Title: August 2nd
Post by: Snaggletiger on July 19, 2023, 02:55:02 PM
13 days until the War Eagle Tigers crank it up on the practice field.  I'm curious about how much access we'll get to what goes on in practice.  We had so many years of paranoid Gus letting the press stay a few minutes at the start.  With Bryman Hatpin, nobody cared.  Either way, I'm pumped.

Well, I don't know about that, but their eyes are crossed.

Less than one week and we'll start to get practice reports.

The following day, Aug 3, we get live televised American football.  Ok, so it's the Hall of Fame game (Jets v Browns), but I will watch every second of that farce. 

Then every week after gives you some delicious preseason NFL action leading up to...

Saturday, August 26, which provides the smorgasboard of college football action below:

Navy/ND
UTEP/Jville St
UMass/NMSt (scout our week 1 opponent!)
Ohio/SDSU
Hawaii/Vandy
SJSU/USCw
FIU/LaTech

Our long summer of discontent is nearly over, folks.  Start stretching your livers and digging out your favorite superstitious sartorial mistake and let's get ready for this shit!

I have to get a new AU hat and Game Day shirt every year.  I still have time, but the selections will be made soon.

My alma mater (2x) opens up against the Mercer Bears in the FunGomery. Live at the Take a Crap Bowl. I'll be sure to pack the Bersa Thunder along with my stadium seats. Good time to Restore the Roar!

And hopefully will be the last time you have to buy that UA garbage. At least there are multiple hat makers in the game I guess.

Its been a long while since being this excited about Auburn football. Who is your #1 guy you'll be watching fall camp. Offense and defense.

Mines...

Avery Jones/offense
Austin Keys/defense

I choose:

Camden Brown
Jaylin Simpson

Think both are in position to have a breakout year, and for Jaylin to shoot up draft boards at FS.

Jaylin Simpson

Excellent picks, both.

I'm going to swim upstream a bit:

Offense: Fairweather (TE).  I think Hugh/Montgomery find lots of ways to utilize his mismatches.

Defense: J. Jones (DL).  He's getting some help on the edge.  He's got fellow hole-pluggers.  I think he beats plenty of one-on-one matchups to terrorize QBs.
Title: Re: August 2nd
Post by: Snaggletiger on August 02, 2023, 02:34:06 PM
Offense:  Brian Battie.  I think this guy gives us a dimension on offense we haven't had in quite some time.  Shitcherpants quick/fast.

Defense: Zion Puckett.  Going with more of a sleeper here.  This guy is a tweener.  Listed as a safety, but the size of a linebacker at 6' 226.  Seasoned vet who's ready for a break out year.

I'm looking for a breakout year from Damari Alston on teh offenses and Marcus Harris on teh defense (clap, clap)

Just hoping to enjoy this year of football because venture capital bros and other assorted bean counters have driven this sport into something more akin to WWE than actual competition.  :facepalm:

Bad news for RB1? Heartbreaking stuff, as talented as he is, if we can’t get him cleared.

Hunter will be on the field for the 1st offensive snap.

Just my naked speculation.

Wipe your chins.

Some video of Thorne here:

Looks to have a nice touch on the short/intermediate routes and a pretty good RPO action.

Reminds me of a young Joe Mantegna, one of the greatest QBs of all time.

To your non-ghey point, he does have good leg definition.  Maybe he can move/run a bit more than I expect.

Yep, Fairweather is a beast.  Good news, in that DL, Quientrail Travis-Jamison, is on the field.  Dude adds instant depth across the front.

Johnny Dangerously was a mildly humorous, Michael Keaton movie from the early 80's.  But there was one scene that I thought of, after reading through a bookfaces comment section on a story about Jar-Kwez being absent from practice.

- Vermin's going to kill Johnny's brother at the Savoy theater.

- Pass it on.

- Vermin's going to kill Johnny's brother at the Savoy. Pass it on.

- Vermin's going to kill Johnny's mother at the Savoy. Pass it on.

- Vermin's mother is gonna kill Johnny at the Savoy. Pass it on.

- Urgent message through the grapevine, Johnny.

- Yeah? What is it?

- Johnny and the Mothers are playing Stomping at the Savoy in Vermont tonight.

- Vermin's gonna kill my brother at the Savoy theater tonight.

- I didn't say that.

- No, but I know this grapevine.


The comments make you scratch your head and wonder where in the holy fuck people get their "information".  To recap, here's what we KNOW:

JH was filmed laying pipe into what is presumed to be a co-ed. A video of said plumbing operation was made, and someone put it out on the social interwebs.  The University issued a statement saying, we are aware of a DIY plumbing video, several potential plumbers have been suspended, and we are currently watching said video on repeat, until we figure out what to do. Hunter was not at practice Thursday.

That's it!!!  Nobody knows one more gawt damn thing about it. However, here's a few tidbits from our fan base, and others, stated as FACT:

-Hunter filmed it without her consent

-Someone else filmed her and Hunter without their consent

-She secretly filmed it, knowing Hunter would soon be a millionaire, and she would have something to blackmail him with.

-It was an ex-girlfriend/ex-boyfriend who got hold of it and released it.

-There is a pending criminal case against Hunter for filming without consent

-Hunter should be in jail

-The girl's parents are pressuring the University to kick Hunter out of school

-Hunter won't play in 2023

-Hunter has already been cleared to start the first game in 2023

-Hunter actually can swim. Okay, I don't know if they said that.  I might have added that last part.  That's on me. ($1.00 to Andrew Schulz)

I didn’t read most of this, obviously.  But this whole Hunter situation concerns me. I am always afraid that there is a hidden camera in the hotel room when I’m getting freaky with myself.

My long term goal is to run for public office and the last thing I need is something like this to come to light.

And you're afraid you'll have to run as a Democrat?
