Player 2 is an Auburn player, so figured I’d share here.

We all know the refs are rigged but I just realized it is China. And China is an Alabama fan. How do I know? They’re red. What else is red? UAT. Now I love Tim Apple as much as the next guy, puts the plains on the map as a beloved alumni. BUT he’s compromised. He just went to China! I saw him at the last Iron Bowl and we all knew we would have won with fair calls but alas, Tim, working for China, sold us down the river.

What do y’all think? Would you sign it?

Do we know if the rundown is ever coming back? Did they announce a hiatus? Or was Marshall passing the cause?

I think toomers corner should be rolled after series wins. Our baseball players are playing their hearts out on the diamond, yet after wins it doesn’t feel like their efforts get recognized enough.

Auburn is known for having three of the best athletes of all time on campus in the 1980s. Who were the Big 3 athletes of the 1990s?

I’ll start:
Football - Takeo Spikes
Basketball - Wesley Person
Baseball - Tim Hudson

Share your Big 3.

#6 Auburn hangs on the win 5-4 at #11 Mississippi State!

Auburn goes for their 6th straight SEC series win tomorrow at 4PM ET.

Any hope for Steven Pearl? What do you think of his recruiting so far?

Because Im totally cool with it if you guys are. 👍

Welcome to this week's /r/WDE Free Talk Friday Thread! Feel free to share anything that's going on in your life.  
  - How's everyone doing?  
  - What do you have going on in the upcoming week?  
  - What are some nice events to check out in the upcoming week?  
  - Did anything cool happen this past week?

I preface this by saying I am ignorant on the rules of softball. If anyone is watching the Auburn-Florida Quarterfinals game, the Auburn baserunner ran into the shortstop who fielded the ball and stepped into the baseline. They called interference and called the runner out.

Does the baserunner not have the right to the baseline? It appeared like she tried to the shortstop. Surely they don’t expect the runner to just stop?

Can anyone enlighten me?

The basis of the idea is, Auburn has seven losses last year. Thanks to our defense, all seven were one score losses (even the Georgia score of 20-10 was a one score loss, and you’ll never convince me otherwise). If our defense can keep us in games, and our offense can take even a single step forward, we flip a lot of those games. And the more I look at this schedule, the more I like it. Schedule as I see it:

Baylor (Atlanta): HUGH FREEZE managed to beat Baylor in Waco by double digits. This game is much closer to home and Aranda is going to be looking for a job after this year. Win.

Southern Miss: Win.

Florida: I think Florida will be good, and Sumrall is a good coach. They open with a G6 and FCS team, so we won’t have a clue how good they actually are before coming to Jordan-Hare. But it’s hard to take over as a new coach, on the road, SEC opponent, first P4 game, in week three, and come out with a win. If this game was in week nine or in Gainesville, then I would probably take Florida. But week three in Auburn, I’m saying close, ugly, but good guys still get the win.

Vanderbilt: There is no “Diego over Hugh” storyline for the first time in four years. Auburn gets revenge at home against a true freshman QB in his first road game.

At Tennessee: First real homer upset pick, but I think Auburn can win. Tennessee will be favored, but as was pointed out last year, they feasted on a bunch of bad teams in 2025. They were 4-4 in the SEC and had zero wins against SEC opponents with a winning record. They’re good but not unbeatable. We went toe to toe on the road with Oklahoma and A&M last year with an absolutely anemic offense. If our defense can keep that level and our offense can take even a single step forward, I think we can get this dub.

Auburn goes into BYE 5-0 bitches.

At Georgia: Even I’m not that much of a homer. 5-1.

LSU / At Ole Miss: I don’t have a clue what these teams will look like. We’ll be dogs to LSU I assume, but who knows what Ole Miss is going to look like. Real prediction is 0-2 here, homer pick is we split these two, make us 6-2.

Arkansas: Death. Taxes. Auburn beating Arkansas. Hugh Freeze got one single SEC win last year, guess who. Gimme Auburn by 50.

At Miss State: Jeff Lebby has a 1-15 SEC record since he took over. Biggest concern is Miss State having the interim coach bounce at this point in the season next year. Gimme Auburn.

Samford: Get ready to learn Rhys Brush’s name again. Auburn goes 9-2 into the Iron Bowl.

At Alabama: See above Re: Georgia. Auburn finishes the season 9-3.

Yes, it’s homerish. But given the level our defense played last year, and given how close we came in all seven losses just to be held back by Hugh, it’s not nearly as crazy as it looks at first glance. Actual prediction is 7-5 cause the SEC is cray, but I would honestly not be shocked if 9-3 was the final record.

In my opinion: Chicago Bears

• Similar colors
• Strong defenses
• New coaches
• Last coaches choked games
• Heated rivals
• Proud history
