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.
NEW: Steve Sarkisian on Ole Miss’ transfer portal practices and academic standards:
“At Texas, we will only take 50% of a player’s academic credit hours. You may be a semester from graduating, but you’re going all the way back to 50% if you play here and want a degree. But at… pic.twitter.com/1fjQSpal0b

Look, Sark has some reason to be bitter towards Ole Miss, particularly Pete Golding, his former counterpart during their times together with Saban’s Alabama.
According to Wickersham, as Manning’s recruitment came down to the wire, Pete Golding, then Alabama’s defensive coordinator (who now holds the same job at Ole Miss), invoked Sarkisian’s struggles with alcoholism in an attempt to sway him away from the Longhorns while on a call with Manning and his circle of trust. Wickersham explained the moment while speaking with Pablo Torre.
“Pete, who is friends with Sark, says on this call, ‘I love Sark, he’s my best friend.’ And then he’s like oh my god, do I go there? And he did. He goes, ‘I hope he can stay sober,’” Wickersham explained.
After the call, Manning’s high school coach Nelson Stewart called Golding directly, saying “Pete, that’s f—ed up!”
Don Saban, with two henchman at his side, circa 2019.
Unlike the former OC he took over for, Sark made his recovery and didn’t turn it into a narcissistic showcasing of his new namaste philosophies on life. Just went back to work and got right. Good for him.
Josh Pate serves up a softball to Sarkisian. I understand Pate wants access over being a real interviewer, but the follow-up questions that could come from this were many (yes, he has done that with Kirby as well).
"High school kids have agents. How do we still motivate these guys to understand the value of team?"
Listening to Sark talk about culture of team first while he parks Lamborghinis in front of the football facility for high school recruiting visits makes me laugh.
The national talking heads are so desperate to be right about the Archduke. On another topic, Josh Pate haz a sad about where John Mateer is on the list.
If Manning’s stats from prior year were shown without his name compared to the others at the top of the list especially against opponents with a pulse, would he be anywhere close to the top?
Remember those days when they showed the Longhorns rolling out sports cars and huge wads of cash? And how Texas could just lock in those five stars by the buckets and they’d be GUARANTEED that the SEC run through Austin? Right? RIGHT?

Welp. Doesn’t look like it’s working…two years in, zero titles, and three losses to Georgia in the process while they poach Georgia recruits with the big money and sports cars.
Seems to be working well. Keep it up, Sark…and, as always, horns down.
Oh, Benevolent Archduke! How grateful are the Longhorns for your kind generosity in parsing out portions of your coffers in order to bring Agent Muschamp to Austin!
Well, well. I guess time off for family wasn’t all that it’s cracked up to be, was it?
Former #Georgia DC Will Muschamp will become the new DC for Texas, the school announces. 😳
Muschamp was the co-defensive cordinator for the Dawgs in the 2022 and 2023 seasons and then stepped back into a defensive analyst role in 2024. pic.twitter.com/fe5DkPejNk
His Vanderbilt son, Whit, was listed as a sophomore, so maybe he’s portaling to Texas, too. Some food for thought, though, before we rush to judgment that this will be the secret sauce to get Texas past Georgia.
New defensive coordinator, same offensive play caller at Texas. Fascinating.
Glad you enjoyed the atmosphere, Matthew. Just come on back if you ever wanna try again, we told you now thrice, you summanabitch, we’re the best there’s ever been.
This weekend saw one team virtually eliminated from the playoff race while a rival that team beat convincingly keeps its playoff hopes alive with a big victory on the road. The message boards were lighting up all over the place. Let’s start out today’s trip in Louisville to check on the temperature of the Greater Anderson Cow College fan base.
Clemson wins a game, and it pisses off a portion of the fan base. I’m guessing Dabo isn’t going anywhere unless he decides to do it. I don’t see Clemson joining the coaching carousel fray voluntarily at this point in this season unless major donors force their hand. Clemson lost the game everywhere except on the scoreboard (the one place that matters).
The Tyler from Spartanburg segment of the fan base clearly believes that championships are their birthright. They forget that Dabo brought them that success (and expectation) and that there used to be a thing called Clemsoning.
I don’t care what Clemson does, but I am here to watch the fallout.
Let‘s move on to College Station to see the smoking crater that is the South Carolina football program following the biggest choke job you’re going to see.
Clemson lost the first game in program history when scoring 45 or more points a couple of weeks ago at home against the University of New Jersey at Durham. South Carolina says, “Hold my beer, Tiggers” by breaking a 286 game SEC winning streak since 2004 when leading by 27+. Ouch.
I’m here for the chaos in the Palmetto State. The only thing South Carolina has to play for is to ruin the remainder of Clemson’s season in Columbia.
Let’s move on to Tuscaloosa to check on the Bammers after their most recent loss to Oklahoma.
Bammers can’t decide if DeBoer is the genius that holds the key to success against Georgia or if he’s a bumbling fool from the West Coast who doesn’t get it. The Sooners get a blocked field goal, a pick 6 and 2 more turnovers while only generating 212 yards of offense themselves. Bama still controls their own destiny to get to Atlanta with a win at Jordan-Hare in the Iron Bowl. F-bum is going to be glorious on Monday with the Bammer whining and the Georgia gloating.
Let’s move on to Oxford as the Rebel fan base wants closure on Kiffin’s decision one way or another.
The Handbags are officially “there’s no place like home for the holidays” after Saturday’s loss to Ole Miss in Oxford (snicker). The majority of Rebel fans want Lane to stay in Oxford, and Lane said he loves Ole Miss after the game.
I still don’t think he wants to leave to take a higher pressure job in an inferior location (Baton Rouge or Hogtown). The media and the airplane watchers are going to be watching what happens over the next week as Ole Miss starts its preparation for the Egg Bowl.
Let’s end today’s trip in the Classic City after the Dawgs flex their muscles against Texas again.
Why can’t we bottle what we show against Texas to use against another opponent (cough, cough … Alabama … cough, cough)? After the Dawgs bowed up to force a field goal on the game’s first possession, the defense really allowed nothing except when put on a short field after the 3rd quarter interception.
Gunner Stockton > Arch Manning. I don’t think there’s much more to say than that.
On any remaining debate of Kirby vs. Sark, I’ll let a good follow on Dawg X who commented frequently at GTP summarize it for you:
While we’re on the topic of the win in Athens, let’s look in on the nerds’ take on Saturday night.
Talk about not being a ball-knower in this situation. I guess when it takes a last second field goal to beat a (checks notes) 1-win Boston College team, all you can do is to take a shot at your rival. Black Friday is coming, nerds. You’re going to get our best shot since we’re not likely to be in the SEC championship game. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
What did you see this weekend? Let us know in the comments.
