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.
NEWS: #LSU signees, Dae’Quan Wright, Zxavian Harris, and Junior Tuihalamaka (alongside former Tiger, Jack Pyburn and others) will have a Preliminary Injunction hearing on Monday, August 31 at 1:30pm CT.
Say, now that’s interesting! The NCAA could slap a ban on LSU football from play or invalidate wins because Joey Freshwater conspired against the NCAA? Didn’t this really get started in Oxford, anyway?
If that’s the case and they can prove it, would that constitute “cause” in releasing Kiffin from his LSU contract? While hilarious and maybe a backhanded way for Lane to kill one of Alabama’s rivals and then backdooring his way into the Alabama head coaching position would be a level degree of chess that even I never gave him credit for.
of course this is on the heels of USA Today ranking Alabama the number 2 party school in the US, so maybe Lane had this in the works all along.
One thing of note: just because these guys can’t play in the SEC or B1G doesn’t mean they can’t play in other conferences. That means there’s only one way this can go for the ultimate “hilarity ensues” moment…
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.
Look how much cleaner Auburn's team picture looks. Im not ocd but the jumbled mess Alabama looks like drives me crazy. Auburn wins picture day 😄 pic.twitter.com/hgNP8SA7Sb
For the folks at Texass, it’s important that, in what is predicted to be their bestest team ever and the most talented in modern football history, that they finally get some SEC scheduling they deserve.
Mind you, if all six of those teams remain in the Top 25 by season’s end, I’ll be shocked. Mizzou, LSU, Texas A&M, and Tennessee are all always suspect…but at least they didn’t get the Charmin soft schedule they enjoyed during their inaugural years in the SEC.

Imagine running an offense that leans heavily on the passing game and deciding to pay the most for a running back. No, that’s not a Mike Bobo decision…look no further than our Hillbilly friends up north to do just that.
Five-Star Plus+ Tennessee RB commit David Gabriel Georges is set to become the highest-paid RB recruit ever 💰
Of all the opinions on Georgia’s offseason issues, this is certainly one of them.
Kirby Smart needs to be held accountable for the reckless, out-of-control, disgrace of a program he’s running.
We laugh about the arrests and low graduation rates, but it’s really not funny what he’s doing to these kids. This unfortunately rings more true than ever now, with… https://t.co/MdwMJACiB0
“We laugh about the arrests and low graduation rate…”
With all due respect, no one is laughing about these things, except for rival fans, who then turn it into righteous indignation. This, mind you, coming from a Miami fan, the same Miami who covered up a serious traffic incident with star defensive player Reuben Bain:
Former Miami defensive end and 2026 NFL draft prospect Rueben Bain Jr. was involved in an auto accident in 2024 in which a passenger later died because of injuries sustained in the crash, according to a report published Sunday.
The crash report alleges Bain was driving a 2021 Land Rover SUV that had three other passengers — fellow Hurricanes football players Wesley Bissainthe and Nyjalik Kelly, along with a 22-year-old Georgia woman, Destiny Betts. Bain’s vehicle rear-ended another car, veered into a concrete barrier, then ricocheted into another barrier before coming to a rest on the shoulder of the highway.
Betts was taken to Ryder Trauma Center in Miami, according to The Read Optional. The outlet reported that Betts was in a coma for nearly three months before she died from her injuries on June 13, 2024.
At some point, this is where the new sports media has to take a look at themselves and ask “what have we become”…when the time comes where Chip Towers looks like real integrity in journalism, we have a real deal shitposting problem.
And when it comes from fans of a program like Miami, where they are actively harnessing NIL to compromise the integrity of the sports by poaching every decent player they can find, all the while continuing to not even win their own worthless conference, you know we have a real deflection problem.
Let’s go on a quick flashback to 2024, shall we…anyone remember this?
Yeah, Tennessee fans recall this vividly, moreso than the 42 point thrashing that ensued via the Suckeyes that same evening.
In light of the Warde Manuel/Michigan controversy and what is becoming more and more obvious that there wasn’t an objective consideration of teams and their records and strengths of relative wins and losses, they are opining this:
Tennessee had a legitimate argument to host a playoff game in 2024. The Vols needed to beat out four teams: Ohio State, Notre Dame, Texas, and Penn State.
When you actually broke down the resumes, Tennessee’s case was arguably the strongest.
Ohio State had two wins against playoff teams in Indiana and Penn State, but neither of those opponents had a signature win of their own. The Buckeyes lost to Oregon (No. 1 in playoff rankings) on the road early and then lost at home to Michigan (a 7-5 team). Tennessee, meanwhile, lost to Arkansas (a 6-6 team) on the road and lost to Georgia (No. 2 in the final playoff rankings) on the road. The Vols were undefeated at home and Ohio State wasn’t (the two teams had very similar losses otherwise). I think that matters — especially when the conversation is about who deserves to host a playoff game.
Notre Dame had the worst loss in college football that year, falling at home to Northern Illinois. Texas didn’t have a single win against a team that finished ranked in the final playoff rankings. And Penn State’s best win was against Illinois (Tennessee’s best win was against 9-3 Alabama, which finished No. 11 in the final playoff rankings — meaning the Vols kept them out, essentially).
think it’s fair to assume that the reason Tennessee didn’t host was because Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel was the chairman of the playoff committee.
And in subsequent years, it’s become clear that Manuel had no business being on that committee, let alone chairing it.
Manuel is on the verge of losing his job amid a wave of scandals and a $12 million investigation. The University of Michigan Board of Regents is meeting later this week in Traverse City to determine Manuel’s fate. And the fact that this is the guy who served as the point man in the room when Tennessee was denied a home playoff game should make every Vols fan furious all over again. (emphasis added)
Correction: Tennessee fans just stay mad. For good reason. However, as much as I love Hillbilly tears, I’m afraid I have to agree with them on this one. Manuel’s blatant homerism and lack of an ethical fiber makes the 2024 season seem and even more scrupulous endeavor of tipping the scales to favor the B1G.
But…BUT…let’s not forget the favoritism came from the media as well. For no explainable reason whatsoever, from December 1st to December 8th, Ohio State and Tennessee flip-flopped in rankings, which bolstered the CFP committee’s final decision:
Mind you, the Coaches didn’t agree, at all:
I couldn’t find our trusted Mumme Poll, but if memory serves me correctly, Ohio State wasn’t even in the top ten after a monumental loss to Michigan (which, in retrospect, looks even more suspect now, doesn’t it?). Of course, we’re looking past Notre Dame’s ascent from losing to Northern Illinois, beating a ranked Louisville and two ranked service academies…to 3rd?
Some things go beyond Warde Manuel, but they still stink of the same bull sh*t, now don’t they?
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:
