I have diddly to go on other than the Spring game. Neither have any college experience other than a mop up, hand the ball off role for Gatewood in the bowl game. I thought Nix had a good bit more touch with his passes and he was surprisingly quick when he took off. The thing I like is this may be a long term dealio....if he works out.

Nix has basically been groomed for this all his life, growing up in a football family with dad playing at Auburn. Patrick has extensive college coaching experience including the OC at Miami. I would say his son has learned from a pretty damn good one.

Yeah, there will be growing pains, and playing QB under Malzahn may be the biggest obstacle of all. I think in the long run, he could turn out to be very good. Not making any predictions because I bought the Jeremy Johnson hype and thought he'd set records. Actually, I think he did. Just not in the areas we'd like. But, doesn't it seem like JJ had a lot more hype to him than 5* Nix does? I guess people are just being cautiously optimistic. I know I am.

We have the same thoughts with Malzahn being a built-in obstacle so let's hope the kid has enough resilience to overcome crazy play calling and misguided blame.

I predict Gus will have him broke by midseason. He will turtle next year before he finally transfers to Appalachia State in year three.
I hope I have to eat these words.

Normally I would agree except for the x-factor. His daddy won't let that happen. Shows me all I need to know that a True Freshman beats out the guy that has already been in the program for a year.

It's definitely going to be baptism by fahr. If he's still standing at midseason, we may have something at QB.

Also shows me that Nix wanted it more. Maybe perhaps Gatewood thought the job was his and took things for granted? Maybe not. Regardless, Nix showed up and showed out along with diddy I'm sure being very vocal. We all should have seen this coming really.

Gus had a full year to screw Gatewood up

Wanted more, took things for granted or seen it coming? Easy answer, NO, to all three.

Exactly...however I don't think Pat would let Gus screw up Bo at least that's what I'm hoping.

Go Gaytah's depth on the D-line just took a shot. They lost senior, Elijah Conliffe for the season with a foot injury. 6'4" 310 pound back up who played in 13 games last season.

I know that's a little more Jorts U info than most people want, but Florida has had some attrition in the off season and the schedules for a lot of the SEC teams is absolutely brutal. Florida's "meat" comes in the middle and with a stretch including Auburn, LSU, Sakerlina and Fuck Georgia, you need all the able bodies you can get.

Plus, it should be about 143 degrees Saturday against Miami.

Agree. The shoddy treatment of Sean White exposed Gus and I think the Auburn faithful would go pitchforks and torches if the same is applied to Nix.

Found a few old posts elsewhere mentioning White's grittiness and Stidham's hesitance and how the combination of the two would be a perfect fit.

I can still see White playing hurt and desperately asking for a play while the sideline fuckery forces the wildcat.
Stidham knew what he was getting into and had a sense of survival about him which often angered us but then none of us currently occupy a roster spot with the Patriots. Good on him...he made it!

Observations/Opinions:

The official opening of college foosballz is tomorrow. I love weekends that we don't play. No pressure. No skress. So, it's some high school ball tonight and have some peeps over tomorrow to grill some type of meat...to be determined. But it will include some Conecuh, the OFFICIAL SAUSAGE of your Auburn Tigers.

Random Thought: I hate Fuck Georgia. But, I've caught a few games on the SEC Network that they've been running from last season to lead up to this one. Seen FUGA a few times and one thing that stands out about them recently and over the years is they rarely have a big name in the trenches. Yeah, occasionally they do, but their defense always seems to be centered around 220 lb. guys who can flat out fly. Linebackers and safeties who will run your ass down. I truly believe we have our own right now in Owen Pappoe. The Corches are raving on this guy. Can't wait to see him on the field.

Another random thought: I saw where they are saying the Tulane game will be a white out. First off, that's racist. Second, I don't want to wear white. I sweat a lot and white really isn't flattering on my ample man-boobs.

Speaking of, I've been in search of the 2019 game day shirt. It appears it's down to a basic, sold blue Columbia. Simple and classic.
