Let all the Bulldog faithful rally behind the men who now wear the red and black with two words, two simple words which express the sentiments of the entire Bulldog Nation: Auburn Sucks.
One thing the Dawgs have going for them in 2026: tons of returning starters…in fact, they are tied for the most in the SEC with Oklahoma at 14.
Tennessee and Texas, surprisingly, also bring back more than half their starters from 2025, while South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Vanderbilt return 10 starters on their squads.
So who has the fewest returning starters, you might ask. The answer should absolutely excite you.
Ah, Auburn. Notice they have the same amount of returning starters as South Florida…shocker, I know.
Happy September, Refugees. It’s your monthly reminder that Auburn sucks.
All that money, maneuvering, and lawyering and their starter sounds like a guy who would be leading the Sons of Anarchy, not the Commodores. Methinks Curtis will be getting some playing time in the earlier part of the season and they’ll hand him the reins gradually, or maybe Blaze is the next Diego Pavia. Who knows…who cares.
Meanwhile, the Bobby Hillbilllies have anointed a true freshman as their starting quarterback:
He’s the first true freshman to start at quarterback for the Vols since Brent Schaeffer in 2004, when the Vols went on to play for the SEC Championship only to lose to Auburn. I think 2004 might have been one of Auburn’s mythical national championship years, so there’s that.

I have to wonder how we let this happen. After two seasons of prolific offense, we let a coach slip away to the Barners. And, of course, Auburn already released an image of him in the wolf’s clothing.
Georgia baseball assistant/hitting coach Nick Ammirati is heading to an SEC rival.
Working alongside Will Coggin, "Ammo" helped the Bulldogs construct one of the country's top offenses in each of his two seasons, while excelling on the recuriting trail.https://t.co/2mjxbs3dUo
The Bulldogs led the league in home runs during the 2025 and 2026 regular seasons, while shattering the program record with 179 longballs last year. They also set new team marks for wins, runs scored and RBIs, while making their first trip to the College World Series in 18 years.
Perhaps Ammirati’s biggest impact came on the recruiting trail, where he helped Georgia bring in the top-ranked transfer portal class last year. Ammirati historically excels in the area, with coach Wes Johnson calling him a “dynamic recruiter” upon his hiring in 2025.
”He’s a star,” Johnson said before that season. “We’re extremely different personalities — I’m a little more loud, and Nick’s a little more quieter, but we think a lot alike. He’s always looking for something to make a player better, whether it be through a mechanical change or through analytics, and he’s very exceptional at it. He understands data, he values data, and he’s able to help players.”
In addition to hitting, Ammirati primarily worked with Georgia’s outfielders. He also helped director of player development/video and scouting Drew Finley manage the pitching staff in games where Johnson got ejected.
Ugh. Auburn had some great arms, but didn’t necessarily excel in the hitting department at times…this isn’t something we should be okay seeing happen, but such is the business.
Between the scandals, a cheated National Championship, and the cluster that was the first expanded CFP selection process, Warde Manuel deserves nothing but the worst in his retirement. Somehow, though, I feel he’ll land on his feet afterwards, in some other school where his kind is welcomed. I’m thinking:
Getting a new uniform sponsor, getting new shades of shit.
Georgia Tech is changing their shades of gold and navy blue 🐝👀
With their upcoming move from Adidas to Under Armour on July 1st, Georgia Tech has made changes to their color palette and is using the shift in apparel companies to refresh their identity.
Granted, we have our new Bulldog head thanks to our uniform sponsor, but I wonder if Tech is going to be able to still have all the unique and interesting uniform combinations when they take the field next year and lose.
Oh, I forgot, they’ve got Fernando Mendoza’s brother, so they’ll be winning a national championship, right.
Sorry, it must be brain fog…I was confusing Auburn with Tech. Both will be losing, but only one will claim a championship in something at year’s end.
Man, Michigan folks are melting down right now at the recent news that their NCAA Championship basketball coach is leaving to take over the NBA.s Dallas Mavericks.
Feels like the U-M is becoming a stepping stone. I thought they were a “Blue Blood”, no? Hmmm.
Anyway, the few more interesting aspects of the furor over losing May is interesting…first, there’s the rumor mill, that says May is leaving to evade tampering charges (does that even really happen?).
RUMOR: Dusty May is rumored to have left Michigan to avoid a looming transfer portal tampering scandal. May assembled nearly his entire roster using the portal last year en route to a title.

Ah, Warde Manuel. Or, A Lewd Manure, as I liked to call him by his anagram, or better known as the head of the first expanded CFP Committee who continued to piss off the entire country through the 2024 season with convoluted rankings systems, “quality losses”, and a clear preference to award the B1G over the SEC as much as he could. Once championed by his own conference as the man who advocated for the B1G and succeeded in getting Ohio State in and through to a National Title, is now being targeted to be ousted from Michigan.
Not that it would be without cause. Let’s face it, from the 2023 Michigan National Championship forward, it’s not like Michigan has been looking great in the news. Cheating scandals, sign stealing, domestic violence and kidnapping, and that’s just from the football head coaches. Never mind a potential tampering scandal for basketball…what in the world is going on in Ann Arbor…and why, oh why, would anyone plop Manuel up to be the head of the CFP Committee, ever?
Maybe they knew all this, and they had the goods to put him under duress to get what the big donors up north wanted?
Who knows…but it should be a bad look, maybe for all involved, but it definitely continues to add more asterisks to nattys than fake nattys claimed by the Barners of east Alabama. Maybe the Texas Techs, Auburns, and Michigans of the world need to form their own conference where anything goes, and no one is a real winner at the end of the season’s conference championship.
Call it the Terry Bowden Invitational, and I might even watch.
Question: Why even complain and send public statements when you can just claim he was the Coach of the Year anyway and put it on a banner? Why does it matter the decisions that are made for accolades when you can just claim bias and favoritism and claim the award, anyway?
