made enemies and they didn't play nice.

Harsin may end up being a poor coach, or just too inflexible to succeed at a place like Auburn, but he walked into a bad culture and a bad personnel situation and then lost his starting qb with nobody decent to take his place. Classic year zero.

Whatever happened to that poster with an Auburn avi who claimed to be some sort of honorary mod on here? They disappear when their program starts blowing.

You have proven the "act the fool" part on this forum plenty of times, for sure.

This is sad.

Actually, he doesn't say he received an offer from Georgia, just an offer to finish his career there. So maybe someone there was like "sure you can walk on or practice here"

Doing a mini 4 team playoff each conference for the final spots ain't a bad idea. You'd have to add 3 g5 conferences and ditch the others.

As I said before, glad we have DW representing us.

Watching this inside sec on the tournament... Mike Honcho isn't a great slider. First contact came with the bent knee on the triple and wild pitch

Fine with me.

 

[Nashvegas31]

He is making up all of these offers lol

Probably heck I thought he committed to Jackson st a week or so ago when he said something about finishing career with coach prime. He ain’t playing at UGA unless it’s as a walk on
