RB1: Cinematographer?

If Hugh did rape all three, that will be more than a one game suspension, imo.

TTFWIW the word on the skeets is this more serious than previously reported. Ryan Brown (formerly of JOX) said in an interview Thursday that the school issuing statements was a signal to him that something was up. He did some checking and all he could say was there was a lot more coming and some of it encircles CHF.

 

Not disputing that in any way.  Just trying to understand in what scenario U Free would be involved.  I know that's a soft toss for many witty replies, so fire away.  But, I have to believe he's on a VERY short leash, and any hint of impropriety would be disastrous. 

I'd lose all faith in mankind, and quit watching football altogether.

I think I'd be in the same boat.  I have been excited, knowing this is a man on a mission with no room for moral error.  Hoping there is no involvement and this was bad info.

should have listened to kaos.  i didn't.

RB wasn't saying CHF was there or anything. More along the lines of the aforementioned short leash and such. Again, could just be him talking out of his crack, too, but was a take I hadn't heard else.

[GH2001]

was a take I hadn't heard else.

There’s a reason. No reputable person is gonna touch this with rumors about the current coach being involved until something is verified. If the school or anyone close to it thought that was the case, you’d already see white smoke around the coach’s office.

Most of the photos and that video were dated to last fall, pre HF.

When Hugh was asked about the situation....

Can't tell by this if it is going to be detrimental to our season, or if they are just stealing a play from the DNC and not addressing it publicly. With the end goal of hoping the questions and outrage will die down so it can be swept under the rug.

Richard Silva, Montgomery Advertiser

MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. — Auburn football coach Hugh Freeze spoke to reporters for the first time Tuesday since the university released a statement May 18 saying it had issued "indefinite suspensions ... for violation of applicable Auburn Athletics department policy."

In an email exchange when the statement was first released, AU Executive Director of Public Affairs Jenifer Adams told the Montgomery Advertiser the situation was related to "videos that were posted on social media."

"We don't comment on individuals and their status with any disciplinary issues within our school," Freeze said at the SEC meetings at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa. "I really don't have a comment on that."

[Snaggletiger]

I get the no comment thing.  I think everyone outside of Lane Kiffin or Steve Spurrier, back in his day, would take that stance. Spurrier would say, "If you can't keep your dick off the internet, you can't play."

But to me, unless there's other shipth that hasn't come out, this is not that deep or involved. How long could it take to investigate something like this?

He did not say within our football team. So he has been instructed that this is NOT his decision.

Now we finally know why Buzz didn't play football in college.

[GH2001]

He did not say withing our football team. So he has been instructed that this is NOT his decision.

Which also means he most likely is not Involved.

[The Six]

I'm sure he's not. That will not stop sports media from going after him at every turn because of his past. Factor how many games this time is likely to eat dirt this fall, it's gonna be a long season. In the long run, Auburn will improve, but adjust your expectations, fam. If they get 5, that'll be something this fall.

Balderdash.
Poppycock, even.

[Snakebite]

This.

7 to 9 wins.  That is what my gut is telling me.

[Snaggletiger]

This.

7 to 9 wins.  That is what my gut is telling me.

This is where I'm at as well.  And my gut is much bigger than yours.

This program won 5 games last year with maybe the worst O-line we've had in fo-evah.  A raw, first time QB, who at times was playing as bad as Kadril Frayzha and Fetal Mosely ever thought about playing.  No go-to receiver.  And no edge rusher.  Derick was my man, but he just wasn't very quick off the edge.

No excuses for losing to LSU or Miss. State.  To be fair, Missouri really wasn't a win. 

U Free brought in a lot of high end Group of 5 players.  How will that translate to the SEC?  We'll just have to wait and see.  But on paper, I think this bunch is much better across the board.

[The Six]

This.

7 to 9 wins.  That is what my gut is telling me.

I recommend Tums Chewy.

[Snakebite]

I recommend Tums Chewy.

It's a staple, brother.  (Ir)regardless, your 5 win prediction stinks and I hate it.

[Snaggletiger]

I recommend Tums Chewy.

Why say you such poppycock and balderdashery?  We're better, and deeper across the board.  And U Free is absolutely a better coach than Bryman Hasbeenz and an interim Caddy.

Reasons?

[WiregrassTiger]

7 to 9 wins is very realistic. Hew potentially replaced half of the starters, there is depth on O line and a seasoned QB.

Still some q’s because they have to prove it at the SEC level. No doubt that is a question. And glaringly, LB is also a position than I think needs a boost.

Still, 8 is my number and the over is not a terrible stretch.

Obviously, if Hugh is convicted of raping Jarquez, I’d take the under.

Culture and regime change takes time. I need to see if a team built from spare parts all over the place can congeal into a more functional Transformer than last year's GoBot. Also, factor in teams with a "head start" in front of Auburn along with the schedule, I think there are growing pains. Next year? I am on the 8-9 train fo sho.
