OT: AU Hut Hut Squad
- Thread starter ThrustMaxwell
- Start date
Nix can be good but only if you replace the coach. Just look at Stidham. He has gone from a chicken shit looking vagina under Gus to an actual NFL quarterback under Belicheck
Didn't know until yesterday that my maternal grandpa had the distinction of having a first cousin that was the last true Frosh to start at QB for the boogs, and have a grandson that was SEC POY & QB for the Bams. He was all boog tho.
EDIT to say last true Frosh to start opening day.

I’m trying so hard to get there. I just hope we can at least beat Oregon. I promised my boys I would take them since the game is in Texas. Can’t stomach the idea of dropping a shat load of cash to see Gusbot beep bop around and get thrashed game 1. It’s a for real fear I have right now. Someone please talk me off the ledge.
We will look impressive against Oregon. Don’t fall for it though.
I’ll pay money to watch AU play again once I no longer have to worry about such things..
Oregon's ranking is a product of the PAC 12sucking more than them being great. Kind of like Washington last year.
I saw Oregon's bowl last year and was not the least bit impressed. I think the game will be a lot like Washington last year. Defense will play well but offense will struggle. Game will be a low scoring, boring snore fest.
****ing A someone on this board actually knows something about football would ya look at that.
I can’t do it. Cookie has convinced me Bo is light years ahead of Stidham already. This O can only stop itself.
You’re right. I completely exaggerated the opinions you’ve been sharing. You’ve only stated that you believe a dude who has never taken a snap at the college level is going to be better than a NFL draft pick immediately under the same coach. And that many QB’s of many ages would be better than JS. All apologies.
This while discussion started with the assumption the OL plays better. I said Stidham was not a good QB overall last year, so improved QB play this year, especially if OL play is better which is what started out discussion, isnt a crazy thought. I don't think Stidham is as bad as he looked last year, bur that doesn't change how bad he played last year.
I think Bo has the potential to be a better QB than Stidham and if I was betting, he will be. My biggest fear with Bo is that I think he will take some chances, which could lead to turnovers.
Now I'm not a big Stidham fan. He lacks toughness, has happy feet, and doesn't seem to be able to process the play as its happening as quick as needed at the QB play.
But I provided statistics on how bad he played last year and nothing crazy to say we can improve on QB play when compared to last year.
But you stay butthurt
Did JS suck ass last year? Yes. Why? Combo of him executing what was called and him trying to survive the year without a major injury. His focus was on his future as a NFL player. Is it reasonable to assume that a younger player wanting to prove himself at the college level would have a better focus? Yes
Is it reasonable to assume the play calling will be better? No cause Gus. Will a better OL help Nix? Water is wet. Will a better OL force Gus to call more plays to take advantage of the whole field? No. Can Gus change his ways and utilize the whole field? Yes Will he? Only Gus can say for sure but I say no until I see it on a consistent basis. Does JS getting drafted by the Pats means anything? Yes, it means they were willing to look past Gus malfeasance. Is a freshman going to be as polished as a NFL rookie? Depends on the rookie but generally no.

So what you’re saying is...we aren’t sure about anything?
I’m sure it’s year 7 and Gus got zero grace from me in 15,16,17, or 18 and he will get zero from me in 19 no matter how green his qb is. He has had more than enough time to recruit a QB and decent OL. It’s his side of the ball and he allowed others to walk all over him. Granted I would too if it lead to 10’s of millions of dollars but i’d not be looking for sympathy or “time”. I’d NGAF cause I’d have 10’s of Millions of dollars.
eh, not really - I’m more of a dabbler in hut hut these days... but even my dumbass has had Gus pegged since the 2nd quarter in Pasadena
I’ll just say this. If Gus was corching the Bams a couple of years ago in the NCG, Tua would have never gotten a shot. The erstwhile JJ led us to a 21-0 lead against the Piggies in the first half in 2014 when Nick was suspended. The MSU game Nick was the suck, like turning it over twice in our first three offensive plays & we got down 21-0. Gussy never even considered going to JJ, and don’t tell me he knew the new kid couldn’t do it. That’s the only Boog game I’ve ever attended that I don’t have at least one good memory. The flooding rains flipping back & forth with some of the hottest sun I can remember. Actually checked at halftime to see if the buses were running.
Phillip Marshall with some hard-hitting analysis:
Some relatively informed guesses about Auburn’s opener against Oregon:
--Freshman Auburn quarterback Nix will have good moments and bad in his first college football game.

defense will probably be really good. I'm not excited about football in the least.
Extreme heat. When did Phil turn into Steven A Smith?
Hard to pick more than that.
was just sent this behind the scenes vid of Brandon and Phil in there most recent editorial meeting.
Oregon seems like the Steve Nash Suns to me. If things are going well and the game is being played the way they want it to be played they'll score 50 on just about anyone. They'll look unstoppable. You'll think they are a real contender.
2 weeks later someone like Utah will slow the game down, make it ugly, force them to do things they don't want to do and they'll look like a crappy version of Duke or Ole Miss.
I would think our defense can impose it's will on them, but not if our offense leaves them on the field all night.
A friend sent me a screenshot from an article about OT crootin' which includes the depth chart going into next season.
Ok I’m worried now. AU DL getting way too much love from BSPN. AU DL (players) nominated for at least 4 of the awards. Most disruptive unit, most dynamic duo, best pass rusher and most pro ready player.
Anybody seen anything relating to team hotel in Dallas. Trying to figure out where we want to stay. Not much out near stadium. Thinking Los Colinas and play some golf. Any recs much appreciated
And then there is this regarding our current OT’s and the 2020 NFL draft. Stunner!

Not surprised by Tega just cuz he’s a freak but there’s no way Jake Driscoll is the 5th best Tackle prospect in college football
I’m staying at an Omni in Las Colinas. No idea where it is in relation to anything??? Somebody else made the reservations. Haven’t heard where the team is staying but I can find out.
